noises

over the last week, I've learned that Koreans use different noises to refer to:


a dog barking: something that sounded like "womb womb"


a cat's call : "yeow"


a heartbeat: "chung, chung"


and Beethoven's "Fur Elise" is recognizable to most of the student population due to the fact that many Korean automobiles made before 10 years ago would play the song as that car reversed. If the song is played, the kids all make motions as if turning a steering wheel. Odd.


Their doorbell noise is not the "ding dong" we are used to, but I can't exactly describe what theirs is. More complex.


what i'm listening to:

Lenka - Gravity Rides Everything


what you should be listening to:

The Libertines - Don't Look Back Into The Sun



"all angels bring terror" - rilke


a glass of papaya juice
and back to work. My heart is in my
pocket.
