Korean Skills

Last night I was walking home in the fog(I got lost later) when a Korean lady stopped and asked us where she could catch a certain bus. I was impressed with myself that I could actually know what she was talking about since she asked us in Korean. Now, I could not explain exactly where the bus stop was for lack of knowledge of the area, but still I was happy that I understood what she meant. It is little moments like this that make me want to study harder. The lady was quite a mystery to me. I was extremely surprised that she would ask a group of foreigners directions in Korean. She fully expected us to be able to answer her easily. I am not complaining. It actually made me feel good. So many times Koreans don't expect you to know any of the language and are pleased when you utter the smallest of phrases.

I am considering switching to free press and really can't decide if I want to make the change or not. I use Picasa to upload my photos which make it really easy, but I think I would like more of the freedom of using wordpress.(and of course all the really good blogs use it) I will probably keep trucking along with blogger for awhile now since I have been using it for over 2 years now. I have been a little disappointed with myself for posting more pictures than actually information and will slowly add more text to all of my posts.

I also have a couple of options to spice up the blog a little bit. I am planning on having a weekly reoccurring feature on Saturdays. I have been working on this for a couple of days and have already planned for the first couple of Saturdays.

Last but not least, farewell to a Korean blogger who I read everyday. He has decided to hang up his blogging hat. The Lost Nomad was an insightful blog that I will miss. I have been cleaning up the blog lately and last night actually deleted his link. Good Luck Fishing Nomad!

I am also added a new blog today as well. Check out "A Geek in Korea" I have been following his blog now on a hit and miss schedule and have just gotten around to adding him to my links.
