When I thought it over I realized it's scary on a different kind of level than usual scary. I had carefully considered all this when I decided to travel solo out here and taken into consideration I'd have to travel alone too. But it's not that I'm afraid of being alone, afraid of traveling to unknown places, afraid of getting lost, etc. Its not as concrete as that...tt's just terrifying on a base level to be so completely isolated (no language, no phone, no wifi) somewhere so unfamiliar, having to rely entirely on luck many times just to get somewhere. I should've saved the cross-country traveling for my next visit here and stuck to Seoul this time...well now I know :) Thankfully I have my HERO Yeji 언니 who keeps saving my silly foreigner life over and over again haha. I don't know how I'm ever going to repay her at this point...
Traveling is really not my cup of tea when in a foreign country :/ As wonderful and exciting all my new experiences have been, the days when I have to travel and move from place to place with all my heavy luggage are equally as frightening and difficult. It's like both sides of the coin. I have to rely entirely on friends to translate, which is also difficult because I can only contact them when I have wifi...e.g. NOT while I'm actually traveling, which is when I need help the most lol.

I don't know how I'm ever going to repay her at this point... I've encountered other foreign travelers of all kind during my trip here but they are always adults, usually a couple. Today I met two foreign kids! There were two cute little French boys (twins) and their dad on the bus with me going back to Seoul. It was so fun to listen to them jabbering away at each other in French. It really puts a new perspective on different cultures because they are still regular little boys climbing like monkeys all over the bus and irritating the adjummas even if they are fluent in a different language. It's awesome being back in the city with all the signs, crazy colors, cars, people, subways, buses, shops, restaurants, and just THINGS. Everywhere :) After such a nice relaxing week by at my beachside resort, I'm ready for the hustle and bustle of the city again. On to Hotel Cozy Myeongdong!

Seriously, what kind of chickens do they breed here in Korea? These were regular-sized brown eggs on the outside, but one I cracked them, they had SUPER dark orange yolks. These are not yellow folks, not even close. I was like O.O the first time I cracked it, I couldn't believe how bright the color was haha. Even after I scrambled them, they were orange scrambled eggs. Taste the same though :) People said that the thing I would miss the most and the very first thing I would begin to miss was burgers (or essentially, any American food). But really the thing I actually miss the most is...my car. I miss driving! I miss being in a car. I miss being the controller of where I am going. I miss being in LA traffic jams with a gazillion other people in cars packed all around me. I miss singing at the top of my lungs on the freeway. I miss cursing my GPS when I didn't hear it correctly and missed my exit. Because all of that means I am still IN my beloved cute little Prius (and have the 3G network for the GPS, which is the second-most thing I miss lol).
It's been exactly one month today since I landed in Korea. It feels both much longer and much shorter than that. I have adjusted (as much as possible in a foreign country) to my lifestyle here in terms of meals, explorations, living conditions, weather, clothing, etc. So it feels like my temporary home for now, making my stay seem short; in a sense, I can't believe it's already been a month! But at the same time when I think of how I was when I landed, it feels like I've come much much further than I could've in a short month. I've gotten to do many things I never thought I would have the chance to do! Seriously though. As weird as it sounds, I miss my car and being behind the wheel. As my family and friends know, I LOVE driving. I don't know whether it's because I'm Asian or because I friggin love food, but I'm totally not sick of Asian food at all. I have had only one craving for American food this entire trip, and that was my one meal at Burger King. I did have pizza that one time but it wasn't because of an American food craving (I wanted to try Korean-style pizza) and it didn't taste like American pizza at all. In all honesty, I love the variety of food I've been getting...and the fact that KBBQ is EVERYWHERE :) It's like boba; if I happen to want it, it's usually somewhere there. Again, back home I'd have to go hunt in downtown LA for a place. I finally made it out to the beach today, after having some fun climbing around on the rocky bluffs on the sides of the resort. It's freezing cold today and very very windy, but I bundled up best as I could and wore glasses to keep the sand out of my eyes. It was gorgeous being down where I had been looking from my balcony for the past week! There's nothing like the brisk, cold, seaweed smell of the ocean spray, up close and personal :)
As you can tell, I had a reallllly good time down at the beach haha. I felt as playful as a little kid, running around everywhere with the waves crashing and my hair flying everywhere.
