I’m cleaned up and ready for action!

Not my real apartment

For quite some time now my room has been a complete shit hole.

I hate it. There were old clothes, old bottles, old…just crap all over the place.

Talk about depressing. There’s nothing worse than waking up from a hangover and realizing that you live is a pile of crap.

The truth is that I am a very organized and clean person, but I’m also a perfectionist. Three weeks ago I set out to clean my desk, which I did, but it took over an hour.

Every little think much be clean. It must look perfect when I finish.

However, for that past three months…make that four, I have not had the spare time to complete this task.

Today, however, I did. I woke up feeling great after a fun night at Hongdae (see below).

So, for 7 hours I separated trash, sorted laundry, wiped down counters, did dishes, and washed my floors.

In short I cleaned the shit out of my apartment.

I can not express the amount of stress relief I feel living in a clean apartment again!

Here’s the result. I knew I had clothes that don’t fit anymore…but I didn’t know how many.

This is the picture of all the crap that doesn’t fit anymore. Sad really. I think that’s like $1500 worth of clothes or more.

Does anyone know how I can productively get rid of these clothes in Korea?

Now my wardrobe is comprised of the following.

5 undershirts
3 shirts
4 Pairs of jeans
1 suit
4 suit shirts (that barely made the “too big” cut. They still look hideous”)
2 coats

Even my suit that I dropped half a grand on to get custom made last month is getting too big for me.

Next month I am going to shop the shit out of Doota market I swear. I can finally fit into their largest size in shirts, and 32 jeans are everywhere!

Anyways….back to last night.

Last night was the first night that it was warm enough to play guitar at Hongdae park.

After meeting with my language partner in Hapjeong for some amazing food we stopped my for coffee.

I love how they do coffee art here. The place was called Chan’s Coffee, and it’s a pretty sweet place to go!

But I met up with Andrew at the park. He had his guitar and we found a nice secluded place to play and started playing away from people.

Our goal was to have a little fun play guitar, listening to the vibe of the park, but not trying to impress anyone.

Then people started creeping into the seats behind us. Then a girl came and gave us some makkelli.

Then she did it again. Then she asked us to turn around so she could hear us better because we were being rude and selfish not letting them hear us!

Hahaha… I liked the way she put it.

This was all in Korean of course and translated.

I same a few songs, Andrew sang a few songs, and then I got told quite strongly that I needed to learn Korea very very fast because she wanted to flirt with me but had no means of doing so with the language barrier!

oh…her way with words.

After that we went to FF Club.

The result of the evening is that I am again falling in love with Hongdae.

And that I have a new theory about Korean girls…the ones with the best personality are not from Seoul, but from outside Seoul.

Am I right on this? Is Apgujeong girls : Seoul :: Seoul girls : Korea?
