It's been a good run, you've taught me a lot about Korean life, especially kimchi and sleeping on the metro. This is my farewell.
I have lost 8 pounds in your country. Slept on your floors, ate your bulgogi, hiked your mountains, bewildered your citizens, taught your children, sang in your nori bangs, watched your melodramatic tv shows, drank your soju and I loved every minute of it... or every other minute.
Truly an interesting and complex culture. I always felt safe and was constantly astonished at the integrity and honesty of the people...exmp: you can leave your bags pretty much unattended, cab drivers will never pocket an extra penny, students will freak out if you accidentally check a answer correct when it's wrong... and countless other examples. A great start to this year long dream.
