Nadirs/Zenith of Korea Trip '08

I'm finally somewhat coherent and functioning on U.S. time now. The jetlag after visiting the motherland was like no other.

Overall, the trip was good.

Nadirs
  • my father being ... my father. I completely shut down.
  • realizing the end.
Zenith:
  • spending time with my cousins. They were most kind and generous. We had quite a few things in common.
  • seeing my aunt (mama's cousin).
  • sleeping all the time at Jeju-do. It was much needed and appreciated rest.
  • the International Book Fair. I pretty much enjoyed all the bookstores in Korea.
  • spending time with Dan's parents. They exude warmth and happiness.
  • laughing at the outrageousness of Korean television. A combination of the funny, weird and disturbing.
  • spending time with Marilyn. I felt happy that she was happy.
  • closure and looking forward to a new beginning.
You can see the pictures posted on the link on the left. I still have to wait for Goeje-do pictures from Marilyn.

Dali's Girl at Window

There's something about this painting that really draws me in...
