About a week till departure.
As to whether I am looking forward to it or not, I haven't quite decided yet.
Seoul's a bit of a enigma to me. With it's shopping, available activities, (such as theme parks) and amazing night scenery, it seems like the perfect holiday spot.
But then again, when I see the blackened trees, polluted air, (especially noticeable in the brown sludgy snow that is inevitable during winter) and solemn, living-in-their-own-bubble people; one can only wonder, is this really the sort of place I want to spend eight months?
And yet I always end up deciding that it is.
Why? Because of my habitual snacking, reading of manhwa (comic books in Korea), seeing of family and all the other enjoyable activities I have up my sleeve.
And who wouldn't want to see taxis spinning on the sleets of ice during winter?
And plus, I have an affinity for tall buildings. So this time, I'll go to Korea and take some snapshots to show all of my friends back in New Zealand what Seoul looks like.
Looking forward to sending care packages though!
