Certainly not the first thing that came to my mind when I thought of going to Korea, but it seems like this is the topic on the minds of most of the female doctors, nurses, optometrists and cleaning ladies that I have been talking to as I prepare for my trip. They all seem to think that I am going to go to Korea for a year and come back married.

I heard it for the third time today, as I wandered out of the dentists office. I was looking a little like two-face or Sylvester Stallone, my face warm and numb. I asked the lady if there was anything else that I needed and as a fair well, she calls out, "Now I don't want you to come back married!"

This is very silly, I think. I suppose meeting your true love could happen anywhere, but in the next year? Somehow, 23 years into this whole 'life' business I feel that is unlikely. After all, even if I do meet someone, how long will it take for us to get together and if we aren't 'ready', then at the end of the year, we will probably break up and go back to/stay in our respective countries and never see each other again... Though, I suppose it's a nice thought.
