What I learned: Seoul, South Korea 2015

To this day, I still distinctly remember the two times I exposed myself to the Korean Wave. The first time was in 2000 when I watched the classic Korean drama Autumn in My Heart. The second time was in 2004 when I started following the pre-debut of Super Junior, a formerly 13-member boy band. By that time, I was already in too deep with the 'wave' which ultimately became one of the main reasons of my wanting to visit South Korea for the last fourteen years. 

This past January, I finally did, with three of my closest friends. 

Seoul, South Korea was everything I imagined it to be; from the bustling city streets to the breath-taking night lights, I was so ecstatic to have finally set foot on Korean soil!

And here are several things I learned throughout my 2.5 week trip.

To The Lady Picking Her Nose

Sitting behind a computer all day, my job cannot get any more lackluster, thank goodness. If my fantasy life became a reality, a normal work day in my sparkly high heels would involve multiple kiss scenes with the smoldering Chris Evans (must I say that was a hard verdict; it was a toss up between him, Ryan Reynolds... and another handful more), fly to France for a photo shoot with Vogue Paris, and a red carpet premiere hanging off of Ryan Gosling's arm. However, it is what it is, and I'm not any closer to becoming the next Scarlett Johansson than the person across from me--aloha, kind gentleman on his iPhone! So it's fair to say I have a lot of time on my hands at work if I can day dream about my life in a parallel universe.
