ahem...

So, he is sitting there eating a cheese ramen as he was suddenly back in Korea, he had drank so much he was lost, up and down unfamilar dark alleyways and ducking in and out of makeshift homes along the way. Lucky for him there was a turtle ditch in a back alley that appeared to offer some level of privacy and shelter from the cold and fortunately he just happened to have his custom made leather trench coat on for warmth. as he took another bite he remembered his time there with a woman who was quiet and quintessential to his every need, as they embraced for several hours it was as if they were the only two people in the world, they fell asleep. he awoke to her naked, cleaning herself with a washrag out of a small pot on the floor, she came to him and began to gently clean him up as well. The taste of the ramen reminded him of many times therein early on and of some heavy times later. He was thinking he should have died there in that ditch that fateful night or maybe again when he got off the bus in the wrong city. It was dark and dreary when he stepped off as the driver pulled away quickly, where were all the lights and the familiar sounds of the street bars and dance clubs. Then out of the darkness a lady appeared coming towards him, but she was different she wasn’t trying to pull him into a brothel down a dark alley but spoke broken English and offered him to help find his way, he should have died there to. Further into the countryside he went seeing how the locals really lived before finally ending up in a city of lights named Seoul. The women of the night there were much more brazen than those up north and were offering themselves to nearly everyone passing by, he remembered thinking they looked like some old city hookers complete with leather boots up to their naked bums. Poking through the bowl of noodles and dried vegtables tears were forming in his eyes. Thoughts began to race through his mind of things he had done and why, the question why just kept coming back unanswered. the memories begin to fade....
