Family's Vacation in South Korea

I just got home from the airport where I sent-off my family back to the Philippines, after a special weekend spent with them here in Seoul. Finally, all the stress and the worries from whether my mom would get a tourist visa or not, to how I’ll divide her time in spending an out-of-the-country vacation have paid off! I couldn’t be any happier.

My family’s plan to visit South Korea came in at the start of this year, a big hooray to that airline’s promo fare. A couple of months later, I got to see and tour them around the place where I let myself be exiled, hahaha!

On Korea's Conveniences

Every time anyone asks me how I find South Korea, I would always say that living here is the conveniently rushed kind. And almost next to that, so as to emphasize more on the convenience (and avoid the pitfalls of the “rushed”), I would tell them how the country's efficient subway system has helped me a great deal with my existence here. Anyone should see me how I tell it to people, because almost always after I say that, they would ask me back if there actually exists a railway system in my own country. I sound that amazed (or rather foolishly primeval eh? Bwahaha). I think I have written a post about Korea's subway system before.

What's An Average Seoulite Like?

I caught on this interesting article from the Korea Times. I've always loved reading stats and numbers, anyway. But I'm only up to the reading part, of course. I need not another stress on making computations, hehe.

You see, I've never really had the time to ponder about how life has generally been for me in Seoul-- have never really bothered with my surroundings given that I have to always rush things and inject everything in my numb and pre-occupied mind. It's getting pretty close to two years, I must say, of this so-called working life that I have strived to live by in South Korea's capital city. I should really get to know my current bread and butter by this time. The article could very well be a starter.
