First Visit to Korea

First Visit to Korea Writers’ Cramp

In 1979
I first went to Korea
In those Peace Corps

After a long plane ride
My first international flight
I ended up in South Korea

At the old Gimpo airport
A chaotic crazy drive
Through Seoul

To the town of Chuncheon
Where we did our training course
For four months

First visit to another land
First foreign travel
To a strange land

Exotic people
Strange sounds and sights
And the smells of incense
And the food ah the food

But over time
Became my second home
45 years later

I returned to Korea
Ending up living
Next door to Gimpo airport
Where my journey began
45 years ago
