Autumn in Pyeongtaek

This is what it's like,

to live in the Pyeongtaek countryside

in the fall.

Basically, it's pretty damn beautiful.

I DID IT!! I learned Korean!

I am pretty proud of this piece of paper here.

I did it.  I completed the KIIP language course.

Hardest thing I have done in my life.

Of course, learning the language 

doesn't mean I understand everything.

For example, I didn't realize 

it was like a real graduation ceremony.

So here I am.

The idiot in zombies and sweat pants

at her own graduation.

There it is.

So beautiful.

Of course, now the real work begins.

Next step, culture class...
