3. Healing as Healing, Sightseeing as Sightseeing
Getting the chilly sea breeze of early March
on my face, I stepped up between the rocks. Walking below so I wouldn’t fall
down and taking a few steps, breathing hard and raising my head, any
exclamation dares to come out. I don’t even remember the last time I have seen
the scenery with any single artificial thing that disturbs my view. Was there
any time the end of your view would not meet an anonymous building in the end?
Hearing the background music that sounds of waves that can’t be imitated and
the sounds of winds make, I felt being left alone in this world. But weirdly, I
wasn’t lonely or sad. I was just surprised at the fact that if I get out only a
little from here, it is the city. I was rather depressed thinking what is the
use of writing these things in letters and taking photos with good cameras? I
wasn’t confident in expressing this feeling and sight. But I can’t ignore the
contradiction that if I want to share this appreciation I have to invite people
here, and that in order to do this I have to write this out. The intense agony
of ‘people who express something’ may always be something like this.
The Ikidae Park is somewhere between healing
and sightseeing. It is suitable for both who want to find a hidden attraction
for healing not a noisy tourist attraction, and those who have visited Busan
for sightseeing. The trip can be a healing one or a sightseeing one depending
on the course you choose. As for me, the Ikidae Park for last year was for
sightseeing, and this year was for healing.
I feel
sorry to say this in front of my current boyfriend, but the Ikidae Park last
year was one of the places I went on a date with my ex-boyfriend. So before this
trip, I worried being sentimentalized over the past memories, but surprisingly
nothing came into my mind. I don’t know whether I am emotionally barren, or
this scenery is way too ardent, but it is an evidence that the ex-boyfriend is
out of my memories now, so I feel less sorry to my current boyfriend. Of
course, this is a secret between the readers and I (laugh). The next Ikidae
Park will be a date walking on a new road ‘together.’ I have been here alone
and together. No matter you are couples or single, come visit this place.
