Leaving my friends and family was hard but necessary for me to experience the unknown. Flying on the plane on that Wednesday afternoon of August 17th was pleasant and reminded me of last summer. Things were different this time it was for employment, not travel. I sat next to two very interesting people. One was a recent graduate from Minnesota University who majored in Korean and the other was a Korean-American girl who i learned was the same age as me. We both learned a lot about each other during the course of that 14+ hour flight. We learned we share similar interests in music, sports, dramas, food and movies. So u could say we became friends rather quickly. The girl’s name was Semy and the guy was Alex. I kept in contact with Semy and she lives in Seoul with her 4 roommates. We have plans to meet up sometime during this year so it’s nice that i made a friend before we even arrived to Korea.
After 14 hours passed, we arrived at Incheon Airport. Semy, Alex and I all stayed together as we waited for our bags. Semy was the last one to get her things and say farewell. We said our goodbyes not knowing if we would ever meet again but i was certain we would. I exchanged most of my money into Korean won and set off to find the table for EPIK check-in. With a shopping cart to hold my luggage it was very easy to transport my bags. As i was looking for the EPIK table, i spotted a crowd surrounding something so i got closer and noticed it was Crystal from fx, k-pop star. Musical artists here can easily be spotted in Seoul as i found that out last summer when I met one of my favorite k-pop artists, Younha. It's weird though she not very popular but she knows Japanese and English which is rare.
