Christmas Eve Moon
This post from Brian in Jeollanam-do sums up why I will not be extending my contract in Korea.
"Master's Wife," I whispered, "is Master here?"
"Yes."
"Is Officer here?"
"Yes."
I scrunched up my face. "Um, I have a Christmas gift, but I forgot about Officer!"
She nodded knowingly, and took my gift.
After class (a Christmas party that consisted of watching some horror movie and eating snacks), I went to say goodbye to Maser. Master, Grin, Officer, Master's Wife and another man I don't know were chowing down on the gift I'd brought: two dozen molasses cookies and Snickerdoodles. I'd baked them Saturday and they'd kept very well. I'd found a straw woven tray from some Chuseok gift and used that for the cookie tray.
They enjoyed the cookies, which felt good.
I can bake.
I'm not sure if it's a full moon, nearly full moon, or just was full moon. Photo taken at 1954, ISO 100, shutter 1/100th, f/16. I have a tendency to really overexposure moon shots but remembered that the Sunny Sixteen rule basically works with the moon. Heavily cropped (I only had my prime lens!) and contrast lightly adjusted in Lightroom.

At least in Japan I'll own my own visa.
I'm rather sad about it. I've really enjoyed your blog and it played a big part in making my now-rescinded decision. ^_^
Having said that, I do not want to teach here on an E2 any longer.
Also having said that, 2009 is still a long ways away. With the new president and these new regs, I would really sit tight and see what happens. Much of this foreigner-bashing may have been, in part, due to an extremely unpopular political leader being in office and the election that occurred on the 19th of this month. (I will let you draw your own conclusions about the similarity to the state of politics in the US.)
I will return to Korea. Just not with the state of affairs as such.
