Nine years ago, awaiting the plane home, I reflected that despite “a thousand places in the world to visit, it’s hard not to want to come back here.”

We’re back!

Jenny hits it out of the park (per usual) booking us into Hostel Haru. So clean. So central. So comfy. With people-less all-electronic check in.

Last time Seoul felt familiar in a mystical sense, having never been before. This time it feels familiar from having been before. It smells right. Feels right. The street-food dinner tastes right. And I’m here with two of my three favorite adventurers (we miss you Isaac!)

Within four city blocks, Seoul bares her soul.
