Today is the Korean national holiday called "어린이날" (eorininal = Children's Day). It sort of functions like a combined nationwide birthday party for all kids. This makes all the public parks, malls, etc. pretty hectic, but it's fun to see.
I spent part of the morning scrubbing more floors in my apartment. Then I took a bus into Gwangju – I had the epiphany that the bus trip into Gwangju takes less time than the subway ride I used to do every weekend into Gangnam from Ilsan – so I might as well get some occasional urbanistic stimulus.
I still don't have internet in my apartment, but I got my "alien card" yesterday, so now I can use the free wi-fi in Starbucks here in Gwangju by typing in my magic secret ID number. Unfortunately, at the moment, the connection speed I'm getting makes my 1994 AOL dial-up look downright speedy. Nevertheless, I've managed to check my email, and hopefully I can submit a few "back-posts" to my blog, along with this one.
