almost home

I have about 2 weeks left and the only thing I keep thinking about is what I will be missing when I get home. So, in no particular order..

1) I'm going to miss Pocari Sweat. And Milkis. And Barley Tea. I'm sure I can find it at some Asian store back home, but the fact that it's ubiquitous here allows me to have it anytime I want.

2) Samgak Gimbap (Onigiri), the triangular rice balls one can find at any convenience store.


3) Public Transportation. Never once did I need a car here.
4) Not having to worry about my stuff getting stolen. I actually lost my wallet here and got it back in the mail a month later with everything in it! For the most part, people are quite honest here.
5) All the Korean and international friends I met this year. When I left last year, I didn't feel the same way for the people at home because I knew I would be seeing them again in the future. I will probably not be able to see many of these people again. That makes it extremely difficult for me to depart.
