As of September, I'll be in the Czech Republic teaching English as a Fulbright Scholar. While I am grateful to the Fulbright Commission for granting me such a wonderful opportunity, I should note that this blog is not an official Fulbright Program blog.

quote of the day

From a certain point onwards, there is no longer any turning back.

That is the point that must be reached.

Last days in the ROK

Some of my (super adorable) second years spotted me cruising Insadong with the lovely Sara P.

This photo highlights several of the things am really going to miss about Korea.

#1: Randomly excellent afternoons like the one seen above.
#2: Insadong (+ all the other deeply adorable Seoul 'hoods)
#3: Elaborate poses for every photographic occassion.
#4: Hearing "Rachel Sonsangneem!" everywhere I go.
#5: My fabulous waygookin friends.
#6: My students

I'm sure I'll be adding to this list in the comming days. Seoul is a fabulous place to live, and Korea is a really unique country. There's a lot to miss. *^~^*  (wistful korean smiley?)

soundtrack to my life


I am on a lonely road and I am

traveling, traveling, traveling.

Looking for something, 

what can it be?
