31 Days

That's it. 31 days left. While I'll gladly leave the food and their educational system behind, there are a few things about Korea I will miss. Since I'm procrastinating, I think this is the perfect time to name a few:
1. I'll miss the US Air Force flying their jets overhead way too early in the morning and way too close to my roof. Aside from slightly liking the screech of their engines, it reminds me where I am.
2. The daily reminders that North Korea is a stones throw away. I like watching footage from Pyongyang on the nightly news - they look so Disneyland happy - as in not.
3. Fall. Ok, there will be Fall again, but its a glorious feeling when the humidity disappears and that cold, crispness comes.
4. The subway - it's so easy to hop on, though finding a place to stand is a different story - but once in a while, when you get a seat - well, they should make a Visa advertisement about it - priceless.
5. The rice fields - the perfect place to watch the seasons.

Not a glowing review of good memories, but a start. It's hard to concentrate with the jets circling overhead, so I'm gonna go put on some headphones and drown them out.
