Next stop: Seoul

…Well actually there’s a brief layover in Frankfurt first, but that’s a technicality. Anyway, I’m going back to Seoul tomorrow for two full weeks. I’m so excited and cannot wait to once more eatย a piping hot bowl of bibimbap with a cold Cass beer and a shot of soju.

I’ve compiled a comprehensive shopping list and stores like Etude House, Nature Republic, Innisfree, Eight Seconds, Mixxo, Uniqlo, and coffee shops like A Twosome Place, Caffe Bene, and Paris Baguette just to name a fewย will most definitely be paid a visit.

To make sure I won’t be bored during my flight I’ve filled up my iPad with TTMIK goodies such as their e-books about Korean folktales and the one on Gyeongsang dialect. I’ll be making a brief trip to Busan, so I hope to be able to impress the Busan people with a cheerful “๋งŒ๋‚˜์„œ ๋ฐ˜๊ฐ‘์‹ฌ๋‹ค” when I greet them. If not, I should at least be able to understand what they mean when I hear phrases like “์‹์‚ฌ๋Š” ํ•˜์…จ๋Šฅ๊ต?”

My phone is full of podcasts from TTMIK andย ์ฑ… ์ฝ๋Š” ์‹œ๊ฐ„, and I checked the inflight entertainment program, and there should be a few Korean movies for me to watch as well. I’ll also bring my notebook and my TOPIK preparation book in my carry-on bag.

I’ll be sure to write a few blog updates while I’m in Korea, and I promise to be very active posting pictures and comments to Twitter.

Please enjoy this wonderful video while I pack the rest of my bags!
