I can't believe we've already been in Korea for six months. Our official six month "Koreaversary" (as our friend Jessica likes to call it) is on the 28th of this month, but we're practically there! I know that leaving will be bittersweet, but I am honestly super excited to come home. That's not to say that we don't like it here or anything. There will definitely be things we miss about Korea. I'll miss the fact that this will probably be the safest place I will ever live, period. I'll miss the friendly and generous Korean culture where people will give you little gifts or start a conversation with you in the elevator, at the store, on the street, or pretty much anywhere. I'll miss the fact that everything in Korea is extremely cute and I can easily find a spatula with a smiley face on it, pens in the shape of puppies, or kitten oven mitts. And, I know that Doug will miss all the cheap street food and beef dishes here!
But....I can't wait to be back in sunny California where the avocados are abundant and our friends and family are just a drive or phone call away. I'm counting down the days and we only have 192 more days till we're flying back to beautiful California! That's not that far away, right?
Here's a few pictures that I feel really capture the beauty of Korea and the rural/urban mix throughout the country.
