Me and myself in Seoul

I took a short little break this morning... alone.. for the first time in 10 days... i realised how much i missed being alone...

Armed with no map, just some cash in my pocket, my jacket and cap and not forgetting my camera, I was off for a little adventure on my own around the neighbourhood... Walking in Seoul in the cold spring wind feels good... my only agenda was to spend time with myself... the past 8 days spent with a single person every moment of the day proved to be too taxing for me... well, in a way it was good.. you come to a consensus for every decision you make, more pooled money to spend, companionship i guess... on the flipside, you do see the little things that irritate you and it irritates you to the core after 3 days and not to mention 10 days!

So I went off to the neighbourhood and saw new things which i never saw... tried a new coffee place and just sat at the window seats to watch the world go by... seoul was supposed to be a fast paced city but strangely, I was calm and peaceful without a sense of urgency with my coffee... i took new photos alone.. i found the place where they sell pet stuff and got a new toy for the two fellas at home... but i do wonder if my next travel plans should be to travel alone... i travelled to india alone.. *well, sort of* and honestly, I liked it... maybe I should add that to my bucket list... I wish to go back to india again though... there's so much stuff I have not seen there.. elephants, sand dunes and all... i digress...

Yes, she's asking what time I am going back cos she is anxious as she does not know where I have gone... she must be pissed with me in someway... i've become more individualistic and no longer the docile woman i used to be previously... i've become more 'unreasonable' if you know what i mean... of cos, there are times which i will shut up and let her have her way, most times, i speak and she being somebody who likes being pampered and coaxed, simply couldnt take it...

maybe its time to find another travel partner... maybe it is time to take off on my own...
