Evan TS#3

I met with Yong at the Starbucks on Tennessee. He had just come back from the Tallahassee museum. He went ziplining and saw wild turkeys, deer, and bears. I told him about my experiences ziplining in Vermont and Switzerland. He told me he had also been to Switzerland where he went to the top of one of the tallest mountains and felt altitude sickness. At some point the conversation turned to horror movies, of which we both have an interest in. I told him about The Shining and it's history involving the conflicting artistic ideas of Stanley Kubrick and Stephen King. He said he watched It, but didn't know that the movie was based off Stephen King's book. Yong then asked my what I thought about the differences between Asian ghosts and Western ghosts. We discussed their historical significance and came to the conclusion that the Japanese-style ghost was the most frightening. I taught Yong the word "sleep paralysis" when he told me story about being frozen in his bed and seeing a ghost when he served for the Korean army.
