sojourns to the far east / day seven / return to seoul

today i go home.

and my heart feels so heavy, i cant even find ways to console it.


what was on the drawing board for so many months, after countless planning schedules and msn chats, numerous emails and continuous notifications, i had finally come to the end of this marvelous series of rendezvouses in the far east.

the places i've been, the friends i've met, the events i took part in and every wonderful occurance that has taken place is now but a precious memory, lodged within my heart and soul, and soon it was time to go home.



and once breakfast was had, i went to the markets nearby in insadong to do some last minute shopping for precious little presents to take home and pass to dear ones, near and far.everything was after all finally over and i try to take in as much as i could before i needed to head to incheon international airport in the afternoon.



a typical streetscape aligned with retail lots on both sides with a wide promenade, it nevertheless had some nice buildings inserted into the immediate vicinity of the local urban tapestry. i looked around, scouting for things i'd like to take home. i didn't stay too long though.



and after taking a few more shots, i was on my way back to the guesthouse. time to leave.



and just before i did, this group of adorable children, clad in a multitude of vibrant colours, was the last shot i took before i finally packed up and left for the airport. its been a beautiful 12 days here in korea, and memories like these i'll cherish for as long as i live.

see you in 2011, seoul. aur revoir and thanks so much for everything!
everything!
