Four months was too long for me to stay in Korea, so in order to renew my stay, I planned a short trip to Japan. Specifically, I chose Osaka because I already had a two page list of the best restaurants and places to visit. Although I had initially planned to go there, the trip never materialized. I never thought I would visit so soon, especially to address unexpected problems. While enjoying yakiniku and admiring the pastel-toned buildings, it suddenly made sense why the person liked the mint green color and had a strong desire to return to fill their stomach with the food that they always talked about. I believe that everything happens for a reason, but you never know the exact time when you might realize the purpose of a situation. It can happen randomly, whether it's after one hour or fifteen years.
