One of my biggest pet-peeves about South Korea blogs is when the blogger’s contract ends and she/he disappears.

You occasionally check the blog from time to time to see if anything is new, but the same old pictures of random people drinking Cass and eating fried chicken in the snow keep popping up.

Then you check your window (given that you’re in the Northern hemisphere) to make sure that the leaves are still green and the thermostat is still above freezing.

So, this is our final post and it doesn’t even come from South, Korea. We’ve landed in Ann Arbor, Michigan where there are still a lot of Koreans, but considerably less cabbage.

My gut reaction is that it’s nice to be back, but the Mid-West to me is still like going to another country. Norms are a little different, but I can understand what people are saying...for the most part.

The pace of life here is a lot slower than in Seoul, and that will be something that it takes time to get used to. There’s at least one Noraebang in Ann Arbor, otherwise Karaoke is open bar style.

It’s one thing to enjoy you and your friends’ singing—it’s quite another to listen to a love struck couple bellow Nikki French’s “Turn Around” into the entire sports bar.

Thanks for reading,
