We started this journey within the same timeline, you are looking for expats who aren't dickheads, I follow and comment regularly on your blog, have suggested we get together, and have a totally open blog myself.<BR/><BR/>So, do you want to meet cool people or not?Tuttlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06492955225793619768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-59432559390495782102008-12-13T11:06:00.000+09:002008-12-13T11:06:00.000+09:00Steph -- Last night I had a dream I went somewhere...Steph -- <BR/><BR/>Last night I had a dream I went somewhere besides Paris and was really glad I chose there but now I can't remember where it was and it's pissing me off. I'm kind of afraid Paris would be a little boring. Maybe Spain would be better? Jesus. I need to make up my mind this weekend.... <BR/><BR/>I've got a few things for you already and will probably get more today (I'm not looking for anything specific because that's just a recipe for frustration here) but I don't have a fucking clue how to send a package yet. Yet another venture to be made there, then. <BR/><BR/>Kel --<BR/><BR/>I will definitely at least visit China at some point. Also, because the won is toilet paper at the moment, one of my Korean friends was suggesting working in Japan for a while, but I think by the time I'm ready to go elsewhere, the won should be better. I hope anyway. <BR/><BR/>And we should definitely have a drink when you get here. Maybe you'll have better luck making yourself "Yogiyo!" than we do. We're too shy....I'm no Picassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516337555349888808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-74983938988757356872008-12-13T07:58:00.000+09:002008-12-13T07:58:00.000+09:00China is amazing, I may go back in 2010 bc I miss ...China is amazing, I may go back in 2010 bc I miss it so much.

For once. I feel really ...I can go wherever I want. For once. I feel really guilty about the idea of spending that much money, since the won is doing so lousy. But if I think of it in terms of dollars (which would be the same as anything my savings would be going toward), it's really not bad at all. <BR/><BR/>Two months. I can't believe we've made it this far already. One sixth of the way done. Oh wow! How amazing! Etc etc English textbook phraseology. <BR/><BR/>Other expats who aren't dickheads. Tall order. But I have the email address of a girl who also works for Incheon MOE who seems pretty cool. Maybe I'll email her this weekend. <BR/><BR/>Also, my mothers decided they want to take me to see a movie. One stayed after to give me her phone number and email address so I can ask her anything if I need to. We were talking about genres and they asked if I had seen any movies here yet, and I explained that every new thing we do is a little nervous because we don't speak much Korean. They all got really sympathetic and protective and want to help me with everything now. I love them.I'm no Picassohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06516337555349888808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21444271.post-28936131150065772222008-12-12T17:11:00.000+09:002008-12-12T17:11:00.000+09:00Yeah I hear that for almost everyone the third/fou...Yeah I hear that for almost everyone the third/fourth month is a bitch. I've been preparing for it and trying to keep in mind that it's like that for everyone, it's just the infamous culture shock, and it will pass. <BR/><BR/>Good to hear the interview was a cinch. I didn't have to give one -- I have no idea why. But you're all set way ahead of time which will make for much less stress. Congrats! <BR/><BR/>How was China, by the way?

It does change everything. You should totally go to Paris!<BR/><BR/><BR/>PS I just had my visa interview today and it was the easiest 3 minutes of my life. I can pick up my passport tomorrow!Kelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07026028648969726274noreply@blogger.com
