Namsan Tower, formerly known as Seoul Tower (or vice versa...) Sweet view of the city. At the top couples "lock" their love there- there are thousands of locks on the fence!
I feel like there isn't much going on here lately- I'm living in Korea now- for 8 months? Everything feels normal to me now (I'm sure it's FAR from normal for friends/family in Canada- but I guess I'm used to it?)... I still feel like I just left yesterday yet my life has gone from homesick, to happy, back to homesick, to crazy party times, homesick, happy- what a rollercoaster ride! I can honestly say though, I'm pretty much the happiest I've been in as long as I can remember! I have some good people in my life right now and it's making things great! I know I can count on my friends/family back home, but it's nice to know that I also have people here in Korea I can count on- and for that, thank you.
Fall has been such a great season here. It went from being a RAINY, WET summer here- I felt like there was a time it rained for weeks (because it did- they call that "rainy season" for a reason)....Then one day, it stopped raining. The weather cooled, but not enough that it was cold- it was comfortable. It can get steamy here in the summer! I've really enjoyed the last couple of months- I've explored a few hidden jems, off the beaten path. I wish it wasn't so far from home- as much as I love it here, I need a little taste of Canadian soil before I continue my adventures.
I took a trip up to Seoul Tower recently with Jake- it was amazing (despite the efforts it took me to get there- with a population in Seoul millions upon millions, travelling can be HECTIC at times, not to mention the G20)...We were there at night, but you could still see the beautiful fall leaves- the weather was actually pretty mild still. It was so nice. We had dinner overlooking the city- such a great time! At the top of the tower there are fences with an observation deck and the fences are covered in locks with little love messages (clearly in Korean so I had no idea what they said..) It was still really cool to see!
