Winter Comfort

I’ve been blessed to have had Clementine come and visit me in South Korea for a third time. The first time was in May, the second time we went to Indonesia and around Korea during July and August and now again for Christmas.
I can’t express how grateful and lucky I am to have had her come and visit me over the festive season. Clementine stayed for two weeks. Two weeks that went by too quick and two weeks I wish I could have all over again.

My time in Korea is drawing to an end. We are now already in the middle of winter. The winter I was so terrified of, yet I am coping fine.

Clem’s visit was a great boost for my final leg here. I now have less than 3 months till I am back in Cape Town and then on to who knows what? 3 months that will go by just as quick as the past 9 months here.

I am having great experiences here on the Korean outskirts and being able to share it with a special person makes it even better.

 

I have one more vacation at the beginning of February and I am planning to go to China again. I will take the same ferry, but this time I will go south from Qingdao to Shanghai. I have not planned much and I am a little scared that I might not find a train to Shanghai as it will be Chinese New Year and everyone travels cross country to be with their family. It’s cold here in Korea and I will go by public transport to another cold city. When I get there the realities will unfold and I will make a plan, but for now I will only hope to catch a train. I’ll fly back from Shanghai to Seoul to finish my last 2 months before heading back to sunny South Africa and on to the next adventure…
