Two months!

As of Sunday, I officially have two months left in Korea.  Last week I booked my flight to Minneapolis for September 5th.  I have mixed emotions about this.  I am dying to see my family and friends, and I truly believe the happiest day of my life thus far will be when I step off the airplane at the Minneapolis/Saint Paul airport.  But I also think about all the people I will be leaving.  Most of them I will never see again, which is rather depressing to think about.  I fully intend to take advantage of my final two months here in Korea.  I will be living it up.  

Actually, I really only have a month and a half left in actual Korea.  I am traveling to Nepal and India from July 31st-August 16th.  Because my schedule didn't work out with any of my other friends, I will be traveling alone (sort of).  Yikes!  This will be a first for me.  But Nepal and India have been travel goals for me for quite some time so I figured I really have to go for it.  But because I didn't totally want to travel all alone (especially in Nepal where they are having some political unrest supposedly--the U.S. has even issued a travel warning), I am going on a tour with Intrepid Travel.    I will begin my trip in Kathmandu and end in Delhi.  

And in honor of going to Kathmandu, here's a little Bob Seger for you:

we're in the same boat!

I'm leaving Taiwan on the 9th, and am also excited to be back home, but already feeling a weird daze settle in over my head at the thought of not seeing most of these people ever again.

I'll also do some traveling (alone) but unlike you, I have no clue where to, yet! :P

Well, here's to our last 2 months!
