Details to come...USA, I miss you 아싸! ^^ 미국을 보고 싶어요

I think my flight leaves on Thurs, Aug. 3rd, but I'll confirm tonight. Monday was spent picking up the new teacher and moving him into his new apartment. Wednesday was my last day of work. Can't wait to see Chicago, St. Louis, Springfield, and everybody!!!

Shamed ㅠㅠ

Alright, I admit I've never bought the "official" trash bags this whole year, but my neighborhood is such a dump that I've felt no incentive, always putting my stuff outside neatly in a grocery bag. I finally got called on it with this note in cursive (!), I assume from my landlord.

EDIT: I simply had too much trash when I was moving out, so, feeling charitable, I ended my one-man protest and bought regulation garbage bags...I expect the Seokgye counsel elders to vote me "Best Foreigner" in absentia.

Trip to Nami Island 남이섬에 여행했어요

A few weeks ago we traveled 40 miles north of Seoul to a tiny island called Nami. The popular Korean drama "Winter Sonata" was filmed there. My date was a cardboard cut-out of actress Choi Ji-woo (ok, not really).

So, so sad...

...that I missed this "car show":



Special thanks to Max Watson.

Singing Room 노래방

Similar to karaoke. Only drawback is the lack of musical instruments in the room, besides tamborine ㅠㅠ

Happy 4th!

In honor of North Korea's recent fireworks display, a few miscellaneous celebratory pictures.
