call me sergei

i am still a nomad. i moved to daejeon on monday and began staying at a hotel/motel. after two days i was moved here, to the former apartment of my boss. it is a large 3 bedroom that i will inhabit for the next 2 weeks or so, until another, closer apt is open. so i still cant unpack but no huge deal. the view is great and i have a ton of space, 5 rooms and 2 bathrooms to chill in (plus a semi balcony). only thing is that ... well the only furniture in the place is my bed. no fridge, micro, oven, etc. i have a washer, but otherwise i am alone in this empty space. and i am still stealing internet from the neighbors. for this reason, i will still hold off on posting photos. (my camera works again!).

i have been sitting in on some classes at my work, which has been really helpful. its been great to see what i have been trained on applied (or not used at all) in a real setting. i am getting really excited to start.

the people from my work are really cool. today a bunch of us met up at about 11 pm (classes end at 1030) for an intense 2.5 hour game of soccer, korean style. this was followed by some very korean beer drinking outside the nearest convenience store. i had a really good time and surprised myself by not being as bad at soccer as i expected to be after such a long hiatus.


i think that my japan visa run date is now set for next thurs, although that, i have discovered, is really up in the air. i have to go soon, so i am really excited.

anyway, there is so much going on that i would love to get in to. i would also love to respond to your emails, but for the next bit while i am stealing internet, please know that i love you all and i will get back with you when i know i will be able to have uninterrupted internet.
