Gis A Passport Der Kid!

At the weekend, I headed up to Seoul with my mate Lindsay cos' we'd booked a tour of the DMZ for Saturday.

I was well excited about this trip. 8 and a half months here and I still haven't been. In anticipation I watched Joint Security Area.

Phenomenal movie about a South Korean soldier and a North Korean soldier who become friends. Check it out.

I've also since started reading Nothing to Envy and it's hard to put down.

So Friday night Kevla rocks up to Busan Station and get's on the train to Seoul. We get to our hostel in Hongdae, check in, then head out for some scran. We're sat in Taco Bell(which, by the way, is amazing! We definitely need one in Liverpool and Busan!) when Lindsay mentions a passport, 

"Och Jimmy wah best make sure wah dinnae forget wah passports tomorrae!" 

My name isn't Jimmy, but she's Scottish and no one has a clue what the poor girl says, but it was something along those lines.

After a few minutes of filtering this sentence through my Scottish translator in my head I realised...I'd forgotten my bloody passport! I'd come all the way to Seoul, booked a hostel and the tour and forgotten my passport! What a div!

So instead I went with Ruth round to her mates for a Shephard's Pie...BOSS! Then we all gathered in the living room, round the laptop, and watched some American sitcoms. 

Now usually, the thought of watching an American sitcom makes me cringe. Sorry my American friends, you make some really good TV, but you also make some horrendous bollocks! Dawson's Creek and The Orange County spring to mind. I'd rather spend the afternoon picking dead flies from a camel's ass than watch that drivel! If the US had caught Bin Laden alive, they should have strapped him to a chair and made him watch re-runs of that crap. That would have been a fitting punishment to his crimes!

And when Kev, our host, told us we were gonna watch a new American show called Modern Family, a little shiver ran down my spine and I thought to myself "this is gonna be worse than that time Ruth dragged me to the cinema to watch the Time Traveller's Wife!" But it was actually quite good. I'll give you that one America.

What was the point of this post? 

1. Don't forget your passport if you go to the DMZ.
2. Watch Joint Security Area, read Nothing to Envy and go to Taco Bell.
3. Get Ruth and Wendy to make you a Shephard's Pie...amazing!
4. If any of your friends own a copy of any of the following TV shows, piss on them.

• Dawson's Creek, The O.C., The Hills, 90210, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hollyoaks, Charmed, Roswell, Smallville, or any other show similar to these which leave a cultural stain on young peoples lives!

I mean piss on your friends copy of the TV show. Although if you want to piss on your friend for owning any of these titles, feel free, they deserve it...but it's OK to watch Modern Family.
