The girl in Korea

There was a lady I met on the plane to Korea. I was coming from my first trip to LA, had a layover for 3 hours in Korea, and then I was finally going to get to the Philippines. Her son sat next to the window, he was 4 years old. The husband didn’t speak English and sat in the seat in front of her with her daughter who had motion sickness the whole way there. It’s 13 hours to get to Korea.

Her son kept having to go to the bathroom. So I had to keep getting up and she felt sorry every time having to ask me, but I totally understood. My sister has kids, I was just staying with my friend in LA who had a 10 month old. I was the most patient passenger, and they weren’t crying so it wasn’t that hard to get up when he needed to go.

It’s interesting when you’re sitting next to a stranger, and you feel like there’s all this space between you, like you can tell them anything because you’ll probably never see them again. I have it happen to me all the time traveling but this was a long and particular instance.

I love Korean airlines, I really do. They give you a toothbrush, slippers, korean food, and Korean movies. I asked her what was good to watch and she asked me if I liked horror. I said no, not this flight, being a lone with a layover in Korea, I need to be as happy as possible. Comedy and Romance is more my speed.

I learned a lot about this girl. That she moved to California when she was 12 years old. That she loves coffee and used to be a barista. I looked over while I was watching a Korean Soap Opera and she was watching Super Bad. She told me she goes to Korea every Christmas to see her family and when they get to Seoul she has another 4 hour drive. She said it’s the only time they get to see her kids. A flight to Korea for 4 people must be so expensive.

She mentioned at some point when she moved to the States, she was 12, and it was 2004. So, when I looked at her, I said, I think we’re the same age. She told me she was 31, and I said me too. “You’re really young.” I said. She said she had her daughter at 25 years old. The difference of our lives, even though we’re the same age is immense. Seems that having kids is just really hard especially traveling with them. I left my boyfriend, job, and home to travel a lone to see family and friends. I also thought if I stayed with the guy I was with at 25, how different my life would’ve been.

I told her how impressed I was that her kids speak Korean and she told me her husband doesn’t speak English. She feels bad for her 6 year old daughter because she doesn’t have many friends. Her teachers are saying she needs to be held back and she remembers exactly what that felt like when she just moved to America. I let her know that when her daughter gets older, she’ll be really thankful that she can speak Korean. It’s important to pass that down. When we finally were about to arrive, she asked me is your mother picking you up in Manila? I said, “My mom died a long time ago in 2004, it’s how I knew we were the same age, I was 12 when she died, same as you when you moved to the States.” She told me her mother died too, right before her daughter was born, she didn’t get to meet her. I said, our mothers would be proud that we’re going home. She smiled, and landed in Seoul Korea.

Backpacking Philippines 2019 Part 3

Siniloan

I will always have a special place in my heart for Siniloan, Laguna. Siniloan is a province in the Philippines about 2 hours away from Manila. In Siniloan there are rice fields, nature, animals and when we were kids we used to go swimming in the resorts, and they have the most beautiful churches.

The hikes have amazing scenery. We would swim under waterfalls and rivers. Since I was 5 years old before I’d ever gone there. I would say, I wish I lived on a farm. I wanted animals, nature, peace and quiet. I didn’t know that’s exactly where my grandmother was from.

I was really happy to show my friend Dani where my Mommy Leonie (Grandma) grew up. My mom spent her summers in Laguna. Since it’s on the other side of the world, summer starts November. When school was on summer break that’s where they would vacation.

The first place we went to was the Mausoleum where my mother, grandmother, and all the Flores Family are buried. A mausoleum is an above ground grave covered in stone. Like a monument or burial chamber. It’s beautiful and we don’t have them in the states.

When I brought my friend from LA there for the first time, she said, “you’re really lucky to have this place” She’s a lot like me in the sense where we really value nature and adventures.

If you’re American, it’s rare to know exactly where your family is from. Mainly because a lot of us are third or fourth generation. I look Eastern European, however I have no idea where my grandparents are exactly from in Poland or Czech Republic. I hope to find out one day.

My friend is a vegetarian, and you would think it’d be hard feeding her but it costs less than $5 to make vegetables and it’s all fresh. She loves animals especially birds, and enjoyed seeing all the chickens the most. We went swimming in natural pools and saw waterfalls. Her favorite thing to do was watch Filipino TV shows with my Aunt. Typical soap opera where the man has another woman and gets caught of course.

It rained while we were there and we went around as passengers on my cousin’s scooter. We did a boat ride with a boatman at Pagsanjan. This boatman used his entire body to take us on a ride through miles of a river and waterfalls. When I talk about it to other people, they really want an “authentic” experience like this. So I see it really having tourism come in the next few years.The only other place I can remotely compare to is Chiangmai, Thailand.

San Juan City

The rest of this backpacking trip was staying with family. I got to show my friend Green Hills Mall. Eating, getting our hair done, shopping, eating again is all we really did. She just loved having a local experience and seeing my family.

Seeing family is the basis of the appeal of going to the Philippines as much as I do. I’ve only gone with my mom twice, when I was 7 and 9, when she was a live. Now I’m 31 and have been there 7 times in total visiting her grave and her family . I’ll probably keep going back the rest of my life.

In the States it’s so hard to get quality time with family members. Everyone’s always working. When I take a trip there I don’t have to worry about work and if you have some savings, you can enjoy your free time with them.

When I see my cousins, no matter how old we get, we’re the same. Our memories from those trips while growing up have bonded us. We go a long time without seeing each other. When I get to see them, it feels like I was just there the day before. Even when I hangout with my cousins, I still feel like a little kid. Playing games, eating good food, and just chilling. So I spent time with family in Manila and did a solo trip with my sister by bus to Laguna again just to get out of the city. It was cheap and it took forever, but when we arrived we had to take a tricycle to bring us to Siniloan. Luckily my cousin pointed me out in the tricycle, while walking, during one of their festivals. Definitely got charged the foreigner fee.

This province always has a festival going on. People are outside in the street and I really love it. I was able to soak up as much as possible before going home. I’m glad I did because of the pandemic I had to wait another 4 years to go back. So it’s important to really be present til the next time. When I left the Philippines in 2019, after spending one on one time with my family. I flew back to LA for my layover. I had to grab my bags in Studio City, say bye and hug my friends, and move back to New York City. Actually Brooklyn. It was awesome because I had my little bag with me from the Philippines and my big suitcase I moved home with waiting for me at my friend’s house in LA.

Before hopping on a plane bound for Hawai'i, made a scenic stop. Had to get as high as possible for the best view. ❤ #viewfromthetop #realplaces #balance #tryingtolookcool #findyourwanderlust #travel #seetheworld #solofemaletraveler #smile #newzealand #travelnz #alltheplaces #femaletravel #worldsoutside #worldtravel #adventure #adventureisoutthere #explorenz #explore #winterfashion #fridaythe13th (at Dunedin, New Zealand)
