Visiting Seoul!

Traveling to Seoul was not really planed ahead…. So suddenly I found myself preparing to go there in the shortest of time. Which didn’t make things very easy for the present secretary to the NNSC Per Ljungnér and his wife Tina. For I needed or better said wanted a Base pass for the period of time I was in Seoul so I could visit my friends still living there. But he managed! Thank you Per!

It was a strange feeling to return to the sites where I’ve been around so very often. It felt like home although it isn’t home anymore….

The first weekend I was lucky to spend with Jaeyeon who took vacation in order to be able to leave the surroundings of her posting and it was wonderful to be together, catch up, shop and eat….. And those things I did a lot during my stay. I met up with friends, shopped ate and drank. Couldn’t meet with everybody but I have been so fortunate to meet the people I did meet for soon most of them return to their home countries.

My stay wouldn’t have been so wonderful if it wasn’t for Pamela who opened her house to me and made my stay absolutely fabulous. I even got the possibility to spend time with her fiancé Kevin and had the possibility to assist her in some of the preparations for her wedding! Looking forward to receiving pictures Pam and once again thanks for everything!

During my stay in Seoul the weather was brilliant while back home some snow was falling down and covering everything, again, with a white blanket…..

Now I’m almost a week back, no more snow but an approaching spring and many wonderful memories for me!

Could not believe it but suddenly I was really on my way to Seoul... eight hours time difference gave some issues with sleeping capability....

 Darling Jaeyeon! Positiv and strong as always! LY!

Chicken in a pot! Only dish on the menu .... making chosing easy! Much easier then choosing fabrics on Dongdeamun market!

Couldn't resist a short visit to emart, the store that supplied us with many details for "our house" at Yongsan Base

Dear Namwha and her husband, always fun and interesting to meet with.
