It's been a nutty, quick, chaotic, fun, (insert any adjective other than calm) past week and a half. I've finished work and said sad goodbyes to my kiddos and my co-teachers. Tears were shed, gifts were given and received, a ridiculous amount of beef was consumed, Hong Kong was visited, shopping was shopped, islands were hopped, delicious foods were eaten and big Buddha's were seen.
I finished work on August 31st and went to Daegu to stay with Myung Mi and her family for two days. The weather was crappy but we went temple tromping in Milyang and ate ridiculous amounts of food, like 5 full meals in one day. My tummy was about to bust.
A few days were spent in Seoul, buying last minute prezzies and seeing some friends from home. I heart Seoul. It has such a fresh and renewed sense of energy, I suppose the same as any big city. It's always a welcome surprise from the normal and constant rigamorole of Gimhae.
Hong Kong was great. A city that boasts sky scrapers and an amazing variety of food that my pallet partied with. I stayed with Eric and So Hang which was so generous of them. I permed my hair, something I swore I'd NEVER DO AGAIN. But alas, I did, and it's fun and different. I shopped at H&M (I shouldn't have, I don't need anymore things and definitely don't have room for them). Overall, a wonderful trip. Pictures will up soon so I'll post the link then.

Back in Korea now.
Heading to Pohang for more farewells. Saying goodbye can be very exhausting.
Home on Sunday. Be prepared for it. BAM and Bye bye.
I'm so excited for you. Reading this gets me PUMPED to travel.
