When I look back at pictures from the six months I spent in South Korea or see Facebook updates from friends who are still there, I feel a world away and yet, in my heart, so close. I can easily imagine happily living there again, just as I could imagine living in Japan or Ecuador or Brazil again, but not permanently because Canada is my home.
And so South Korea, for me, is a place that I have lived in, studied in, worked in, travelled around, been frustrated with, loved, misunderstood, experienced, analysed, misinterpreted, photographed, scrutinized, appreciated, and through it all, shared with others. It is a place that my heart will always nostalgically long for – a place I will always look forward to visiting.
