Update- New Intern

Next week, I will be launching a new website with detailed essays about my time here in Seoul. My purpose for doing this is to have somewhere to write long entries about my trip, and to get back to using the blog for a quick and easy daily update that I can write when I get a free 10 minutes at work. So here is my first quick daily update.

We got a new intern on our team at work yesterday. Her name is Minjae and she just finished getting her Masters degree in World Trade Policy at one of the local Korean Universities. It’s nice to have Minjae here, she lived in Seattle for a while and speaks great English.

On a sadder note, Tyler flew back to the States on Saturday morning. It was a fun three weeks with him here, and I look forward to reminiscing about our adventures together on the website. I would have to say that the highlight of our time was getting to go to the Boryeong Mud Festival, an experience not quite like anything I have ever done before.

It’s strange to think that I have already been in Korea for two months now, and even stranger to think that I still have four more to go. I think that six months will be a perfect amount of time to have a true cultural experience, without going too crazy from being away from home.
