The End of an Era

Dear Readers,

I am now back in the United States, and will be discontinuing my blog, at least for awhile. I became critically ill in South Korea and had to return to the United States due to medical complications from my condition. It was very difficult to give up what was a very fulfilling job, a beautiful apartment, and even a new romance. We can only go where God determines we will go, however; or, as the eternal pessimist Yeats said, "things fall apart, the center cannot hold."

I will be taking the next few months to revisit my old blog and clean up some of the grammar and typos. I will be adding details along the way as I remember them. This is in preparation for publication. I have not decided whether this will be the form of a memoir or a "faction" novel. I may also try to clean up and publish some of my more interesting blogs.

I would like to know from my readers which blog entries they liked the best. My readership is not very wide, of course, but if you stumble upon my humble little blog, feel free to vote. Post your votes as comments, and I will read them.

Sincerely,

R.E.

    I really enjoyed your jimjilbang entry. That's how I first stumbled upon your blog, actually--I was googling the jimjilbang experience in preparation for my first visit in Seoul :)

  3. I just stumbled across your blog after googling 'skinship' and read through your (very interesting!) bathhouse entry. The Korean culture sounds fascinating and the details you put into your entries really bring it to life. I would say the bathhouse entry is the best I've read so far, thank you for sharing!
