Almost there!

The paperwork's done on their end, and I've got my visa pin number! Now I just need to submit some paperwork to the consulate here and get an interview. I wonder what sorts of questions they ask. "Do you plan on teaching well, or will you sabotage our kids' English-speaking abilities?" The answer is ALWAYS sabotage.

In other news, a Google News search turned up the following Korean news articles:

Holy crap, dude! Korea?! That's amazing/crazy/awesome! I had no idea you weren't across the country anymore, or, well, anything at all about you and your shenanigans.

Since you're in LA... You know Nick and I live like, 4 blocks apart or something, right? Not that we ever actually hang out for some reason. You should either get down here and see us, or tell me when I can drive up and see you. If it's gonna be another year at least, and your only a few hours away now...

And you should take up Tae Kwon Do again while you're there. I mean, then you can learn how to count to 10 in Korean! Oh, and how to scream really loud.
