looking back prior to this trip, i wanted everything to be perfect - one is that i didn't want to lose against the cold again, so i thought i'd need to prepare months before. it got tiring, nonetheless, and like what was always done, i let things go our way, with a flexible itinerary in hand.

in all of those days, we'd wake up at 6 am on a number of days, or 8-9 am on certain days. what i most appreciated during this trip is the mild randomness of the itinerary, and the relaxed pace of everyone we've walked with. albeit this isn't exactly paradise we're talking about, i felt safe. safe in a sense that i'm not in a place where i call normal, i'm in somewhere that i could trip, fall, and walk further without feeling and thinking about so much at all. another thing is the gentleness of the people around us. though there may be some kind of hesitancy as south korea isn't really a widely english-speaking country, even with the smallest of smiles, i felt at peace.

for the photos, i have tried to make it look more "feminine" (couldn't find the right word) just as they do korean/japanese photo editing. this is part of my goal to further learn more about lightroom, and i wanted to divert from my usual way of editing photos which would normally project a more serious feel. it is of my best interest, however, for you to enjoy these photos to your heart's content.

oh, i've compiled everything in one place so this entry may be longer than what you expect.
