It's cold in Seoul

The immigration staff at Seoul's Incheon airport told me this evening that Pakistani gangs have joined South Korea's organised crime scene. Perhaps it was a tad tactless of me to then respond with 'I am really happy to be here.'

I spent Saturday in love with Ute Lemper. It's over now though.

'Oedipus Wrecks'

Oedipus rocks
when Oedipus wrecks,

Oedipal cocks
are mental wrecks.


'Stocktaking'

Bookstores for the Taiwanese;
dominated by self-help texts,
promising improvements in work and life,
yet stubbornly refusing to provide a solution
for those marital difficulties with
the beloved mainland Chinese.
