Hi guys; I haven't been on thechipboard in awhile, and can't say that I'll be back again very soon. Our trip to Korea was nothing short of spectacular. So much so that I not only immersed myself in the culture while I was there, I was also inspired to go back to college (after a 20 year break) and take up Asian Studies with a minor in Korean Language. My first class starts on September 3rd, but I've already received my textbooks and have been downloading every podcast and Korean iPhone app I can get my hands on, and eavesdropping on every conversation between any Koreans within earshot. My husband is sick of hearing me practice already, oh well. I'm almost done with the trip report that I'm blogging on Facebook; coincidentally, I'm stuck on the writeup about our casino hopping adventures.

Speaking of, I have a few chips from Seven Luck (Seoul Hilton and Gangnam COEX) as well as one from Walker Hill that I'll make available as soon as I get a moment to scan them, as well as a couple other chips I have (including two $5 and under sets from Firekeepers).

And btw, I want to thank Lyle for his excellent advice on what to do and what not to do in Korea. That came in very handy, gamsahamnida!
