I left home ten weeks ago not fully knowing what to expect here. Knowing that I knew nothing was actually something. I have embraced this culture and my way of life. I majored in education thinking I could never live a life without the burden of wondering how I would pay for things. Here I shop, eat, and enjoy life without a care in the world as far as money is concerned.
Korea holds their ESL teachers in high regard therefore, I get to see all that this country has to offer me. The sacrifice is the loneliness and emptiness you feel when wish you could take a quick drive to see your mom on Sunday or have a beer and play darts with the guys. I am learning about myself but for god's sakes its really hitting me. I had a friggin nightmare last night that I was in a foreign country and couldn't come back. I know these feelings are normal by talking to other foreigners but I just wanted to throw some thoughts on here to let you people know that I'm missing you all terribly but I am enjoying my time and wouldn't trade it for anything.
When I return someday, I'll be a new man with enlightenment at my side and memories of foreign places that I will carry with me forever.
I'm going to quit following your blog if you don't start writing soon! :)
