On March 26, 2009, I left my life in America and moved to South Korea. I put my worldly possessions into two suitcases and a backpack and got on a plane. On December 8, 2012, I returned not to my hometown of Detroit, but to Silicon Valley, California, where I married an Indian engineer. In 2020, I divorced and moved to southern California. In this blog are my successes, failures, and observations of life in different cultures.

I don't have to explain myself
It's been about 2 years since I posted.
I got married, opened a burrito restaurant in Andong, failed, moved to Seoul and worked at Samsung C&T for 14 months, in the middle of which I left my husband; in January this year I signed the divorce papers, losing my visa and my job, had a little breakdown, blah blah blah.
Now I work at a pharmaceutical company at COEX Trade Tower in Seoul and am dating an architectural engineering major with a job waiting for him at Samsung C&T (where we met during his internship just before I got fired) next year, and I am trying to figure out how to move out of my overly expensive room in a luxury high-rise on the edge of the city.
I think that about sums it up. Now instead of having a "here's my life story day by day" theme for this blog, I'm just gonna post whatever the hell I wanna post.
Nice to see you all again.
Also, I appreciate the emails from strangers with questions about Korea, but I request that you do not add me as a friend on Facebook because I don't actually know you, and then I end up wondering months later, "who is this person?" and that's just awkward for everyone.
