Judith flew in to Korea on Thursday afternoon, and that night Patrick, James and I went to meet her and go out for dinner. I barraged Judith with a ton of random bits of information and stories about Korea- most likely completely overwhelming her.
I spent Thursday night at Patrick’s house, met his wife, his new baby boy, and we watched a movie and talked and smoked cigars- a great night. In fact nearly every night this past week was spent with Patrick and James, either drinking or eating or going to a jazz club- a really great last week!
Friday night was my farewell party. A couple people cancelled early on, and at around 8 or 9 it looked like it was going to be a sad lonely evening. I started to become afraid to answer my phone in fear of another person canceling. But eventually people started rolling in, and by midnight nearly all the real friends I made in Korea were there (with a few exceptions).
Overall it was a great night with great people- I wouldn’t have wanted to spend it any other way.

dude, i'm getting sad about not being there. totally a weird and unexpected feeling. i'm glad you're rockin it like a pure breed; too many slashies out there trying to make the cut, but looks like you're taking 'em to school. i'm proud to be your brother, and not in the literal sense. oh, and pass my greetings to Hansang... i miss that guy.
