Pictures tell the story too

I started this blog to share my travelling experiences and stay in touch with my friends, family, and general random acquaintances. I am much better at keeping my Facebook account up to date and my profile is public- and my pictures are always up to date!

So click here to see what I'm up to now!

Alien Registration Card


Woooohoooooo! I am officially an alien! I got my resident alien card today!

This means-
-I can get a cell phone! (which also means I can forward my online numbers and my US peeps can call me for free). I'm going to get a video phone. Everyone else has one......
- I can open a bank account! Which means I can get paid. I like getting paid.
- I now have national health insurance! I can go to the doctor, dentist, get acupuncture, and prescriptions for almost nothing. Like $5-10. Hoooooray! (I pay about 4% of my income- matched by my employer for full coverage- including optical and dental)
- I can get a drivers license!
------I am so NOT doing this. Public transportation is cheap and reliable and a red light means 'stop if you feel like it'. Unless your a taxi driver, if your a taxi driver it means GO FASTER!

Plus- there's some kind of festival going on. Something about 'Opening Day Ceremony'. We're in the 4th week of school so I'm not really sure what it's all about (one of students told me a boat will depart- from the library. Hmmm???) but I have a flood of students coming to my office with their officially stamped absence excuses and I've canceled my classes so far because only one or two people showed. I think I will study Korean. Maybe blog some more. Maybe not.
