Korea Trip 2021

Korea in January 2021 – booked!

It may sound crazy booking a trip in the middle of the Covid-19 pandemic, with this virus having no signs of slowing down yet.

I would like to stay optimistic.

In my mind, this is just temporary. Despite being caught off-guard, I still believe that the world leaders (not the PH leaders anymore) will find a way to stop it for the sake of the entire population. I know that someone has the solution somewhere, just waiting for the right time to disclose it

.

One of the things that this pandemic has brought me is being a convert of KDrama lovers. Long before I have always been hearing about it, but never really got interested perhaps because I didn’t want the idea of having to read the translations. And oh, this also brought me to be crushing on Lee Seung Gee!

Korean Dramas are breath of fresh air.

I have lost interest with Filipino teleseryes as they tend to have same stories/genre and just changing the actors, commonly with themes of infidelity, revenge and discrimination between rich and poor. I don’t think I need to expound.

And so since I have gotten hook to Korean Dramas, it peaked my interest in visiting Korea.

Getting visas is an exciting activity for me.

It would be my 3^rd time to apply for visa. First was in Taiwan (when they weren’t visa-free yet) and 2^nd was China visa (for a Shanghai trip that got cancelled).

I plan to visit farther countries in Europe and America and these places require visas, which is why I have to build my “travel credentials”.

I hope to capture more photos.

This is in preparation for the AV presentation that I wish to show to guests during Doc M and I’s wedding in April 2021.

Korea has its own food to boast.

As always, I would like to try authentic food of countries that I visit. There may be restaurants in the Philippines that serve 'authentic versions', but I still like to experience having it at the land it originally come from.

Things are uncertain nowadays.

It includes this Korea trip. However, as I mentioned about, I would like to stay optimistic with what’s going to happen in the future not just with traveling, but in all aspects of my life.
