Strolling Sojourner

I'm coming back!

In less than 10 hours from the moment I'm writing this, I will be on a plane, again. This time I'm headed towards South Korea for a duration of one year.

For those of you who don't know, this won't be my first time in Korea. In 2014, I stayed in Seoul for 4 months as an exchange student. It was the time of life. 3 years later today, I will be stepping into the same grounds as an English teacher. I had been planning this since January this year and with some hiccups, my dream has finally come true.

My school is situated in Ulsan, which is a little less than an hour's ride from Korea's second biggest city, Busan. As it is a coastal city, I am expecting my coming year to be comprised fully of seafood and beaches as long as I find my beach body. I am super excited for what this year will encompass in an unfamiliar city and the trips I will be going on! Follow me as I go on this wild adventure!

Ps. I am writing this at 2am in the morning so please excuse my grammar. I will definitely come back to edit this >.<

No matter how many times I go back I don't think I can ever get used to how humid and how compact everything is, not to mention there are so many people everywhere. And though I speak perfectly fluent Cantonese, it can still get frustrating as I am forced to translate everything in my mind from English. Another thing I cannot get used to is the portion of meals. I had never had a meal where I felt I was completely full when compared to Canada. However, there are so many options to choose from, so I should not be complaining as I got variety for exchange.

I am only complaining because I have seen the city so many times, but trust me, this city has a lot of charms that I have yet to discover. This is just a little teaser of what Hong Kong can be like, but is not restricted to what I am showing here. For those curious, visit the city once for yourself and you'll know what I'm talking about. I will definitely also be coming back to unearth more of Hong Kong's magic.
