Trip to Korea

You're My American BABY

Sitting through a 13 hour flight from Spokane to Seoul was not what you expected when your parents told you that you would be going on a trip overseas for the summer after you graduated high school. Your parents were paying for the whole trip. Airfare, hotel costs and they even gave you a budget on spending money.

 

You stepped off the plane feeling slightly tired from jet lag. You had told your parents that you wanted to study Korean and learn their culture, you didn't think that they would actually remember and send you off to Korea for 3 months by yourself. By yourself! Walking around the airport you were dragging your feet looking for customs. Reading hangul was easy but to understand the English translation was the hard part.

Eventually you found customs and made it to the rest of your luggage. Luckily a flight attendant, with a warm smile, saw how lost you were and asked if you needed help with anything. "No...I am fine" you said walking away. In your mind you wanted to cry. Being in a foreign country made you feel like a lost puppy. Stopping dead in your tracks you turned around and looked at the flight attendant.

She came rushing over, "Do you need some kind of taxi to get to where you are staying?"

You nod your head yes as she pulled out her phone and called for a taxi. She walked you out and waited with you until the taxi came.

"I don't know enough Korean to tell him the address of the hotel..." The woman smiled at you and gently took the paper from your hands. Soon enough the taxi took off from Incheon Airport to your hotel.

Arriving at the hotel was the best thing that had happened to you all day. You checked in and went straight to the, surprisingly, huge room. Looking around you were very impressed that your parents booked a hotel like this. You left all your luggage at the door and rushed over to the bed, flopping down on it. No need for pajamas, your head hit the pillow and instantly fell asleep.

The next morning you felt refreshed. You set your iPod on the counter and started blasting some of your favorite Kpop. B.A.P's 'No Mercy' came on and you couldn't help but scream like a fangirl. They were your favorite Kpop group of all time. Hearing B.A.P made you hurry up, shower, and get ready for the day.

About 15 minutes later you were out the door with everything you needed to survive the streets of Seoul. You took out the map your parents gave you. Extraordinarily, your parents had marked the hotel you were staying at and the airport with a red pen. First on your agenda was walking to the nearest resturant to grab something to eat. After eating you then decided to go to a museum, a park and even the Han River to keep yourself occupied.

Satisfied with how you spent the day, you headed back to the hotel room. Back in the room you the TV. B.A.P were on a variety show and you squealed like a little girl. Eyes glued to the TV, your legs slowly started to move you back to the bed and you safely plopped on it. It was your dream to meet B.A.P someday, better yet to just meet Zelo who was your ultimate bias. You ended up falling asleep with a smile on your face thinking about how that day would be.

You spent the next 3 weeks doing whatever you pleased. Going on mini trips across the country, amusment parks one after the other, buying  the most expensive item on the menu when you went to resturants and, of course, buying all the Kpop merchandise you could lay your hands on. You were spending your money but your parents were nice enough to keep giving you more.

After being in Korea for a month you finally saw something that almost gave you a heart attack... B.A.P was going to have a concert in Seoul. In 2 weeks. Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
