October 24, 2005 was just yesterday. In the last three months I have:
* had kimchi, kimbob, bebimbop, and some other strange food
* taught four adult classes in conversational English
* learned my way around one of the largest cities in the world
* found out why one of my closest friends in the world is no longer living with her husband
* spoken to the same friend on the telephone...
* been reconciled to a friend I haven't heard from in over three years
* celebrated three American holidays, and am preparing to celebrate my first local national holiday - Chinese New Year is coming this weekend
* set a new record for having a cold - six weeks and still counting
* shopped Itaewon
* walked Insa-Dong
* haunted Jonggak most weekends
* read Korean poetry (English translations)
* visited an Asian palace (as spectacular as you see them in the movies)
* walked and photographed the streets of Seoul
* walked Cheogyecheon
* gotten lost on the metro (once)
* had a number of dreams come to pass
* photographed the Han River
I could go on, but it's late. I need to get up early, I have papers grade and attendance records to process before midterm.
This has been the fastest three months I have ever experienced.
Somewhere out in America, it's starting to rain
Could you tell me the things you remember about me
And have you seen me lately?

Some amazing photos here, Jim. From what I have seen, it seems there are a lot of twin towers around the world.
I have eaten a few of the foods you have mentioned, John and I really like oriental food and, I remember that the three of us ate at an Oriental restaurant so I imagine you are finding food to enjoy.
I understand about needing to get away from words etc. When you life your work sometimes you just need some earphones leading to some good classical music.
Take care of you. A year will be gone in no time. My daughter and grand daughter are home as of this morning in Virginia. They have been living in Spain for the past 3 years. Now they get to re-acclimate to the states. I'm glad they are home safe.
Have a super week,
Zinc! You need zinc. Cold-eze zinc lozenges, some kind of zinc ointment to slather in your nostrils. And anti-biotic ointment, neosporin or something like that, shove some of that up you nose, too. Like on a q-tip. Shove it all the way in, but make sure the cotton is securely attached, and keep a tweezer handy in case you lose your grip. I lost one once, and had to fish it out.
This stuff really helps a cold, though.
Wow, I wish I was productive as you are in 3 months! Damn!
I hope you have fun on Chinese New Year...it's usually a pretty big thing, I've been told.
Take care of yourself and your cold!
looks awful cold there >_< bundle up!
Love that water pic.
