Rollercoaster

It's one week until I leave Korea.

Because of that and some other things going on in my life at the moment, my feelings are on a rollercoaster.

And at the same time I'm panicing because I feel like I haven't done, felt or experienced enough. I feel like I have too much to do and because of that I can't do anything. I'm just paralyzed.

I know, that I shouldn't let the stuff just hang and stress me. On Friday I'm gonna be done with exams. I hope I can stop stressing and just relax then. Because that's how I wanna spend my last times here: just relaxing and doing what I like the best.

I am positively surprised how my mind has already gotten quite ready for leaving though. My love story with Korea has come to a point where we have to go our own seperate ways. We have had some great, great times, but I know I gotta let go. It's no good feeling bad, you have to move on.

Mari jokes about when it's time to leave. When you start to like kimchi and when Korean men start to look gorgeous, it's time to leave Korea. :)

Today we ate dog. Koreans do that. And it's not pet dog that youre eating. Anyway we wanted to try that out and ordered some dishes of dog meat. It tasted like any other meat. It was just the uneasy atmosphere while eating that made it different.

But on the way to the restaurant we saw an odd thing. You know, I've written about demonstrations. But this was quite a one.

The demonstators were disabled people. That was not odd. What was odd was when the demonstration broke out to be violent.

Here you can see a shield of riot police (which was totally rediculous). And demonstrators trying to brake the wall. Imagine the situation: disabled people in their wheelchairs with motors trying to drive and push the wall of riot police. Dzzzzt, dzzzzt, as they drove their wheelchairs 2 km/h to the shield. I don't wanna make fun on anyone, but you have to admit that that kind of a situation is quite absurd.

There was one even fighting. He was kicking the shields.

Again bravo, Seoul. If there were no riot police provocating the demonstrators these violent incidents wouldn't happen. You could see that the demonstrators were feeling bad and just taking out their anger to the police.

In this case the police had problems too though. They couldn't use physical power against disabled people. So they couldn't really do anything. At one point some demonstrators got through the wall and all the police could do was to withdraw. Go wheelchairs! :)
