I just got back from an interminably long, hot bus ride back from the airport after seeing Rebecca off. So, with the help of some really loud music and a few beers, I shall assuage my loneliness. Ok. Ok. That was terribly maudlin (and yes, I am listening to cheesy love songs), but I AM bummed.
We had a great week together. Rebecca hasn't been to Korea before so I had great plans to do some touristy stuff, which included seeing some of the temples and mountains and hiking around a bit. These plans were rather quickly dashed when Rebecca told me that the only hiking she wanted to do was up the escalator at any given department store or around the streets of shopping districts. I was fine with this because a) department stores are air conditioned and it's summer here in Korea, and b) Rebecca's idea of shopping with me was to to sit me down in a coffee shop or some such place and go off by herself! Hell, she left me in the Seoul Pub to go wander the stores of Itaewan! That's my kind of shopping. I LOVE this woman! We also went to see NANTA, which, if you live in Korea and haven't seen it, or you are coming to Korea, IT'S AN ABSOLUTE MUST! The show is so much fun. This was my third time seeing the show and it was just as great as the first.
We also did some exploring around Gongju and Daejeon. We went to Santa's of course because she wanted to see that hallowed temple of beer and good times. We spent a lot of time walking around, taking busses from place to place and, amazingly enough, have NOT ONE SINGLE PHOTO from the whole trip. Go figure!
Anyway, it was wonderful to have her here, even if only for a week. I'm going back to my beer and songs like this:
BABE - Styx
Babe, I'm leavin'
I must be on my way
The time is drawing near
My train is going
I see it in your eyes
The love, the need, the tears
But I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
So please believe me
My heart is in your hands
And I'll be missing you
'Cause you know it's you babe
Whenever I get weary and I've had enough
Feel like giving up
You know it's you babe
Givin' me the courage and the strength I need
Please believe that it's true
Babe, I love you
Babe, I'm leavin'
I'll say it once again
And somehow try to smile
I know we're feeling
We're trying to forget
If only for a while
'Cause I'll be lonely without you
And I'll need your love to see me through
Please believe me
My heart is in your hands
'Cause I'll be missing you
Babe, I love you
Babe, I love you
...and so it goes.