Farewell Seorak Beach; thanks for the stunning views, peaceful days, and fresh breath of sea salt air in between stays in Seoul :)
![]() Why are their foods so 1) CUTE and 2) DELICIOUS here?? We get gross donuts or stale pastries in wrapped little bags in gas station stores, but they give fresh, soft, adorable packaged goods. How do they keep them so fresh and soft?? The one on the left is a strawberry spiral cream roll (delicious), and the one on the right has mini cream-filled sandwiches (also delicious). Why am I even surprised anymore by the epic level of food quality here...
Random photos of things I notice while I pack to leave my oceanside sanctuary ![]() Top left: Berry iced tea today! --- Top right: New type of ramen I tried today...fancy! it had three separate packets with dried green onions/mushrooms/beef bits/water chestnuts or something/peppers/other veggies, the seasoning mix, and what smelled like super hot bright red extra spicy seasoning stuff (I left it out lol) --- Bottom left: My first attempt at using a Korean ATM! Took me a few tries but eventually I located the English button and was able to use my Visa card :) --- Bottom right: Spent today organizing my clothes for more efficient packing...I've accumulated quite a collection hahaha. I should just give up this pharm technician/teaching abroad business and become a personal shopper for a living.
I bought three new nail polish colors while a Nature Republic sale was going on, and couldn't decide which to put on...so I used them all!! Haha the weather is turning chilly so I generally stick to my browns, blacks, plums, and dark reds during this season, but since I'm beachside it's like I'm bringing a little summertime back :)
All the nights I've been here I've seen and heard fireworks going off on the beach below. I wrote briefly about them previously, but it's seriously so cool watching from the balcony. It's like a private mini-fireworks show every night! The fireworks are the white exploding type and are mini, since they only explode not far over the heads of the people launching them on the beach. They must be safe, since it's usually families with kids that are launching them. I wonder if they are expensive... I'm finally getting settled in here and I have to leave again soon. This is the problem with traveling haha. At least I was not here long, so packing will not be the day-long process it was back in Gangnam. Now I just need to eat all the rest of my food here in the next day!! Quiet - cho-yohng-hahn 조용한
Outside - pahkk (eh) 밖(에) --- "eh" is the "place" marker, like "de" or "ni" in Japanese. Waves - pah-doh 파도 Disclaimer: Pardon the cheesy. I tend to do that sometimes lol. Again, the stuff I write on my blog is basically what goes on inside my head...so while I apologize for it, I'm still going to write it lol. This blog was started for me to record my trip and exactly how I acted/thought/what I did when I was 22 and abroad for the first time, and thus it will remain. It's been really quiet here in Seorak, so I've been doing a nice bit of reflecting here with nothing to distract me. Therefore, this post is unrelated to my trip in Korea (it's just a long-winded recollection of my college experience, triggered from my remembering it's Halloween) and is totally unnecessary to read unless you want to (read: went to UCSB with me & will understand why I'm rambling on and on annoyingly about this lol). I've realized that listening to waves crash and waking up/eating breakfast/cooking/reading while being able to glance up through the sliding doors and see ocean will forever remind me of college in Santa Barbara. How freaking spoiled were we by our college's location, fellow Isla Vistians? ![]() Halloween in junior year! Obviously I was crayons one night with some girlfriends. It was a success :) We actually came up with some seriously creative ideas over my four years in IV...I was even Captain Underpants one night :D Where are all my 90's kids at who know who that is?!?! However I have neither the time nor the patience to find all those costumes and post them lol. So I was having my usual early morning cup of coffee and watching the weather report on TV when I glanced at my open laptop and noticed with a jolt that, what the hey, today's...Halloween?! This has officially got to be the weirdest Halloween I've ever had in my life. And with my last four Halloweens being spent in Isla Vista, this statement has some merit. For all of you who are unacquainted with an Isla Vista Halloween, there are no words to describe it. Grab your best buddy, pack an overnight bag, and roadtrip it to Santa Barbara pronto. That is all. For those of you who are acquainted with an Isla Vista Halloween but have never experienced it, I'm delighted [and very sorry for all the parents 0:) ] to say that every single one of those rumors of what goes on is 110% true...and then some. Not to worry, it's all in good fun. I will be the first to admit we're young, silly, and sometimes irresponsible; however, we aren't stupid. We have all made it out of them unscathed (for the most part) and with many a fond memory (well maybe not so