How my life has changed since i came to South Korea
I had never visited any place out of Europe before i took a 13-hour flight to Seoul three months ago. It has been such a dream come true because I'd always wanted to come here and I finally got to know this city and this culture the way I always imagined.
Paris,Venice, Rome, Amsterdam... All these places had something I loved and they made me feel as I had to come back in some point of my life, but nothing compares to the feeling I have right now living in this beautiful city. The weather, the views, the culture... It amazes me.
Living here has changed my life in many ways. First of all, I already knew a lot about this country, but when you finally travel somewhere and get to experience that feeling, your mindset evolves. Secondly, I have discovered a culture completely different from the Western which we are all accostumed to. Moreover, food here, even being vegetarian, is exquisite!
Some people say that when you truly get to learn a language fully is when you travel to a country where it is spoken and that is completely true. I had started to learn korean a year ago and never had such a big progress as I have had since I came here. It's a language which is similar in some aspects to english, but if you don't have time to learn it, it's okay! Citizens here in Seoul understand almost completely english, it's just they are a bit shy to talk because they're insecure about their skills...
Without a doubt, coming here has been one of the best choices I've made in my entire life! I learned to be more open minded, I've got the chance to enjoy a totally different gastronomy, mindset and language. If you are curious about this country and, specially, this wonderful city, come here and visit it, you won't regret it! Just get rid of prejudices and make some time to begin this adventure!
