91) Hello and Goodbye

James and Eric at the hookah bar


Last night Eric, James and I went out to Hongdae. It was James’ last night and Eric’s second (but his first night out in Korea). So, Eric and I met James at one of my favorite jazz clubs, Moonglow. So we listened to some music and talked, then went out for some calbi (like a grilled meat). After that, we went to one of James and my favorite bar/ lounge. It has a really great atmosphere and you can get hookahs there, so that was a fun way to welcome Eric, and say good-bye to James.

We didn’t stay out too late, as I had to work, and James had to get home and pack for his flight leaving the next day. I was sad to see James go, as we had spent a lot of time hanging out the past weeks and months, and he is good guy.

It is interesting how when you are leading a traveling life, people come and go from your life- and you come and go from others lives. It is nice in one way because you get to meet new people and experience new things. But it is hard in another way, because people are always coming and going, and it is hard to forge deep relationships. But in the end it is always fine.
