Korea has been a blast. 

Meeting up with friends and familiar faces here in Seoul has really recharged me after what felt like such a long stint of seclusion in Thailand. I can't thank enough all the people who made the time to hang out with me here---I'll never forget this trip.

And for some other exciting news---after more than two-and-a-half years away, I'm finally returning to America tomorrow! I am so ecstatic to go back to my country, and am especially looking forward to being immersed in a language that I 100% speak and understand. U-S-A! U-S-A!

If I had a dollar for every nose job that I've seen here in Korea, I would be a very rich man.

Sometimes, I really really just hate myself.

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Seoul...

:)

Consolidate.

There comes a point in every adult Asian guy's life, where you just have to accept that spiky hair isn't working anymore, and that it's time to move on.

Food, glorious food.

Take a deep breath...

...and then just let it all go.

Today I ate some birthday cake with a pair of chopsticks haha.

I.

Can not.

Drink.

Anymore.

Alcohol.

"But I don't want to engage with people. I think you look crazier when you engage with someone who doesn't have a fully formed argument."

Said by Lena Dunham in the December 2012 issue of American Esquire.

E-mail sure is the best!

I'm currently in Seoul visiting friends. 

It feels weird to not be in Thailand anymore, but I also know that it was time to move on as well. 

It's been snowing daily since I arrived here on Tuesday, which is nice since I hadn't seen it for two years.

Here is a picture I took from my friend's house I'm crashing at.

Goodbye, Thailand.

Thanks for taking care of me for the past two years.

Hope.
