new hobbies

So, as I've previously mentioned, I'm considering the whole neo-cool-awesome trend of photography.

There are actually some very quality photo moments here in Korea. There is a river that splits the city right down the middle and there are numerous bridges here that gives you some interesting angles and perspectives.

Another thing I'm considering, is a martial art. I've been doing some research on it. Taekwondo seems like the obvious route, as I am in Korea. However, Taekwondo relies more on the foot than the fist, as the foot allows you to have more space between you and your opponent.

Honestly, I'm just not much of a kicker. I like using my hands more.

Which leaves me with several options. Wing Chun is something I haven't heard of but seems great for what i'm looking for. However the nearest place in Korea is a little over an hour away by subway. There is a place in Beaver County, but...yea.

Muay Thai seems like an obvious choice, but that style seems more...chaotic, and less centered on any sort of philisophical principle other than kill your foe as fast as possible.

So in the end I'll probably just take Taekwondo at the university.

The search will continue...
