Back in England


I know, I know... it's terrible... I haven't written anything for about five months. If it is of any consolations I always thought about doing it, but I have been too busy on thinking...
Well, actually a few things have changed since last time I updated my blog and will try to summarize them very quickly. I left South Korea the 3rd of November last year and as soon as I got out of the mad Korean rushing life, I missed it. Fortunately, I did not have much time to feel particularly nostalgic, as we jumped in a plane to Bangkok ready to enjoy our SIX- and I say SIX- weeks holiday. We spent a couple of weeks in Thailand, first in the capital then in a lovely island called Ko-Lanta. I loved the spicy fresh Thai food and the gorgeous beaches. I have to admit that, at first, the big move from the Korean working life to the heaven made quite difficult to appreciate silence, calmness, the absence of schedules to respect, long hours of sleep and being barefoot all the time (which I love!). I got there pretty soon, anyway.

Then, we went to Vietnam and visited Hanoi, which was like a lovely mixture of French and Chinese images and colours. Pity for the pollution, though.
A quick trip to the historical Hue whose changeable and nasty weather was more impressive than the city in itself...
Hoi-An: it was like a small pretty painting missing the frame. Even the houses seemed to be painted in watercolours. Adorable.
We got a couple (or more) of tailor made suits and they haven't fallen in pieces yet.

We spent the last two weeks back in Thailand, before the big return to Europe. I went to Italy to finally visit my family and Rob went to England. After reciprocal visits and bla bla, we are now back in the UK and preparing for the next move: LONDON.
No Hong Kong as planned, no Spain or France, but London. I love London. Although, it is painfully expensive and I am dying to have a job, I love this city.

So, that's it. I am here and starting again. New life, new job (hopefully very soon!), new flat (soon as well, I hope!) and new... no, boyfriend is still the same :)

A presto
