korea
there is something sublime about flying high above the clouds, listening to cool stuff and the babble of excited talk in the background, and knowing that youre on your way home. yeah well, as homey as singapore-land and a sparse rented room can get. to tell the truth, i was even pretty psyched to see my mum and sis waiting for me at the airport. which was.. kinda weird.
anyways. the ten days in korea were pretty awesome. got to meet alot of new people, make new friends, etc etc. and i think i need to get out more. i havent had so much human contact in like.. how long. yeah. my sisters think im pretty weird: i quite enjoy watching movies alone, watching people alone, hanging out alone, etc. and so the last few days of the trip were quite a stretch, really. *what am i doing with such a huge bunch of people!* but anyways, like the psuedo-inspirational post this is turning out to be, i had an awesome time and i guess hanging out with other people can be pretty much fun as well. yup. i might even start going for nusso practices on a semi-regular basis. awshum.
anywaysies, here goes a brief summary of the trip: weird and wonderful food, blood sausage, takochi, ginseng chicken, lots of bibimbap, lots of not-so-wonderful food on the tour intinary (how the hell do you spell that anyways?), missing the last train back, uber-nice strangers, bitchy shop-keepers, rad graffity under the bridge, trying to catch harry potter but missing it, street after street of shopping, the oh-doesnt-this-look-familiar palaces, the thrill of being in the dmz, wishing we're able to be in north korea, hanging out and wandering the streets late at night, playing random fair-games, finding out that clubs in korea arent exactly one would expect in singapore, taking damn alot of section photos, walking the quaint streets of insadong, always making the two really nice friends-on-exchange wait here and there for us, learning the words for no pork,scratching our heads over the a-little-too-indirect marketing techniques over there, koping free packets of face masks and facial cotton, finding face shop and etude house practically everywhere, losing the tour guide far ahead of us, doing the lien pose, getting to know people i dont remember meeting one sem ago even though i feel like i must have, and so on.
as they say, pictures tell a thousand words. but i uhh, havent uploaded any yet. soon?
