On Saturday I met my friend Seungbae and his wife, who came out to Ilsan to visit. Seungbae is one of my closest Korean friends, and was very supportive to me through my cancer two years ago, but I don't see him much, because in his current job, he has been living in Mexico City. He is my "Spanish-speaking Korean friend," whom I met way back in 2010 when I was living in Suwon and looking for a job – he was looking for a job at that time, too. He found one, and is doing quite well.
Anyway, recently Seungbae's been tasked by his company with setting up a new company office in L.A., but has been back in Korea for a few weeks. So he came to visit. We went out to eat at the 본죽 (Korean-style congee restaurant) that's across the street from my apartment, and had some coffee.
I am lucky to have so many good friends who stick with me despite my antisocial tendencies.

you’re looking good, Jared, so glad you have supportive friends!
Jared, thank you for sharing — and, you look terrific….I don’t think you aged a bit since I last saw you!!!
Seriously, with that hat on you don’t look a day over 17, but more like 12. 🙂
