The Seven-Month Itch
It is truly an exercise in self-control that I have not gone on vaca...or moved in seven months!
I take out my passport and glance at the photo every morning...it calms me somewhat. It is current and valid through 2010. It holds one of my better passport photos since the nineties. I had been thinking alot about my ex and his country of origin for some reason and stumbled across a blogger that lives there now. She refers to herself as Ex-pat Jane and has quite an interesting blog.(One would suggest dear reader that you take advantage and read it.)
My sister and I have been toying with the idea of a family trip to some undetermined point in Southeastern Asia, but I am voting South Korea because of my love of Korean men!All that stands between me and the perfect vaca is sixteen hours (and two procrastinating relatives!)- I am pouting as I type.
One of my friends asked if my ex had had that great an impact on me. I reminded him of my fascination concerning Korea, Japan and China from years previous. "I do vaguely remember that...but what's up with that side of the globe now?" "PLENTY!" I exclaimed. "Haven't you heard ANYTHING about India and China's struggle to become the Best in the East?" "Sure-" "Well don't count out Korea!"
My subscriptions to BC Magazine (online), Jade Magazine (I have the tee), HK Magazine (my penpal mails them weekly) weren't Korea-centric so I subscribed to Saengmyeong-eui Salm (Living Life), Mal, An An and Vogue Korea too(don't worry, I got a package rate). When my ex came by to pick me up for dinner, he chuckled at my magazine basket then asked, "So what are you doing, lookin at the pictures?" I told him my God-send was a free translation site, but humbly relented "It still takes me about a month to read them". He feigned sympathy by severely pouting at me and offered to come by to read them to me. Although sweet, I'm sure it was just a part of his plan to get into my pants.
Who knows, maybe we (or I) will make it to Seoul this year...I penny-pinch like the Miser of Wall Street most of the time so it is can-do in that department. And maybe I'll find a guy so hot that I have to drag him home!
The Goddess does not recommend dragging home random young men from vacation destinations...there are legalities (international legalities) involved.
