When I thought about starting a blog I figured that since I'm full of hot air and have an opinion on everything (especially the stuff I know nothing about) it should be easy. I overlooked my ingrained laziness and, given the specific theme of this blog, my aversion to photography.
This particular post is a bit of blogwhoring. While reading Liminality I came upon the diagnosis of one of my issues. According to the BigHominid, I'm a victim of GOMAS: Get Out of My Adventure Syndrome. It explains why I have to suppress a scowl when I run into a fellow non-Korean on the street and why I hate Itaewon. As I often say to my Korean friends when they ask why I don't frequent that area, "If I wanted to see people who look like me, I'd go home."
As it happens, I am going home. It appear that the blog that started with the lofty goal of ~60 posts will end this project with less than ten. I leave with one of the main questions that brought me here unanswered and with a lot of trips untaken and sights unseen. Barring death or divine intervention I find it inconceivable that I won't be back. (Welcome to the Hotel California) I'm not sure what I'll do, Korea is a goldmine for those interested in EFL and a dry well otherwise, but I've got a few years of school to figure it out.
