I'm sitting in a hotel room in Orlando, Florida watching CSI Miami and both looking forward to and dreading my first day back on board a ship tomorrow. Although it means that I get to do my fun job and get to see lots of different people and places, it also means that I won't get a day off for the next six months. Ah well, I'll be heading to St. ( Read more... )

Life is very strange for me right now. I bailed on Korea for many reasons, one of which is that I don't like teaching, but there are many other reasons as well.

Alright, we're not moving far...next door actually. We are currently living in apartment number 503 and we have to move to apartment number 502. Yes, it's incredibly stupid. The whole thing smells of elderberries. I can't believe it's snowing! I'm in South Korea for ****'s sake! Well, it has been cold enough for snow, and in a couple of months I ( Read more... )

so I'm out on a "date"...not quite sure if it was a "date-date" or just a date, or what but it was me and a British guy I met last week. We went to a concert in a church in Seoul, his friend is in a band and was singing. It was really cool. Than we came back to Ilsan and went for a few drinks. His friend Sue-a joined us...yes, I know, not really a ( Read more... )
