[Seoul: Namsan] Hiking Up Namsan Tower

one of the things I’ve always wanted to do is hike up Namsan Tower during Autumn and I did! well it’s already winter now but you can do the same for Spring, Summer or Autumn because it’s a good time to hike up. I took the cable car before and I think it’s an utter waste of money and time. why do I say time? because the queue is madness. why not just enjoy the nature while hiking up? it isn’t as difficult as it may seem. I am a weak girl who doesn’t ever exercise and I am saying this so you can take my word for it. but if you have an elderly with you of course taking the cable car (or the taxi) would be a better choice.

I blogged about the directions before so look for it at my older Namsan posts! but anyway, this is the start of the trail. many trees still green. either that or bald. the weather this time around was pretty bad because it rained so bad and the autumn leaves fall so quickly.

[Seoul: Edae] make your own cake!

the good thing about living in Korea is that there are 101 types of different activities for lovers. well, not only lovers can do these sort of stuff sometimes. we were the only ones who were not preparing the cake for our lovers. but we still had loads of fun!

every stick costs 700won. expensive. yes I know. 2 Marshmallow costs 1000won. 2 puny Marshmallows. hah. I can buy a whole bag of it from Olive Young or Watsons with that price. well if you are a cheapskate like me you can always leave a space on the cake and buy your marshmallows and decorations later =P.

Yonsei’s Winter Sonata II

우리의 우아한 선생님 박연경이에요~ 귀엽고 웃기는 쌤이다. 수업을 잘 가르쳐서 우리도 끄덕끄덕기만 했다. 넘 사랑해서 뭐 해주면 좋을 까? 그래서… 케이크를 해줬다.

Yonsei’s Winter Sonata I

these pictures are from the 2nd last day of school. where we were already feeling blue. we left school and headed for a really nice Chinese restaurant (and bloody ex T_____T) for our class gathering. but before that we took the long road to the restaurant and hence passed by the beautiful park from the language school to the main gate.

IT IS SNOWING HERE!

I’ve always thought about what to do when it snows…

should I make a snow angel

should I participate in a snow fight

should I get a boyfriend just to feel like I am in the movies

but no. none of these. because when it really did snow today, all I want to do is just look at it. it’s so beautiful. it’s the first (heavy) snow I’ve ever seen. it feels so amazing. even though I have been slipping and falling hurting my knees and hands from all those unnoticeable ice on the floor. it’s just so slippery and I have no proper shoes to accommodate the weather. I need new shoes =S. now I get why people say living in a 4 season country is expensive. it’s true. sigh especially winter clothes they are madness. but that’s not the point of this post. just want to show you how pretty it is!

we were in the middle of a lecture (pansori, the most boring traditional story song ever to listen to but fun learning it) and came out during out 10 minutes break time because we were already admiring the snow from the inside. and that is my cute Japanese classmate, Megumi!

[Seoul: Busan] Madame Tussauds Busan

because my parents weren’t too into waxed figures when we were in HK so she told me “you will definitely come back here with your friends and you can visit it then”. but instead of HK, I came to the one in Busan. there’s one in Jeju too I think.
