Yeah. I neglected to mention here that I've been accepted for a position teaching English in the public school system in Busan, South Korea.
I probably should have done so.
They pay for my airfare, housing, a month's paid vaction, paid sick leave, holidays, and 1.8 million SKW per month. Yay, I'm going to be a millionaire! (1.8 million SKW translates to a grand....$1200, but still.) It's exciting, and everyone has been so supportive-- work, family, friends. They all think it'll be a great experience. I even know some people who have worked/know people who worked/currently work in Korea. I know almost nothing of the language, but at least I can recognize the Korean alphabet. It's a start.
God, I'm going to be halfway around the world. It's a different day there now. I don't even know what they drink. I don't really know what their culture is like. I don't know very much about the weather. I don't play StarCraft.
I just hope I like the people. One thing I've found, traveling, people are the same everywhere you go. They just call things by different names.
