We decided to have some kimchi or korean food at korean central because we got back to the hotel early (we were scared of being mugged with so much shopping and we need to pack for an 0830 flight!) and we sumbled on a very good restaurant thats only been open for 2 months. The lady was nice and friendly.

Thats it for today, we’re just packing up and doing some ironing for tomorrow. Might not have any connection for the next 5 days at the wilds, or at all for the rest of the time because I don’t think we’re coming back here to stay. Might wanna go to some nature place. Depends.. we’ll see how. I’m going to pack pack pack.

Before I forget, I’m thankful for quite a few things again today.

1) We’re travelling alone (again)
2) We managed to get what we want and needed
3) We found that good korean food place
4) We’re leaving to the wilds tomorrow, meaning we can let our guard down and relax and not think about what to do for the next 4 days.
