This entry is not as saucy as the subject title suggests. Anyways, I've touched down in Korea. I literally got off of the plane yesterday morning and immediately started training in my jet lagged stupor.

I'll have to wait a few days until I can mail everything out before I can clean up, which leaves me a bit frustrated. I never used to ( Read more... )
