hello, it's been a while since i have posted on either this blog or our travel blog: annyong haseyo, so i thought i'd quickly post an update.

we've just got back from our month-long excursion in china, and i will say i didn't want to leave. despite the limited access to the internet, the real world of china is so enticing as to cause me strong desire to return the next chance i get. expect some more pics to go up over the next couple of days, though many are already viewable on our pics site here. i'll also try to upload some pics to facebook, but there are many, so that may take a little while.

we're in taebaek now, taking in the last week before we go as easy as possible, despite the constant headache of bureaucratic nonsense from the school finance department, i got $500 more than i expected, and kat owes $700...this doesn't make any sense, but things rarely do in the accounting department.

more headaches to go home to, hearing that SCN is being shut down is infuriating. this almost certainly will mean i will have to leave the province for work, and i plan on thanking dustin duncan myself when i return home.

beyond that, i am ready to come home. i have been traveling so much that i can never really feel comfortable and relaxed anywhere. this is causing a great lethargy, and i'm ready to really come home and rest. i look forward to hamburgers, perogies, jamming, understanding the language, concerts, movies, making movies, camping, canoeing, campfires, playstation and so on.

i expect the first few weeks will be not too intense, but i will have to find work soon, a place to live, a mode of transportation and so on, so there will still be some things to keep me busy, but i hope i can start working on some creative projects, something i have been starved for for a year.

all in all,
see you soon, or in some cases, see you again.
