Forget me not, Seoul
It's my last morning in South Korea: time to go back home.
It's been an incredible journey full of new experiences and new people. I'm left with a few great friends for life, an increased knowledge level of Korea and Asia, the ability to read and write Korean characters (but not to understand what it says) and fluency in chopsticks. Not everything here has been positive. Not getting to know many Koreans, the never-ending rain and waiting for five minutes at every traffic light have all been a part of my summer here as well. But the general taste in my mouth is positive.
So it is somewhat wiser, gastronomically more experienced and just a bit tanned I say farwell to Seoul. Forget me not!

In the wake of North Korea's first successful nuclear test, The Washington Post's PostGlobal and Oxford International Review are sponsoring exclusive blog responses to a question posed by former South Korean President and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Kim Dae-Jung:
Why do you think the current US Administration has refused direct negotiations with North Korea, despite North Korea's proposal to do so?
OIR posed this question to a panel of students from the United States and Asia gathered at Hong Kong University to participate in the Asia Institute for Political Economy, a program conducted by The Fund for American Studies. Click here to read their commentary, in light of recent events: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/postglobal/debate/korea/
Because of your interest in the region, you are invited to join the conversation and pose questions to our panel. OIR and PostGlobal would love your input.

I really enjoyed your blog and your writing. Coincidently I too am an aspiring journalist who arrived at Yonsei probably only days after you left. I've been here the last 10 months and have been working on a blog of the events myself. When I went to write my most recent post (about the effeminate nature of men in the region) an image search led me to the very image on your blog of Lee Jun-gi. I've been fortunate to run across your writing and your story telling, and I've enjoyed vicariously living the summer experience through your blog as I myself am on the eve of the end of my stay in Korea. Thanks for sharing your insight and your adventure and I wish you luck professionally and I hope to see your writing again soon.
