On the road again...

As most of you know I will be in the air in about a week. I'm sure most of you have also heard about the Northwest Airlines flight to Detroit that had a failed attempt of a bombing. I have been reading these stories, and all the extra measures they are putting in place. I am worried. Much to my dislike, I have to fly through the USA, on an NWA flight, to get home. I really dislike this route even when everything is nice in the world. I only have an hour and fifteen to get off the plane from Tokyo, pick up bags, and go through customs and security and whatever else they may ask... I hope the cards are in my favor:)

FREEBIRD

Jinny, Scarlett, Rachel, Ruby and Me
I am so FINISHED!! I am thrilled to finally have a vacation. It will be nice to really have no plans. I am looking forward to Christmas. I hope that I can make some of my favorite things, and have a really nice time with Mark and friends.
My coworkers are the best! I don't think I could have made it without them. They are so kind and funny and sweet. I am glad I have friends like these for my time in Korea. See you later girls. I'll miss you

Full Circle

ONLY 10 WORKING DAYS LEFT!!! ASHA (thats korean for I have, and very excited). I am so over this contract. This year has had its ups and downs, but for the most part it was positive. I love most of my kids, and my fellow teachers are brilliant. I am really going to miss those girls. Thankfully I will still be able to see them after the curtain falls.
I really like Korea. It has a beautiful landscape and most of the people are friendly and kind. I don't particularly like the foreigner culture because it is often saturated with alcohol, which when consumed in these vast quantities the outcome is never good. I am so lucky to have Mark, otherwise I may have caved a long time ago. I see other people struggle with loneliness, and it doesn't look like much fun.
I'm a little nervous but mostly excited to come home. It is going to be great.
See you in 33...
