Today I bought a bike. It might be the best decision I've made here. The ride home from work was exhilarating. The cold night wind blew in my face, making my eyes water and my nose run. My numb fingers grasped the handlebars, occasionally pulling on the brakes. My breath appeared in white clouds that flew by my head. My legs ached as I pushed faster and further down the road. I was a disheveled, runny-nosed, wind-blown, smiling mess by the time I got home, where I cooked a steaming plate of garlicky pasta with broccoli, tomatoes, and shrimp. All in all, I'm feeling quite independent and grown-up in my home of Anyang.

Nothing like riding a bike to give you the feeling of independence!
