After having spent sometime in Taiwan, Korea felt warmly familiar to me. Plus there was no Jet lag to get over so I was able to settle in right away.
I've moved in with Eun-mi's family (Technically there are 5 of us living there - but Eun-mi's two brothers are rarely around, oh and there's also 2 dogs).
It seemed that everyone I met that week asked me the same set of questions - which left me feeling quite silly all of a sudden:
How long are you here for? - "I'm not sure… I haven't made plans to go home"
Do you have a visa? - "no… not yet"
Do you have a Job? - "no…. not yet"
Although my situation looked pretty poor and justified only by my emotions, there was something stronger behind it all which kept my fears at bay and let me hope for a way forward - I'd like to call it 'Faith' but actually it's much more like 'Trust'. Trusting that God's with me on this journey, and that actually he's the one that's drawn me in this direction, therefore if he's involved I should have little to fear.
Why did you come to Korea? - "to be with my girlfriend and learn Korean…"
