a seoul search

Ahoj mateys,

This is Nami and Jen, reporting for duty from the mean streets of seoul. We're in the SK this summer, from June 13 - August 31, to teach ambitious korean high school students how to become like us! -- super cool, outstanding, and unemployed Harvard grads. Oh, and Jen's going to scour the entire peninsula for Daniel Henney.

You guys probably miss us already. And don't think you can live without us. We know this. In order to address such an egregious grievance, we have given ourselves most fully and wholeheartedly to the online world.
  • blogging. we will be updating this blog most frequently, with embarrassing tales of (mis)acculturation and even more embarrassing photos of our consumption of bread. we will also try to upload video of our feeble attempts at speaking korean. seoulmateys.blogspot.com, tap that.
  • tweeting. you can follow our travels and travails at @namis & @jlames.
  • fb-ing. photos (and albums) will be uploaded to our facebooks.
  • skyping. we have no (real-life) friends here and desperately yearn for human contact. skype us at namisng, jenn.ames, so that we can remember how to speak English!
  • emailing. if you really care about us, you can e-mail us (but we won't hold our breaths): namisng@gmail.com; jenn.ames@gmail.com
Additionally, we have purchased phones and do have an address!
  • Add: #301 Green Bill, 695-37 Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea, 135-917
  • Phone: 010-5784-0010
In conclusion, we miss you. We are going to take Seoul by storm; they just don't know it yet (because a) we have no friends, b) all we do is stuff our faces and pass out by 10pm, c) everyone laughs at us). But, just you wait, Seoul. And you too, America.
