Still in the states!


Hey all, it will still be a few days before I leave for Seoul, so you probably won't need to check back here for another week or so. Here's a brief summary of my journey: 20 days in Seoul with Sunga (Angel) Kim and her family, 20 days in Chaeju-do Island with Minhee (Sophia) Kim and her family, and then a weekend with Haemin Shim and her family back in Seoul.

I'll be flying out of JFK on Monday afternoon (thank you Alexa for the ride), and then I'll have a 14 hour flight to Tokyo, an hour and a half layover so I can buy some Hi-chew, and then a 2 and a half hour flight to Seoul, where I'll arrive at approximately 7:40 AM Eastern/ 8:40 PM Seoul. That will be a lot of jet lag. :-)

Before I depart, I'd like to list some goals for the next month and a half:

1. Become proficient in Korean, particularly in speaking (at least to the point of being able to hold a decent conversation)

2. Help Sunga's younger siblings and Sophia's cousins in learning English.

3. Learn how to make kimchee.

I hope you will continue reading, and please leave lots of questions/comments. You can also get in touch with me at tricia.klos@gmail.com or on Facebook of course.

안녕히 계세요!
