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

slowly coming around

When in a strange land, it is very important to find things that make you feel homey. For me, being able to cook food that I cook at home is extremely important and so having the right groceries becomes a misssion.

Shahen always used to get angry with me at the supermarkets because I would buy way too much, but now I think it is due to the thrill of having everything I need at my fingertips. Here, you have to visit three of four supermarkets, not to mention another city to get what you want.

Hence, a trip to Costco is planned fot late November/ early December.

Yesterday, I found a few things that made me smile, and I got a bargain which was even better. In my fridge there is now Cheddar cheese, Hamburger patty (yes just bought one as it was a new concoction at E-mart and I have to do a taste test, hamburger buns (6 for 80 cents! Gotta love that- but they are truly McDonalds style- completely devoid of any nutritional value- still had to have em!) Head lettuce, Cabbage, and hoison sauce!

This weekend Kim and I are going to Seoul again like the good old days, and though I am sportin a cold (like the good old days) I am still going. Just need to dress warm and take the strange pills the pharmacist lady gave me.

OK, Off to class.

Oh, someone called me at 3 or 4 am. Pick the high numbers folks...7 and higher!
