A huge part of the Jindo trip was to make friends. Living in a village means limited people to communicate with effortlessly and who don’t stare at me like an alien. I felt like I was suffocating. Starved for meaningful and warm interactions. After organizing this trip, I realized I am not the only one. All of these guys and gals we met at Orientation. After this trip I realize that orientation is kinda like kindergarten. Your childhood friends stay with you for life even if you haven’t seen each other for 30 years or more. These are friends I made in the infancy of living in South Korea and I am so happy we all made it happen!Â
The day was pretty much dedicated to checking out the festival. Getting drinks and food, checking out the kpop concerts and then dancing it up at night to American cover bands. Then capping the night off with a giant slumber party. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend.Â
