Korea: Day 1 part 2
It’s been a long, but fun day. After arriving at Hapjeong bus stop, Kim met me and we walked back to her friend’s place, who has very kindly allowed me to stay as well. Once I dropped off my stuff, we went around the comer for lunch and coffee. While I am quite comfortable with not speaking Korean, it would definitely come in handy to know a few phrases for ordering food. Somehow…

Korea: Day 1 part 1
I am on a bus going into Seoul from Incheon airport. I have already had to adjust to the culture and body block an older woman from cutting in front of me to buy a bus ticket. It smells like kimchi on the bus and I am enveloped in sounds of a language I barely know anything about. Yet as the other two times I have been to Korea, I feel a sense…

Dubai Day 21
One more day…. More of the same on Wednesday – had to finish studying. I managed to get caught up and a bit ahead in one course. So, I shouldn’t have to worry about it while I am in NYC. I have readings to take with me for the second course, but the tasks can be done once I get to Oregon, if I focus! My first assignments are due the first week…

Dubai Day 20
Only two more days left…. 🙁 Unfortunately, Tuesday was all about getting studying done. I plowed through another module (unit) in my “Discourse in Professional and Organizational Contexts” course. It’s not my favorite I have to admit, but it has interesting bits here and there. I started a module that I should have finished last week for my “Concepts in Managing Language Programs” course, which is much more interesting for me, but I…
