Self Discovery in a Foreign Country

Since arriving here in Daegu, I've learned a lot about what living in a foreign county is like. I thought that since I was born and raised in the Philippines that the adjustment for me wouldn't be so difficult. I figured that it would have prepared me for what life would be like in Korea. I was truly mistaken and the comparison between both countries are definitely unexpected.

Not only have I learned about new customs and what is considered "normal" here, I have also learned a few more about myself in regards to my personality trait and my preferences.  I have never lived in a high rise apartment or in a bustling city like Daegu.  Although, I thoroughly enjoy my apartment and the modern amenities it offers, I have learned that living in a concrete jungle does not suit me at all.  I've visited NY several times and have been to Manhattan and Queens, but I think that bright lights and big city features of Daegu is not for me.  I'm hoping that once our own furniture arrives and I am able to sleep in my own bed, I will feel better.  I'm not even really sure if it's the fact that I live in the heart of the city or if it's still not home to me yet. However, I still need to give it some time since I just moved in the apartment a week ago.

Christian seems to like it and have been able to enjoy the city.  We went for a walk about 2 km away and spent some time at Suseong Lake.  It was very nice and Jensen was having so much fun running around the lake.
