Wow, A Blog From... Canada???

Yes your eyes aren't misleading you (assuming you read 'Canada'). I've been back in the homeland for a month now, and it has gone by very quickly. Everything is exactly the same... but not quite, there are subtle changes in many things. I've spent some time in Kelowna, Ottawa, and of course Victoria. All these places are great, and I enjoyed my time in all of them (especially catching the Canucks/Senators game in Ottawa).

Now for the news, I'm heading back to Korea on Feb. 9th. This is sooner than I would have liked, but I got a very good job offer that I didn't feel I could turn down. I'll be in Seoul again, working near Seoul National University (the Harvard of Korea as I'm told). Also, I get a free trip to Japan out of the deal... because I was lazy! Take note children, laziness DOES pay off. But seriously, this job offer developed so quickly that there wasn't time for me to get the proper visa in Canada. This means I'll be sent, all expenses paid, to Japan for two days to get my visa; so if anyone knows of anything good to do in Fukuoka speak up!

Finally, I have a tracker attached to this blog that allows me to see where every hit comes from. Most of them I can figure out, but I'm curious about what people are looking at this from the lower mainland, India, and So Cal. I've gotten a bunch of random hits, but these have been persistent 'viewers', so please leave a comment! I'm very intrigued to hear what people I don't know think of this blog.

I was hoping myself to get a 'free' trip to Japan. Alas, notta. I'll be back sometime close to the 24th. See ya there!
