Back to Seoul

Ok so the last I did an update, I was in Busan and Jinhae...

We got back to Busan late, so Jonathan and I grabbed some McDonald's and waited for Kim P at the train station... where I will forever regret not buying this at the Kakao Friends store. I don't even know what I would use it for but JUST LOOK AT IT.


The next morning (July 1), we had our last group session of the Mosaic Tour B. We were all able to share about our meaningful places or simply our experience throughout the tour. Heartbreak in some stories, joy in many, and healing in all of them. While I wasn't meant to be in Tour B, this group of folx have a very special place in my heart. And not just of bitterness either! Did I mention, only ONE PERSON GOT COVID on Tour B?

I digress. Where was I...

Stories shared, tears shed...

우리 한국에서 있어요~ // We're in Korea!

36 hours Our first 1.5 days already feels like a week. Returning to Seoul brought feelings of familiarity and belonging. I'm no longer scared of trying to speak the language and there's a huge sense of ease when it comes to walking the streets. I'm home but not. We decided to work remotely to save on PTO so we could be here for an extended time while experiencing what day-to-day life is like. Finally got settled in an Airbnb, our home for the next 10 days, which is plucked right out of a Kdrama alley. Living in the afternoons/early evenings, working overnight... we're surviving night 2. The sun is rising and the city is starting to wake up. And I'm ready to go to sleep. Day 1: 2 chickens Lunch at 큰집 닭한마리 (Big House Chicken, Yongsan). We ordered 닭한마리 (1 Chicken) which ended up being a huge shared boiling soup with a full chicken.  For dinner: chicken no. 2, hand breaded and fried with love @ Eongteoli Fried Chicken , Itaewon. Frie...

round 2

oh hi again. we're about to take off to Incheon and I've already cried twice today. I shared this on Instagram but wanted to share here as well. big feels for this trip... in a lot of ways I feel more ready to step foot in Korea for the third time in my life but in many many many ways I feel less so. the rollercoaster that is life never fails to surprise me. especially in these nearing mid-life years where I have such freedom to choose my path forward. thank you for being my friends, family, and chosen family through it all. and thank you to Wes who's encouraged me to be myself always while pushing me to be more. I guess I'm ready for takeoff.

Nature Stuff

FINALLY I SAW NATURE (& some other things) If you're a Kdrama fan, maybe you've seen Jirisan? Drove to a ranger station so I could pretend to be a hiker that needed saving by Jun Ji Hyun. On the drive to Gwangju, the fog settled in. Only slightly terrifying. Especially when a downed trees just showed up out of nowhere. Anyways, we made it to Gwangju safely. The next day we went to the Bamboo Forest in Juknokwon. It was likely the cleanest air we've been able to breathe since arriving. It was so peaceful.  THE OTHER THINGS Food of course. Noodles and dumplings Sushi with friends of friends. Bibimbap topped with beef tartare. Korean beef bulgogi. Short ribs at an obviously after work drinking establishment. Bibimbap topped with beef tartare in the Shinsegae mall food court. Dakgalbi with cheese, ramyeon, ttoek, sujebi,...
