I have taken the plunge and come to Asia to teach English, take a break from Photography and test my boundaries in many aspects. I have been here since October 2003, and my contract ends in 19 weeks. Here are my experiences for my last weeks in Korea

Aghhhhhhh Korea!!!!!

Well, after a week of hell at my school and feeling rather down in the dumps, I sent a "cry for help" email to all my friends and family to see who'd say what? And by far the best response came from Teresa, who reminded me of Yoga philosophy that boils down to "enjoy the here and now". I sat back thinking about my hippie friend and her cool outlook on life and realized that Korea was the same it ever was (as I had known it anyway) but it was MY outlook that has changed. I still loved my kids, and they were still the same kids, so I turned myself around, and I am having a much better week. Thanks babe!

We are heading to Seoul this weekend. I will continue my quest for a nose piercing. I have 19 weeks left to go folks, and I really dont know where I am going next. Yippie!

I know I am going to Nepal for my volunteer humanitarian gig for two or three months, but after that, it depends where Chris ends up I think.

Well, this is rather short for a first posting but there you have it. Feel free to respond.

I thought my friend Katrin didn't find my replies to her emails interesting and wondered why she never personally responded to them. Now I know she's just to busy to respond to all of her emails and in good time will recognize what you say. I love her and her emails make me laugh and sometimes cry. A passionate human being, her writing should be commended and hopefully published one day!!

Dear anonymous. Why remain anonymous?? I am curious to find out who wrote this though I have a pretty good idea who it might be. I have been told that these should be published, but I really dont have that much confidence in my writing. Maybe it was Mr. Gibson who ruined it for me in High School, by always giving me low grades. DAMN YOU MAN!
So really any comments about my writing will be appreciated, as will constructive criticism. And anonymous, if you are who you think you are- you rock baby!
