안녕하세요~

Hello from Korea!
My, it feels like forever since I last wrote! It would seem that by now I should probably have many wild stories and fun pictures to share, but alas! All I get for Christmas is a nose stuffed with mucus and a throat full of phlegm.
That's right, I am sick for the second time this year! (Perfect timing, eh?) My throat hurts, my ears ache, my nose is totally backed up, and sometimes I'm afraid of suffocating on my own mucus T.T The most frustrating part of it all is that I have barely slept a wink these past few days, and here's why:
Everytime I try to sleep, I make an effort to breathe through my mouth. But as SOON as I start dozing, I automatically switch to my nose, which then produces the most annoying snore ever, which wakes me up again! What a viscious cycle! Not to mention, my dreams have become quite weird too... For the first time in my entire life, I jumped up from bed and panicked and searched my bed aimlessly, not knowing what was reality and what was a dream. Is this what they call "jet lag"? =.=
But thankfully, my Oppa has been by my side and tenderly caring for me~~ ♥ He makes me congee and stays by my bedside to ensure I can sleep well before going to his room (we ended up with separate single-bed rooms). He also went to the grocery store to get honey, pepper, and ginger for a phlegm remedy~

Anyways, I am surprisingly not worried about "wasting time" being sick. Perhaps it's because we were never rushing to visit a bunch of places/tourist attractions in the first place. Personally, I find it much more exciting to take a stroll and people-watch, rather than stare at ancient pottery through a glass. Plus, there are just too many temples/palaces to remember!! I'd much rather see what modern daily life in Korea is like, but again, that's just me. Just be forewarned that though I love traveling, I am not an ambitious tourist >"< !
How bout you, what do you like to do when you vaycay abroad? Are you determined to hit up all the famous tourist sites?

Okie, off to bed, bye!
