And so it actually happens...

Well. After many months of waiting, it's finally going to be a reality.

I'm off to Korea tomorrow morning, and will be there for an entire month. I plan to chronicle my journey while I'm there (and hopefully won't forget about the actual schoolwork I have to do on top of that), but you can bet there will be at least a few entries, hopefully with pictures, that I'll be putting up here over the next month.

I've been eagerly awaiting this trip for a number of reasons--among them, the fact that I'll get to practice my Korean even more (although I fear I might cower in the back corner once some cunning shopkeeper screws me out of 10,000 won more than I should've paid). I've spent far too long, I think, running away from my culture. Running away from learning the language, the history, the nerve to take that step.

Well, about damn time I took the plunge.

As they say...watch this space!
