On August 22, I returned to my home in CA. Just 4 days later, it feels like the entire adventure was a dream. Did I really travel to Korea, Thailand, Japan, China, and Vietnam? Did I really stay at a temple and bow 108 times at the crack of dawn? Raw Oysters? Snow slides? Rainy Busan? Seoul Adventures? Smoke bombs at the school fire drills? Making green tea? Cherry blossoms? Bathing in a room full of nude Korean ladies? Traditional markets? Students studying until 10:00pm? Rock, paper, scissors? Playing Badminton? Having chicken and beer during class? Karaoke at the staff New Year's party? Was Korea really my home for a year?
Yes, yes it was. I met some amazing people, saw some amazing things, and experienced an amazing culture. Do I have any regrets...NO. Would I do it again...I don't know. One thing I do know...
The best adventures of my life are those where I leave what is "normal" and enter a new world. A world full of obstacles that, at times, seem impossible to overcome. And yet, I make it through these challenges and emerge as a stronger, wiser, and more humble person. Many lessons were learned this year and I have confirmed that change is good. Take a risk my friends ---> Change...IS...Good!
