Foreword

It's twenty days—and some—until I'll actually be flying off from Sydney into Korea to live and study for 11 months in hopes of grasping a hint of the language and culture of this inspiring country (They're the quintessential black horse in the world economy and their pop culture is dominating Asia).

I'm not much of a blogger (or one at all), but I anticipate this experience to so mind altering and paradigm shifting that I'll need a place to vent the resulting energy. That, and I find the idea of returning home to write mammoth essays after not writing so much as a cogent paragraph in English for a year, somewhat daunting.

I've always found the idea of blogging to be fairly narcissistic and self absorbed, but have probably mainly just shied away from it as a result of time pressures, real or merely perceived. However, as the Korean government doesn't like foreign students participating in their economy I'll find myself with an abundance of time and little money to throw at it.

I don't really have much more to say at this stage as I won't be setting out on my journey for three weeks, but I figured I'd chuck out a few paragraphs if only to get used to the idea of writing. With the clock nearing two, my bed is also looking quite inviting in spite of all the junk I've left on it.

Toodles Y'all,

Evanjellyan.

Oh, and I should probably add this. Contractual obligations and such.
(my favorite bit is "Mr Jeremy")
