“He’s a Seoul Man”

Paris Marathon Training: Week 1 of 18
Today’s target run: 33 minutes
Today’s completed run: 33 minutes

The Budman is back in the city that started overseas living for us: Seoul, South Korea. Actually, he is speaking at a conference, so it will be a quick trip over and back. He did confirm that he arrived safely, and that all items (i.e. briefcase, passport, suitcase, Ipod) were accounted for. (Yes, we’ve had some issues in the past of forgetting our things on trains).

However, before the conference actually began, I have it on good report that a quick trip to Itaewon transpired. Yes, Joe, more Hamilton shirts were purchased as it was time to turn some of the inventory. Plus, this is the land of the “genuine fake”, so maybe there will even be a few early Christmas surprises for me. Bud did remark that Itaewon is “not what is used to be”. I guess nothing is ever quite like you remember it.

Finally, there is a Starbuck’s in Itaewon that is only about a 5 minute walk from the old apartment. Just about 4 years too late.
