The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Saturday, January 18, 2003. This Blog is a rather continual work in progress. It looks rather lame at the moment. But one day in the not to distant future I hope that lameness will disappear. Maybe even forever! Posted by Grant @ 1/18/2003 07:38:00 PM. Friday, January 17, 2003. In a word: Yogi. This is like the first Korean word I learned. It ...

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Saturday, August 28, 2004. More proof that Koreans are from not a different country, but a different planet. If you've never been to Korea, the article may leave you slightly bemused, doubting whether it can. Be like that here. Well, it is. There. A Korean book that has a list of questions single women. Nearing or in their 30's. Google Page Rank 6.

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Thursday, September 11, 2003. I sat waiting in no better a place than the waiting room, surrounded by Koreans not really acknowledging my presence. After a short time one of the men who looked like he may be in charge approached me cautiously and began to speak in broken English. As soon as the question was out of his mouth he waited expectantly f...

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea): Writer's Block
http://surridge.blogspot.com/2004/06/writers-block.html
The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Monday, June 07, 2004. In my alternative Korean life, as imagined by Min-gu, I would spend the two years I was supposed to be in the army either counting traffic or wearing a stupid uniform and making sure people get on and off the subway trains before the door closes. In many ways more productive than large segments of my real life. I am a Patriot.

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Friday, July 04, 2003. I am a Patriot. I am a patriot, I love my country, because my country is all I know. I wanna be with my family, people who understand me. I got no place else to go. I sort of chuckled and gave him a polite nod. I am living for free in the man’s home. I sat eating my kimchi and daydreamed an alternative. Don’t bother with pol...

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Saturday, June 12, 2004. Weed to control hooligans? Keeping with the random nature of my blog posts I give you the following. Any way I swing it I can't seem to find a Korean connection. This is absolutely brilliant:. It's OK to smoke dope, England fans told. I've seen the English in SE Asia and in Prague, and that's probably about a tenth as lout...

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea): No posts for a while
http://surridge.blogspot.com/2004/06/no-posts-for-while.html
The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Tuesday, June 22, 2004. No posts for a while. I'm not sure that this is entirely necessary, the regular readership of my blog being what it is: almost non-existent. But nevertheless. Off to Malaysia as of today. A nice 10-day holiday whose main purpose will be to see an old friend, lie on the beach drinking beer, and get my new work visa.

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea): No closer to not losing it

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Thursday, August 19, 2004. No closer to not losing it. The ban is over and my blogging procrastination has gone beyond ridiculous. The heat wave is not even an excuse anymore. But that’s good, the constant film of sweat enveloping my entire body was getting to be a bit much. Full of resentment that, because I'm a wuss, further confrontation would ...

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Thursday, May 08, 2003. Sort of a teacher. Back from St. Louis in one piece, after sleeping off a sore-throat caught somewhere in the middle of America I signed into Blogger and let my mind wander. What do I do? What the hell do I do? I mean really when it’s thrown out there in the harsh light of the US Customs Office at the North Dakota Manitoba ...

The Big Electric Kurva (in Korea). Short stories and sometimes musings about my life with the Koreans. It is a blog desperately in need of an editorial thread. Monday, September 13, 2004. I thought I'd share with the few people who actually read this blog a touching email I received from one of my students. I think Jennifer may have had just a. Bit of help from one of those free online translating services, but nobody's perfect. The teacher How are you, me in Jennifer the bedspread! The Korean name the p...
