the big circle has been closed!

i'm home now! what a great trip! this will probably be the last post for quite some time. i'll be coming back and reading this blog when my life gets boring.

so in the immediate present my life is revolving around medical school applications, after which i will start hauling assphalt as a truck driver for a road contruction company here in northern alberta. then its back to college for one more semester.

thanks for reading this, if you have been, and God bless!

seoul

my last stop was a day long layover in seoul, south korea. took a train into the city from the award winning incheon airport - which was built on a reclaimed island out in the ocean. then i took the seoul metro to a random place, and walked around looking for some breakfast, which i finally found at a dunkin donuts (they're everyhwhere in korea!). then i spent the rest of the morning walking toward and trying to find my way up a large mountain in the middle of the city that has a tower on it that i went up to get an amazing view. by some measures seoul is the second largest urban agglomeragtion in the world. it was a very nice city, although seemed a little drab to be honest after the glitz and glamor of bangkok. i then wandered some more, found a cheap korean buffet which could not have been better, and then found my way back to the airport, only falling asleep on the metro a couple times on the way.
