Thank you, Eric and the Ninja!

I appreciate the encouragement. I've just sent my contract, transcripts, etc. to KNC Language Institute in Gunsan. One of the teachers there has been talking w/ me and she has said it's the best thing she's ever done. My "expedited" passport renewal has still not arrived, however. I suppose there is a glut of applications due to the new requirements for entry into Canada and Mexico. I'm not really sure how long the process takes, from this point. I still have to give notice at my job, and rent a storage unit, sell my car and my plants. I have an 8 foot ficus lyrata that I grew from a scrawny Wal-mart reject.

I've heard about deodorant, sheets, towels, and larger sized clothes and shoes being scarce. I'm really curious as to what you wished you'd brought, or wish you'd left behind, once you got there? Also, doesn't anyone eat brown rice? How 'bout organic foods? Just curious. I'll eat anything. Maybe even dog (why does this grinning icon say becky?)
