Thank you Korea for
sharing your beautiful mountains, seas, and cities,
dissolving my sense of personal space,
increasing my tolerance for spicy or fermented foods,
teaching me how to use chopsticks when eating noodles,
introducing me to interesting and kind people from all over the world,
making me laugh every day,
reminding me of what I hold most dear,
reigniting my patriotism via yours,
schooling me in the art of the Asian queue,
and giving me a wealth of unforgettable moments.
I already miss you.
Over a year has passed since I arrived in Korea. Less than a week remains until I depart... for Thailand.
Here we go.
