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…

A Very Special Visit

Clementine came to visit me here in Korea just after my orientation in the beginning of May. It was the greatest thing I could ask for. I had just settled in and her visit was a great boost!

She stayed for only one week and the time flew by real quick. It was an amazing week that I will not forget.

There were a few things I’d wanted to do in Seoul City and her visit was the perfect opportunity to go and explore more of Seoul.

It was at the ideal time as we had a public holiday that week which broke the week up perfect for some sightseeing in Seoul.

We had an awesome memorable time together and she’ll be here again in the just over a week when we’re planning to visit Indonesia for 2 weeks during my summer vacation period. Fun times ahead! Level of excitement = extreme.
