New Bloggie.
Hi everybody. I finally made the switch... I will still probably post in my LJ a bit, but it will most certainly be friends only, and probably more dorky emo stuff than actual travel writing.
SO.
For my South Korean Adventures... check out:

ENJOY! (And friend me on blogspot, if you have that.)

Well--still no ticket, but I do have my visa number!
And in about 40 minutes, the consulate will open, and I can call them about getting my interview! And then I can book my ticket, and then I can start planning things next week, like seeing people and saying bye. Getting this squared away will probably take care of one of the more stressful things that I've had to do this week, so... then it will ( Read more... ) -
I was hoping that I'd have a ticket by now.
Maybe tonight. I don't know. I think you need the visa number before you can confirm the ticket, and in that case I'll have to wait a little longer. ... How did it get to be Thursday already ( Read more... ) -
To Wordpress, or not to Wordpress? Now that is the question!
So I've been contemplating, once more, getting a different blog for my "public" entries about Korea. I think I might actually go ahead and do it this time. I love my lj, but I think I might want to keep it for more personal observances this time. Keep most of my posts friends only. Mostly I've been doing that recently anyway, because I have some ( Read more... ) -
It's official!
My documents are in the mail! That means that my life is in speedy motion towards a Korean apartment lifestyle. Woop!! My lovely little documents are traveling, traveling, traveling to the school when I will be working, and then I will have my visa confirmation number, which will get me the visa so that I can go into the country and get my ( Read more... ) -
I have a lead on a job!
It's not 100% official yet, but I have said "Yes" to a school in Daejeon, South Korea!
Daejeon is a mid sized city in the center of Korea, about halfway between Seoul and Busan. In fact, my guidebook informs me that the Korean government has been trying to relocate the government offices, and thus, the capital of Korea, to the Daejeon area. I am ( Read more... ) -
You know you are destined to be a world traveler when...
You decide that your "last meal" in your home country isn't going to be good old, home-style cooking, but rather a type of Foreign food (East African, in my case) that you know you won't be able to get in your destination country (Korea.)
My Korean job search has finally started to look up! I am working with TeachESLKorea,so far the recruiter who ( Read more... ) -
Lovin the women's center, of course.
Had a conversation with two of the ladies about adoption, and how they would never do it. They said that it would cause too much emotional trouble for the parents and the child. I love hearing perspectives on things ( Read more... ) -
This is me being bad at LJ.
Had a couple interviews today, and one more to go. I feel interviewed out. Mostly I feel dumb for screwing up which interview was given to me in Eastern Time. It wasn't smart to schedule three interviews on one day anyhow, but three different people said "When can you interview?" and I said "Monday Tuesday or Wednesday", when they were all empty, ( Read more... ) -
Learning Korean for Free... So far.
Most of what I've been up to this past few weeks, instead of posting in this here live journal, is studying Korean on free "learn Korean" websites. I wasn't able to do this with Twi before I left for Ghana, and truthfully even if I had been able to, I probably wouldn't have made the effort. This time, though, I have access to a wealth of knowledge ( Read more... )
