Hanbok - Traditional Korean dress
Change... Some people avoid it; others crave it. We are learning to embrace it whenever it comes around. And it will always come around. This month the time has come once again to embrace change. Two years and six months ago, we packed our belongings into boxes and set out on an adventure - South Korea. The 'land of the morning calm'. The plan to stay for one year turned into two years and six months. We are now in the sixth month.
Bittersweet. That explains it best.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it, move with it, and JOIN THE DANCE - Alan W. Watts
Looking back on our life in the Republic of Korea, I realize that words will never be enough to describe it. We have made life long friends from around the globe, tasted live octopus, learned (or attempted to) a new language as well as valuable lessons from a culture so different from our own. We have learned that stepping out of your comfort zone brings about discomfort and that once you embrace it, it changes you and you are forever thankful.
Our capacity to enjoy food that look, smell and feel different from what we are used to has increased greatly. That is something that we will treasure. We love Korean food.
So, one kitchen closes as we leave our new comfort zone in the South of Korea and another will soon open with new challenges awaiting in the South of China.
