lawsuit update

Right before I left Korea, I found a lawyer and signed power of attorney over to him, so that he could file and fight my case against my ex-employer for me while I was in the US. Not surprisingly, I won the case, and won the full amount I could ask for. Apparently, the judges (?) with the board were most upset with my story, it was one of the worst cases any of them had heard of. My ex-boss filed an appeal, and he lost that too. There's several million won waiting for me at this labor board-courthouse-whatever it is in Gwangju, which I can claim. After I pay my lawyer his share of it, I'll have enough to cover the 2 weeks of wages plus the severance payment I never received, as well as enough to cover the plane ride home. It's not enough to cover all the stuff in my apartment that was stolen, but I'm not complaining. It's just stuff, and all the replaceable things have been replaced (still upset that I had already bought souvenirs, which I lost). Important thing is that I'm vindicated. Feels pretty good.
I am now making an attempt to secure employment and return to Korea to finish what I started. I might be crazy and/or masochistic for wanting to go back there, but I miss it. I need to finish my to-see list. I know so much more now, that I think I know how to make it work, and how to avoid ending up in a concentration camp. Apparently I have a job offer- but I can't get my hopes up. Korea is weird, and things can always change. Even though I won my case, I'm not sure if Korea will want to grant me another visa. I just don't know, so my backup plans are to go to Mongolia, Japan, or Taiwan. My heart is in Korea, and that's where I want to be at this point, so wish me luck. Those other 3 places could be visited on a long weekend...
