There is South Korea and then some other

The sheep here.

The Mistress spent an incredible 10 days in South Korea with the bf and another 2 new friends of Ching. Plane hopping from Jeju to Gyeongju and KTX express train to Seoul. Such a fantastic experience.

Mistress thinks this trip has made her broke, but totally worth it. It's a beautiful country and really warm people. Oh, the food is awesome too!

She was worried about having to juggle different opinions and it's been rather smooth, with a few hiccups in between but nothing really minor, thank goodness.

Covered so many tourist spots, local cuisine, transportation (subway, express trains (KTX & ITX), ) taxi, bicycle, ferry, domestic flights and also a truly remarkable amount of walking, given her very much lack of exercise lifestyle. Made some new Korean friends who were really warm and friendly.

Mistress think it's rather sad, that she feels it's so much safer in a foreign country than back home. Her beloved country has truly fallen behind so many progressive countries.

It's also amusing that Mistress feels she's beginning to understand more about someone's personality. It sometimes bugs her that he's so keen on being sooooooo accurate in describing details and monies and time or experience. Sometimes, things that small a scale has no significant impact. Seriously. Or that he's so eager in explaining things that he's read somewhere. Or volunteering beyond his limits.

She say about half an hour and gets corrected precisely 23 minutes. orz. really now. Can that 7 minutes be such a big deal. Mistress thinks it'll test her limited patience in the long run, given, she does have a short temper.

But since this is short term, Mistress is proud she tried to keep it under radar and did try to cover his overeagerness in volunteering. Really, howlar does he want to juggle the map and the monies and all that spending? She has about given up, especially when he volunteered to carry her bag on top of his own 4 other luggage. orz.

But everyone has both sides to them, and Mistress thinks she definitely has lot of bad ones as well. Despite all that, Mistress felt very safe and taken care off the whole trip. She wonders if she will still experience the same feelings 50 years down the road. When one sees an old couple holding hands to cross the streets, it brings a sort of warmth and love to your heart.

Mistress feels that being loved unconditionally is an incredible thing.
