Appointments, deadlines, team-meetings, assignments... That's what I have been unto lately. Last year I was doing a bid project about Iran, which I learned a lot from. This time, the destination me and my team chose was Jamaica. I just have a feeling that this project will be a success and the whole team is so motivated to do a great job. This is our first slide, nice ha?
It finally hit me, that my time in Korea is coming to an end. I start feeling the pressure to do as much as possible, finishing assignments in advance and during nighttime so that I can enjoy the days to the fullest. My return back home, will be interesting. I have no idea how I will behave and react when I arrive back home. There are many things about Finland that I have forgot. I have not been active reading the news, I have no idea what has happened during my time in South Korea. There will be changes I need to adjust to and basically start my life again. In a way, going back home feels like I will move to a new country with new people, new language, culture and in general just the proper way you should act and behave in certain situations. All the small polite things we do in South Korea, will probably be stuck with me for a while. There will be situations where I will say words in Korean, without even realizing that my friends back home have no clue what I am saying.
Im going through a phase now, similar to the one I had before coming to South Korea. I feel a bit lost, nervous, scared but at the same time a little excited. No, I don't want to leave this place, it has become my second home. So many people I have attached to and I hear everyday from someone, "Meri, don't leave me here, I don't want to lose you when you leave". Honestly, it's heartbreaking. When saying goodbye to my friends in Finland, I knew that I will see all of them in one year. With all the friends I have made in South Korea, I have no idea when I will be back.
