I rarely get bored here myself...I plan to be here/Japan until the end of time, and I'm glad I found two countries that I like enough to be able to settle down in at the young age of 23. Korea gets better every day, and my last 7-month stint in Canada was day after day of pure...not exactly boredom but restlessness and counting down the days until I could come back. I don't know about everybody else but in spite of the general bustle of Seoul I always feel completely relaxed here.

Korea in general bores me (shim-shim ha-da).

I have a Roland synthesizer/workstation on which I program funkdafied soul and RnB grooves and well as some housy jams and dubby downbeat tracks, thusly, I never get bored. I have the opposite problem. I just about died of fatigue last semester because after working a full day at the uni, I'd come home, hop straight on my funk box, and be up till 3 or 4 every night. And up at 8:30 to do it all over again. Having a hobby is a key I think. I just have to watch out for my health.

I haven't found Korea to be too boring at all. I get to do most of the same things I did when I was living in Canada as a student (no soccer league though... I really miss organized sports). The weekends are great, you can travel on the cheap, even if its just going in to Seoul to enjoy a Starbucks coffee (which I do almost every weekend).

The evenings are usually pretty dull. I'm used to having homework to occupy me as a student (I was a geek who liked to do homework). I bugged my family to send me some art supplies and I'm pretty sure they're in the mail as we speak. Having a lot of spare time like this is a great opportunity to rediscover old hobbies and find new ones. I study Korean sometimes, and I'm planning a trip next year when the stingy buggers let me take my holidays.

Anyone have some ideas for keeping sane and slogging through the one-year contract in one piece?
