Reasons I must return

I already made the decision to return to the states in February, but every once in a while I get the feeling that I could stay in Korea longer -- having lots of job opportunities that would be almost too perfect for me isn't making it any better e.g. a coordinator position opened up for the headquarters of the TaLK program, but I decided not to apply for it. I'll be stuck in Korea. Too happy and complacent here.  I need to get back to the real world, start working on my non-existent career, and see my family and friends!


So..


I'm creating a list of things I miss back home to remind me why I must return to the states.


Starting off:

• Laundry. Washers here destroy my clothes, and dryers are non-existent.
• Non-moldy apartments and buildings.  The summer in Korea is super humid, so there is tons of black mold alllllll over Korea. *coughcough*
• Variety of food.  A fellow 5th gen who went back home to Illinois in September ended up visiting LA the past week.  I recommended a bunch of places to eat to which he ate at most of the places.  Just makes me miss eating those types of non-Korean, but fatty foods. Thai food, sushi, Yogurtland (Red Mango if there is any of those left!), Mexican food, etc.
• Oh, asked my friend, Ian, what I should add to the
  His reply:
  Me.
  Michael.
  Prentice.
  Sharmin.
  <3
  Haha, I didn't think I'd say this about him, but wutta cutie. The response, not him specifically ㅋㅋㅋ :P
• Which reminds me: Na-Jean, Gene-Young, sister, brother/sis-in-law, mother, AND other family members.. oh and, of course, my wonderful second family (i.e. my friends!)
• What else? Oh yeah, being able to flush down the toilet paper instead of tossing it in the trash. Not sure how I went from thinking of family to toilets... oh, well.
• SoCal weather!
• Lack of mosquitoes! I got so many bites (20+?) in a single week that I think I started growing an immunity to its bites i.e. I don't swell up anymore, and it's not as itchy.

Will add more. Currently writing my TaLK essay on why I love Korea ㅋㅋㅋㅋ~~
