Greetings and welcome to a new feature here at Long Time Gone. My plan is to scroll the archives and find an interesting post (well, as interesting as it gets around here) to share from this day in blog history. Don’t worry, this won’t replace my “dear diary” posts, it’s just a little something extra for you, my faithful readers. My selfish motivation is to start identifying some stories I might want to highlight someday in a self-published autobiography. That’s just an idea at this point, but you never know.

So, the first entry in this new series is from 15 years ago, back in the early stages of my life in Seoul, Korea. It’s called Those wacky Canadians. What I especially enjoyed about this post was the reference to some of the friendships I had made with some fellow bloggers. Alas, I clicked on the links and those blogs are no longer being updated. And sadly, I’ve lost touch with all of the individuals I mentioned. I guess that’s life. People come and people go.

Enjoy!
