historic site number 267

neolithic pit-houses

deery-lou.
on monday i found myself train bound for amsa-dong, gangdong-gu. destination the amsa-dong prehistoric settlement site, historic site number 267. it's the largest neolithic settlement site in korea. there's not a whole lot to see besides the pit-houses, the exhibition halls, and some ostriches but it was all well worth the trip. and besides it only cost 500 won which is like $.50. it was quite interesting to see how they lived back then. the entire settlement area is quite big. lots of open space, trees, flowers, etc. i saw two korean women painting. after touring the site hyun-sik and i headed to the coex where i did some shopping. it was hella crazy. we tried to see charlie and the chocolate factory but it was sold out. i did see a lesbian couple [foreigners of course] holding hands in a coffee shop. sweet. for a minute i felt like i was back in san francisco. after we headed over to gangnam for some thai food. unfortunately that place was closed. instead we ended up at a dumpling restaurant and had steamed dumplings and dumpling soup. it was quite tastey. spent the rest of the evening relaxing. lately for some reason i've had major allergies this year. wheezing, coughing, stuffy nose. it makes sleeping such a joy. hopefully it'll pass soon.

be well...
