6 months in

Well, I've been in Korea for nearly 6 months now. It's currently 2:43 AM and I'm leaving for Japan tomorrow night. Ever since summer set in, my sleeping schedule has been really off. The changes between seasons are so seamless, that I don't even notice them. But at the same time, each season is very distinct. It's kind of like a seasonal kaleidoscope - explosions of color, that are continuously changing. Spring was my favorite season so far, and I'm happy to say that it's still green because it's been humid and rainy for the past week or so.

There is nothing I have ever seen that I can compare to Korean landscape. The country side is absolutely breathtaking. The mountains, streams, rice paddies, flowers and nature here are incredible. I feel like I'm prancing through a Studio Ghibli movie.

The past couple of months I haven't been really traveling as much. I've settled into my life, and am getting used to this cozy city. Oh, you probably watched the news and saw that there was a MERs scare back in June. It seemed scarier on the news than it was here. Nonetheless, that's pretty much "over". And I've gotten into a routine of eat + work + sleep. Now it's summer vacation, and I'm trying to get back into traveling. And I'm getting really sleepy, so I'll just end this blog post here.

Here are some pictures, out of order sorry!
