The answers to all of these questions are as follows: fine, yes, more of the same, not yet. The long answers, however, will be forthcoming in the next few weeks, as will some practical info about biking in Japan and Korea in case anyone's interested.
In the meantime, though, just to keep everyone up to date: we've made it to Seoul, where we begin our job teaching English tomorrow. Eleven months ago, we left a good job in The City, (where we were) working for the man every night and day. Now, we're in another The City, working for a different The Man. Alas, that means that there will soon be an end to these particular Amazing Tales, and those thrilling stories of globe-hopping and running away from snakes will give way to slightly less-thrilling stories of cute children, grammatical mistakes, and weird toilets.
Of course, the original plan was to take month-long work breaks to fund our greasy, showerless way of life, but considering how difficult it's been to find a single long-term job (to say nothing of buying fancy new clothes to wear to work, such as a third pair of socks), we've opted to pack in all of the capitalist goodness into one long year. In a year's time, we'll have socked away enough cash to get our rubber back on the road, but for now, settle in for more English teacherly goodness.
Until we catch up to the present, expect more from our time in Japan and Korea, followed by the aforementioned protips and some flashbacks to our time in Missouri and California. After that...well, if we run out of material, maybe I'll just put up some of our old posts, replacing "Japan" with "Korea" and "Godzilla" with "kimchi."
