While in Nepal (Part 4 - Day 7 and 8)

It is a little late now... but better late than never.

I said goodbye to Nepal earlier today.

But first, a recap.


Day 7
Neha's mom was worried about my lonesome adventure -- I was planning to go explore parts of Kathmandu by myself -- not much, just Thamel and the Royal Palace museum... so instead I slept in. Kekeke, oh how I love my sleep.

We then packed and I realized that I wouldn't have another chance to buy last minute souvenirs. So yeah, off I went on my short and fun adventure. I had plans to go buy 2 shirts and 4 hats in Thamel... I returned with 1 shirt and 12 hats. OHHHHHH, the shopper's remorse that I have.

Oh wells, much to late for such regrets. I finished packing and later that evening, Neha's mom picked us up some pizza from a place that their family frequently orders from.

Pizza by lantern light on the floor :) Pizza was delicious and the talks were fun. Neha's dad opened up some wine -- what a classy family! Last chance to eat some momos -- oooooh, they were so delicious and filling, I'll miss them :(

Also, Neha's mom made a traditional Nepali fried donut... the name slips my mind, but it was also, like most everything I've eaten here in Nepal, delicious!

Finished a Bollywood film... Mausam... Can't say I cared too much for the plot because of the inconsistencies and questions... but... the actor was oh so gorgeous, haha.


Day 8
Woke up, last minute packing, last lunch. Sad times man, sad times.

Neha's family was oh-so-nice and everyone was so caring and generous and yeah, I had a great experience in Nepal. Needless to be said, this experience only makes me more thirsty for adventure and travel.

Arrived in Incheon after what felt like an eternity of a flight -- no really -- if there was one thing that would prevent me from traveling the world, it would be motion sickness -- not money, not jetlag, not the time, not anything, but the motion sickness I always experience. Curses.

Anyways, Neha and I parted inside the gate, but unfortunately I really didn't get to say a real goodbye.

:( Sad times.

All the readers of this blog and almost everyone who I have befriended in South Korea, knows how integral Neha has become to my life. I can't thank you enough for always having my back and being my constant companion. And always trying to guide me to become a better person -- more responsible, more assertive, more clear-minded...

But don't worry, this will not be the last mention of Neha that I will have on this blog. I anticipate many adventures and trips involving Neha in the future. And when I reminisce about my experiences here in South Korea, Neha will always be at the forefront of my thoughts.

In Neha's words: "See yah on the flip side."

Korean Beauty Products

I could go on a tangent about beauty standards in Korea... but I won't. My goal is to review the beauty products that I have bought and tried here in Korea. In case you've ever visited Korea or ever plan to visit Korea, one of the first things you will notice is the overabundance of makeup stores -- Etude House, Nature Republic, TheFaceShop, Innisfree, Missha, Saem, It's Skin, Hanskin, Aritaum... the list goes on. Most of these stores are easily seen in shopping areas, university areas, and subway stations. In many locations, 2 or more of the same branches can be found within a 1/2 radius... I kid you not. Anyways, my point is that with such an abundance of stores and beauty products, it can be difficult to decide what products are worth it... and which aren't. The below reviews are solely my own opinion and derive from my personal experience with said products, so take from it what you will. *** First off, I'm actually going to review a U.S. product I purc...

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!!

I wanted to add some funny or inspirational quote or image. I have nothing. Instead... the below is slightly amusing. In any case, as Thanksgiving was approaching, I realized that this is the first time I have celebrated Thanksgiving away from my family. It was a sobering and sad thought. I'm extremely grateful and thankful to have been blessed with my family and extended family, my friends, my mentors, my experiences, my life. And it needs to be said: I'm thankful to have all of you in my life. And I'm thankful for all your constant support and love. Anyways, what I wanted to say was that I hope everyone, especially all my loved ones (that means you!) will have an amazing, wonderful, joyful Thanksgiving. Hope you can share it with all your loved ones. P.S. If you are going Black Friday shopping, be safe! I looked at the ads, slim pickings this year, but the experience is always fun :) Happy Bargains!

Slow Down, I'm Moving Too Fast, You Know You Can't Catch Me

I went home to San Jose this previous weekend with Xuemin and though we didn't do much, except a small barbeque at the house, it was definitely nice just getting away from Berkeley. We tried a new pho restaurant, Pho Que Huoung, oh so disappointing. We also tried Hiro Sushi, also another disappointment (read Xuemin's yelp review for more details). But again, it takes tasting something not so stellar, to know what you consider delicious. We finished moving on to the new summer sublet on Wednesday and though it was a hassle, we have now settled in. At the time, I wasn't really thinking about the distance from campus but as I walked by at 9PM after my class ended, I definitely was conscious of everything -- the darkness, the shadiness, the distance... I miss our old studio :( Classes are going pretty good. I'm enjoying both the Antebellum U.S. history class and the Racism in U.S. Law course. In both courses, we have just finished discussing Andrew Jackson's pre...
