Day 1: Korea
The phrase "Out of the Frying Pan and into the Fire" ring any bells? It doesn't quiet describe my situation for the first day but it feels like it should. In all the countries I've gone to I never experienced so sharp and dramatic of a culture shock before. It was usually a gradual build-up that took months, but not in Korea. There is no time ( Read more... ) -

Deja Vu
So I got sick... yet again. That means I've taken off from work for three different times in the span of four weeks. I was looking at my journal and I noticed the same thing happened last year.

The day started out so-so. I drove to my parents' house in Georgetown on Thursday and arrived there about 11pm after hanging out with Satomi who taught me some of the Soran Bushi dance.

22nd-26th of Winter Trip
Finally I’m getting around to filling in the last of my journal entries for winter trip. This week has so far been pretty good. I’m still getting used to the idea of I really don’t have some obligation (like studying) to do anymore.

19th-20th Philadelphia Arrival!
19th-
I got up at 6:50 and ate curry breakfast before packing up. Our mutual friend dropped us off at Franconia Springfield Metro Station. We went to the House Where Lincoln Died and I had sushi in a Food Court before we boarded the Chinatown Bus to Philadelphia.
On the way there they played an awful B-flick horror named Caw. It's about Ravens ( Read more... )
