Finally! I have time to do some proper blogging in front of my laptop now! I've been busy working and earning some bucks for my upcoming trips (yay!!).
As I age I definitely blog a lot lesser now as compared to when I was younger. In the past, I used to write about a lot of nonsensical stuff (e.g. what homework I have, what lessons I attended every single day despite having the same timetable for a whole semester wtf) and describe in full detail my feelings toward every single shit that happened in my life. Looking back at it, I think people should remain like their childlike selves forever. Having the ability to describe how you truly feel is a blessing ok and I really hate how I am unable to do that anymore now. It's just..really hard to even say how I feel now. Am I really an adult already? (sigh)
Anyway, I digressed.
My first overseas trip this year! I went to South Korea with my mom, elder sis, cousin and her mother-in-law. A little weird combination because in the beginning it was just my mom and my sis. After that my cousin decided to join and wanted to bring her mother-in-law too so tadaah we went! When planning for the trip I was still under the internship program with Giamso Tours so (in order to accommodate my mom) we booked a tour under them for 5D4N.
It was a new operator my ex-colleague tried so I was like the guinea pig for them. However, I really enjoyed myself quite a lot for this trip!
1) the tour was small with only 8 people.
2) the itinerary was not very packed/rushed.
3) it focused more on the rural areas of South Korea instead of the city area
4) it was more of a sightseeing than shopping tour
5) there were some free time for us every night to do our own things!
