Korea

Day One

What's up man? Lately I'm in Korea. And with lately I mean today. After several hours in a tube in the sky, me and my accomplice set foot in the Far East. Then it was more tubes again. Trains and tunnels. We left the airport and drove through a lush and mountaineous land, dotted with high-rise settlements. More tunnels. At some point . . .

The Rat

A (morbid) story

Silvrback blog image

I lived in a tiny room. My room mates lived in much bigger rooms.
An inexplicable wave of apathy had struck me, leaving me to drop out of my study through not attending it

Dutch Drugs

Why weed is not cool in Holland.
