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!

I enjoyed every step of your journey... well maybe not the speedo pitcures. But the rest of the steps, those were good.
Thanks for blogging! We got excited every time we saw you had a new post. We're bummed that it has come to an end. We wish you both the best in whatever you do now.

I've loved following your adventures, and even though we've never met, I'm sorry your trip is over. Good luck rejoining the working world! :-)
I learned from your blog that when you travel the world for a year, you gain a lot of freckles.
I also heard that when you travel around the world for a year, you get third world skin.
this is boring now...

Wow! I know it is a bit late, but ... I just caught up on all the entries I hadn't had a chance to read. You've finally finished your trip! I'd love to know how you two are going adjusting to the "real world" and "working" again. Feels like a zillion years since we came back from ours!
