Lost in Korea

***Blog Post from Blog I started before leaving Vancouver, yet due to various technological fuckery, could not figure out how to continue....


Around 5:30 tomorrow night I will be stepping off a plane, rubbing my eyes, struggling with ridiculously over packed baggage, and taking a good look around at what I've got myself into. "Don't go off with any strangers," I was warned by my employer over the telephone, though I have never met or seen a picture of the person who will meet me at the airport. I land in Incheon, and through ways unknown to me at this time I will end up at a place I just learned about today (thank you Wikipedia), called Yangyang County (Yangyang-gun), located in the Gangwondo Province of South Korea. It will be a year until I come back. I've never blogged before, but it seems like a good way to keep in touch since I am not sure how frequent my communication will be for the first while... I won't have a personal phone or computer for the first month, so if it seems that I have disappeared from the face of the Earth, don't worry... I am just in a rural, Northern, mountainous town on the complete opposite side of the world. Here is a link to the area I will be in:http://www.yangyang.gangwon.kr/htmlfunc/eng/index.htmlTake care, everyone. Email me your address, and I will send you a postcard!
