Welcome back Bonz, but I do not find it strange that your presence being requested in the Orgy thread and then you showing up, like it was the quacking Bonzai Bat Signal.
got my flight schedule for Seoul today. May 17th, one way.
I love how I keep posting in Troo Music Lounge regarding the schedule release, potential conflicts, superjam lineup etc. as if I was actually still going to Bonnaroo this year. When I lurk and post on inforoo, it makes me wish I took the job in Incheon that started on June 30th so that I could still have gone to roo. Guess I'm in denial.
My only goal now is to get Stanky McNasty before I leave.

I was just out there in November. Seoul is a cool city. Have you spent much time there before? Do you know anyone?

^ I have a friend in Bundang. She is actually working with the same company that employed me, just at a different location. Bundang is like a newly developed suburb of Seoul about 30 minute drive from downtown Seoul I think, which has just recently taken off in development and growth. I am going to be in Seoungbuk, right in the middle of downtown Seoul.
And no I've never been there before. I've never traveled abroad. The reason I chose to teach English in Korea over other countries is because 1) the demand for teachers is very high, so I knew I'd find a job quickly, and b) they pay teachers well there, with most schools paying for rent, and airfare. Korea is the place to teach if your main objective is to save money. My first choices were Thailand and Japan, but with Thailand -while the cost of living is cheap, they don't really pay teachers that well. Plus I heard transportation can be difficult when you aren't in the metropolitan areas. Japan has a very high cost of living (Tokyo is the most expensive city in the world) and the job market for teachers is VERY competitive out there.
My plan is to stay in Korea for 2 or 3 years. Maybe a year in Seoul and a year in Busan. When I have the two years of experience and money saved up, I want to try teaching in other parts of the world, like South America, Europe, and possibly the middle East.

You are going to have a blast. I hope you like adventurous food though bc it's not like the states. And be prepared for the cold in the winter. It's like living in Illinois. I would totally go back and I'd live there for a few years. Get out to the mountains for some hiking. The countryside is beautiful. PM me if you want me to introduce you to my cousin. He lives in Seoul.
^ yeah I'm really excited about the hiking, I heard its quite the outdoorsman's playground in Korea. And thanks for the heads-up about the cold weather. I am born and raised in Georgia and South Carolina. Actual cold weather is foreign to me.
I love my new boss. She basically just told me that as long as things keep running smooth she wants to give me complete free range. A nice change after a year of non-stop meddling.

Today, the second person this year I have met in business told me that I wasn't from the South and seemed legitimately surprised when I said I have always lived here.

I'm not sure where to say this, but I just stumbled from my room to my bathroom in the dark. While I was peeing in almost complete darkness I opened my eyes to see a cockroach staring back at me. I was mid-stream, so of course I couldn't just stop. We just stayed there, him, locked in a death gaze, and me, absolutely terrified, until I was done. The second I made a move for my shampoo bottle to crush him, he flew off and crawled under the tub. Earlier today while I was eating dinner a cockroach crawled out of one vent on the ceiling to another 7 feet away. I'm now convinced my apartment is haunted by a demon.
