Winter in Korea

Things are happening so fast. Cancertron played (our first show since Sean came back) on Saturday night. It was nice to be back officially, but we have another two month break coming up due to everyone's travel/vacation arrangements. It was all in all a great night :)

I was really lucky to be able to have not one, but TWO amazing Thanksgiving dinners- it eased the pain of being away from home anyway. I was in good company of people- many who have never tried turkey before (!) and the others being people as psyched for it as I.

Winter is HERE, whether I like it or not. This is Jinju under a fresh blanket of snow- the first snow anyone can remember in something like ten years. Looking at the snow coming down made it feel so much like home, it was so exciting and beautiful. It made me SOOOO EXCITED to come home- nine more sleeps!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another goodbye down.... This time it was Erik (top left). It will never get easier. My heart breaks a little more every time. I guess that's the name of the game in Korea. I'm so lucky to be given the chance to form wonderful, meaningful bonds with these people, however short-lived. My friends in Korea are so so dear to me.

 

 

I crashed my scooter last night, it was really scary. It was out of my control- literally, a cable or something snapped and the gas took on a mind of its own, refusing to give up full throttle. I flew off at about 35 miles/hour and skidded along the road for a little bit. I made it all the way home- I crashed within 100 feet of my house- which is amazing. I am so thankful that I didn't hit anyone else, and moreover, that I was able to walk away from the accident with just a little bit skin missing from my butt/bruising. I am more upset about my torn jeans and presumably trashed bike :( But. It's not life. It's just stuff. More soon friends.
