Dear Blog,

I have finally gotten out of quarantine! I have really enjoyed my time here so far. I have met a fantastic group of friends from all different parts of the United States and Canada. So far, we have explored multiple places and tourist attractions within Seoul. Some of the most notable activities I have done include dog, meerkat, cat cafes, going to Gangnam, seeing Starfield Coex Mall, eating great Asian cuisines, and going to Stylenanda. These activities are unique in that none of these sites are anywhere else; for example, I have never heard of a meerkat cafe anywhere else in the world. Not only that, but so many of these attractions have been displayed and shared on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and other social media platforms. Therefore, finally seeing these places in person has been so exciting and mindblowing. It has been such a breathtaking experience being here and seeing the Korean culture first hand. I absolutely can't wait for the rest of the weeks here!

Sincerely, 

Sophie
