Flying Away Again
Wed, 25 Jun 2008.
Well dear blagoblag, I leave for the airport in approximately 5 hours. This time tomorrow, my bestest friend, Diana and I will be in Seoul. After a week of seeing a few of the touristy sights, eating the food, butchering the language, fumbling the customs and perhaps seeing the DMZ, I will be in Hong Kong for a few days. Then it’s back to Korea and on to Seattle.
Some of you might be surprised at this news because, truth be told, I haven’t really said anything about it. I haven’t thought about this trip at all. I got tickets, I got my passport; let’s just go already and we’ll figure it out when we get there. I don’t even have my first night of accommodation lined up. Worst comes to worst, I’ll either sleep in a sleazy “love hotel” for a night or abuse my credit card and check myself in to a big hotel chain.
I hear South Korea is one of the most connected nations around and there’s broadband all over the place. This probably means I’ll spend a decent chunk of my money in internet cafes. I might end up blogging more than I usually do. Crazy, huh.
That’s the best way to do it. Just pick up and go. :)
Hope you have a great time! I’m kind of jealous. I haven’t been to Korea yet.
post lots of pics! and have fun :-)
DS: I don’t know anything about Korea! If there’s something you always wanted to see in Korea, it would be pertinent that you make this website privy to such information.
Maxie: I will try! I hear Korean guys can be pretty hot so I’ll try and post some of those on the website for my overwhelmingly female audience here.
have a great trip!
SEOUL. yes. good for you.
i have been dying to go back by myself or with a friend and really discover the city as a young 20something. instead of, you know, with my family where i am always ms prim and proper.
i’ll expect a full report when you return. and if you want some really cool ways to pick up all the korean ladies, know that i can basically teach you nothing because all the korean i know is formal as hell.
(p.s. this “I got tickets, I got my passport; let’s just go already and we’ll figure it out when we get there. I don’t even have my first night of accommodation lined up.” is totally the way i do it too. can’t wait to hear about all your adventure and i hope you have a relatively safe trip! as in, please don’t wake up with a kidney missing but feel free to do all kinds of crazy shenanigans so the rest of us can live vicariously.)
omg exciting! i guess if you need a place you could always stay with one of my crazy relatives lol.
have an awesome time!
