Back for another update. Sorry for taking so long...anyways.... Club day was really fun several weekends ago. The premise is basically you pay 15 dollars and you get a wristband that gets you admission into any club in the city. On that friday, before clubbing, I was supposed to meet my friend Woo-jeon to see his rock band perform. Unfortunately there was some heavy rain/traffic that day and what should have been a 90 min. bus ride became 3 1/2 hours long.

Another interesting thing happened last weekend. So actually I bought a ticket to japan several weeks before (right before my last post), and planned to go and surprise all my friends there. To prevent arriving without any idea of where people are, I hired the help of an accomplice. With this partner in crime (don't know if you're reading this O, but sorry got a new partner) I surprised/scared my friends pretty well. Man, I love japan so much. I was only there for 5 days/4 nights and I already want to stay there for another year. I just visited the same city that I studied abroad at last year. The cool thing about this visit is that I got to see a lot of new things that I didn't even knew existed before. Like last year, leaving that place was the hardest thing ever. On top of that, I had a presentation due the following friday (last friday).

Cool things I'm going to do soon:
- Metallica/Tool concert in Seoul Olympic Stadium on tuesday the 15th
- Some friends of mine are coming to Daejeon soon for school, so I'm not going to be only person here in a bit
- Going to have my final presentation Friday, Aug 25th....after which I'll be homeless as my dormitory lease ends.
- Planning to choose a direction and keep biking...It's a poor substitute for a car, but this way I can see more of the country.

Some interesting things about KAIST.
- There are a large number of stray cats.....which are constantly fed by sad-looking students. I've seen one guy feeding the cats for several hours. My friend tells me they do that to impress girls with their sensitivity...Whatever works I guess..
- There is a ghost that lives in the mechanical engr. building. It gets up at around 8pm, and keeps summoning the elevators to the basement. Everytime you ride the elevator up alone, the whole thing starts shaking violently at around the 4th floor.....I swear.
- All of the doors are automatic, and after 7pm, you need to press a button just to exit a building.
- Speaking of automatic doors.....they are deadly, they just close without any care about whats in the way. It's closed on me several times......luckily it doesn't hurt.....too much.
- One of my lab members drives his sister's car, a bright red morning glory, which is decked out with snoopy logos on the doors. There are a wide assortment of stuffed animals, and some very fruity scented candles. The seat covers even look like ninja turtles (that's cool)...Now add in an all-male lab that goes out to lunch every day. We look like the coolest people in Kaist.....haha..
