Dateline: Eagan, Minnesota (10 pm Saturday)
I saw lakes and the setting sun looking out the window as we landed at Minneapolis. I didn’t take a picture. But well, I’m here.
I feel as if I’ve been propelled backward in time – not culture shock, but temporal shock, maybe. By living in Korea, I live in my own future. It’s another planet. And when I return to the US, I return to the past. That’s the way it feels. I’m not referring to the putative modernity of either Korea or the US, but just the feel of the cultural differences and my own personal relationship, such as it is, with each culture.
