I totally agree with Christmas being the hardest time of the year but since Korea doesn't really celebrate it like we do back home it actually helps! I miss hanging around at home with the family and drinking with my friends and playing footie at the weekends but I always remind myself that I have a great life here. I am married to the smartest and most beautiful girl who makes me feel like I can do anything.
I have been back twice now to Ireland (in 3 years) and it's shocking that nothing has changed. All my friends are still doing the same thing and probably will be for the next 20 years. They will never live in another country or experience a different culture and to be honest I think that's rather sad.
I guess it depends on the family and the person. All my uncles travelled and lived in another country (Japan, New York, Germany) for several years and I think that I got the bug from them. My brother is in Scotland while I'm here. I'm happy that I did come here and moved on and you should be the same whistleblower. Think of all the things that you have seen and experienced here that nobody back home will see
Having said all that I miss some fine steak with mushrooms and onions!
