Cross "go to karaoke" off my life's to-do list

Sunday, August 6, 3:30PM
Thanks to persistent cajoling by some of my trip-friends, I gave in to peer pressure and went out with them last night. Today I suffer. I’m just one of those lame guys who needs plenty of sleep, especially given the stress of being away from home, now for a week and a half. I’ve been able to absorb some of the significance of the sites that we visited today, and hopefully I will write a few words (or more, as I am want to do…) about them tomorrow, but right now the tyranny of the clock means that I don’t have time to say more than this: Karaoke can be fun, but it helps if you are someone who enjoys silly fun. I’m not so much that kind of person, but I did enjoy the first 30 minutes or so and laughed a lot. Then it started to get a bit dull, from my perspective, so I headed home, earlier than my buddies but still a good three hours later than I prefer. Tonight I’m going to relax in the hotel sauna and then (I hope) get a good night’s sleep in preparation for tomorrow’s religious sites and the bus ride back to Seoul (and gratefully into the soothing embrace of the Beloved Vabien).
