Hello, Hello! It's been a while here :) I am currently sitting on the plane while I am writing these words haha! It's November, I just finished my "vacation" trip, and now it's time to go back to Paris. I can't believe I went to Seoul again and... Tokyo too (OMG)!!! But first of all, let me focus on Seoul a little bit. I already traveled to South Korea in 2019 and it was one of my best trips EVER. I met wonderful people, discovered another culture, local food, some beautiful cities, and landscapes.... But, to be honest, it wasn't really in my plan to come back there soon, because I absolutely wanted to visit other Asian countries like Japan for example :) But as the borders were still closed in Japan because of the Covid situation, we agreed with my friends to come back to Seoul, without any specific plan, just to relax and enjoy the life you know... And why in autumn? Because the weather is definitely better than in summer (too hot) or winter (too cold haha).
To finish, this new trip to Seoul, allows me to visit places where I didn't go to in 2019 like the traditional district of Insadong or the well-known Namsan Tower. And most importantly, I really cut with my daily life, take time to reflect, and also think about what I really want in my life and what is important or not for me... I hope you enjoy - Assitan <3
Ps: as you may know, many people died and were injured in the Itaewon tragedy on the 29th of October. My friends and I were in another district that night, but it's still really sad and shocking news... This could have happened to anyone and everywhere. It could be me, it could be you, it could be us... Of course, we can't "predict" these kinds of things but if you feel uncomfortable in a place, or with certain people don't hesitate to leave!
May they rest in peace.
