The New Wheels
Although I still ride my bicycle nearly everyday the weather is nice, I wanted something else for those times when I want to just get there. Tonight is a good example. It’s St. Patrick’s Day and a number of the expats here will drink a green beer or two. Previously, I would either have to wait for MyeongHee to come home first so I can take the car, or I’d have to take a taxi.
Scooters are very popular here and no one looks silly riding one. In the US, we made fun of people on little scooters, or “mopeds” as we called them. But then, we also made fun of the middle-aged men riding Harleys who tried oh-so-hard to look like mean bikers boys in leather chaps and vests only to get up on Monday morning and wear the suit and tie to work.
And a close up for those wondering if that fuzz on my face is dirt. I keep telling my students it’s blond hair in my beard, but they don’t buy it any more than my daughters did years ago.

cool putt!
TeeHee…if I didn’t buy the blonde no body will. This is coming from the person who was tricked for years by her father, who shall remain nameless…
By the way, where’s your scooter helment? Safety first Daddy-io. Opps, so much for remaining nameless.
i wear a helmut – they’re required here. But they don’t make for nice pictures
