Pain.

I’ve been having a very bad backache for these two days. The pain is at my lower back and while it’s not those kind of sharp pain, it feels like something straining over there. Not too sure why that is so, hopefully a few days of good rest can do some good.

We are already into the third month of the year and I have to say the past couple of months have really zoomed past. It seemed almost like yesterday that we were celebrating a new decade, and now we are already looking forward to Easter, which is about a month away!

For Easter, I actually have plans to go to Korea with my sister. She’s been wanting to go to Korea for quite a while now, and ever since I suddenly went there last September, she’s been raring to go there. For me, I actually quite like Korea. First of all it’s cheaper than Japan, so even when I was in Seoul, the place feels like Hong Kong in terms of spending. And given that it’s pretty similar to Japan in terms of how the place is developed, it really isn’t too hard trying to survive there. The only down point is perhaps communication. Getting around on my own is fine, as a lot of the train maps or signposts have English words which I could read. But once I get stuck, things become difficult. Very few people in Korea speak English, so it certainly doesn’t hurt to know a few Korean phrases and frequently used words when you are there!

Right now for the trip to Korea, we are fretting over the air tickets – we’ve got the hotel secured already – and because it’s the holiday season, it definitely isn’t easy to get tickets. We’ll be asking around tomorrow, hopefully we can get them. It will be great to go there are see the sakuras!
