Ahhhhhh.
I’m home. And relaxing. I’ve already spent several days doing basically as little as possible. And it’s so, so, so nice.
Over the next couple weeks, I’ll be hanging out with family and pets, making plans to do fun things like get together with friends, change my absentee ballot mailing address, go to the ballet, renew my driver’s license, get my hair cut, etc, etc. It’s kind of a nice list of things to do, believe it or not. I get to feel almost like a normal person for a couple of weeks, being able to call businesses or government agencies during business hours, actually go places in person, get paperwork done or receive packages in less than 4 weeks, explain what I want and expect to get it, and just basically act like a regular citizen again. It feels really, really good.

Bittersweet
Today was my last day of work in Seoul. I leave behind some fabulous colleagues, surely some of the best in the world. Many of them have become close personal friends, and I will be sad to part company with them. At the same time, I am going on to a whole new place, with new adventures, and best of all I get to do it together with the man I love. And what could be better than that?

Funk Seoul Brother
The three or four people who visit this blog regularly may have noticed that there’s been radio silence on my part for a while lately. It’s certainly not because there’s nothing to talk about, though – on the contrary, I’ve been busy. My brother came for a visit, and we had a great time. Got out of Seoul a little bit (not far, but out nonetheless), and spent some time seeing the sights in Seoul too.
I’m so, so glad he was able to come. It was great to spend some quality time with him, just the two of us, and to be able to share some of the things I most enjoy about Korea with someone I really care about.
(* I know, I know, the title is corny and bad, but it was meant to be that way – sometimes you’ve just got to try and throw people a little off-balance.)
