Today is my last day of teaching in Korea. It's been quite a year with lots and lots of great memories. I've gotten to meet some amazing people who I will miss a ton. I don't want to make this some Miss Pageant farewell letter, but I hope those I've met here know how much I've enjoyed their company and insights. It definitely feels way WAY too soon to leave. I can't say much else as I'm a mix of emotions: sad, anxious, exhausted, excited, lonely, over-the-moon, butterflies...
So, now what?
Well, I'm moving out my apartment today to make way for my replacement. I also am cancelling every Korean service I have this afternoon. The logistics of moving don't really change from one culture to the next, do they? Tonight there is a joint going away party and then it's life in a backpack for the next 50+ days. Myself and a friend will be exploring Southeast Asia including Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia. We are ready for adventure and I will be sure to relay stories when I return.
In the meantime, I have scheduled blog posts to continue in my absence. You'll hear more about my time in Korea and I'll attempt to make up for my extended departure from the internet in August (sorry about that, vacation beckoned). Be sure to check out the new summer photos as well. When I get home I should have some time to edit my hours of video and share some more memories. Jet lag and all...
'Til then,
-Bets
