I felt a lot better today, so decided to join some of my friends and go on a little adventure. Today I went to a Korean church. I didn't understand a word. But I really enjoyed it. It was so nice to just 'be,' to have a bit of space to be quiet and listen for a change. Pray and meditate over life and your surroundings. It was a welcome little peaceful moment to nicely punctuate a hectic few weeks. It made me realise that sometimes you don't have to be able to tell what someone is saying to be able to tell who they are. I have no idea what the speaker guy was saying, but there was something about him that was just so kind and gentle. Afterwards we stayed for lunch and had some fantastic Korean food (thankfully without the fish which tastes grose and all seems to smell like rotten entrails.) They like things very spicy, which I am loving, and eat rice with every meal. The people were so friendly, and it turns out, I was the second ever white person to go there (which explains the initial stares.)
It was in Taipei so by the time we got back I was really tired so had a chilled out evening and an early night.
