Yes I was told

It's spring time, the blossoms are beautiful, the sun is shining, there are more people out and the nasty cold has gone. I've now been living in Seoul South Korea for 8 weeks and I feel the initial honey moon period is over. :(

I was told this would happen by everyone who I have met and have been here for longer. I remember thinking, but how could you get bored here, its fascinating, there is so much to see, it is so different. The naive thoughts of a newbie.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not bored, I'm not homesick it just turns out that life gets in the way. Let me explain.

Basically I realised that I can't keep going the way I did for the first month I was here. I seemed to have a never ending supply of energy, I visited a new place each night for dinner, I  met up with new and exciting people all the time. I walked for hours around new places and over planned at work because I had so many ideas. Don Don Don. A month later and reality hits. Working a 9-5 job totally zaps the energy out of me. By the time I finish work all I want to do is go home and have a feed and chill out. Last week I pushed myself to do something after work each night but this week I've been out once and that was enough for me. It's a really weird feeling because I want to see everything and there are so many opportunites to meet up with people but then I simply do not have the energy. Basically I think it all comes down to the fact that although I truly love my job I wish I could just travel for the year and  have more than 2 full days a week to explore. But I guess that is life huh, unless maybe I can find myself a rich man who can pay for my wunderlustful life style.  (comment below if you fit this criteria) Bahahaha keep dreaming SAM.
