    Frost

    Got up this morning and there is heavy frost on the ground.

    Fuck.

    Temperature was claimed to be 4 degrees but didn't feel like it.

    First day I have had to wear a warmer jacket. Sadly I forgot a jumper to wear to work and now have very visible nipples.

    I may have to put the heating on for the winter soon.

    Spoke to the old admin in Thailand and she said it was getting cold there - fuck off it's cold here.

    I love a fresh, cold but not too cold - sunny morning.

    I miss HK.

    Nothing so drastic! When temp drops below 30 C, just remember to zip up the fly; that'll stop the draft.

    Yes, I am still planning on coming to Korea. But I will miss the Winter.

    My plans is loose but follows: in a couple month I"ll ship the light stuff home. Then fly to the U.S., visit folks, then go to Korea.

    I want to fly their first and then get a job in Seoul, instead of choosing a job outside of Korea.

    The possible new regulations should be no problem, as long as the it doesn't take too much time.

    I am still researching a lot, and am on korea eslcafe almost daily, reading, but rarely posting.

    My plans can change, and I might stay where I am at, but I need a change. New things, new stimulation. Saving also.

    How about you?

    Are you still going back to the UK? Staying in Kor, or going somewhere else?

    A cuppa warm cocoa?

    A still-warm teabag, tied gently around the base?
