I'm home!

I have made it back to the US safely! My return was not as crazy as my trip there. We got upgraded to Business Class from Seoul to Taipei! It was wonderful. I stayed up the entire flight so that when I landed in Portland at midnight on Wednesday I could sleep and adjust to this time zone. But it is already Saturday night/Sunday morning and I am unable to sleep! I am still not adjusted!

I have already started working at the Rapids and it is nice to be back. It is very weird to use my cell phone again. I never check it and I often miss texts or phone calls because I am so used to not using one.

It was not too hard adjusting to the culture here, just the food. I can't eat a very big meal and I usually don't eat after 10pm, but I am always hungry now late at night. Kinda annoying! On Thursday I cooked Korean pizza (vegetable pancake), black noodles and pot bing su for my family, they all loved it. I made them eat the entire meal with chopsticks too, it was very entertaining!

I am so happy to be back but sad that I will not see my friends in Korea for awhile! I already miss it very much. I feel soooo blessed to have had this opportunity to travel overseas to a country I never dreamed I would visit. It was truly an insightful experience I won't soon forget!
