Update (version ?)

hmm, it appears that I can't keep to a MWF kind of schedule (I'm too lazy or something) so updates will be infrequent. I seem to keep updating on sunday, maybe that will work best. I'll aim for two at a time or something.

A quick update on me. I've been pretty good so far, no major incidents or international crisis to speak of. This week (July 8-18) I'll be out of the country in San Francisco acquiring a VISA, so that I can come back to Korea and collect all of my belongings (which are being held hostage at Korean Customs). I'm coming all the way back to the US because I really didn't feel comfortable surrendering my passport in another country (Japan, China, etc). I just think that the security of being in the US without it will be better. Anywhoo, plane tickets are booked and all now, so I'll be there then. That also means that my US cell will be back on (and in cell mode ... it probably misses the 3G signal), so feel free to call/text me while I'm there.

The tentative plan is to take in a few Giants games (9th and 10th at least) and then go from there. Maybe some time on the beach and probably a lot of American food (even if it destroys my internal systems since I'm not as used to it now). Other than that the trip is kind of open ended, not too sure what I'll do or end up. Ideas or suggestions are more than welcome :)

Physically, I'm in about the same shape as when I left. Maybe 10-15lbs lighter, but I had the weight to lose (poor diet before I left...). I've also been working out 3-5 times a week, so I wouldn't doubt that is contributing too. There is a track near my house so I've been there a few times and playing basketball for a few hours on other days. Running here is actually a bit harder than in the States.

The big difference is that it is pretty warm most days (30 deg C = 84 deg F) which isn't bad, but the humidity is always pretty high. Its just a product of the season (so I'm told) and Changwon being near the coast. We have had a few really warm days (33 deg C and up) but it hasn't gotten too bad yet. Supposedly its warmer (and more humid) after the rainy season in August. Sigh, we'll just have to see how it goes. Well that's about it for this post, be sure to read the other one for today too.
