Flight of the Chingoos
So, i'm finally in a place where I can write about the last few days. Had I written this maybe 48 hours ago, it would've been total gush-fest, going on and on about how horrible it is to be so much more alone in this distant land. Certainly, the departure of each successive chingoo was a blow. How can you say goodbye to a group of people that have become completely interchangeable with the amazing experience and overall happiness i've had here? Walking around Sinchon after leaving the airport to drop off Ryo, Gelly and Amy (suffering from acute sleep deprivation of course) was like some 28 days later nightmare except instead of a zombie virus it was airplanes that snatched away my life. Nothing had changed, but everything was different. Leaving PC bang without going on and on about how hot PC bang girl is with james, ryo and seth was like some hollow imitation of the life i've become used to here. Previous accounts of me at my most 정신이 없어 were like totally shattered.
However, I feel as though the shock of this drawn-out experience has somewhat subsided and i've been able to contemplate the new course of my life here and of the friendships i've made. Silver, James, Ryo, Gelly, Amy, Katharina, Sylvia, soon to be Alex...overall i've just come to realize how lucky i am to have had you in my life at all. I mean, seriously, you're all so fucking cool! I really can't stress enough how amazing you all are, i've learned so much with and from you all and will always remember the awesome time we've had together... i feel like i've been to war or something with you (if this was WWII, I would totally be that alcoholic guy from office space thats in band of brothers). Although it's sad as balls that our friendships will never exist in the forms that they have here, i have no doubt that they will weather both time and distance (cut to me like 50 years in the future drinking and making obscene jokes with you guys in future-sinchon...complete with drunken 어저씨-bots hitting on future seth) If anything, the sadness of your departure just reaffirms your impact on me. Now it's time to explore new dimensions of these friendships and of my time in Korea. I mean, i'm starting the year with a two month pan-asian adventure with Hannah and Peter, what the fuck do i have to be depressed about? I know i'll see you again. To cut through the long-windedness, I truly love you guys.
Fuck, this totally did turn into a gush-fest...i'm such a pussy.
