I Come with the Rain


There's a huge film festival going on in Korea right now. It's called PIFF (Pusan International Film Festival) and it's one of the biggest in Asia. This event draws a huge crowd and lots of good movies on the fringe get shown here. One of more anticipated films is the one pictured above, 'I Come with the Rain'. Josh Hartnett was in Korea recently promoting it and the hype got pretty big because a famous Korean actor, Lee Byung-hun, is in it as well.

I saw it last weekend at a sold out show. I don't want to give anything away but it's not a film you can easily forget. The violence is brutal and very graphic and a lot of people walked out of the theatre. I don't know if it will get a US release or not, but if it does, check it out.

Everyone Does It

I've been struggling to find fresh new things to post about. Things don't seem that 'different' to me now that I've been here 6 months. Kind of gotten into the daily grind, I guess.

Until I saw this book at our school today. I thought it was some kind of joke but apparently not. I was told some of the younger kids REALLY like this book and entire lessons are written especially for this topic. It's hilarious:




No sh*t?



Here we learn about different sizes and consistency!



Do deer poo at full sprint?



Who takes off their pants BEFORE going inside a public restroom?



+ Style points for going while smoking a pipe.



Look closely at the kid. Necessary? I don't know.
