My only goal is to not be eating soup made with dog meat.

I will probably be living in Korea 5 years later, the main difference between then and now is that I will never work evenings ever again. You could offer me gold nuggets and I would just throw them back at your head. I will never work evenings. I have a private tutors license here and a permanent residents visa status and I will use those to my advantage. I will lance myself out to companies for testing purposes (big business here) or else stay at home and let the rich kids come to me for lessons. No more working for the man. Just will not do that again.

And maybe by then there will be the pattering of a little ones feet. Thats a scary prospect but something the Mrs really wants so that might happen. My only concern about having a child is my preoccupation with linguistic development. I might analyse the language more than accepting my kid for what it is. Nah, just kidding there. Though linguistics is my thing.

Ive inherited a significant amount of land in the countryside so if it all goes pear shaped Ive always got the option to just retreat, and ultimately thats what I will do. Probably not in 5 years, but you never know when the armies might need to withdraw.
