There aren&#39;t a lot of big differences between the US and Spain, but I always have to adjust my notion of personal space when I go back-- for example, it surprises me when people who are two or three arms&#39; lengths away still say &quot;Excuse me&quot; when they pass in front of me. They are pretty good about waiting in line here-- when you enter a place where there is no obvious line (and soemtimes even when there is) you have to ask who the last person is to confirm your place.<br /><br />Life in China sounds pretty stressful in the day-to day, but I guess you just get used to it!katehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16975826433125245969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29198014.post-89668437441388271352011-03-21T12:10:28.131+09:002011-03-21T12:10:28.131+09:00Got it.

Because I left my email address and info on your blog, I&#39;ve been getting a lot of inapproriate and even threatening messages. <br /><br />Since I didn&#39;t login in as myself, I can&#39;t delete my own comment on your blog.

You know how I feel about writing...Good for the soul. I&#39;m in awe at your ability to navigate these three worlds and cultures. <br /><br />Right now my life is divided into happy culture and tired culture. Not nearly as exotic as yours so I appreciate your insight. And I know you do well wherever you are.Nicki Salcedohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08019279966340560178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29198014.post-47267625493537112272010-10-10T09:37:14.562+09:002010-10-10T09:37:14.562+09:00It&#39;s really good to read you again.Sandrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11249035692859813704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29198014.post-45844401947489430902010-08-31T17:31:47.027+09:002010-08-31T17:31:47.027+09:00Oh good, you&#39;re back!

Can you do me a favor? Can I ask you to post my link in your blogroll/sidebar? In return with that I’ll write an article for you which are related to your blog. In this way, we both can benefit since there would probably more visitors in your blog and mine as well. It would be my pleasure if you will accept my request.

Juggling a new life and culture keeps you guys busy, but then it means we get these meaty posts. Man, Aiden is totally showing me up. Unfortunately, I cannot take such a mature approach to parental 잔소리. Some day......<BR/><BR/>The conversations you guys have at home would totally entertain me. I love it when my mom mixes Korean, English and Spanish with her siblings. I would love to hear clips of you guys at home &lt;3Jae Younghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06931486423447616383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29198014.post-58358550421965888552009-02-16T12:37:00.000+09:002009-02-16T12:37:00.000+09:00Marie and Whitney, thanks for the comments! <BR/><BR/>Marie, I'd love to meet someday -- let me know if you're ever in Shanghai.

How's your sister? We miss our old neighborhood in A2. Aiden is indeed really big now -- he's up to my shoulder and his feet are as big as mine.

My mom sent me the link at some point awhile back. I enjoy hearing what you, KC, and the boys are up to. It seems like you maintain quite an adventurous lifestyle! Hope all is well. I will graduate with my master's degree in public health this May. I can only imagine how big Aiden is now!

I'm glad to hear about your impression coming back to Seoul after being in China. It is refreshing to hear people in the foreign blogger community talking about the Korea I know. Since you speak Korean, you can get so much more of a deep experience here. Sometimes when I meet foreign friends, I wonder if we are talking about the same country! Your experience with your bicultral family is fascinating to me, as it is something I am pondering myself. I'd love to meet with you someday, should you come back to Korea or should I be in China!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing your experiences, and keep enjoying with your beautiful family.Marie Frenettehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13713112609144406984noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29198014.post-50029951137379618062009-01-17T17:21:00.000+09:002009-01-17T17:21:00.000+09:00Hi. <BR/>My name is Misun and I am a student of MyoungJi University.<BR/>First of all I appreciate your consideration for Korea.
