Jeeheon's Final Entry (Must find jobs, argh)

I was absolutely obsessed with this blog for the past year - I think it's the tree falling in the forest with no witness thing. I risked, if not Bill's life, then at least his dignity to get 'blog-worthy' photos (Exhibit A - all of Bill's haircut photos).

My current sluggish existence at my parents' place in Seoul, on the other hand, consisting of sleep and TV is definitely not blog-worthy. Plus, it's strange how once I started worrying about little stuff like employment and health insurance, even I couldn't believe the sheer 'hippie'-ness of vagabonding for a year. I think I need more shoes.

I am thankful that we travelled through 25 countries and 120 cities without any serious injuries other than traveller's stomach's and couple bouts of rashes. Almost everyone we came across were nice, a few annoying and none evil. Actually, the most annoying people we met were other tourists.

In conclusion, this is what I learned travelling around the world in the past year:

IT IS ALMOST NEVER AS GOOD AS IT IS IN THE TRAVEL MAGAZINE PHOTOS.

But it was tons of fun anyway. Thanks for reading!
