Goodbyes Cont'd

Goodbyes in your home country are different than goodbyes in a foreign country. Each time I say goodbye to my friends and family in the states I know full well that I will see them again upon my return. In one sense saying goodbye to people here in Korea has been more difficult than back home. Odds are I will not see a majority of these people ever again, so it truly is a goodbye. We were at the same place during the same time and now we part ways. I value the relationships formed here, but due to the nature of our lifestyles and location we may never meet again...although I hope that our paths will cross in the future.