much memories, but we have that saving grace...pictures!!!). For those of you who are acquainted with an Isla Vista Halloween AND have experienced it...who else is grinning in amusement and feeling twinges of nostalgia for the utter madness that was Halloween? :D There's nothing else like it, except maybe Floatopia in freshman year, before the school started banning it. They're been cracking down on Halloween in recent years too. Buzzkills. Don't they know that all work and no play is no good? I live by my Dad's words of wisdom: "Work hard, Play hard". I always knew my Daddy was the smartest guy in the world :) Remember running around in moshpits of people dressed in costumes (the term is used tentatively here) that stretch for blocks and blocks and blocks, avoiding police officers on horseback (and their poop, ew), being blinded by the giant white floodlights placed every intersection so people don't run over each other (they still do, the lights are superfluous University board, but nice try), walking in a long line holding the hands of your group of friends so you don't get lost for the entire night in the massive swell of humanity pressing in from everywhere, enjoying parties, dancing, house-hopping, chastising the hated out-of-towners (haha sorry, it still makes me grin how united all of IV was in our dislike for them) for that quintessential no-no of sitting on the curb (duh, insta-arrest), then waking up the next day, downing a Gatorade, and preparing to do it all over again? (Halloween is generally a 3-4 day holiday in IV). Instead, I am sitting at a glass-topped table, sipping coffee while the news is on, gazing at the crashing waves of the ocean, IN KOREA. What. People say college is the best time of your life. I definitely enjoyed every single one of my so-crazy-but-was-totally-normal-for-SB college experiences. I made memories I will always cherish fondly, and grew up on so many levels in those 4 years. Even thinking back now, my life in IV had so many aspects that were surreal, but that my fellow Isla Vistians & I totally took for granted because it was the norm for us. Even when we suffered with coffee-driven all-nighters, endless hours spent everyday in long lectures, tedious study groups, and the infamous library (Ah Davidson. Pretty sure I clocked more hours in there than I did in my houses. I will never again not treasure an electrical plug after having to fight for them there for 4 years), we had so much good stuff to balance against it...like studying out on the seaside bluffs, going for runs on the beach, watching the sunset over water from your balcony, hiking up by the SB Mission, and having all your friends living just a few houses away when you want a beer or some froyo. But I still don't think that statement about it being the best time of my life applies to me. I think the best times of my life are yet to come. It's like taking old childhood photos and making them into a scrapbook. I will always remember them happily, but they are what has been, not what will be. It's not a disregard of all college taught me; it's the starting of the next half of my life, the second chapter, the sequel. And I'm already making a dent in those good times while abroad now :)
It is rainy and cloudy again today, but I don't mind :) It's warm and cozy in my unit, because of the AWESOME Korean way of floor heating. So you don't hear any clanking or whirring of a heater, you just suddenly feel comfortable and like the airs fluffy. Lol, it's the coolest thing ever. Especially when I'm standing still somewhere for awhile, like by the stove, and suddenly I can feel my feet warming up underneath me!! When I get rich in the future, I am ABSOLUTELY going to hire some Korean architect and have my future house include floor heating. With my sliding doors cracked so I can hear the ocean and rain pattering, today was one of the most lazy comfortable days of my life. Watching my favorite movies and eating and drinking to my hearts content. Haven't been able to do that since I was a little kid :) In college, there's always work to be done, or something due, or notes to look over, or some form of studying I SHOULD be doing, even if I have nothing concrete due. Just the absence of that hanging over my head is blissful. Also, these are the things I kept meaning to post about that I picked up in Insadong last week! I got this cool Rubix-cube looking thing from a handmade goods cart (Nicky if you're reading this, this is for you. I immediately thought of my Rubix-sensei when I saw it haha). It's not a Rubix cube at all, but it opens up and you can bend and twist the blocks in all different ways. It's hard to explain but it's awesome. I was playing with an example one at the cart for ages. I also got an elegant ceramic boat bowl from a pottery shop for my Dad, since I know he likes these little dishes and can make use of them. This was unique in its shape and coloring, and I really liked it! I picked up these really well-made silk pouches for myself and my Mom, and a bright turquoise leather mini-wallet (for one of my purses that is tiny...my regular wallet can't fit in there lol).
