When I wasn't working in YMCA, I would spent time with my roommates and my friend from my home country. In the begin it was just me and my friend going around in Seoul and a little outside of Seoul. Mostly we saw castles, museum, parks/gardens or even forest and it was amazing, South Korea really have many amazing things to look at. Especially all their old castles, they have so many details and colors, so you can just look at them for hours.

Their also have many museums and it's not only with things from the olden times. There are also museums like teddy bear, Kimchi, trick eye/alive museums and so many more. One time I went to a trick eye museum, but I had to go through a maze first, it was so fun. I really do recommend museums in Korea, especially the trick eyes museums, if you come to Korea.

Later on when I met my Korean boyfriend, I started to see more things. Because it was so much more easier to have him talk with the people or drive us to some place, if we wanted to see something there was more far away or if we couldn't take the subway there. Because especially when you are not near for Seoul anymore, than there is only busses or in Gwangju there are only one subway line.

Later on when I started to get closer to my coworkers at YMCA, they would sometimes ask me out and I would go out to drink, eat and sometimes go to a singing room with them. So sometimes I would come home in the middle of the night and I actually had to go to work the next day. I would never do that in my own country, but that is perfectly normal in Korea. Also many times now, when my boyfriend go out to meeting, they will have a lot of drinking while talking about their work. But the most funny part about go out with my coworkers, was actually the day after. Because the teacher who was in the same classes as me, loved to drink and she could handle a lot of alcohol on the day. But she would always have the craziest hangover the next day and just handing over her desk, while I took care of all the kids or tried too.

When I completely finished working in the YMCA, I had about a little over a month to travel around. So me and my friend travel to Mokpo(where my boyfriend lived at the time), Gwangju, Jeju and then back to Seoul before we had to go home. Luckily before I had to go home, I got to go to the YMCA again, where some of the kids, that I had been teaching. Was finish in the YMCA and they had a ceremony for them. So I was lucky, I could see them one more time before I had to go back home.
