i already put all the pictures taken at Korea onto the website. there're too many, but don't want to throw them away. some of them might have no theme. even i don't remember where when or why i took them. just to capture the scene, the city probably. i always took the pictures when walking along the street, which i don't even know the name. hope you guys experience more about Korea through my pictures.
let's talk a bit about my interest in korea and the trip. since last mid-year, i've been so into korean entertainment. through tens of dramas and movies, i got to know more and learn more about korea, not only the country but the culture and its people also. i found it's really amazing how they put the every-life routine into dramas.
and i spent 2006 new year celebration at Seoul. it was great experience. i will never experience it other where else. the weather was a bit cruel for me, not a problem. i'm still alive. because it was the time of celebrations, everywhere decorated with lights. people looked happy. food are delicious as well. if you're not in such a hurry, stride and stroll along the street would be nice.
subway is best for tourists who've never been to korea. i was there for 8 days, i found that the best way to travel is taking the bus. taxi is most expensive one. the local taxi cost me 740KRW from Seoul Arts Center to Coex Shopping Center, not to mention the deluxe one. it's the best when you are in such hurry or to get to the exact place. i say, take taxi only when neccessary.
there are several walking streets and each got unique style. i like InSaDong the most. it's nice and neat. the architectural building, rocking street, light posts, souvenirs and food trolly. MyeongDong, ITaeWon and InSaDong can be in the same category. the others can be NamDaeMun, DongDaeMun and Doota. the former is for retail, pricy and brandy whileas the latter is for both retail and wholesale, reasonable price, better look carefully for the authentic ones. but if you don't mind the brand, as long as it's what your really need, you pay for it.
that's it. i will rest a bit till next time i'll put the pictures of Taiwan. there're less amount than those of Korea. hence, it consumes time. bare with me. surely before the end of febuary.
well, there's nothing exciting happened during this two weeks. my grandmother is sick. she's at hospital for couple of days now, i stayed over with her. wish that she's getting better and better. i'll tell you one thing, the patients are waiting for the visitors. if someone in your family is sick, please pay them a visit. eventhough it's only once, please do so.
i think that's it for today. can't think of anything new since my life is so simply slowly moving on. everyone please take care
missing all heaps,
la bonita 11 febuary 2006
