Out on the streets with nomadic Michelle: Seoul Sister: You have to have Faith to meet Faith.

"You are never alone or helpless, the force that guides the stars is with you too."

Shrii Shrii Anandamurti

Whilst traveling there were many times where I found myself, lost, alone and not sure. Luckily though the Universe never let me down, whenever I thought I was lost I was found. I met interesting and amazing people who let me into their world. People were kind to me in a ways I least expected.

Clearly I'm not the only one who gets lost from time to time if they have these on the floor at the subway station.

Asking around in my circle of friends, for contacts in South Korea I was introduced to the nicest couple; they took care of me and showed me a good time. They introduced me to Corona Margarita’s, just what a girl on holiday needs.

Expect the unexpected, like speaking Zulu in South Korea! before I left South Africa I didn’t think I would bump into any Zulu speaking South Africans in Korea. Boy was I close minded about that, I met some lovely folks who offered me a roof over my head at any time and they showed me around Seoul. We are all connected.

Faith and I met at Seoul Station we had missed the last train. All it took was a “hello” and we were off to explore the nightlife in Itaewon.

Meeting Faith opened up another world of possibilities. I travelled to Busan, a coastal city to meet up with her for the weekend. I met the funniest, kindest and coolest people in Busan resulting in me having the time of my life - Gangnam Style!

Sometimes if you choose the beaten track and make your own in-roads, you will meet lady luck and really get immersed into someone else’s culture.

I met O’ ma at the sauna, I was naked in a plunge pool when this woman came up to me and stared. I figured my chest was at it again soliciting unnecessary attention. She couldn’t speak a word of English but the body speaks louder than any words. We fast became friends and I was invited to her home, introduced to the family and was spoilt with the most amazing meals. By the time I left SK I was weeping because of the relationship I had formed with my precious O’ma.
