Goodbye Korea

The last 5 days have been a blur. I have escorted my parents around Korea, introduced them to soju, explored ancient temples, and endured transportation nightmares. And now, it is over.

I leave Korea in just a couple of hours. I didn’t think it would happen, but tears are rolling down my cheeks as I type this (in the pc room, because they disconnected my internet service a day early, fitting).

I will miss the shuffle of slippered feet. I will miss the school children accosting me with “Hellos!” as I walk down the street. I will miss the food, ah, the food.

And all the bad, the negative, I will not miss. But it will soon enough be forgotten. Goodbye, Korea.
