Dave in Korea

About Me

I'm a big guy & I stand out here & everyone stares at me. I usually stare back or give them a polite & customary bow.
I enjoy Korean culture...
(I'm Canadian)

A piano to play & a few more interesting people's #'s on my cellphone & I should be good to go!

My Interests

I am interested in being interested..., Interested in being interesting, advertantly..., Sea turtles & sloppy, flacid writing...Hysteria & other such alternatives to hardcore chemical drugs like maybe: dancing too much or doing something absurd or travelling somewhere or...Playing too much piano or keyboard with Stow., Lately I enjoy getting lost on purpose. You really have to have a knack for it and it never lasts very long., At the core we're all interested in the same thing(s). I'd like to think I'm less interested in my own self-worth than most people are, though...
