With the disappointing news that my application to the UBC Film Program was denied, my major will remain the same: Asian Languages and Culture (with a focus on Chinese). I can focus more on becoming bilingual now.

So I’m doing some soul-searching and planning for the future here in Seoul, among large ancient palaces and towering modern skyscapers. I’m thankful for the benefits of travel: learning more about the world and learning more about yourself. Koreans are a hardworking people and I greatly admire and respect them for this.  Also, the movie theaters here are really impressive. Big screens,  big posters, high quality sound, polite staff, and many comfortable seats make the “theatrical experience” certainly rival Hollywood, if not surpass it. I saw “Speed Racer” here, the Wachowski Brothers’ film. It’s fun and I recommend it, but rest your eyes before seeing it. It’s one heck of a ride.

For all of the other travelers and people soul-searching out there, good luck in finding what you’re looking for. Let’s find our place in this world, so we can make it a better place.

Cheers from Seoul.
