Two Out of Three Ain't Bad

It's October 1st, and I am officially 2/3 finished with Korea! (self high-five) So, naturally, it's time to start thinking about the next move. It would be a shame to be on this side of the world and not do a little extra traveling, and something is pulling me Down Under. I've been pricing out tickets, looking at options, and I'm thinking I may be kiwi-bound come February, for a couple months. You're only young once...but as it's still four months out, it's too soon to be marking X's on calendars just yet.

In the spirit of looking towards the future, however, I've been thinking about things I really miss about the Western world, things that I haven't allowed myself to dwell on over here since they are so unattainable. In no particular order, here are some things I reallllllly miss:

-Berry Propel
-cheese
-my hammock
-trustworthy hairdressers (google Korean haircuts)
-the other 3/4 of my wardrobe
-driving, my VW, and in general, independent transport
-Kim and Ryan
-a Certain Someone who doubtlessly prefers anyonymity, but without whom this list would be woefully incomplete
-black licorice
-my family
-the smell of pine trees
-PBR
-English

Dear Mom, if there's any chance you were planning on sending me a 24th birthday package, I'd be grateful to the point of tears for any of the above items. And speaking of being grateful, it's Cheusok (Korean Thanksgiving) tomorrow, so Happy Cheusok, and remember, it's all in the little things!
