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

YAY

Chris is coming home Friday.  YAY!!!!
 
The last couple of weeks have been less than pleasant.  I didnt have my usual weekend visit from Chris to look forward to, the weather was (and still is) unbelievably hot and clammy, and it seems the neighbors conspired to make my life hell!  Not a day went by where someone didnt get in my face about Oscar and why do  I keep a dog in the apartment etc.  All in Korean and all in the most aggressive tone.  One of two doormen is still a sourpuss, and really I can think of a few more colourful adjectives for him, but I am too polite.
 
Today, however Oscar and I had three great walks without any interruptions (knock on wood).  Maybe the heat was making everyone irritable.  It was me!
 
I havent even been able to go to Yoga and TaeKwon-do because the gym is not air-conditioned and the last time I was there, it didnt smell so great in there and I got seriously light-headed.  I need to go back to the pool.
 
So with all the stress, I needed to put a fresh perspective on life, and that involved getting completely destroyed on Friday night.  The foreign bar "Soul Train" was celebrating its one year anniversary and for 20 dollars it was open bar.  I am told I had 6 Long Island Iced teas and a Baileys.  I only remember counting 4, but then, I also remember losing my cookies three times
:(  Havent done that since that since I lived on Gloucester!
 
Now I feel more like myself!  This week has actually been pretty good.
 
As Allison put it, all I need now is some snow and things will be perfect.  I never thought I would wish for snow.  What's next?
