Jjim Dalg 찜닭 and 100%

only found in the last 10-20 years, Andong Jjimdalg is a very famous Korean Dish. I myself, am a big fan of this dish but I do not always eat this dish because it is not cheap U_U.

[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!

2012년11월25일

I was lucky enough to get my tickets for Inkigayo (famous for being super difficult to get. but because this time they give priority to tourists that’s why I got it.) thanks to KTO (Korea Tourism Organization). lucky I applied from 2 different sites at least I got one U_U. it starts at 3something but I was there since 1pm. and to my surprise, I live only 10 minutes away from the CJ Entertainment and SBS building by bus.

PSY’s FREE Concert

although I am a little late, I would still like to tell you about my experience.

it was held in City Hall on early October filled with what I heard 700,000people. I just wanted to be a part of this historical day, so I went even though late. at 9pm. it was as expected, super packed. and I was hamburgered all the way there until I finally settled a spot maybe 150meters away from the stage.

got this Pepero off the streets with an amulet stuck in front saying that I will get a partner this Pepero day (which did not come true). but I am lucky as I’ve gotten a few Pepero from my friends ^_^ at least I don’t feel so lonely =3. Continue reading “Happy Pepero Day! 11.11~”

Oppa Sinchon Style!

thought it’s nice to share this video with you guys. I laughed throughout the whole vid. because these places are all very familiar places to me, it’s all shot in Sinchon and inside the Yonsei Campus lol. the bar included inside is Bar Fly. awkward moment when I noticed that they actually filmed so parts in the Library where I won’t even dare talk louder haha. but of course part of the INSIDE the study room shots were shot at the not so popular study rooms, the more popular study rooms are.. always filled and if you whisper to your friend even you’d get scolded haha.

don’t know who are they but, GOOD JOB! Continue reading “Oppa Sinchon Style!”

[Seoul: Hongdae] Luxury Su

was never too much of a fan of Karaoke’s. until I met Noraebang. Noraebang means “song room” in direct translation. you got it right, Norae means song and Bang means room! there are a lot of “rooms” here. like PCbang, Multibang (where you play nintendo wii to watching your favourite movies. heard they sanitize the “seats” there because underage kids go to a multibang as they can’t get a “room”. hahah. so if a guy wants to bring you to a multibang ONE ON ONE, think twice.), Jjimjilbang… and any other bangs these Koreans can think of.

BoA’s Only One filming location @ aA The Design Museum, Hongdae

aA The Design Museum @ Hongdae. I can’t really recommend you where to go because MOST of the Cafe’s in Hongdae are pretty and are priced at the same range and have yummy drinks all in all. but it’s right at the end of the Hongdae Road near that SangSangMadang area crossing the famous Ddeokbokki shop and turn left then right.

this place is HUGE. like HUGE. very spacious. there are 2 types of cafes. one are the huge ones like this one. another type are the small cozy little ones which I can assure you that they’re real good places to hang out at as well.
