Christian, you are famous in New York now! The Brooklyn alternative newspaper The Brooklyn Rail published my story on you in their May edition. On paper only; the good old fashioned way. Here a link anyway... http://brooklynrail.org/2010/05/express/waygooks-stories-from-korea-compiled-and-edited-by-j-scott-burgeson
If you want a copy of the paper, follow the link and ask the publishers to send you one.
Btw, I recently went to Dandong (great views over the Yalu river to North Korea)and Shenyang. that ugly town has the biggest Koreatown in China... complete with a great dogmeat alley, lots of official NK restaurants and an incredibly large sex industry.
Went to Qingdao too. The home of Tsingtao beer. Great place. They got cool old seamen's bars serving the best of the beer ... bars like right out of a Joseph Conrad novel. Didn't know that that kind of bars still existed anywhere.
Beer 20 元、hooker 300 元, can't remember the prices for tattoos and haircuts. Full service bars, the way it should be.
What's happening in Berlin?
