Forget me not, Seoul

It's my last morning in South Korea: time to go back home.

It's been an incredible journey full of new experiences and new people. I'm left with a few great friends for life, an increased knowledge level of Korea and Asia, the ability to read and write Korean characters (but not to understand what it says) and fluency in chopsticks. Not everything here has been positive. Not getting to know many Koreans, the never-ending rain and waiting for five minutes at every traffic light have all been a part of my summer here as well. But the general taste in my mouth is positive.

So it is somewhat wiser, gastronomically more experienced and just a bit tanned I say farwell to Seoul. Forget me not!
