It's official. Well, I think it is at least. I'm going to Korea on April, although it's for an educational and cultural purpose. I was supposed to go last year but I wasn't of legal age yet. I have the requirements and all. I'll just have to wait for the travel agency to process everything. I get kind of a good mood just thinking about it. I mean, it's not really the first foreign country I'll be visiting. But Korea is really special place to me. I grew up watching and learning from Korean shows. And was still wayyyy before the Hallyu wave was popular and the number of Koreans studying English in our country was minimal. I remember being so intrigued by their customs and practices. The concept of having a royal family, the power of the chaebols, and their driven and hardworking nature. I can even read and speak super basic Korean. I think they're great even though I can pinpoint a couple of flaws in how their society is run. To me, as long as it doesn't affect their economy and deprive others of further development, the system is still effective. Anyway, I have literally waited all my life for this. 

I think the best part of going there is getting to go without my parents. I mean, I don't really have an issue spending time with them but I've been very dependent on them all my life. For the first time ever, I      get to be myself fully. I don't plan on going crazy or whatever. I still have my professors guiding me and my friends to be with. I can't really explain it or express it properly. It's just a really big deal to me.

I guess the purpose of this post is just for me to release my thoughts and feelings about it.
