since it’s over, I feel like I am responsible to tell you that there are completely no more Cherry Blossoms around Sinchon anymore. and I don’t think they have it anywhere else either since it’s gone for 2 weeks already. sucks because I was so busy with school during the perfect blooming time. but it wasn’t so bad because we have it all around my school and Sinchon.
random spring flowers. and now most trees turned green =S. Continue reading “[Seoul] Cherry Blossoms. <3.”
don’t mean to cheat you on reading this post. but I am super duper busy and is going for a school organized trip tomorrow to see bullfight at Cheongdo. 3 hours ride. will be staying over for the night and will be back late on Sunday! so I am blogging here and now at 1:50 just yo show you a littttttle of Korea’s awesome Cherry Blossoms. I think my university have the best view. apparently Kyunghee has awesome view as well but it’s too far for me to go to T_T. and the green leaves have grown out now….. so it wouldn’t be nice anymore
can you guess what that paper is for? hehe. CANZ YOU SEE THE AWESOMEZ CHERRY BLOSSOMS BEHIND?! yes this was taken in Yonsei. =D. Continue reading “Yonsei’s Cherry Blossom : Preview!”
so spring is here and beod-kkot 벚꽃 or Cherry Blossoms bloomed here at Yeouido 여의도.
the view from Yeouido =3. with a balloon stuck on the tree. here you would see helium balloons getting stuck on trees very often. Continue reading “[Seoul: Yeouido] Yeouido Cherry Blossom 2012”
first of all, before you start reading/looking through my post, I would like to warn you that this is a 60+ picture post. and also the pictures are tuned to high saturation so the real thing might not be as colourful as what you will see later on but it’s nonetheless very beautiful =D.
so, shall we start the tour?
you shall know your tour guide of the day, JAMIE SSI! Continue reading “YONSEI SPRING TOUR! =D.”
THIS. is. Cheonggyecheon Stream.
little did I know, this beautiful stream was once a drain when somebody awesome had the idea to turn it into one of Seoul’s major attraction today.
this is only my MORNING Cheonggyecheon post. I am looking forward on going there again at night as I’ve heard that it’s even more beautiful. but I’ve always loved the sunlight when it comes to photographing. hmm. Continue reading “the drain that turned into a stream.”
the other day the wind was blowing so hard and it later snowed. we had no where to go but into an enclosed place so we decided to go to COEX Mall. getting to Samsung Station is pretty far from the Sinchon (Hongdae, Edae) area but is close to places like Gangnam.
this is not COEX hahah. it’s actually the huge installation art outside U-Plex. Continue reading “[Seoul: Samsung] COEX Mall.”
WELCOME TO HONGIK UNIVERSITY! see that bridge thingy in front? thats Hongik. and this is the road you’re supposed to walk at if you’re heading to the Hongdae Free Market on Saturdays. just take a right turn nearby Hongik =D. Continue reading “[Seoul: Hongdae] Hongdae 홍대 in the day.”
although Seoul is quite an affordable place to shop at, most things are pretty (to me, VERY.) expensive especially if you shop at malls liek Doota and so on. other than Dongdaemun, the alternative choice is Edae. I’ve previously blogged about Edae briefly but I would like to focus more on this one super crowded lane in Edae.
I went there about 5 and it was REALLY REALLY crowded.
like this. on your way walking to Ewha Univ. there is a smaller lane on the left with a lot of people. and there is where you should start your shopping adventure. Continue reading “[Seoul: Edae] Shopping Heaven”
one of the best places in Seoul for cheap shopping is Edae. you pronounce it as ee-dae.
but of course, you don’t shop on the main street of Edae. go to the smaller alleys. =D. Continue reading “[Seoul: Edae] Ewha University Street.”
or the Hongdae Art Market as how I would prefer to call it.
located right next to the Hongdae playground, this little flea market is pretty interesting. mostly things handmade. I dare not go close to each shop to capture their products as some had a no picture sign on it. =(. if I am not mistaken some of the vendors are students from Hongik University =D.
opens at 1pm every Saturday (from March to November) Continue reading “[Seoul: Hongdae] Hongdae Free Market.”
