Well, It's over. The last two weeks were kinda a blur. Saying goodbye over and over again to friends and co-workers. And packing up and getting rid of all of the crap i had acquired. I didn't realize all the stuff i had gotten until it was time to go. Mainly just little things like dishes and clothes. I had to clean out my entire apt, which isn't really big at all, thank God, but it was enough stuff to fill a number of huge trash bags.
I am sad to go, I don't think i ever realized how invested i actually was over there. Life starts to move forward and all of sudden you have your friends, church, your job and you're comfortable. It was a great year, and i would do it all over again if i had to. I would love to live abroad again, but not really in Korea, kinda been there and done that. I don't really want to teach English again either. I rather teach art abroad, mostly to kids who would never get the opportunity to.
Now that it's over i find myself wanting to respond in Korean, mostly, "yes" and "thank you" and directions. I also want to pay with two hands. Or giving anything to anyone you give it to them with two hands. I also find myself wanting to have mini conversations with people, just because i can. Its nice to be able to have small chit chat. I also have found that things that were funny in Korea aren't really funny here, because people have no idea about the context.
"Pinshed" with one adventure and now off to another. Who knows what will come around this time. :)
