life outside the empire...

i'm sitting on a new leather office chair in my own office next to my new computer (provided by the university) in south korea. true story.

sometimes i think it's all just a dream. the people have been incredible here, and my buddy adam and i are getting pretty good at tying ties, using chopsticks, and bowing when we meet people. nevertheless, i'm sure i'm a walking cultural blunder. i'd love to tell you all more about it, but i have to go to a faculty meeting here in a bit (yes, i'm a full faculty member, and my students call me professor van zee. crazy!).

in the meantime, you can check out my personal blog at justinvanzee.blogspot.com or my friend's at adamvangelder.blogspot.com.

oh, you'll notice that the sub-heading of this blog has been changed to a quote by walter brueggemann. i read "the prophetic imagination" on the way over here, and he's got some good insight on the nature of the prophetic voice. a great read--and a short one too.
