There really is no place like home.
Friday night I arrived back in Toronto, and boy does it feel good to be home. I had a reverse culture shock for a day, and then everything subsided. I couldn’t help myself but compare every little thing about Toronto back to Korea. From the variety of food, to the intense multiculturalism of our city.
The next day (Saturday), I went to my friend Jennifer’s birthday party and then immediately headed downtown to Ryerson to watch the new dragon boat crew.
It was nice to see fresh faces. I view the dboat team as my baby, and will always do. When I used to be in charge, I worked countless hours into the team… til the point of absurdity and obsession. Conversations would only be orbiting around the dragon boat team… haha.
As I have travelled, there really is no major difference in the goals that all of us are trying to achieve. Personal growth, money, a loving relationship, some solid friends, having some stuff and if possible: a great family that you can always count on.
In the final words of Conan O’Brien before he left the Tonight Show: “Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.”
Oh yeah, and NO, I DON’T miss Korean Food. YUCK.

I don’t get this because I’m Asian (being Chinese helps you mix into the crowd), but all my non-Asian friends do.

On Monday, January 4th, the largest snowstorm in Seoul arrived with over 25cm to destroy Korean’s everyday lives. Compared to Canada, this is just a normal snowstorm. Here’s a news video of the dramatized chaos… heh
On another note, watching Koreans using picket signs to shovel snow, and umbrellas to guard against the snowfall was an interesting sight indeed.
