What an unclear thing to do. The doctors don't speak english and I really don't understand Korean. Everything sounds the same to me for now. But in some way I got to get it done in 3 hours. From blood and urine tests to blood pressure (100/67 BOOM!!!) to eye sight tests, colour tests as well as hearing tests and x-rays of my lungs was all done in a mysterious way since I have no clue what they are saying. We went up and down, up and down the hospital to get it all done. From one doctor to another.
Luckily I had my Co-teacher with me to sort out the language barrier a little between the Doctor and myself. And it's quite funny how all woman apparently have a thing about men knowing their weight because I didn't say a word and then he commented and said "I'm not watching, don't worry" but he was clearly watching haha. I have no problem with that but it's just a funny observation I made today.
And now it's the wait for the blood and urine results. Hope it all looks good in the end.
A week later:
My health tests came back looking great expect for my liver toxicity levels being to high. It must have been the glass of red wine I had in Cape Town at the airport before I left. I really had to drink a little to give me some dutch courage and calm my nerves. But other than that everything looked good. So say hallo to the lady receiving her Korean ID soon.
I flew out of the nest away from home. This nest (my parents) was my safe haven for about, well my whole life and although I moved to another town to go study, home was only about 30 min away. Now, I'm spreading my wings and flying into the unknown. Whilst I'm on my journey of self -discovery and explorations I would like to share my experiences with you. Hopefully I will inspire someone to follow their dreams as well. I am making memories all over the world.
