Despite my super-official looking print-outs (and a whole bunch of pleading), the Korean Consulate told me they were unable to process a teaching visa in time for me to leave the next morning. They explained that it required at least 48 hours, no exceptions. I was totally bummed. I called up Matt Reckow, the director of the trip whose number Mike D. had given me, and he was like "Ok, well you tried your best. No biggie. Get on that plane tomorrow. We'll work it out." Hahahaha. Yes!
