July 19 Latest NewsThe year is at its half way point and as is usual around this time of year... there have been some changes. But none too drastic...
1 - I have moved. But I still live in Seoul so this blog is still relevant, albeit not very current. (sorry) My new apartment is absolutely fabulous!
2 - I've recorded a CD... okay, it's not my R&B solo and it won't go platinum but it's definately me signing and I can cross it off my list of things to accomplish before I die.
3 - I went to Vietnam in February... so what if we had our purses, wallets and cameras stolen on the beach at 4am. What the hell were we doing on the beach at the time, right? Yeah... well... we had a GREAT time!
4 - Am dating! (Ok... this may not be a real change... but they change so damn often...)
5 - OH! Got married to my lovely friend Irene. I'm the husband. She and I go everywhere together and we have a great relationship. Plus we get to date other people - it's the perfect relationship, really! We always have a date and someone to talk to!
6 - Have lost 10kg (about 22pds!) - aiming for another 5kg
7 - Walked the catwalk for the Hanbok show... where I designed my own hanbok reflecting my cultural diversity!
8 - Making plans to meet my family in the Mexican Riviera for Christmas!!
And the things that have stayed the same...
1 - Me! I'm still crazy!
2 - My job. I'm still working for Kia Motors here in Seoul. And am completely loving it still.
3 - My family is all in good health and missing me like crazy (and I them!)
4 - Am still partying it up and making new friends, keeping busy with various events/activities
Korea is still good and fun. I've discovered that the longer I live here, the less I seem to understand. But the people are so wonderful that I just can't bring myself to leave them. Opportunities abound here and I count my blessings everyday for the mundane experiences that are so different from those that I would be having if I lived in the familiar. This includes trying to decipher what the canned foods are in the grocery store... or... why people do certain things when the culture dictates that they shouldn't. Very interesting culture that I am still trying to decode - with so many levels, progressions and influences, it is nearly impossible to truly understand why things are the way they are. Sometimes you just have to accept that they just 'are.'
With that thought... I am going to go get ready for a dinner meeting I have tonight with the Chamber of Commerce. It's out for drinks after with friends - always fun!
So that's the latest update... I primarily use Facebook to keep people abreast of my whereabouts so I have neglected this blog. Sorry. Hopefully this catches you up, though...