I totally just had a moment of true Korean hilarity. I'm sitting in a wifi spot outside one of the elevators when a group of old Korean men (I'm talking gray hair here people) comes strutting/dancing out the elevator with PSY's Gangnam Style BLASTING out of one of their smartphones hahaha. I was utterly shocked at first watching them, but they just kept on trucking all the way to the front door, like nothing at all was strange. Yea, a bunch of old grandpas have got an international kpop song WAILING out of your tablet-sized smartphone as they Gangnam-Style out the front door of my fancy-shmancy resort. I am SO in Asia... I'm exploring the resort more today; the sign in the lobby says there is an Aquarium on the lower basement level, a Library, a Marina, the OceanSpa and of course the beach. So far I've found what seems to be the Library. It's got books, benches, and a row of computer desks. There was supposed to be a cafe of sorts but I can't seem to find one...there's also two fancy restaurants but I don't know if I'll end up dining at those. Not necessary haha. I'll check back in when I have wifi again and have found the rest of the place :) -Also, for those who understand this: the host at the front of the fancy restaurant "Ashley" in my hotel keeps walking around the lobby calling the next people on the waiting list. I almost fell out of my chair the first time he walked by me because HE LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE KEY. He walks like him and his voice sounds just like him. His hair is like Key's during the "Hello" era in color and style. I am tripping out right now. Put him in a waiter uniform and sports blazer with FBI-like earpiece and he is strolling by me riggggggght noooooow. Wtf??
After the horrific nightmare of the last two days, some peace, calm, and quiet was all I needed. And that is exactly that I get here. It's possible I could get bored soon, because it's so quiet here compared to the city. But for now, it's just what I want. The bright sunny skies and sound of the waves crashing reminds me of Santa Barbara; it's really the most beautiful place out here. If I need some fresh air, I just walk out onto my balcony (I always have the doors open to catch the nice breeze) and watch the ocean. The temperature is just right too! It's remarkably warm for end of October, since it should be full on-autumn right now, and starting to dip into winter soon. I'm just in a light long-sleeve and jeans, and I can stroll around comfortably all day. I wish you could all feel the cool wind on your face and smell the fresh, salty air with me...maybe if you try reallllllly really hard my thoughts will reach you :) After three weeks of nonstop people around me, people in the subway, people in my hotel, people at the restaurants, people asking directions, people in the malls (you get the picture), it's really strange to have such an absence of people right now. It's neither worse nor better than when I was in the city, it's just...different. You know? I hear children playing on the beach all day, and families lighting fireworks on the beach at night (apparently here, fireworks are totally legal for recreational use! I saw some by the Han River the night I went there with Dajeong. SO COOL. I suppose Korea's residents must be more responsible with such things than Americans lol, otherwise they wouldn't be allowed). Eating curry and rice for dinner was the awesomest thing ever. I feel like I haven't eaten a solid meal in a week, but really it's only been two days lol. It's really nice having a stove and sink for a change. I made do in my last hotel, but this is much more efficient. Also, is it weird that I am now cranky that I have to walk so far to the bathroom? In the last hotel, the room was a single room with bathroom attached (like usual hotel rooms). But this is a resort unit, so it's more like a mini apartment. I now have to walk through the living room, through the kitchen and into the bathroom...this feels so far for some reason hahah, maybe I'm turning into a true Korean used to limited space. I spent my afternoon and evening watching movies on my laptop and drinking tea out of my nifty new teapot. I really love this thing, it's well-made and such a cool design. It also doesn't drip at all, a problem that I have found with a lot of teapots I've used in the past. Once you pour your drink, it drips from the tip of it's spout so I have to keep mopping it up or keep a towel under it. This one is drip-free :) Today while I was sitting in the lobby typing this up, about 5 or 6 adjummas and halmonis (grandmas) came by and sat around me. Unlike most that I have thus encountered, these ladies were really friendly and very nice. The