tap, tap, cough: is this thing on?

Hello Blogtarts.

I'm sure that you've noticed the number of posts that appear here regularly has dropped. Ok, actually, I'm not at all sure that you've noticed. To be perfectly honest, I have no idea who reads this, as most of my followers have turned into silent, ghost-like lurkers.

So, to the lurkers who may or may not be out there, I say:

Um, who are you?

No, just kidding. As much as I would love a good "de-lurking", I actually wanted to talk about something different. Yesterday, June 5, was my blogoversary. The anniversary of my blog's birthday, three years ago!

And I totally missed it.

I was spending the day with a friend who just arrived in Korea, whom I haven't seen in over a year!

I have, after a wrench, decided not to write here for a while. Not because there is less to say about Korea - believe me, I come home with mouth fulls of words I want to publish everyday - actually, Blogtarts, I have decided it is more than time to commit to daily writing practice of fiction, in the interest of my future. This is my 575th post. If I had turned that same focus to a novel, I would be more than done by now.

I will continue to post pictures, and I'll write when I can't resist spilling the ridiculousness of Koren-ex-pat life. But other than that, lurkers...

Peace out, for now.

On the Wine Train to Daejeon




Dear Korea: THIS IS NOT CHEESE



Cheese (another cheese) and baguette! Mmm!



They made us play rock-paper-scissors and put stickers on the loser. Clearly, I lost.


The bathroom rated #1 in Korea...


LOL.


At the winery


We all got the same red wine. I was perfumed with eau de nail polish remover. We drank the white instead.



I have no idea why this drum is here (I was in no state to recall details at that point). But look how big it is!
