Getting back into the swing of things in Seattle can be a little harrowing. Just a week ago from today I was travelling from Chenzhou to Guangzhou to catch a plane back home. I have been home for a week and I am already thinking about what my next move is going to be. Basically, there are two options. The first is to pack my things up again and travel to Seoul, South Korea and become a teacher, again. The other is with Microsoft. At this point, I am attempting to keep myself excited about the Microsoft gig because it seems that I will get the offer any day.
I am currently working on going through the blog and taking notes as I am writing what might be the book version of my work. I will post bits of information from time to time concerning this, so please keep dialed in.
In the event that I do actually go to Korea, I will certainly post information on this site concerning that information. Read more!

Seattle

Ahhh, its feels nice to be back on American soil once again.
Although it is difficult to say how long I will remain here. Already my thoughts are on the next move, which is looking more and more like it will be Korea. There is a big possibility of a job opening up at Microsoft, but if they don't manage to get things moving by the end of the week than I think I will more than likely just sign this contract and go to Korea for a year because it sounds like a nice job and pays well and I think another year out of the country will do me some good.
I can't say that I am overly impressed with being back--the food is nice and the weather is good, but its pretty much the same that it always here in Seattle and that is not such a good thing. After being through a year of such dynamice changes, it is hard to come back here and see that things are pretty much in the same realm as they always were before.
The thing that I keep thinking is that if things haven't really changed in a year, then its not going to be any different in another year.
Anyway, just a brief note to say hello and that all seems to be pretty status quo.
More later... Read more!
