My Happy Spot

Its a Sunday night and I am getting ready for work and yet another busy work week.

My blogs are my thoughts/feelings about my life in Korea. Reader be aware that this is truly my experience. While sometimes its sad, its all a journey and mirrors what Life is. My opinions and life is what it is and that's why I don't hesitate to write what I think so much of the time. After all we all end up in the same place all the time.


Today was a day like none other. I relaxed and enjoyed a nice warm day and am liking the Spring Weather of Korea. I have a lot of mixed feelings about Korea. Korea is an interesting place and has a lot of great things to offer but I am saddened by the fact that I can't always enjoy everything there is to offer since my work schedule is so busy.

My Happy Spot is nestled in between the arms of my loving doting girlfriend who I would do anything for honestly. We enjoyed the Sunday afternoon quite well together and just like the cherry season in full bloom the fleetness of natures' bounty and infinite beauty Sunday afternoon quickly dissipated into the falling of dusk.

I am determined more than ever to make my dreams come true. I have been down a long and winding road and the amount of ways my life has been enriched due to my Honey Kim has been innumerable. Andong, Kyuong Ju, Daegu, Busan, Gumi: president Parks place, Yale, 5th floor, Mcdonalds, Galbi place(s), downtown, Indong, Paradise, VIPS, the list is a long one more about that later.

I just know that deep down inside I have been running with a great thing and I am hoping that my time in Korea has been well and a learning experience as well as a building block for whatever may come in the future.


I went to dinner with Ryan a friend of mine here in Gumi. There are so many friends its hard to keep track of everyone. WE went to the Ra Cha Cha. Talked about Korea, work, life etc. Korea work over dinner. That's the typical discussion.

I am a slow learner though in Korea eating in silence is a norm and if you don't talk its viewed as good or ok. To a westerner or in my case me it is a little hard to understand. Meals are for you to enjoy and talk later. I always ate in silence and people yelled at me in America for this saying I was too quiet and something must be wrong.

I talked to my dad in the morning. Heard about some old friends from high school. Thought it was interesting since I haven't talked to them for 7 years and the last time I did I was riding in their convertible with them skipping practice when I was a freshman in high school. Wild times indeed. They were a funny bunch of kids. They were seniors and a bad influence but I was just a youthful punk at 16-17 years old.


All in all it was a good day and I couldn't be in a more happier spot right now.

I am embracing each day as it comes with my loving arms stretched open!
