Annyong Haseyo!

I know it’s been awhile and I had a request by Mr. B-rad-ee himself to update my Korean adventures in blog form. Eat you’re your heart out B-J GAYBERT!

So all my friends took off for Boracay on Christmas day and left me basically alone. I think I’ve gone a little nutty at times! I’ve done a butt load of hiking to say the least. Today I went on a 3 hr adventure up some mountains. I was lazy and wasn’t sure how fair up I was going to go but this all changed in my head once a Korean mountain goat (some rando man) was like racing me. When I go hiking I go kinda hard and when the normal Korean goes it’s a leisure activity. So this dude pushed me. I was ahead of him for a long time until I came to a head on with a family of 50 people. I stepped aside to let the family go by then the Korean mountain goat went pass me and totally pushed his way through the family! AS IF! Anyways I was over the racing mode because my lunch almost came up. I decided that I made it that far up the mountain that I would go to the top to a peak that I’ve been to numerous times. As I approached the peak I felt my body lacking energy and water…a bonking experience, as an athlete would say. I got to the rock look out and looked out. HAHA! Then a Korean man and like 5 women joined me. They started talking to me in Korean then they realized I wasn’t one of them. They got super excited and the man wanted his women in a picture with me. After a couple photos the man continued to try speaking English to me and asked if I was Russian…SERIOUSLY why do these people think all foreign women are Russian?! I made it clear that I was Canadian – they love Canadians out here. The man also asked if I had a GIRLFRIEND over and over. Once again I made it clear that I had a boyfriend back in Canada. I’m pretty sure he was confused with his English but you never know! After all of this the women rewarded me with two mandarin oranges! This was like gold at this point because of the bonking experience and they tasted amazing. I thanked them in Korean and made my way down the mountain.

My next update will be in the New Year so have a safe, fun, and happy one! I know you all wish you were with me on the beaches in the Philippines ☺ Miss you, xo.
