Warning- Rant coming:
Last night was rough. I was up until around 3 am packing and trying to remember everything that I wanted to take while trying to make sure that everything fit into my bags. I’m not completely sure why last night it finally hit me. It’s like the moment that my [...]

yong-o-rul hahl-jool asim-ni-ka = Do you speak English?
jeo-nun han-kook-o-rul jo-gum-bah-ke mo-tahm-ni-da = I only speak a little Korean.

Now this place is hard to leave. The dumb Rockies are making it slightly easier with their penchant for blowing games in the late innings, but even then there’s been a lot of good memories here.
