I'm glad to be off this life style now ! That's right: great memories, good and easy money, some unsual free time but at least, it coulb be a track if you still stuck on these nice experiences. Conclusion: use it as more than needed without crossing the deadline !Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350352.post-1119452122766811492005-06-22T10:55:00.000-04:002005-06-22T10:55:00.000-04:00I think the subliminal messages about Starbucks ha...I think the subliminal messages about Starbucks have already started though and that Seattle is well on the way to captildom.<BR/><BR/>Cheonan is in Chungnam-do...it's about a 1/2 south of Seoul by bullet train or 1 hour by bus.<BR/><BR/>I did learn survival korea...how to ask what time the movie is, how to tell a taxi where to go, enough to bargain in markets. I learned Hangeul as well to read bus schedules and order food at restaurants and such. Not many people spoke English in Cheonan so it was a necessity.<BR/><BR/>Take care, JackieJackie Bolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642429027710881958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350352.post-1119390451330441572005-06-21T17:47:00.000-04:002005-06-21T17:47:00.000-04:00Wandering: In which "do" is Cheonan?

No offense against the Koreans, but I found them too shy to help a foreigner like myself with the langauge. The Chinese seem more accommodating. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for participating.SAPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03557799755467836622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8350352.post-1119390220778758842005-06-21T17:43:00.000-04:002005-06-21T17:43:00.000-04:00Loved your message about Starbucks on my site!

I think if I came back it would be to Jeju Island.

That said, I did love the adventure or Asia. I'm thinking about applying for the JET program when I'm done grad school. <BR/><BR/>I'm a big fan of the decent savings, not too much work and opportunities to travel.<BR/><BR/>Ever since I left...I think about it everyday and want to go back.Jackie Bolenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07642429027710881958noreply@blogger.com
