Into the book
More than the richness that comes from the fancy term "overseas independent travel," the act of taking on that difficult task myself, coming to Greece and being here now, is the act itself that is more satisfying.
What I can do as I age without feeling helpless, like a young person, and what I can do as a young person is to have that positive mindset, courage, and confidence, the special things that come with being old.
It has meaning in itself.
--- p.24, from “The Real Reasons Why Traveling Is Good”
People watching is fun even in foreign countries.
There are all kinds of people in the world.
Even in front of the famous Eiffel Tower, the first thing that catches your eye is an elderly couple hugging and kissing in front of the tower, and then a young woman wearing a skimpy outfit that not only exposes her shoulders but also makes it seem like her nipples are showing.
When I see an old man drinking tea at an outdoor cafe, I try to guess whether he is older or younger than me.
--- p.28, from “People Watching”
“That could be true!” He knows how to both arm himself with confidence and shamelessly accept his ignorance.
Even if it is the other person's mistake, there is wisdom in laughing it off.
Because if there is an argument and we are separated, I know how unbearable loneliness and unstable the environment can be to be alone in a foreign country.
As you get older, you become afraid of being alone.
When you're young, you miss those wonderful words: alone, solitude, contemplation, but when you get older, you realize how scary those words are.
--- p.36, from "I Earned a Day!"
What kind of trip would I want to take that would make me risk everything I have left?
--- p.91, from “Advice from the Grandmother Next Door”
I couldn't walk along the railroad tracks, so I came out onto the wide road where the buses ran.
It wasn't a road worth walking on, but there was no other way.
I walked along the narrow road next to the road for almost an hour.
Five short Asian grandmothers, pulling carriers in a single file on a wide road with no houses around, must have looked strange to people.
Where on earth did those old ladies come from and where are they going?
--- p.102, from “Not the Beatles, but the Busan Grandmas”
Even if someone ignores you or treats you hostilely in your old age, do not be sad or angry.
It's not that he hates you, he just hates old age and the ugliness of your body.
--- p.156, from “Just Getting Old”
Well, I just think that when you're around 70, it's okay to be a little sick.
An age where you have to naturally accept your uncomfortable body.
All things in the world are born again, created again, used, utilized, and then aged.
And the old is replaced by the new.
It's the law of nature.
It's about accepting it.
--- p.164, from “An Age Where It’s Okay to Be a Little Hurt”
Today, my inspiration went out early in the morning to Seoul to attend a friend's son's wedding.
Of course, I went out alone when I was asleep.
They said they would serve breakfast on the bus.
My old man, who doesn't sleep in the morning, comes back after taking a walk around the neighborhood while I'm sleeping.
The old man who can't stand an empty stomach makes toast and eats it alone early in the morning.
It is not right to wake up your wife early to fill her stomach in the morning.
You should know that much as common sense so that you don't end up in a slump.
The washing machine is doing the laundry.
I sat in front of the computer at that time.
I take some rice cakes out of the fridge, melt them in the microwave, and eat them with a cup of coffee for breakfast.
I think about it again.
'It's so comfortable to be old.'
What I can do as I age without feeling helpless, like a young person, and what I can do as a young person is to have that positive mindset, courage, and confidence, the special things that come with being old.
It has meaning in itself.

Publisher's Review
I'm getting older, but there are still things I want to do.
Pulling a carrier instead of using a cane
Grandma's free overseas travel!
What age are you now? What are some things you want to do? Kim Won-hee, author of "I Became a Really Cool Grandmother," is just another ordinary grandmother from Busan.
She's just an ordinary grandmother, but she's adventurous, curious about what's happening in the world every day, happy to talk to young people, and encouraging her peers. She's a grandmother who knows how to live her life to the fullest.
So, I'm getting to the age where I should be using a cane, but instead I pack my bags and drag my suitcase.
There are many things I want to do, and there is no age limit for independent travel abroad.
Grandma Kim Won-hee's journey is a little different from that of young people.
Travel with different thoughts, different perspectives, and different appearances than them.
It can't be helped.
I have joint medicine, anti-inflammatory medication, and a hot pack in my bag, so I need to make sure I don't overdo it on my trip.
But in the travel destination I left behind, there is 'the time I lived and the time I passed', and those times confirm that 'it is not yet time to leave this world forever'.
In the travel destinations I visited to encounter scenes from movies and books, there were young people who greeted me with a broken Korean “Hello” and guided me along the way, locals enjoying a glass of draft beer at a morning pub, and even a 75-year-old Japanese grandmother, “Sister,” who was traveling the world alone with a backpack.
More than famous buildings, I am drawn to the lives of my peers in foreign countries, fascinated by the free spirit of young people, and my heart can be unlocked wherever I go.
I only knew the word 'reservation' as 'reservation', but if I hadn't traveled, I would never have known that the word 'book' also had the same meaning.
We create beautiful episodes by connecting with people of all ages from all over the world.
In this book, I talk about the experience of aging and the interesting insights and fresh perspectives that come with age that allow for a joyful life.
Everyone, it's possible at that age.
Auntie, grandma, grandmother? That's enough!
I'll tell you a really cool story about life in your 70s.
Who in the world can predict how they will age?
Grandma Kim Won-hee also didn't know she would become a 'grandma'.
Even though I already have children and grandchildren, and I know that I am a grandmother, when someone calls me, “Grandma, Grandma!” I don’t even realize that they are calling me and just sit there.
At 71, she is no longer an ajumma, so she is a 'haljumma', but I think she is still a 'grandmother'.
In our country, ‘old age’ is officially defined as 65 years old.
Even though I accepted aging so normally, I still felt sorry for not being just a 'grandmother', so I decided to become a 'really cool grandma'.
I've lived a long and hard life in this country, well past my prime, so I think I'm at an age where I can live my life as I please without any major problems.
However, contrary to my will, my body is gradually aging and my health is not what it used to be.
I've repeated this process many times: I prepare thoroughly, go out, and then come back saying, 'Oh, right!'
Sometimes I experience the generation gap, and sometimes I feel all kinds of sadness and pity for myself as I grow older.
My heart feels cold when I hear the news of an acquaintance who has passed away, and I say hello to the elderly students I meet at the welfare center.
You're living a really great life, but there are things you can't help but feel at that age.
Grandmother Kim Won-hee was born in 1950.
I was born during the Korean War, experienced everything, and tried everything.
How can one navigate a life that begins with "war" and continues with "overseas independent travel"? Grandma Kim Won-hee's honest and delightful anecdotes are packed into "I Became a Really Cool Grandmother," which is filled with her own unique story.
It contains stories that are fun, but sad when you look back, and sad, but funny when you look back.
Time passes and she gets older, but Grandma's bucket list just keeps growing.
I will try everything I can and want to do.
Grandma's life is enjoyable, and there are many good things about getting older.
Seniors, as you turn the corner in life, we hope that the second half of your life will still be an enjoyable adventure.
