More than three months have passed since graduation and the promise I made to myself has become a reality. I have finally stepped over into East Asia. The endless travelling that commenced even before graduation has still not come to an end. 
Graduation has long come and gone, but receiving welcome back emails from campus groups are still a sentimental and bittersweet thing. Unless if I return back to Vandy for grad studies, it`ll be a while before I visit Nashville again. It`s been a while since I last blogged, and now that I have a bit of time before I head to my next hotel, I`ll recount a bit of it. My Morgan`s late Senior Spring Break and Senior Week came a little before Senior Week and continued after graduation. During which we made two separate trips down to the Florida region. First time was to Miami and the Bahamas.... 
and..... the Everglades! 
then graduation.... 
Of course, it`s not the walking down the stage and the receiving of the diploma that is important... rather it is the gathering of the families and friends around great food!!! lol. Then, it`s off to Florida again, and visiting my godsister a few more times. lol. (and going down to Orlando) ^^ 
After making our nth drive back up from Gainesville, it`s back to Nashville... 
we settle into our apartment at the Grove Whitworth. 
After chilling for two months with the wonders of freedom provided by a car, not only did Morgan 709 discover new places in Nashville and enjoy the time spent there... it was time to move to the next stage. But first, let me go to the city and have a little more fun. 
I got to see, eat and spend an awesome time in the city with my big sib Jalin and her friends. (and ty of course) 
from the MET, to MoMa, to Columbia U, to Harlem, to Times Square, to Brighton Beach and all over... it was amazing. THEN..... It was the flight from Nashville to Seoul. 
Intensive training for a week and then the waiting for the visa code. But before the visa code came out, I headed out for the 21st ACT conference in Urabandai (see first pic). It was amazing! The food and scenery was breathtaking and the conference was very interesting. Individuals from all over the Asian region came together to talk about security, ICT, and financial issues. but of course... the most important thing was the daily onsen underneath the starry night. 
Now, I`m on the 7th floor of the Prince Hotel in the Yahoo! Cafe in Tokyo. 
Going over to the Ueno area in the afternoon while I wait for the completion of my visa. As to what else I`ll go see.... we`ll see. ^^ 
signing off for now. perhaps i`ll post again. |
