Changes.

Well the blog had a good run, but all mediocre things must come to an end.

I have purchased a domain name and will be switching over there when I get something "designed"

I will post things here when they are ready.

Don't worry all will be explained in time.

Wolmido is a place where we go on Christmas, because it is the only place suitably depressing for us. Where else can you think about your life and why you are in some unnamed forsaken country when you should be somewhere with a good job and a hot wife.

This place hit its prime at least 20-30 years ago...they are doing construction to try to make it hip and modern again, we'll see what it's like next year.

Here's a pic.

Afterwards we went to another friend's house for Christmas dinner, which was excellent. The only problem was that we were all the way back to Seoul when I remembered that I had forgotten by bag here in Wolmido and it took me 2 hours to come back to get it. Luckily it was Korea or else it would have been gone for sure. When I finally made it to the party friends that were in for the holiday from Switzerland made a surprise appearance.

All in all a good day. Not much content here, just Christmas stuff.

Freedom of Speech.

I just realized that I have the right to be able to say anything offensive I want.

I am so going to jail when I go back to Canada.

Google Earth

I just found out that if you type my youtube user name (thewingedeel) into google earth some of my videos pop up. I think thats pretty cool. Privacy issues be damned!

The New Plan.

One of my professors asked me today, about my future plans, and well I didn't have much of an answer to be honest, so I thought about my options and here is what I came up with. (This post is mostly to keep my peeps informed, and is in no way bragging or whatever, for bragging see the Turkmenistan posts from October-December 2008 ish, thems some bragging rights!)
.
After my degree (in no particular order after number 1)

1. Work in Korea for a few years to save money (if the exchange rate improves, please please let the exhange rate improve)

2a. Mongolia - Language school...

2b. Turkey - Language school... Travel around that area.

2c. Iqualuit, Canada - learn Inuktitut?

3. Get PhD with what I learned in Korea, Japan and 2a,b, and/or c.

4. ??

5. Profit.

Shit is really, REALLY, up in the air. But, if this works out, it might be a way to go home!

Oh, and those of you who don't know where Iqualuit is, look up, look waaaaay up...

Youŕe freakin kidding me.
