We’re gearing up as a family to take a trip to Korea & Japan. It’s exciting for my kids as they love travel and the idea of travelling half way around the world.

I have a bit of mixed feelings as it will probably be the last time I see my Grandmother who’s also my last remaining Grandparent. It might also be the last time I visit the place that I was born in and with such little time to spend there it feels like I won’t be able to take it all in.

I don’t have many memories left of my childhood in Seoul, but of the ones I have I remember spending time with my grandparents on my dad’s side. I remember hanging off of my grandpa everywhere he went, until it was lunch or dinner time when it was the only time he was strict with me because I was such a picky eater and he had been through a war famine or two. That’s when my grandma would sit in between us and have him lower his voice. I miss her and I can’t wait to see her.
