This time, they said yes.Pet Peeves ran in the Oakland Pressevery Thursday for two years.It was an awful <strong>com</strong>ic strip, but Isuddenly found myself exchangingletters and hobnobbing with all ofmy favorite newspaper cartoonists,and living the good life with my cooltwenty-dollar a week paycheck.Life was good.
Eventually, the big protestsagainst the government calmeddown, but not before Iwas able join in on a sit-downprotest in the middle of thebusiest street in Seoul. I’m notquite sure what we wereprotesting, but it looked fun.(that was beforeI found out thatkind of thing canget you deported.)But it’s alright. About an hourlater I invited myself in to aparty that was being thrownat the presidents house.If this trip has taught me anything,It’s this. When you’re in a coup,play both sides. You never knowwho’s gonna <strong>com</strong>e out on top.
