Where we go from here

Ok: I had several good thoughts about Korea today. To be honest, I haven't had that many since we have been home. I was a bit premature thinking that last Sunday would be close to the end of our jet lag. The whole week has been a kind of rough. Both of us have been in strange sleeping and eating patterns. We have been awake at 3 am eating cheerios and watching infomercials. Then trying to function during the day.
Also surprising: I miss Korean food. That has been an unexpected development. I thought I would want pizza and tacos, but I just want rice and banchan. We have eaten it twice this week. What has Korea done to me?

Oh, jahjangmyeon...so delish.

Now that I am feeling more myself, and I am happily home munching my jajang noodle dish, I can think more rationally about my feelings about the trip, and where we go from here. Specifically regarding our language endeavors. That was really the main reason we decided to take the trip. Joe and I have reached a crossroads in our language learning. Two years in. We have the basics. Now we have to decide if we can get to that next level of communication. It is a big step.
But I think we can do it.
