I was thinking just take a break because of my studies and not very convenient, but after some time I decided to go and have a try, it turned out to be unbreakable.. Every Saturday I went for Aikido training and the memory is still vivid whenever I think back.. I remember every Saturday afternoon, sitting in the bus, passing-by
where, going off at which bus stop, walking through a university, where was the training center, and after that another an hour route by town bus back to my dormitory. I remember my first time looking for the exact place was confusing, even though I had arrived in the area with google map easily. On the way back, I remember one time I fell asleep when I woke up I was at the last bus stop and that was the last bus of the day.
Of course the people at the training center and the time we spent together there were most unforgettable, from the first day we met to my farewell day. A lovely teacher, special seniors and students.. Weekly a few hours of training together in the class and occasional trip to other town, seminar in Seoul for training and relax purposes in the weekend, for around 18 months, and I really had great time. I remember the first few months when I couldn't get what my teacher was talking, other students looked up the words in English using dictionary and then teacher tried his best to explain together with body language he could use while I was seriously perceiving the exact meaning. Later, things had become a lot easier as I learned more, and I was so happy to have met them and Aikido training and we were like a family. Now I miss them, and have been recalling about them frequently. Well, until next time I visit them, and I did promise to fly there again.. (did I?)
