Adios America!

I'm off on an adventure. Maybe someday I'll come back.

Guess who got tired of living in America immediately and is moving back to Asia this fall.

Fun fact: I'm unnaturally good with elephants to the point where their keepers were confused.

Fish dinner of striped snakehead and snappers.

Wandering through the junkyard district of Bangkok.

I might be in love with Thailand.

Get on my level of transportation.

You've never gotten a massage until you've paid a Korean grandmother to beat you up at a jimjilbang.

I'm always in love with my room at sunset. Why can't the sun always set at 7?

I can hike the gorgeous Jangsan Mountain if I walk like six blocks down the road. Honestly, life is so good.

I'm never missing Holi Hai again.

[adiosamerica]

Honestly, Love Land on Jeju Island was fabulously strange.

I want to go back to Kaohsiung, Taiwan.

I think the thing that makes me most homesick is knowing that I’ll never go home again.

It’s been three months since I moved to Asia from the Chicago suburbs and I just pieced together in my mind that my family moved the week I left. If I ever go home, I’ll never see my old house again.

But then, that was the house my family moved into after I moved away to college. 

And that house was the house we were just stewarding until it would sell.

I guess I can’t figure out whether or not I have any home to be sick for.

My boys, the Kongdoo Monsters just pulled up from behind and wrecked the favored Rox Tigers in like 40 seconds!!!! 1-0!!

[adiosamerica]

Super pumped to be heading off to my first ever e-sports championship. I will probably keep updates because I have no clue what's about to happen!

[adiosamerica]

Welcome to my neighborhood, Jangsan.

There's also like a bazillion places that do fireworks. Any occasion. Country founding? Fireworks. Fireworks festival? Fireworks. Someone's birthday? Fireworks. Sunday night? Fireworks.
