back in seoul

My brain is fuzzy. Yay jet lag. It's not too bad, though. ^^ Will keep this entry short so I don't sound too dippy. ~lol~

A quick summary:

I'm back in Seoul, mainly, to study Korean at Sogang University. I'll have to find part-time work teaching or tutoring. I hope to travel through a lot more of Korea, get to know more of Seoul, and hopefully have one or two trips to places in Asia as well.

Why study Korean? I think it's mainly so that I can learn more about Korean culture. The first trip here, I had a great expat experience. Now I want an adoptee experience. Focus more on language studies, learning more about the culture.

Am staying right now at KoRoot. It's awesome! Everyone has been very welcoming. ^^

Rod will be back sometime in early September. We'll be living in the southern part of Seoul, near Gangnam.

I am kind of homesick at the moment. It will take a little while to adjust. I miss you all.

Here are some photos of the summer.

love,