grandma sitting down next to me said something in Korean and then sat really close to make room for her other friends. I can't understand her but I knew enough to happily move over to make room for everyone else. They were staring fascinated while I typed on my blog and when I finally got up, all finished, they tried to say something to me in Korean. I apologized similarly, also adding that my Korean was not good. They went "ahhhh" and kept looking on with interest so I felt obligated to say more lol. I told them I was 23 and I was from America, at which, they all went "Ahhhhh" and looked at me with MORE interest and lots of smiling haha. It was the funniest thing. I bowed plenty of times and then said my appropriately respectful goodbyes in Korean for their age group, and made my exit. Usually the adjummas that I have encountered here in Korea are NOT friendly and not nice to me. I don't know why they hate me so much, but it really feels like they do. Most of the young people I have tried to interact with are friendly and try to help, as well as the adjusshis (middle-aged men) and grandpas I have met. Lots of them think I am a gyopo (a native a Korean who lives in America), so I have to set them straight by telling them about my lineage on my father and mothers sides (which includes zero Korean lol). Many of them even try to help me further than my one question I was asking, curious about me. But my tourist experience with adjummas is not good, not good at all. Lots of them just turn their back on me, or stare at me like I'm a bug and then curse about me to their adjumma friend (or that's what it sounds like anyway lol). Meh. I'll stick to the young 'uns and grandpas, thanks. rice - pahb 밥
grandpa - hah-rah-buh-jee 할아버지 grandma - hahl-muh-nee 할머니 ocean - teh-yahng 대양 tea - chah 차 I woke up at 8am this morning, feeling a little disoriented but better. My room in Gangnam had been dark (if I didn't turn any lights on) in the morning, with the only window being shuttered. That's why I affectionately referred to it as my cave :) I could usually hear cars honking in the distance and some random chatter from streetwalking pedestrians. Here though, there are curtains and sliding glass doors, so some soft light filters in. The sound of the waves is also very loud and soothing, with the occasional child laughing or shouting on the beach. Whoa. Totally different morning experiences lol. When I got up, the next thing I noticed was that I was sore ALL OVER. Looks like I pulled quite a few muscles lugging my 5 heavy pieces of luggage everywhere yesterday. I had picked up a really nice teapot with cups in Insadong the other day (still have to post all my stuff I bought. Later though), so I made some tea and sat down to write down everything that had happened since I left Gangnam. The only place with wifi here is the 1st floor lobby, so I will go downstairs to post this and put together my pictures once I'm done. I sent you a message last night Momma, when I went downstairs to get food, but I don't know if it sent. The wifi even in the lobby is spotty I think... Because we are out in the countryside and I have no wifi, I think I will take today and just relax. I had planned to explore the beach, venture downstairs to find the Library I saw posted on the direction board, find a coffee shop, and check out the OceanSpa they have here, but they can wait. This no wifi things is the hardest thing for me to handle. The rest is fine, it was just a little shocking when I first arrived because I had been used to Gangnam. If I had arrived here first when I came to Korea, it'd wouldn't be so strange. But having no wifi takes away my only means of communication with anyone really, because I can't call and have no 3G network out here. So in the meantime...there is a rice cooker included in the unit here, along with pots, pans, cooking utensils, and dishes. For the first time since I have arrived here in Korea, I'M GOING TO COOK. I have never been so excited to cook again haha. For that, I need to head downstairs to the convenience store to get ingredients. Side story: while I'm sitting here in lobby typing all this up, this tiny tiny little Korean baby boy bounces us next to me and jumps (I'm talking flying-squirrel-style jumping here haha it was SO FUNNY) onto the couch next to me. I smiled at him and said annyoung and his little face just splits into this giant grin. BABIES ARE SO CUTE. He was the little bright spot in my confusing morning haha. Little Korean babies speaking halting and grammatically incorrect Korean is so cute too. It makes me think about American babies and comparing if they sound as cute when speaking baby English words. Maybe I just don't notice lol.
