hello

Hi. I haven't felt like writing anything good so I have not published anything. My experience has gone from bad to worse. I'm more inclined to grab my hair and cry as I think about all that I've been through. Nothing to kill me physically. Just enough to bury my willpower and motivation to keep going. No place of peace here. I will be leaving either August 31 or September 2. I know that going back to my country won't fix this but at least I have a better chance at having a little, tiny bit of peace.

Going to try again to write... Tomorrow I escape. My time of leave has been granted for once a month. I can walk the plank and jump onto the sandy beach without fear of the crocodiles. Well, in reality I'm escaping the crocodiles. I have to do this at least once a month. It helps to renew strength of mind.

It's not a bad place to live if you're a local.  My mountaintop rest I like to hike. I typically hike alone for various reasons that ac...

Office setup the way I imagine my brother would have his one day. View from my business apartment - Still undeveloped Sejong. My breakfast January 24th Smart City Sign on Daejeon bus stops Why I took the bus to the next city Divine burgers...first burger I've had in over 5 months. It was wrapped in lettuce instead of bread. Ok. Next time I'll cut it into a salad. I think the flavors will go much better. Missed mustard. Fries were decent.  Fries bag...

Finally realized not to add the fillings until after the base of the omelette. Cooked the onion, colored bell peppers, and mushroom. Set them aside and then cooked the egg flat. When it was more than half done, added the veggies that were sauteed in coconut oil, salt, pepper, and (my standard) turmeric.  My workspace. Enjoying the kindergarten class. Is it child labor to have them color the shapes? I'm going to cut them out later, laminate, and use them for learning activities. That class is fun. Just have to move and be speaking English with them. Of course, what I say and do is very purposeful but it's fun at the same time. Sejong City Hall - used the panorama setting with the camera vertical to get this picture. The angle was too tall and too wide for regular pictures. Panorama has other uses beyond the 360 degree view.
