A few days ago I met a monk while trekking from Kalaw to Inle Lake. – His robes were the color of wine and his smile was as welcoming as an umbrella in a rainy day. – “What troubles you?” he asked me. – “Well, my feet are tired, my socks are wet and my shoes are muddy…but nothing troubles me. Physical discomfort is a small price to pay in order to appreciate the wonders of the world” I replied. – He smiled at me and then we talked for what seemed like hours about philosophy and how we’re not humans having a spiritual experience but rather we’re spirits having a human experience. – As dinner time at the monastery approached, we parted ways and he gave a Buddhist advice: “never make someone a priority when all you are to them is an option”. – Sure, later I found out that it was actually a Maya Angelou quote but the point remains the same: treasure your loved ones my wonder friends!!! – Have an amazing Tuesday of Wonders !!! 🇰🇷 🙏🏾 😊!!! – – – #jogyesa #seoulcity #seoulkorea #temple #buddhism #mayaangelou #quotes #buddha #seoulkorea #southkorean #quotes #wisdom #buddha #buddhaquotes

Eat Street Food

Instead of eating at a restaurant, hit the food stalls on the side of the road. You’ll find plenty of cheap eats and lots of yummy ramen.

Go For a Stroll

Seoul is a city you can interact with without having to pay a penny. Walking around stunning villages like Bukchon Hanok Village is completely free and a wonderful way to spend the afternoon.
