Oh my goodness, a year has almost passed by in the blink of an eye. I will be back in the states in less than 2 months and I can’t believe it! My life has changed so much in 12 months and it really affirms that adage, “You never know what will happen in life”. I’m planning on coming back in May so I am not bidding adieu to Korea.
I still think there are tons of things for me to explore and I’m not quite finished with this country. When I come back, I plan on posting more pics on here b/c I was ridiculously lazy in that arena last year. Even if I can’t write much about my life, I will at least put up some pictures of what I am seeing. Me and one of my friends are “Moving on up to the East Side” in the summer. Actually, it’s the south side of Seoul, aka ritzy side but I couldn’t help inserting in a reference to the Jeffersons.
This year I lived in a very traditional Korean neighborhood. It was cool and in regards to the culture, it was very educational but I would like to have more access to international things. So, I am now trying to land a job in the ritzy part of town. Wish me luck!
Right now, all I can think about is going home and seeing my family and friends. Everyone else’s life has changed a lot in the past year as well and I envision long talks over wine or coffee in the coming months. I am so excited to speak English too. Living here makes you forget you are actually literate in a language and that you have the ability to hold decent conversations. Hopefully, this year I will get off the lazy train with learning some of this language too. It’s a bit difficult so we shall see. So see everybody in 7 weeks!!!
