I'm Back!!

Sorry for the lack of blogging lately. I've been really busy preparing. I'm leaving Korea soon, then I'll be travelling Asia and returning to England to build a career and home for myself. What's going through my mind? What isn't? I've been busy stressing, organising, thinking and working out everything for the past couple of months. Hopefully you can understand why I haven't been able to blog lately. And I come with good and bad news. You can choose which one you read first.

Bad news: I usually ask for the bad news first. I like leaving it on a good note when possible. So this post is to declare that I'm back and blogging again, however, like I said, I'm leaving soon and will be travelling Asia. So there will still be a lack of posts and I won't be able to blog while I travel for a month either.

Good news: But the good news is that I think I've come up with a solution to blog a bit more before I disappear for a month (I doubt I will have the time to blog while I'm travelling Asia). While trying to write new posts, I'm going to create two new posts that I will update as time passes. So there won't be a lot of new posts but ones with added bits. They will be about travelling and moving out. They will be about the preparation stages, what to do and not to do, and what to expect. Hopefully they will be helpful for first timers as well as experienced ones. Both travelling and moving can be stressful and complicated experiences. Trust me, I'm an O.C.D person and no matter how organised I'm being at the moment I can't help but feel like the mountain of things I need to still do is getting any smaller, nor are the things that I have finished doing seems to make me feel any better. So if you're new to either experiences or are scared you've forgotten something, then check my posts to help take the weight off your shoulders.

Also, I'll try to add some travel posts about my experiences in Asia after I've settled back in England. In case you're curious I'll tell you now where I'll be visiting. Macau, Bangkok and Phuket in Thailand, Penang and Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, Singapore, Kuching the East side of Malaysia, Taiwan, Philippines, and then Jeju Island and Busan in the Southeast of Korea before heading back to Incheon to say goodbye to my friends and leaving for England to say hello to my other friends and family. Yeah, I'm planning to do all that in 28 days. See why I'm stressing? If you know me you know I'm always stressing, but that's not the point. I think I have a good reason to stress right now.... For once...

One more thing about my 'moving out' post. It should be useful to anyone moving out, but I also think it'll be specifically helpful to people living in Korea that'll move back to their home countries. More specifically to any Brits living in Incheon. At least I hope so. To any 'foreigners' in or have been to Korea reading this will know that it's easy to meet Americans and Canadians in Korea but not as easy to meet Britons, and any British foreigner in Korea will know it's even harder to find useful information specifically for Britons. Such as regulations about our pension or tax, or how much it costs to send packages home or how to deal with HM Revenue before leaving and while in Korea, or knowing what are our rights while over here etc...
