Well, the year is slowly coming to a close and I think now is a perfect time to reflect on 2007. I picked up these questions from my friend Samarra’s blog. Here we go!
My 2007
The year is ending! So answer the following about your year:

I was in a relationship, but I knew it was coming to an end.

Teaching

Yup, I went for malaria pills which in turn had me back in the hospital since I had a bad reaction to them.
5) Did you have any encounters with the police?
None
6) Where did you go on vacations?
China, Cambodia, and I guess Korea counts as a year long working vacation? Nah.

Yes, I moved to Korea! Duh!
11) What concerts/shows did you go to?
I saw BBoy Korea, The Beijing acrobats, Jazz at Club Evan’s and Once in a Blue Moon, the Seoul DJ festival, a suwon Martial arts performance, the drunken antics of my expat friends in Itaewon which is a show no one should miss and the drama of this Korean guy I dated which was something I should have passed on.
12) Are you registered to vote?
Yes, but the primaries are in 2008!

My birthday shatters all preconceived notions of what birthdays should be about: my birthday mourns the passing of another year so lets all break out the black clothes and Morrisey CDs.
16) What’s one thing you thought you wouldn’t do but did in 2007?
Go to Cambodia. Seriously, that country was so far off my radar not even Angelina Jolie‘s adoption habit kept it in my thoughts.

Seeing the majesty of Angkor Watt.
18) What’s something you learned about yourself?

The month I went to Cambodia! Which month was that? July? Yeah, July, maybe.
