Dan Is Awesome » Korea http://www.danisawesome.com Dan Paulson's Blog WHAT NOW Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:14:16 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 I updated my blog http://www.danisawesome.com/2010/i-updated-my-blog/ http://www.danisawesome.com/2010/i-updated-my-blog/#comments Sun, 04 Jul 2010 15:14:16 +0000 dan http://www.danisawesome.com/?p=150 I kind of forgot about this thing.

I’ve updated the sidebar to be more cool-hip-like. I hope you like my tweets.

Things are wrapping up here in Korea. This weekend I watched the last World Cup game available to me at a decent time (unless I stay up for the 3:30am Final, which I probably will.) We visited Jin in Seoul for the last time, greeted by easily the clearest day since we’ve arrived. Seoul is really a great looking city when there isn’t haze hanging all about; kind of a shame that it’s normally like that. Jin, Vic and I ate at the famous Myung Dong Kalgooksu place, then moseyed around downtown Seoul until Jin had the idea to go to the Seoul Museum and see The Thinker. I didn’t bring my camera assuming a crap day, so that was slightly disappointing, but it was a good time regardless.

These next two weeks Vic and I will be having a number of going-away dinners, as well as a night at a pension in Yongju with our bosses and our best Middle School class. Somewhat of a 4th of July-esque environment should be expected, we’ll probably be playing with water guns and grilling hot dogs. Not a terrible way to end our time here.

A lot will be happening soon after getting back (Saturday, July 17th), but I’ll save that for some other time. I’m also going to to a re-cap of our year here, preferably when my pictures aren’t scattered across 5 different computers / usb drives. You should probably hold your breath now.

With the array of technologies that alert your friends, family, enemies and general public of your every slightest move, I feel like a blog is really just this huge pain to keep current. This is why I’ve added my twitter feed to the sidebar; I have never felt the need to talk to anyone for more than 140 characters at a time on the internet. Even then I don’t update very often, but at least with it there I can feel less badly when I visit my stupid old blog posts.

All that said, I suppose I should do an update. Victoria and I have secured a job in Korea, which starts July 14th or around there. The job is located in Janghowon, which is a suburb of Icheon (not to be confused with Incheon). The city does not even have a Wikipedia article yet, so I am pretty excited about being their Neil Armstrong in that arena. Before that, I will be in Toronto again starting April 15th. What we will do for 3 months is undetermined, but I can only assume it will have to be mad cheap.

I failed the One Picture Every Day thing. I might start again when I head back to Canada or to Korea. There’s no time like the second time to fail.
