Gwanghwamun area




my last red bean soup for now...



YUM, YUM, YUM... at Samchungdong...

Insadong is ALWAYS crowded during the wkends!



...I'm starting to dislike it...I went back to look for this cafe that I liked but could NOT find it...oh well...

my lunch these days


LOVE the mango chicken salad from Shinsegae w/Kiwi dressing! Cool!

Chandeokgung



I was only able to see the gate...I got there way too late for the guided tour...dope...

What do you think about this building?


it's a post office in Myoung Dong...sure is eye catching!

more Pork pls!


dinner w/my Samsung friends at Myoung Dong...

a beautiful walk around Deoksugung





This is one of my favorite spot to walk along in Seoul...does not feel like I am in the hectic city!

Nosoo Pak


Solo show at National Museum of Contemporary Art Deouksugung.

Note to Tae: YOu should google his work...it's amazing! His use of color is intense with such old school, Korean sensibility into his art....I love that he only uses Hanji!

Deoksugung (palace)






I liked this one better then Gyeongbokgung. This palace is a lot smaller but the walk around it is more beautiful and charming. Plus , currently they are exibiting works by a Korean artist named Nosoo Pak...tomorrow is the last day of the show!

보쌈 for lunch


Was hesistant on trying but it wasn't bad at all...the meat was SUPER tender!

Sophia's grandma and I


The National Cemetary






Spring has arrived...this cemetary is only for the late Presidents of Korea and the many men who died in servicing their country.

CORSOCOMO



the biggest waffle ever with White Russian...yummy...drinking at any time of the day is totally a normal thing in Korea =)

새마을 식당


This is ultimately my favorite place to eat in Seoul...I love that there's a location EVERYWHERE!! Kimchi jigae and spicey port bbq with soju is the BEST~!

눈나무집


뗙갈비랑 김치말이 국수...so yummy...yes, I continue to eat...this was when Chouha was in town...

B and I


our cable car ride up to one of the mountains at Nae Jang San National Park...

옥정호


this is a view f/way up above a mountain that B and i climbed...we were so unprepared...at least B had an outfit for it but i was in my silly trench...got a headache once i was up there...B kept advising me to breathe with my tummy and i'm like, i duno how!!! every time we hiked up, my head kept spinning...but this view was great..that little island looks like a 'goldfish' from above...the best time to view is at crack of dawn but there was no way we were getting up that early!

동내 할며니들



the neighborhood Grannies...they were all so sweet and friendly...greeted my friend and i into their little hang out place...fed us lunch...knew my parents and even remembered me as well! it was the best part of my road trip...
