I'm no budding philanthropist, but well, you know, we all wanna change the world ...

"Let the world change you, and you can
change the world."
~ Che Guevara

Let

Change
The world

One year ago, I wanted a change. I never expected this.

One year later, I bow to say hello, goodbye & thank you. I give and receive everything with two hands.

I don't own a single fork.

I like dried fish and pig intestines - just not together.
I think fried squid smells good.

I've formed and maintained friendships without saying any words at all.

I laugh at the irony of family sending gifts that were "Made in Korea". I eat corn on my pizza with a side of pickles.

I think ovens and dryers are sooooo 2006. I don't call a meal complete unless it includes kimchi. I fall asleep on the subway with my purse in front me.

I'll never again consider Niagara-Toronto as "long-distance dating".

I forget what it's like to drive a car.

I know that cucumbers are the secret weapon against massive, throbbing Soju hangovers. I think 3,000W for a beer is expensive.

I know my capabilities, and my limits.

Before I came here, somebody cautioned, "I hope you're not going over there to find yourself." I was terrified because I was.

And I did.

In one month, I'll be in Vietnam & on the beaches of Thailand.
In 3 months I'll pack my life into two suitcases and head back to Canada. I know where I'll go and who I'll see.
I'll try to find something to do.
Something I love.
Something like this.
