Yup, I got them all posted to the Photo Gallery these past few days. Now, I’m going to go into the blog and post photos to the relevant entries. I’m nothing if not thorough (or anal, as some might say 
).
I’m keeping in touch with my friend Palm on Ko Sukorn, and he told me in a recent email that there are many tourists there right now. That’s great news and just what they need! He usually gets laid off during the low season (June-October), but finds another job in Thailand. He invited me to visit him wherever he might be working. I’ll do so. Right after or right before I visit Nai in Laos. It’s good to have friends in other countries, and if they ever want to visit Korea (or the Middle East) or the U.S., it will be my pleasure to host them.
I also sent in my first job application to the Middle East for a position starting in September. This one is at a university in the United Arab Emirates, a relatively safe haven in that part of the world. Pay is great, free housing, and many other benefits, including 2 1/2 months paid vacation. (Why is it that workers in Europe get all this marvelous time off from work and laborers in the U.S. are lucky to scrounge 7-10 days vacation time from their stingy bosses?)
The weather is still cold here, but tomorrow’s forecast calls for 1 or 2 inches of rain and temperatures in the high 40′s. Spring is just around the corner, I hope. More later.
