So long, Farewell...

Well here it is folks.  The last entry.  At least for now.  I'll probably pick this back up if I ever leave the confines of the U.S. again.  But for now, its adios.

I wish I had more to offer, but my trip kept me away from home through the first week of school for this quarter, and as a result of my general laziness, I'm now about 2 weeks behind in actually learning the material.  I have kept up with the due dates and assignments, but the broad concepts are flying by at an alarming rate.  So I just don't have the time finish the reminiscing.

So here's a quick recap.

Argentina.  Awesome.  Bummed to miss "summer" but had a fantastic experience nonetheless.

America.  All one week of it was great.  Warm-ish weather was nice.  Seeing friends is always good.

Hong Kong.  Holy mother.  What a city.  Blown away by the scope.

Vietnam.  The people were astounding.  So warm, welcoming, open, hospitable, nice, generous, kind, affable.  The adjectives could keep on flowing.

Cambodia.  Stunning country.  Just didnt spend enough time there.  Ticked off a box on the bucket list though.  So worth the trip by itself.

Singapore.  Stark contrast to the previous two weeks.  Modern and up to date in every way.  Plus, F1 is AWESOME.  And loud.  Plug your ears.

Back to Vietnam.  Same description still applies.

Seoul.  Didn't see much, lotta jetlag.  But I did visit Gangnam.  It was NOT full of people doing that ridiculous horse dance.  I was severely disappointed.

And back to Seattle.  Probably the most welcome part of the trip was coming home to a city I have come to love so dearly and have adopted as my new home.


After 4 months away, it is good to be back.  I love you all, and thank you for reading this.  I appreciate your audience and your feedback.  I probably shouldn't have listened to your encouragement though, only because more of this garbage fell out of my brain and onto the internet.  Oh well, at least you put up with me.

And I thank you for that.

Best,
Corey
