Hello everyone! Next February, I’m planning to visit Korea with my friends, and I’m already getting excited about the trip. This will be my fifth time traveling to Korea, but every visit still gives me new memories and a fresh perspective. Because I’ve been there several times, I feel more comfortable with transportation, ordering food, and understanding the atmosphere of the city. Still, traveling with friends makes everything feel new again. We’re planning to stay in Seoul, since there are still many places we haven’t explored. I want to visit some cafés that recently went viral online and try winter-only menus. I’m also looking forward to enjoying street foods like hotteok, tteokbokki, and fish cake soup, which taste even better in the cold season. This time, I especially hope to make use of the Korean I’ve been studying for the Hangul Ability Test. I recently started reviewing vocabulary and grammar again, so I want to try reading signs, ordering in Korean, and having simple conversations with shop staff. It would be great if I could feel the progress of my studying while traveling. I think using the language in real situations will motivate me even more. Since it’s been a while since our last trip together, we want to take our time shopping, wandering through different neighborhoods, and taking lots of photos. Even though it’s my fifth visit, Korea always offers something new. I hope this upcoming journey will be another unforgettable experience, and I can’t wait for February to arrive.
