As I mentioned two posts ago, I am now set to temporarily return to Los Angeles later in the week, and have a confirmed reservation. However, my current stay in Seoul has already broken the record for my longest stay outside the US. I've been here 34 days now, and the last time, it was 32 days - back in 1994, also here in Seoul.
However, I will need to book a ticket back to Seoul as soon as possible, so that my meditation regimen can immediately continue. I'll contact my travel agent's Seoul office to see what can be worked out; alternately, I will also check fares over at United Airlines.
On a better note: General Colin Powell is now supporting Obama.
