Still on the hunt

I turned down the job in Suwon because not only would I be the only foreign teacher but it is a brand new school. I don't want to deal with that kind of risk. It's high risk. So we're back to the drawing board.

Today I went for a haircut at a new salon and I was given a head, shoulder and neck massage. It was nice yet odd at the same time. I was glad I didn't have to make small talk with the hairdresser at least. I hate small talk with hairdressers and estheticians and all those people. But it's also uncomfotable to have someone servicing you like that without talking to them.

I'm bored so I started packing. You're allowed two bags weighing less than 30 kgs each (I think). So I have one duffel bag from summer camp, the size of which I do not know. And I have my big backpack from last summer's travels that is 95 litres. Really it's not that much space but I don't have that much stuff to bring. The duffel bag will hold all or most of my clothes and the backpack will hold my shoes, toiletries, and all that other stuff. I wonder what I'll miss the most from home. I can't think of anything specific that I'll really pine for. Some people crave chili powder or chocolate or Tim Horton's coffee but I don't care about any of that stuff so much. I'm not a brand dedicated girl unless you count my hair mousse. I think I'll be okay. For anyone overseas, what should I be sure to remember? I wonder if I should bring my soccer cleats and shin pads, though I haven't used them in years.

What's on the agenda tomorrow? Costco! Anyone feel like frisbee or soccer or something?
