My self-imposed one-year exile in Hantucky is officially ended.
The incontrovertable sign of this: I have internet DSL in my new apartment. Instead of the almost 2-month waiting period I was subjected to in Hantucky, metro Seoul does these things in about 12 hours, from moment of request to installation. Admittedly, the delays in Hantucky were due to my employer, not due to the internet provider.
Nevertheless, these differences are meaningful and worth comparing – my employer here is on my side. That's really the difference.
Nevertheless, I'm really missing my Hongnong kids, at the moment. I received the following message on my cellphone, last night. Charming. Heh.
안녕하세요~
