So I'm about almost a week into my first stop which is south korea. And this is probably the loneliest I've been in my entire life, no one looks or talks to me and even though I am not really adept Korean but I do try and even my attempts are brushed off.
Every time I call my parents or any family because I'm in a different time zone I always seem to miss them. I definitely was not ready for the loneliness and isolation that is seeming to take hold and I'm not sure how to break the cycle. I don't want the next 2/3 weeks to go by like this. Because I was really looking forward to this trip. No one looks at me except for the occasional glance because I am a foreigner (black female) but other than that no one seems to want to talk to me or initiate conversation even when I try to in my broken Korean and English.
I did try to enter a establishment to eat once so far, it was a beer and chicken place but the owner shooed me off and from what I could decipher she kept saying no, go and not allowed. It was humiliating. My trip is not off to a very good start and at this point I kinda wanna go home.
