It's Only a "See You Later" Not a "Goodbye" - Blog Assignment #8

As of right now, I am on my flight back to America, and I already miss South Korea. Many thoughts run through my mind; thoughts of happiness because I will get to see my friends and family, thoughts of sadness because I’m leaving my favorite country, and thoughts of bitter sweetness because the friends I’ve made here I won’t be able to see in a long time. This has been one of the best months of my life and now that it’s over I really have no regrets. Of course I did not get to do every single thing I wanted to do, but why rush things when you are enjoying every last minute traveling the country you love. This trip has definitely determined my future travel plans; I have already decided that I am going to come back to South Korea. Korea has been so full of culture, nature, and excitement. I know I haven’t experienced everything yet because there is so much to explore. The next time I come back, I will go to all the tourist sites that I missed; for example, the Han River, the Namsan Tower, and the other three palaces. My proudest accomplishment, however, is that I’ve made some really close friends. When studying abroad very deep friendship start to develop and I’m proud to say that I have a couple of friends that I will be visiting when we all get back to America. Although, I did not make friends with everyone I feel that making a couple of close friends is better than making many acquaintances. I wish I could’ve managed my time better because there were moments that were wasted because I did not know what to do due to the lack of research. That problem, however, could be easily fixed next time I come to Korea. So to end these blogs I'm not saying goodbye to South Korea but see you later.
