Closing time

Once again, I find myself writing just as I am about to leave another wonderful experience and realize that I have completely slacked off on keeping up with the blog.

I didn't write about visiting the post-adoption center, where I was able to play with babies who are about to go to the US, but aren't in foster families.

I didn't write about the adventures of street food in Korea, with their wonderful fruit smoothies, weird hotdogs covered in french fries, mandu, sundae, and tteokboki.

I didn't write about my research and what it's like to chase down organizations in the middle of summer when there are a million events going on and nobody really has time, but is kind enough to make time for you.

I didn't write about all of the friends I've made and how much I will miss them when I go back to the US, how I'm worried that the next time I come, they might not be here and how sad that makes me.

I didn't write about how I am excited to escort a child home, making a full loop of my experience.

I didn't write about being sad to leave Asia and my journeys behind, but happy to be back with family and friends, sharing what the (mis)adventures of the past five months.

Well...actually I think I did just write about those things...even in brief. Maybe I'll go back and write more about them later. Or maybe I will continue this blog with the (mis)adventures into which I always find myself stumbling. Or maybe this is the end of both my trips AND my foray into the blogging world...I'm kind of awful at updates, but I hope you were thoroughly amused anyway.

Here I go, back to the US in 1 day, back to the Incheon airport in 5 hours, back to Seoul in 27 minutes. It's been fun.
