Preparing For the Move Part III: Final Prep

Time until I make the Big Move: A little less than 2 days.

I'll tell you something, this whole getting ready to move to another country thing is EXHAUSTING.

Not only have I been running around trying to get all the last minute things that seem at least minutely necessary, I'm up and about making lists for packing, trying to arrange necessary numbers and accounts for keeping in touch with friends and family, and trying to pack while holding down the urge to unpack, recheck, and pack everything again.

When it comes down to the wire I start getting slightly neurotic. I already have a difficult time making a decision between things without the proper time to compare, but it gets downright ridiculous when I'm stressed. A trip to the face-care product section of Walgreens yesterday with my Mom proved that. What should have been a quick 'grab and go' turned into a 30 minute ordeal of comparing products, reading ingredients, and sniffing each face-care option before making a decision, changing my mind, and then making another decision.

I ended up changing almost every brand of face-care product I use out of stress, and towards the end of that excursion I had a sneaking suspicion that my Mom was ready to force feed me a valiume.

What's New?

If you're an expat in Korea and you're interested in learning more about what there is to do in your area, especially if you're new to an area (like me), you'd benefit from visiting Life in Korea. The link will take you directly to the Busan Activities and Events page, but you can select your area by Cities or Provinces, or you can choose specialized areas such as Buddhist Temples, National parks, and Night life.

Not only does each link give you a description and rating of the location, it also lists simple directions to help you get there, this is especially useful if you're sometimes directionally challenged (also like me).
