Mysti Observations: Back to the USA
http://mystimartin.blogspot.com/2012/06/back-to-usa.html
Relating this, that, and everything inbetween! Back to the USA. I finally did it. I booked my flight back to the USA and when people ask if I am excited to be heading home there is a part of me that says yes but another part that wonders where the heck home is anymore. Does this concept actually exist or is it just a relic notion from childhood? Becomes increasingly difficult to answer in one word and I'm beginning to think I like it that way.

Relating this, that, and everything inbetween! Do You Know South Korea? Click the above link. This video was posted on one of my Facebook groups and I liked it so much that I decided to share. It shows just how beautiful S. Korea really is and is a much better video than what I can probably put together. This video also reminds me of what I need to do before I leave Korea in August! I hope you enjoy. Confused, baffled and amazed. How did 8 months go by so quickly? And on that note I'll leave you with som...

Mysti Observations: Cheongju: Buddha's Birthday
http://mystimartin.blogspot.com/2012/05/cheonju-buddhas-birthday.html
Relating this, that, and everything inbetween! Why just celebrate your birthday on one day when you can make the celebration last for about a month? I know, I know, I know! They eat dog here! As always traveling around Korea I continue to develop a love and respect for this country and it's people. I may not always agree or like what happens but they've captured my heart anyway. I've put together a quick slide show of the trip that I hope you will enjoy. Until next time. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Relating this, that, and everything inbetween! Back to the USA: 2 MONTHS! As my time here in Korea winds down and my time with friends grows short I wanted to reflect on some of the highlights of my time here. Orientation - where lots of friends were made and many Korean firsts were experienced such as drinking soju, hanging outside a mini-mart openly drinking, Korean fried chicken, Korean pork cutlets, and norebang. Kim visiting - Kim's visit came at just the right time. She brought a little bit of ...
