Different things by Kalle, part 1

I have been here over three months and when Kalle came here, I realized I have adapted here. I have gotten use to the spicy food, weird toilets don't surprise me anymore and I have become blind to those little different things. So what I learnt during the time Kalle was here..

1. Number four doesn't exist in the elevator.
At least some of them. It was kinda weird to see only F instead of 4.

2. The quality of the air is really bad.
Kalle happened to be here when you couldn't see the sky because toxic. It was hard to breath and well, everything seemed grey.

3. The metro system here is absolute amazing.
Korean metro is easy, simple and on time. It's the easiest, cheapest and usually fastest way to go around.

4. You hardly see someone smoking when they walk.
And if you do - they are usually foreign people, Actually I noticed the same thing, but I knew it before hand because my friend told me before coming here.

5. Streets are extremely clean.
Even though there aren't any trashcans, streets are clean. Why? Because apparently they pay for old people for cleaning them. Just wow.

15 days.

Takana 103 päivää ja 15 päivää enää jäljellä. Sitten seikkailuni täällä on ohi. Tuntuu oudolta tajuta, että paluu on niin lähellä. Vastahan minä sinkoilin paikasta toiseen etsien tavaroita, yritin kuumeisesti saada kämpän siivottua ja kaikki laitettua kuntoon. Vastahan minä pidin lentokenttätreffit Kallen kanssa ja hyppäsin seikkailuun.

Nyt minulla on enää 15 päivää jäljellä. Enkä osaa päättää, miltä se tuntuu. Aika loppuu kesken, tuntuu etten ole ehtinyt kokemaan kaikkea, jonka olisin halunnut. Haluaisin vielä seikkailla, elää unelmaani. Haluaisin hukkua kaikkiin kauniisiin väreihin, mutta värit ovat loppuneet täällä. Nyt on vain harmaata tai valkoista. 

Toisaalta en haluaisi mitään muuta kuin mennä kotiin. En edes tiedä, missä on mun koti. Mulla oli kolme kotia ennen kuin lähdin tänne, mutta nyt palaan tilanteeseen, jossa en tiedä, mikä on koti. Yksi asunto on irtisanottu. Yhdessä on randomisti tavaroita. Yhdessä asuu sentään yhä rakkauspakkaus, mutta miten minä tulen sinne enää sopimaan tämän vaihdon jälkeen.

15 päivää ja Korea on koettu. Ainakin tältä osalta. Se, minne nokka suuntaa sitten, on vielä mysteeri.

103 days behind and 15 days left. My adventure here

is soon over. It feels weird to realize how close the end is. Just yesterday I flung from one place to another searching for stuff, trying desperately to clean my house and get everything prepared. Just yesterday I was on a date with Kalle at the airport and hopped into an adventure.

Now I have only 15 days left. And I'm not sure what to think or feel. Time is running out and I haven't done everything I wanted to do. I would love to venture little bit more, live my dream. I would love to jump into the beautiful colors, but colors have run out here. Now it's only grey or white. 

In other hand I wouldn't want anything else than go home. I don't even know where is my home. I had three homes before I came here but I'll come back to the situation where I don't know what is home. One apartment is gone. One is full of random stuff. Luckily at least one place has something common, but how will I fit in there after this time.

15 days and Korea is gone. At least for now. Where I go after it, it's still a mystery.
