My best friend picked me up at the airport Friday morning, and then we went to grab something to eat. We agreed on Arby's since she had to get back home to finish some work. When we were in the restaurant, I **almost** said out loud, "hey those people sitting behind us are speaking ENGLISH!" But I caught myself before I said it out loud and just laughed...
Saturday we went for a hike in the California mountains...it was really nice, and helped me stay awake! The jet lag is awful! On the way back we stopped at a strawberry stand and bought some delicious strawberries. Once I paid for them, I said, "kamsamnida" ... OOPS!
My friend also caught me bowing to people that I said hello to TWICE!! I didn't even realize I had done it...
I guess it's gonna take some time to break some Korean habits I created...
I love this! After living in Holland for 2.5 years, I completely understand what you are talking of. :)
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteNice post. It seems you are interested in travelling. I wonder whether you would be interested in travelling to India.
If yes, then let me share the good experience that I had in India last year, thanks to this guy named Ranjan Chetry.
I usually do not travel abroad. Like everyone, I have my own issues. I dread being left in the middle of a populace that hardly shares anything with me except for a human body.
Nevertheless, I gathered enough courage last year and decided to visit India on the assurance of my Indian friend that the travel agent is one of his most trusted agents. He advised me to visit the North-East India as they were very warm and innocent at heart. He said that Ranjan specialised in arranging trips to India’s North Eastern states.
So I called Ranjan (Mobile: +919899371208) and got myself a fortnight long package. It was very cheap and probably cost 30-40 percent less than a similar costing trip to other regions of India.
My itinerary included a visit to Arunachal Pradesh, Sikkim, Dharmashala (where Dalai Lama lives), Ladakh and to the Kaziranga National park in Assam, notwithstanding a 2 day trip to the hilly capital city of Shillong. I must tell you that it was an experience of the lifetime.
The sheer hospitality of the people of North-East India was overwhelming. For not a single moment did I feel lonely or insecure. I therefore recommend everyone to visit the North East India. It is rightly called a paradise unexplored.
I have come to learn that Ranjan along with his few associates have come up with a website: http://www.triptuners.com. Take a look at the site. I might be useful for you if you plan to, or at least know somebody who is looking to spend a memorable time with his family, spouse or friends.
