It was August 24 and today was the day I was gonna move. The day before moving my parents gave me permission to go hang out with my friends, we went to six flags and had a fun time and cried together. My friend Jennie told me to say hi to any kpop idols for her if I ever saw any but at that time I did know anything about kpop. Back to present day I was getting my stuff ready and we were headed to the airport, my dad knew a friend in Korea that owned a building and asked him to come pick me up and rent a apartment for me which was nice. I cried so much when I was saying goodbye to my parents and whole family it was really sad. When I got on the plane I was so nervous cause it was my first time on a airplane without my parents but they told me whatever I needed to do to get to Korea and I jotted it down I my phone I was really sensitive and started crying cause I was so nervous for the new life ahead of me I started thinking maybe this is all going too fast for me I was not ready I started to think "bell (my nickname) your crazy why are you moving to a place you know nothing about like the language the tradition or the way they live Why did you think it would be that easy for you to start this new life"  but come on I'm half Korean anyways. I fell asleep and a flight attendant woke me up for breakfast and it was almost time to land. An hour later I got off the plane and In the air port their was a man holding a big sign saying "PARK SUYONG" I was surprised i went up to the man and told him my dads name and he recognized me. He then said " OH MY GOSH you have grown up so much suyong". I laughed and told him to call me bell since I did not like my name . He told me to be proud of my name since it was chosen by my parents. He drove me to my new apartment. I asked him about Seoul university he told me it was a good school and it was close to wear I lived. Once we got into my new apartment I started unpacking
and cleaning. The apartment was perfect for me Nice and cozy I started to put everything away and started decorating it as soon as I got there, it was 11:00 in the Morning so I started to decorate.

Never knew I could be in love with a kitchen. I now just had my room to get done but I was already tired so I decided to continue tomorrow.After 5 hours this was the result I was so proud. It was 4:00 and my dads friend who I now call uncle took me to a cafe and a tour around the place I lived. I quickly got dressed since I looked like a mess after cleaning and went out.The streets were so pretty

It looked all cozy and the people looked nice my uncle asked me why I wanted to move to Seoul I told him " I don't know I guess to start a new life I was tired of my old one I always wanted to travel and this was my chance and I took it"

We sat down and my uncle told me stuff about the place. I asked him if he knew anything about the school and he told me agian it was close to where I lived he said he was gonna take me there tomorrow. We got some coffee and later on we went home I was really tired so I skipped the tour. On my way home there were so many pretty people passing by and saying hi.

The next day I woke up and my body was aching. My uncle took me to the university to see what it looked like and it was huge he gave me a tour around the place and I think I had an idea of how I will get to school which was in a few days.
