Wait, so that four-month-all-over-Asia trip that starts in less than two months isn’t going to plan itself? Uhhh.. crap.

crap
Made it until 830, but am sooo tired and am pretty sure I’m about to get super sick. Ugh. Managed to get a few Jello shots and turkey in me, as well as score the most ridiculous White Elephant gift. More later.
Good night!

merry merry!
I woke up at 7am because it is apparently impossible for me to sleep in on Christmas. Despite the fact I never, ever wake up that early, nor do I have my sister nudging me to wake up so we can open presents. (I’m pretty sure she still would do that.)
Plans for the day:
- Already Skyped with my dad’s side of the family
- Already opened presents from my mom (thanks, mom!)
- Meet...

Cahokia →
josoki:
“Even now, the idea of an Indian city runs so contrary to American notions of Indian life that we can’t seem to absorb it, and perhaps it’s this cognitive dissonance that has led us to collectively ignore Cahokia’s very existence.”
I went here on a fourth? grade trip but was way too young to care about anything after getting off a bus I had been on for three hours. Since then, I...

Dave, the guy I went to Tokyo with, makes iPod/iPhone apps and this is the one he’s been working on for awhile. Finally came out today! Download it; it looks pretty sweet.

lazy day
Finally got my McDonald’s! Only took four tries over the span of three days.
I decided to head over to Jaclynn’s near Gangnam station, so before I left I asked her if she wanted me to bring anything. ”Three large fries.” ”Seriously?” ”Yeah, Lenny’s here.” Okay.
So I got to her place and Lenny, her co-worker, had spent the night since he...

but the worst part of my day was...
All day I was dreaming, dreaaaaaaming of eating McDonald’s for dinner. When it came time for us to order our food at work, I was the only one getting McD’s so my co-teacher came to tell me I couldn’t get it since it didn’t make their minimum delivery price, and I was like, “Oh no, it’s cool. I’ll just order MORE!”
THEN we find out they...

STFU, Conservatives: House passes repeal of DADT →
stfuconservatives:
Good news, but we still need the Senate.
…Many Republicans, led by Sen. John McCain of Arizona, argue that it would be a mistake for the military to undergo a major cultural change while the nation is fighting two wars.
The issue has also split the military. Defense Secretary Robert Gates
and other senior military leaders support lifting the restrictions on gay service,...

Kelly in Korea: A List - More Student Impressions... →
kellyinkorea:
A few months ago my first grade students (sophomores in the U.S.) took their two-week “culture” trip to the United States. When they returned, we did a simple worksheet and had a discussion of their experiences. Here are a few of the questions I asked and some of their responses in their words.
What was one thing that surprised you?
America’s big & huge land
The power of...

socialized healthcare ftw
My co-worker got two wisdom teeth taken out (didn’t get knocked out, only numbed) for 9,700 won. Less than $10.
!!!!!!!!!
As an American, these things will never cease to amaze me. When is it our turn to join the rest of the industrialized world and get down with a system like this?!

tokyo yo yo (aka lots of dumb pictures of yours...
I went to Tokyo Saturday morning-Monday morning with Dave from California who I met in Luang Prabang/hung out with in Chiang Mai just over a year ago. He was in Taiwan visiting family so we decided to meet up for a second Asian rendezvous. He found a sweet place to stay on airbnb.com, a site I had no idea existed and is pretty awesome. This girl, Masami, rents out her apartment (to complete...
