At YVR now~



I can't believe the day has arrived! I am departing today for Korea. \(^0^)/ It's been a while since I've been to the Vancouver Airport... To be honest, the last time was last year around this time of the year. That was to pick up/drop people off. ;A; Now it's my turn to depart. The fact that I'm departing is so exciting. Just until yesterday I was working at the coffee shop and then today I'm chilling in the waiting to board the plane at YVR.

Yesterday was Victoria Day and the coffee shop was super busy and I was happy to have my shift finish early so I can clean up the apartment a bit of course as well as packing for today. Since I live with a roommate and I know she'll be there for the 2 weeks I'm gone, I feel bad leaving it messy before I leave. So I kind of wet crazy cleaning mumbling lady. hahaha oh well. Ended up falling asleep at around 1am and waking up at 5:00 to get ready to leave to take the ferry over to Vancouver. Yeah. I didn't go to Vancouver yesterday. This morning. So much waiting and public transportation today. OTL

but I'm here now in the boarding area and it's nice to relax before I take this long flight to Japan. Then I have 3 hour layover in Narita before taking another plane to Seoul. I realized how much I hate airport securities. I understand the need for them but so.... tedious. I was the lucky one to get "randomly searched" today. My laptop juice is running low, so I'm chilling in a weird location in this waiting area because I am able to sit down and use a plug. I need to charge it up good before going on the plane. Since I have a lot of hours to kill, might as well get some translation work that needs to get done.

On the way here, I was excited to be going back to Korea for even only a couple weeks, but now I'm just super dead tired. Can't wait to just be on the plane right now.

Since I have a couple of hours to kill in Narita, I will probably update there.

Anyways, everyone have a good day today! The weather outside looks really good out here from what I can see out of the waiting area windows.

Work work work

So ever since I went came back from Victoria (I was there to look or houses) I have been busy with work! It is a really good thing and it keeps me busy during the summer but at the same time I get really tired at the end of the day. Let me start with my house searching adventures in Victoria. I wanted a place where it is cheap an close to campus. Yeah it is quite an idealistic approach but hey it's better than having no expectations I guess. However after going to look at places for three days straight, my future roommate and I got a little down from not finding anything and I almost compromised my requirements in order to have something. However, on the last house we looked at, we found something that both of us liked and that my friend liked as well. So that was good. Now all I got to do is to send some paperwork and the place is ours! Yes! I still cant believe we got that place.. All inclusive AND it is furnished AND it is close to campus! Ggah! I am soo happy. I had to go hom...

Back and forth~

By the time I was about to write about the rest of my Korean trip, I had to get ready to go home and then prepare to return to this side of the world to Japan. So my summer before arriving in Japan has been mostly been work and preparing to move out of Victoria and move overseas to Japan. Now that I have been in Japan, I feel like it's a sin for not having written anything. Arrived in Tokyo on August 3rd. We arrived an hour earlier than scheduled but that doesn't change anything because when you land in an international airport between noon and maybe 4 or 5ish, it's going to be super busy. Although as a JET participant, we were pushed earlier in the immigration line, we still had to wait for an hour or two through immigration and then pick up our baggage.  What's amazing in the JET Programme is that there's always someone there to guide you every step of the way until you reach your contracting organization. That is before the airport and after the airport. ...

Jeju Island

Last weekend, my friend and I and her family went to Jeju island. Since my friend and I still have school we decided to only stay for 2 nights and 3 days. Her family was going to stay a couple more days than us. However, first we arrived in Jeju at around noon and met the tour guide. Since there was 6 of us all together one of us had to sit in the back. My friend's sister did it on the first day. Once we arrived, we wanted lunch and we ate some galbitang. Galbitang is basically rib soup? or beef soup? They stick a piece of meat in a soup and you add salt and pepper to your own desire. It's very bland without salt and pepper and without all the side dishes they provide you. Since my friend's parents are not good with the spicy foods. Galbitang was good but it took a lot of time to eat. On the way to our pension or resort house thing?, or the place we were going to stay over at, we stopped by the beach and took some pictures. The view was beautiful and the color of the ocea...