Anways, annyoung to my new home for a week! The next morning we had to wake up at 7am to catch a taxi to the Apgujeong tour bus station. Thank you again Yeji for offering to take me this morning!! Not only did she have to wake up early but she had to wait with me in the pouring rain for the bus!! Because yes, of ALL DAYS, it chose to pour rain alllll dayyyyyy today. She found the right bus for me and talked to the driver. I would KILL to be able to speak Korean fluently these days, it makes my life downright difficult not being able to communicate. Yeji was my Korean Guardian Angel this trip haha, I don't know how I will ever repay her. I am so blessed in life to have good friends around me :) Once on the bus I felt calmer, but still anxious because I didn't know if I'd be able to recognize the stop and because of the enormous amount of luggage I had with me that I now had to carry alone. Everyone else on the bus was, of course, not international so they all had normal little duffel bags and such. Roughly 4 hours later, we arrived in Gangwon-do, a coastal province of Korea that is more countryside than city like Seoul. The change is extremely obvious; it was fascinating to watch the streets and signs morph into lush greenery and streams. Still raining (unbelievable timing you tricksy Korea weather god), we pulled up to Seorak Beach Kensington Resort, the second to last stop for our bus. I was the only one who got off, so I pulled all my luggage along with me to the front doors. There were STEPS. God help me. I had to unload all my bags, drag each giant suitcase up the stairs one by one, then go back for my bags and put them back on the luggages. Checking in was quick, since Yeji had already checked me in by phone yesterday and all I had to do was show my guest certificate and get my room key. God bless you Yeji again haha, I would have been lost without you. Even when she's not physically with me she's still helping me. I LOVE THIS GIRL. Lugging all my things to my room was again, a chore in itself but once here I could finally relax and unwind. At least as much as I could, with my nerves complete on end and utterly frazzled. I didn't even feel like myself. I was extremely stressed, lonely, and confused. I wanted to go back to Gangnam and my comfortable Noblesse Yeoksam hotel. This feeling only intensified when I got inside my room and found out there was NO WIFI. SERIOUSLY?!?!? My unit was very spacious and quite nice. The view is INCREDIBLE; I had luckily been given a room with an ocean side view and on my wide balcony I could see ALL the way up and down the beach and far out into the ocean. It was lovely, and one of the few things that calmed me down upon arrival. I also found out there there are no tissues here (they use rolls of toilet paper in Korea), no shampoo and conditioner (I had been spoiled by my stay at Noblesse, where they provided giant things of shampoo, conditioner, AND body wash for me everyday), and only one size of towel...hand towel. Good thing I'm short and don't have much body to dry off, or I'd be seriously screwed... The unit itself has a nice little kitchenette with table for four, a living room with a giant TV (apparently bath towels and tissues are not necessary, but the giant flatscreens are always key here haha. Another difference in culture!). The bedroom is also really nice, with a separate sliding door to go to the balcony and a vanity set off to the side. The doors in here are really cool, like a double paned double sliding door (to keep the cold out of the bedroom I assume). Fancy! Also the sliding door in the living room boasts this cool little handle/locking mechanisms in one. If you pull the handle to the left and up around, it unlocks and opens. To relock the door, you simple close the door and pull the handle left and down around and it relocks. So efficient dude, why don't we have these?? No separate locks to deal with or fiddle with they get stuck! Yes, I'm looking at you Palm Desert Marriott Villas... The showers here are something I touched on during my review of my room at Noblesse, but now more than ever I am realizing how Americanized Noblesse was (when I thought it was already super Asian and shocking to me lol). How naive of me. Due to space issues I presume, Korean bathrooms and showers are one and the same. There is a drain set in the center of bathrooms and the shower is usually not partitioned at all. You shower standing in front of your toilet. In this hotel, there is a small glass divider though. In Noblesse, there was a whole tub you stood in to take your shower, so the only real difference was that there was no shower curtain. That is why they give you shower sandals...because once you take your shower, the bathroom floor is now all wet and you can't go in without sandals on. I have not gotten used to this yet, although I really like the no curtain at Noblesse for some reason. It made the bathroom feel really big, light-filled, and less claustrophobic than with a curtain. I am just chalking this shower/bathroom thing up to a learning experience though, and treating it like an adventure -.- I don't know how to explain the weirdness, you cant really understand unless you are standing here and having to use it like me lol. It's REALLY REALLY STRANGE @.@ I don't mean that in an offensive way, it's just not what I'm used to haha.
By 4pm, I had not eaten since a muffin this morning and I was tired, irritable, and lonely. I figured the best thing to do was eat and go to sleep. There's two restaurants here but they look pricey, so I just dropped by the convenience store on the 1st floor and stocked up on snacks and tea. I ate, showered, and went to bed by 5pm. |
