So, everything is set in stone. I have my flight ticket booked from Toronto back to South Korea for August 27th. It will be a fast 1 and something back home for the wedding. Then, year two of this adventure. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. But, there is a lot of promises for the next year to come...
Most of my kids are really excited about this news. Even though some of them try to mask their emotions... I know they love me! Some of them warmed my heart with the biggest of big smiles when I told them. Put everything into perspective, I get another full year with these lovelies!
I have officially started to settle in, although anyone who has been to my apartment, always says I've made it homey. I honestly haven't bought a lot of things i normally use (blender/oven) because I was under the impression it would be a year. And by the time I had extra money, it was 3-4 months in. Now that I know I will be around for another 13 months, I've started to "settle in". =)
I've booked my trip to the Philippines for my summer vacation, wish I didn't have to work after, before going home. It was kind of expensive, $1100 for the flight and vacation package. But, I think our private coaches will treat us well =) We will be seeing Palawan and Manila, and doing an island hopping tour (my highlight)!
I know this next year will hold challenges, resolutions and changes, I am truly looking forward to finishing my Korean studies with great people. Traveling to my country, China, Australia, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia and trekking across Europe. Lets see what's in store for this crazy little Chinese person from a town outside Toronto!
