So Busan was great. We saw four movies and it cost us 2만원. Total. There were problems with the double feature on the beach so we got our money back for that one. None of the movies were very good. I saw Japanamation for the first time. We saw a Korean movie from the 60's that was interesting as a relic. ㅈ and I spent 5 days together. But none of this is what has been on my mind.
ㅈ wants to go to Canada on a working holiday visa. I am thinking about going with her. I, however, cannot get a WH visa because I was born in the 70's. The idea of spending a year without her is painful beyond words. I really want to go with her but Canada is the second to last place I want to live in (America is last) and it would mean dealing with visa issues. However it would be very possible to go there and come back here and get a job at another uni (or even the same one). I have enough money to even not work for a year (but it would be a waste of money and what would I do?) I have been lobbying for a year of travel which has been on my agenda for awhile and though more expensive would be a lot more fun. I had been thinking of moving to the English department in Andong next year. I could teach the classes I really want to teach and the English students here are begging me to do it. But, of course, that would not be possible.
It just feels like there is too many decisions and not enough information to make a decision. My head is spinning.
Plus, I found out that a foreigner I knew in Seoul died this weekend. It has been a weird day.
