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

The morning after

Pain, such sweet pain. Who ever said "no pain no gain" was BS? I know exactly what muscles I have used.

My deal is I am not having any babies till I am in good shape. There are too many things to worry about so I will at least start on the right foot. Fortunately I don't think I am that far from being in good shape (don't laugh too loud now)- though I am a little farther in the baby department. And who knows what work they will put me up to in Nepal, so I better be in decent shape. But oh sweet pain. I went to the Yoga class this morning, only to find out the instructors wife doesnt know Tuesday from Wednseday. So I will try again next week.

Also I have no water. I cant shower and with the heat as it is, this will be a bad situation. They are cleaning the tanks in the building and the water will be off from 7 to 7 tonight. Of course the signs in the building are all in Korean, but my friend who lives in the building next to mine always calls me and tells me these things.

When I first arrived, they cut off my cold water because the girl before me hadnt paid the maintenance bill. I had to shower using scalding hot water. If anyone thinks cold showers are bad, try a boiling one. Still, I would take that over no shower today. Good thing you are so far away.

More later...

Well then weakness was leaving my body all day today! From every joint and muscle as a matter of fact. And tomorrow I am going back for more :)

I am not such a well versed techno geek, and as soon as I figure out how to link to your site and blog, I will do so "Sir". Is that satisfactory?? What was it you used to call me? Cheeky? It was one of your 1950s terms you like to use. Have we been together so long that we are saying things like "You used to call me...". NO! My memory is just that bad! SASSY That's it! Its coming back- the sassiness........
