Airplane pt. 2

We left Seoul this morning sad and exhausted. At least I did. Even though we left on time, it still felt like a frantic race to the airport by direct subway. We got to the departure gate literally as we were being called to board. As the plane took off, I took one last glance out the window and felt that rush of both excitement and sadness.

It’s been a wonderful trip, an experience of a lifetime and I’m so glad I got to spend it with Nia. We came to South Korea with eyes, minds and hearts wide open and it did not disappoint. For us, the only thing that would have enhanced the trip would be if we knew more of the language — and that’s not on South Korea, that rests squarely on our own shoulders! In truth, the people of Seoul and Busan tried harder to effectively communicate than we did. People who helped us or welcomed us were abundant and sincere, heartfelt hospitality was shown without regard.

Seoul was fast-paced, sultry and hectic and a combination of contemporary and ancient within a city block. Seoul was beautiful. And it’s also a place where I left a tiny piece of my heart today ❤️Les mer
