With this upcoming Saturday marking my one year here in Canada, I've been debating a lot lately whether or not to return to Korea. It seems like everyone has their own opinion on my situation but the truth of the matter is it's my decision -- my life, my choice. Today I voiced my stress regarding the situation to several people in my life and their responses were all very different.
I was sitting out looking at the lake when I turned and said "why would I stay here in Canada, I have nothing here." He turned and said "you have me". I wasn't expecting that answer.
In Canada I have pleasure, in Korea I have business, maybe the two can never meet. Maybe you can't really have both in such extremes that I've been blessed to have. I have all my friends, safety and happiness here in Canada but in Korea I had a very successful career.
No sooner had I unloaded my stress about Korea to other person but then he looked at me and said "Korea is like the fake Asian. Like a pear that thinks it's an apple but it's not. " Probably both the funniest and most messed up thing I've ever heard about Korea...and I've heard a lot!
