It's my last day in Korea. It's my last day in Korea. I have to keep telling myself that as if it's going to magically sink in that in 10 hours I'll be on a plane heading away from the home I've had for two years. Nope, still not sinking in. I'm trying though!
Ok, so really. Yes, I'm leaving here today...I have a couple more errands to run before I catch my bus to the airport. I have been unemployed for two days now and homeless for five days (staying with a friend). My suitcases are packed and I'm hoping for an uneventful departure at the airport. Though, with the luck I have, it will be anything but uneventful. I remember last Christmas when I was going home and it turns out that my visa hadn't been renewed for me to come back into Korea, so I frantically ran to immigration to fix it so I could finish my contract after vacation! Nearly missed my flight, running through the airport, crying for God only knows what reason, but finally catching my flight to Japan and then home. You might be able to see why I'm hoping for nothing eventful today! I also have a bad history with security at airports. Apparently I look dangerous. I often get pulled out of the line for a more detailed security check or I happen to forget about the "dangerous" items I've packed in my carry-on and then have to plead with the security guy to let me keep my velveeta shells and cheese sauce in my backpack. These are the times when my absentmindedness does not help me at all!
I'm heading to the airport soon. I'm heading to the airport soon. Whatever, I don't believe it.
I'm catching an 8pm flight to Hong Kong where I will transfer to another flight to London. From London tomorrow morning I will hop over to Ireland on yet another flight. I'm staying there until November 12th. Then it's over to Chicago and then a couple days later I'll catch a train down to Effingham where a family member will be waiting for me hopefully. Otherwise I'll just hang out in Effingham with nothing to do and nowhere to go. Nah, they'll be there. Anyway, that's my plan for the next few weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to update on here while I'm in Ireland. I'm going to take tons of pictures and see people I haven't seen in a really long time. And if the accents in Ireland are like what my british friend Ed does, then I will be laughing alot the next three weeks. That's a good thing. I'll see you in Ireland!!
The pictures here are from my last night out in Hongdae...weird. But I got to see the friends left here and celebrate one last night. Of course, I got sick later and the whole night ended much earlier than we planned. We are such a bunch of pansies.
