The last of Fall and Phumee's Adventures in South Korea

Fall is beautiful here. It's so nice to be able to experience all the seasons here.  Southern California is definitely different.
I haven't walked to/from work lately so I didn't realize the drastic change in the leaves.. until today.
It was a sad moment.
The few leaves that were left on the trees were turning brown.
Some trees didn't have any leaves left on them.

Besides that, I visited Phumee in Hadong for the last time this past weekend. Another sad event.

I'll miss that little town .. Phumee's enormous house... the jjajangmyun that I had for the first and last time :( and the delicious samgyupsal with "mul bap" lol.

When I first decided to come to Korea, I felt a bit more at ease knowing that Phumee was here. I came knowing that she was going to leave 5 months before me. However, it's still hard to imagine another few months without her. We've grown to be good friends here.. not just cousins. 

I'm so thankful for her generosity.. hospitality.. and friendship.  

This coming weekend will be her last...here in Korea. 

She'll be spending a few days in Uijeongbu with me..then flying out on Wednesday. 

Another sad goodbye.
