In Between Dreams

Its Still Sunday and I needed an official rest day. Tomorrow is going to be a busy work day especially since I didnt ever get around to doing the work that I was hoping to do tonight. I am glad its July and I am looking forward to Celebrating the 4th of July in stlye. I dont know what I will do but I imagine I will be going out with Tracy and Bryant and maybe some other people as well.

I have been experiencing a vast amount of weird dreams. In some dreams I am talking Korean but can't remember a lot when I wake up. I am also a Hero where I am doing miracle things. Strange I know but thats how dreams work.

I have also had feelings where I still believe I am in America and not actually in Korea. Sometimes I still think I am in America until I look out the window to the sounds, smells and sight of Korea.

**Traffic is continuous and I am surprised that the Taxi drivers operate throughout the night. Korea never sleeps. Throughout the night one can easily hear the honking of a taxi, the brakes of a bus or any other car of course.

Asia has a strong work ethic and desire to succeed. In order to be able to support the family people take on many responsibilities and thus have many obligations. Unlike, America where on the weekend we are free to drink and watch movies all the live long day Korea and the rest of Asia works or fullfills obligations 24-7-365.

The korean writing is everywhere naturally. Thus it has prompted me to learn Korean.


Dreams carry me throughout the rest of the day as well. In the mornings it is my time. I listen to my music on my computer and do things that I enjoy and that I am more or less accostumed to. When I am at the Academy I am teaching English and have found a rhythm of which I am comfortable.

In the evenings, it is slowly but surely becoming my time to learn the ways of Korean. For example, last night I wandered the streets aimlessly looking for a quick dish and a beer. I passed many restaurants but I wasn't getting any good Vibes.

I felt like I would be stared at and talked about behind my back. That's why I want to say Please dont ever talk about Foreigners in any deragatory sense. If they are in your country they have a particular reason and probably could use your help. I also didnt want to be the only person in a huge area with no one to talk to. I know that sounds pathetic but for now thats how it goes.


As I said my dreams Asia and America encapsulate my life. I am needing to figure out a new option after Gumi. My life in Gumi will end in exactly one year. Seriously thats not long and I am sure it will take a few more blogs to discuss this concept (life after Gumi).

My mind is flooded with many different thoughts. I am not at all certain what I will end up doing either. I have desires to continue my teaching career and pursue a life in Japan or Taiwan.

I know how to speak Spanish, eventually I hope to know Korean, Japanese and Chinese. I think if I could go to a University in Taiwan and work on my Teaching and Language skills that would be another option.


Right now I am satisfied just dreaming and awaiting my future with open arms.

My life in Gumi is going great. It is possible that I could even stay here for longer than a year.
I can think of plenty of reasons to continue my teaching here in Gumi.
