A catch up

Well, I'm home again. Home being the UK. My Korean exams went surprisingly well and I passed relatively comfortably. I was even surprised enough to find my speaking score was better than my listening score. Can you adam and eve it?
Once I go back to the UK, I had some job exams to take care of and made it back to good old Burgess Hill. Before I could even stop to breathe and take it all in, I was back in my old job. I wanted to work in the public sector so maybe it's destiny that my company has nearly been nationalised. It's only temporary while I wait for the endless process that is job application. (Why do they take months to do? Do they think I can just sit and wait?)
I had been warned that coming home would be depressing and I'm pleased to say that they were right. It is very very depressing. I don't know if it's the fact that I only really have a couple friends left in my hometown (they have moved away) and that they are pretty settled down. I just feel as if I'm going completely backwards here and after listening to peoples conversations about Jade Goody or Dancing on Ice, I'm dreaming of getting away. Unfortunately, my awesome adventures took their toll on my bank account but there is a slight possibility that I will spend 3 weeks in Portugal in the summer and a weekend in Paris to meet up with the J's. I have to look for small pleasures in life.
Well thats the catch up. Thoroughly boring isn't it. Well at least you don't have to live it.

My advice. Never go home!!! Missing it is better than living it!!!

Oh one small note, anybody that uses Google Earth a lot will probably of tried adding various layers and kml layers. Well here is a link to a really good one on North Korea that highlights various buildings, military units and even suspected gulags.
