fookity fook fook, will i miss this place.

faults and all, it grows on you. i've had such an amazing time here.

newbies, when you show up jet lagged and wondering why the hell you're here...give it time.

4 weeks from now i'll be on a plane heading home, and it's freaking me out. i feel like i'm leaving home, to go "home."

and obviously drinking my sorrow away...sorry.

You just need to get to the clubs and shake your booty, girl. I've a couple of friends back home that could show you a real good time Wink

I love you princess- you're so cute.... I thought of you when I saw crocs for the first time when I went home a couple of weeks ago. I bet you broke down and bought some, now didn't you? ^~

I don't love the place. There are many things here that absolutely drive me crazy. But, in all honesty, there are some things that I do love about Korea. I love the countryside. It's beautiful, especially in the fall. I love my students and my job. Also, I don't have to look at obese people a hundred times a day, as I had to do during my time back home this summer. How can Westerners be so fat. It's disgusting. THank God I don't have to stare at it every day in KOrea.

Still plenty of things I hate, but Korea does have its redeeming factors.

Hey, you two who are leaving in 4 weeks and are already starting to miss Korea --
Don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out!

(yeah, I know it doesn't fit that situation. I just wanted to say it.)

Hmm...a casually dirty mouth, alcoholic tendencies, belying a tender and genuine nature.

You have just made number 1 on my sexiest dave's gals list. "Cunio" and "Princess" are not far behind. Laughing
