I've been neglecting this blog and took a hiatus from drawing when I came home from a trip abroad at the end of February due to job-hunting-- mainly, I felt guilty using any free time I had to do anything but look for a job. 

Now that I am employed again (at a law library-- my first day is this upcoming Monday, eek!), I've been putting ink to paper again and have resumed with journaling my travels around Asia with Colin. 

Random note: I've recently treated myself by buying this pen. I've heard a lot of good things about the Pentel Brush Pen before, but haven't been able to justify its price (okay, I know $14 for a pen isn't THAT expensive, but it is compared to Sharpies and Micron Pens). The Pentel Brush Pen is AWESOME. I've used brush pens, specifically from the Micron line, a lot before when I've been too lazy to use an inkwell/actual brush, but having actual hairs instead of a felt brush makes a whole world of difference in inking! Also, the Pentel Brush Pen takes refills when it runs out of ink, so it's actually pretty cost-effective. 
I looooooooove it.

Here is the first 1.5 days of the trip. It's going to be a long time to document the entire thing, but I'm chipping away at it.

Finishing this travelogue will take a while, but I'm enjoying the process so far. 
With it taking so long and having not even documented 2 full days of this trip yet though, China, Korea, and Japan seem so far away. 

In any case, here's a souvenir from Korea-- in order to go to the JSA at Panmunjom, you have to sign a waiver saying you won't scoff at North Koreans or, most importantly, point at them. Also, that the United Nations Command isn't accountable if you get shot/killed:

Since the histories between the U.S., Taiwan, China, South Korea and Japan are so  deeply intertwined and have affected each other so much (Cultural Revolution, Korean War, WWII, etc), I hope to be able to have that come across in my travelogue as it develops futher.
