I FINALLY HAVE INTERNET CONNECTION IN MY HOME!! OMG ~ email, Google, PC television!! I don’t care what it is, as long as it is in English. I can watch global television news (!!!!) for the first time in weeks, live US television ( Letterman! Jon Stewart! ), International channels ( Al-Zawraa!! Bundesliga!! ), and listen to hometown radio ( FM107.1) ~ AND, of course, I can blog in the privacy […]

Nancy wrote a new blog post: I threw up in my mouth a little bit 15 years, 10 months ago · View
Woke up this morning, put on my slippers, turned on the tv … I don’t have a tv in my apartment. It just doesn’t make sense, because there are no television programs in English ~ not even news networks (no BBC, no CNN, nada). You might be able to catch one show in English every twenty four hours […]

Today was the first day of school. No one told me that I was expected to address the students at Opening Ceremony! I managed to squeak out a few sentences in Korean, a few sentences in English, and then to wave like a parade queen to the gathering of about 800 adolescent boys. Not a brilliant performance, […]

Today we went on a field trip to the Korean Folk Village in Yong-in City. The Village is about 250 acres of traditional houses from different regions, various artisans (potters, weavers, blacksmiths, etc) and a market/bazaar. We spent all day walking around and watching performances of music and dance, acrobatics, and equestrian feats. Quite something. […]

It is a beautiful day ~ the sun is shining, there are about 2 inches of fresh snow, and the temp is a crisp 32 degrees F. First thing on the agenda this morning was the medical exam (routine physical + xrays). Not the most delightful way to begin the first day, but no big […]

Nancy wrote a new blog post: 27 degrees and snowing 15 years, 11 months ago · View
When I left Minnesota, it was around 30 degrees and snowing. When we arrived in Incheon, it was 27 degrees and snowing. Didn’t I mention that the weather is very similar? It’s like I never left home … well, not quite. Any 12.5 hour flight is long – the flight from San Francisco to Incheon was REALLY […]

Hello everyone!! I’m leaving for South Korea on February 18, 2009.
I want to thank all the people who have encouraged me to write another blog ~ I appreciate your interest in living vicariously through me as I meander around the world.What I see is what I write. I acknowledge that some readers may find some commentary excruciatingly boring when there [...]
