I sometimes sit here and wonder what will be the next stage life after I leave for Korea for good (whenever that may be). It is a very scary thought because I am unable to come up with any solid answer for what comes after here. The whole thought of a domesticated 9-5/kids/white picket fence kind of life is not appealing to me whatsoever yet I do want to settle down to some capacity. Homesteading was one thing that has always been close to my heart but who knows what will happen. Some more education is in the books as well. I got thinking about this after reading an entry from Drifting Focus’ blog entry that touched on being nomadic and whether it was truly possible to truly settle down.

I have lived on couches before, I have road tripped, I have been nomadic before and I’m feeling the urge to do so again. I would like a small plot of land to act as a home base but travel will always be a part of my life (or so I intend for it to be). Humans were originally nomadic peoples and maybe I’m better suited for that lifestyle?

With that aside, Mokpo has seen a bunch of snow fall. Several inches at least. I have to admit I was getting sick of cold weather and no snow to make it pretty. It’s bloody cold but at least we have snow.

I am poor. Why? I sent the majority/almost all of my money home while the exchange rate was good for the Won and the Canadian Dollar. I’ve been the little money I have left. Luckily I’m getting one meal a day at school. I have enough to get me to Inchon and that’s about it.

I am still teaching my one hour a day winter class. That ends Thursday. Then I go HOME! Canada!
