Ahh the cold weather blues. I don't know about you, but winter is my least favorite season. I hate to say it, but it's true. Less day light so my mood is more blue. If it snows/sleets/rains I stay inside while listening to the blues (well, jazz really). And freezing cold temperatures so my poor toes and fingers literally turn blue (p.s. if you live in a warm climate and you voluntarily travel to the cold... must be nice. All I got to say on that...).

Well there are some good things about winter. Hot chocolate by the fire (if you don't live in Korea like me), cuddling and getting cozy, cute winter boots, and winter sports! In the winter you can go tubing, snowboarding, skiing, while simultaneously falling gracefully (aka crashing) in the snow! It's a comfort to know that the joy of these activities can relieve your winter blues in a jiffy, especially if you're with good company and a few evening cocktails. So thinking about these things doesn't give me the blues, but sometimes thinking of the journey to get there does...

So it's the night before your big trip. You're in a slight panic running around the house looking for your favorite shirt or making a "quick" trip to the travel-sized aisle in Target (quick, haha - laughable). You're traveling to 'insert your destination of choice here' tomorrow and you want to make sure you're not forgetting anything... like you did the last time. How did I forget my toothbrush!? And the time before that. Where's my phone charger!!!??? 

Well you've been looking forward to this trip for a while now and you're not going to let forgetting a few items hold you back from enjoying your well earned spot on the beach. So you purchase a toothbrush at the airport for about the price of a sandwich and a charger there as well for about double the price it would normally cost. That's about $50 bucks that you could've spent on more souvenirs, a nicer dinner experience, or upgrading your package at the spa, but c'est la vie. Right?...

You know that guy you dated and you were like he's nice and all, but what can he really offer? So you forget and move on until years later when you realize he was a great catch and is now married with 2 children and a goldendoodle puppy? Anyone? Well that's kiiiiinda what happened with this video. I made it well over a year ago at the request of a few others who were also moving to South Korea at the same time as me. I filmed it, let the few of them know it was made, and then forgot about...
