letter to my bro about korea
oy, glad that you got a chance to see my blog. it's good - that thing does work - well i mean, it's good that someone reads it.
yeah, i'm in the airport now in incheon, korea. they have a very cool computer lounge here - $3 for an hour. the seats are spacious, desks are modern, and they have a fridge selling all kinds of sodas and waters over by the check-in counter. once you pay, you can use the computers for internet or other stations set up so kids/whoever can play Playstation. across the way they also have this amazing and spacious lounge with beautiful red and white leather reclining chairs set up to iriver headsets so people can sit back and listen to tunes while waiting.
in some ways korea is really awesome. as i was walking down the street today near binh's office, i passed a whole wall of "E-newspapers." passersby can stop and have a look at the news on their way to work. also, when i was riding the elevator up from the parking lot in binh's building this morning, the elevator had a plasma tv screen, and people were watching the news in there. i also saw people watching little portable television sets on their cell phones on the subway. i know they have these things available in other countries, but this is the first place where i saw lots of average, apparently middle-class people using such devices. the other amazing thing about the cell-phone-tvs on the subway was that there was reception underground. when i'm in japan, you have to wait until the train rolls into a station in order to have reception just long enough to send a text message before the train pulls away again and you get cutt off again.
anyways.... i think i'll have to cut and paste this little report on my blog now and expand a little. i enjoyed looking at your photos of your test tube baby. i'm looking forward to getting back to japan so i'll have the time finally to look into how invitro really works.
well, i'm signing off now. i'll be in the states from sept 14. til then i'll be doing a homestay with karen, her sister, and her mom, fumiko (suzuki) see you soon, AM
