I can't actually believe my time in Korea is coming to an end. Bitter-sweet ending really! Feeling really happy and content and comfortable here and now it is time to pack up my little apartment and leave! :( I have met so many incredible people, learnt some valuable lessons, shared and relished in cultural differences and had some unforgettabel experiences!
New adventures and excitement awaits! Land of bon vin and bon frommage here I come- if my visa sorts itself out! EEEK!
But without any further procrastination from my studying, here are TOP 20 of my Korean moments (in no particular order)!
1. Snowball fight at Sindong Elementary school after the first big snowfall of the season! Let's just say my tea break between 10:40 and 11am has never been so entertaining~!
2. The exquisite and mind-blowing Lantern festival in Seoul to remember Buddha's birthday.
3. Rocking to Vampire Weekend, Belle and Sebastian, Muse and Massive attack at Jisan Rock Fest for the weekend!
4. Temple Stay at Geumseunsa with the monk called Stonehead and 216 bows later!
