왔어! We're back in Korea... Finally! We do both love to travel, and curiosity takes us all over the world, but our style is less vacation (relax-y) and a bit more adventure (excursion-y) so we didn't come back well rested with bright eyes. That's for sure! But we slept almost all weekend, and by Monday, J was off to school and I had a million errands to run. And it just felt so right. It felt great that our friends and co-workers were excited to see us and welcomed us home "왔어!"
It really was a bit of a surprise to both of us just how refreshing it felt to be back in Korea. It hit home for us, I think, just how at home we are here. We've built quite a little life for ourselves. There are a few things that are still a little rough, though. We both still jump and skip a breath when a motorcycle passes by, and the cold was pretty hard to readjust to. And waking up before the sun is brutal. But it's all worth it to be back to our comfortable day-to-day in our sweet little apartment.
As you can assume, there isn't much to tell in this first week back. Though there was a full moon and I did learn from my Korean friends that there are certain foods you absolutely must eat on the day of the full moon to keep away the ghosts (bad spirits). So next month keep in mind, munch on nuts, chestnuts especially, lest you be stuck with a ghost till April.
Have a great week everyone!
