In my last post, I commented on the homogeneity of South Korea regarding the lack of foreign food available. In this post I will assert my observations about Korean fashion that I have accumulated in the past 9 weeks and how I believe Korean fashion also contributes to the homogeneity of this country.
Looking at our older posts, I realized I may not have fully explained why Sharon and I quit our Silicon Valley jobs and are now planning on spending a year (minimum) traveling around Asia. I wanted to take this opportunity to explain further. In my inspiration post I wrote about how my once-a-year 10-day vacations […]
It was a fast, fun, exhausting, and bittersweet weekend – filled with a couple parties, a TON of friends and a lot of goodbyes. It’s Monday night now; Sharon and I are sitting at SFO. Our plane has been delayed 2 and a half-hours due to the weather here. Two posts ago, I wrote about […]
I’m writing this on Friday, my last day of my cubicle job! The to do list is essentially complete. Here’s an update: Things to buy: Steripen - Thanks to my friend Scott, we were able to get the Steripen and a few other items from REI with a nice discount. Thanks Scott! Things to sell: […]
Our first stop in Asia is Hong Kong. I thought I would fill everyone in on the upcoming fun we’ll be experiencing to get there. A few months ago now, we were searching for the cheapest airfare to almost anywhere in Asia (we had no preference on where to start). We were able to find […]

Sharon’s sister, Onion Jennie, came to Sharon and myself with an idea to pitch our travel plans as a show to The Travel Channel. When I heard about this, I couldn’t believe the irony — independently, I had been thinking the exact same thing just a couple days earlier but had not mentioned it to […]
It’s all starting to feel a little surreal. I was in the gym today and realized that this will probably be one of the last times I workout in that particular gym. It’s a strange feeling. I’m so use to my routine that it’s hard to imagine not getting up in the same bed, not […]
Things to Sell: The next two weeks are all about selling our stuff! Car - I’ve listed it on Craigslist, but haven’t heard much of a response. I have a 2005 Honda Civic Hybrid with carpool stickers that allow you to drive solo in the carpool lane. The car is valued around $11,000 and I’m […]
I’ve had a few questions recently regarding how much money Sharon and I have saved for the trip. Between both Sharon and myself, we were able to save $50,000. It’s difficult to say exactly how long this took. All of the stock I’ve accumulated with my company went into the trip savings, but roughly, it […]
