A Retarded Entry

Hey everyone,
I've finally returned from Chuseok (Autumn festival..5 day PAID holiday)
WOOOT!
I went to Busan/Pusan during the holidays and had the most awesome time w/ my trip mates, Lauren and Erin.

Also, the days before the Chuseok holiday, my computer refused to turn on,
so i had to send it over to the ASUS company to get it fixed
and...yeah...i finally have my computer back AND have the time to make a post :)

well, for the days inbetween...a lot happened,
including being yelled at by a korean man b/c i didn't speak korean...
assuming he thought I was korean
was not fun.
I was quite upset and depressed...
and so....Erin and I bought a dog;
Sophie Juliet Kelly-Ho.
We're both sharing her.
She's an insanely smart puppy who's already learned how to pee and poop on the newspaper...in less than 2 days!

But...i was never the best writer in summing up my adventures,
so here's Erin's blog of our days...of both
the days before Busan-Chuseok and Busan

Random pictures:
and.....here's Lauren and I being silly w/ the Hanbo



Me at a temple in Busan that was on a large mountain...
beside the temple lied a stream of fresh cold moutain water.
I climbed up the rocky stream and just sat there..
enjoying nature...the silence...just, everything
I absolutely adored that spot and i really didn't want to leave.
Erin took a pic of me at the moment of just....tranquility


I realized after that day of climbing up all those rocks...
the ease that i had with my extremities...
I will be trying my hand at rock climbing.
Cuz I climbed up that river and mountain quite fast..and i must admit, it was quite exhilarating.

Another realization I had while at Busan is this:
I'm forever grateful I chose Korea over staying back at Toronto.
I somehow felt imprisoned in my situation there and now...
my eyes are so open to new sights
and this thirst for new experiences and perspective is slowly being indulged.
My entire body, mind, and spirit has been re-energized.
I'm enjoying my time travelling..
and i'm not sure when I'd want to return now
thinking of what options there would be for me in Toronto,
and the absolute freedom and endless sights being at the other end of the world is giving me.
But don't you worry, my dear friends.
I shall return...
but i just can't tell you when.
Because I really just don't know.

At the hotel, we watched "the hot chick"
and it was JUST so wrong when we were watching the korean mom parts...IN KOREA!
hahaha "nigga prease"
*best part* i <3


lots of pics will follow...
once all of them have been uploaded
