Dzień 57: Lazy Sunday, Reset Sunday

Resetuję się. Z opcji wizyta w muzeum, wycieczka do pozostałości twierdzy czy hikingu wybrałam totalny reset systemu. Siedzę w domu i pracuję nad czeskim, szukam soundtracku do Eagle vs Shark, oglądam zdjęcia z Lotte Worldu i ściągam filmy. Zresztą, straciłam prawą rękę (tzn. aparat), a dokładniej cierpię na brak baterii do aparatu, więc może jutro ruszę się do Foto Labu (który i tak jest dziś zamknięty).
Spotkanie wolontariuszy raczej nie wniosło nic szczególnego w moją postawę wolontariuszki, ot pogawędka co słychać, gry integracyjne i grill w sobotę, na którym z oczywistych względów nie byłam.
Wiem że koreański czas powoli biegnie do przodu, rozglądam się za biletem do Japonii i pora się sprężyć z ostatnimi czynnościami z rodzaju KOREAN MUST DO.
Przede wszystkim chcę zrobić kilka brakujących zdjęć, kilka wypadów na motorze i w końcu Jeju Island za tydzień. 5 dni wakacji, koreański autostop i kolejne potyczki językowo-kulturowe.
Can't wait. Enjoy your time girl.

Dear Friends,
last few weeks were more or less... crazy. Regarding weather here (drenching rainfall every 2 days) I spent some time at home watching and downloading movies, preparing lessons, studying Czech and English (my Czech speaking skills suck. Sound like, I don't know, funny English intonation with, ehrm, primitive Czech pronunciation? Need to focus on it as soon as I get back to Prague...) and looking at the pictures (yep, those from Lotte Wolrd rule!).
In the meantime, weather was of course tolerable and then, well, then was partying, taking photos, hang outs and many, many short moments of happiness. The moments such as when I was out of control in Purely Decadent Cafe, reached the Gwaneum-bong peak, rode on a motorbike by night (and during rain), visited classic Korean discothèque, went to a party with my Seoul host and finally losing control over myself in Lotte World.
What else? Thanks to Maru, my CS host, I had possibility to ride on a bike on insane Seoul streets and meet his friends. Fun, fun, fun.

Teaching Korean kids is also source of joy, they make up words such triangle monster (for squid) or king crab (for lobster). Well, look forward to Jeju Island trip and... Japan :)
Read you soon guys!


p.s. Opcja tripu do Japonii wygasa, zastępuje ją za to opcja Hong Kong, taaa.... Jeśli uda mi się spełnić moje marzenie i fotografować tamtejsze blokowiska w dniu moich urodzin będę najszczęśliwszym człowiekiem na ziemi!!!

Póki co kilka obrazków z tutejszej rzeczywistości.







Żeby nie było, że ta Korea taka ponura, transmisja dziwnych zielonych form prosto z Geoje Island:



Lotte World...



Lot na fali (Guessing game: Where is Emi?)

Personal Landmarks: A Map of Trauma in London

Image
For me, London is defined by its street names, locations, and urban landmarks. Over the past 14 years, these elements (and more!) have left very distinctive mark on me. My London, first and foremost, is the one I came to know as a courier. I memorised all the addresses—Soho’s townhouses, the glass and steel skyscrapers in the City, and the many other places I delivered to. That was pre-smart phone era, so the famous A to Z map became my best friend for three years. This experience formed the foundational layer of my "London skin". Later, as I became an operations controller, these addresses took on a more digital form. They became combinations of postcodes (EC2M or EC2N—who can tell the difference? Well, I can, as I’ve become a bit of a postcode geek!), each just another place to send a delivery. Then there’s another layer—my social life in London, full of moments, encounters, people, and unexpected events scattered throughout the city. After 14 years, this collection of expe...

ADO starfish

ADO – the name of a bus service in Mexico Starfish –  a 5-armed sea creature that everyone loves I absolutely dislike traveling at night. While it may seem like a cost-effective option and works for some, I simply cannot sleep on trains, buses, or planes unless I can stretch my legs in semi-bed position. Traveling at night in Vietnam, however, had its perks.                     If only Mexican night buses offered the same comfort...                            Currently exploring southern Mexico, I knew the time would come for a long-distance night bus. That moment arrived with my journey from San Cristóbal de las Casas to Oaxaca (pronounced 'Wahaca'), a “lovely” 12.5-hour ride. I even took sleeping pills in an attempt to catch some sleep during the trip. The bus was dark, the seats were comfortable, and it was only half full, allowing me to spread out across two r...

Three weeks into my Panchakarma retreat

Image
I am currently three weeks into my Panchakarma retreat. It feels like I have entered level four of a captivating video game. The anticipation (or dread) of the impending final stage of my detox journey,   known as the infamous ‘vasti’-(often referred to as “the mother of all panchakarma procedures”), looms overhead. Last week, I underwent the ‘nasya’ treatment, that is cleanse of your nasal passages and detoxification of the head and neck. This procedure came with a challenging condition : no hair washing allowed. For a full seven days, my hair remained unwashed, gradually becoming so greasy that catching a glimpse of it in the mirror turned into a test of endurance! Fortunately, the ‘nasya’ experience had a silver lining, as it was coupled with herbal steam bath and ‘kizhi’ treatment—a pounding massage with heated herbal pouches infused with medicinal oils. These fragrant sachets worked their magic on my body, providing a perfect blend of invigoration and relaxation. ‘Kizhi’...
