Let's explore around Seoul a bit

So for the Easter weekend, I hung out with my friend and her family. Easter is the time to spend with the family so we decided to explore Seoul a bit before they flew back on Monday.
First, we stopped at 63 Building where we visited Seaworld, the Wax Museum and the Sky Art gallery at the top (which was actually just the 60th floor). Seaworld was very concerning for me as they have certain big animals in really tiny tanks, in general everything was small. I felt really bad for the animals.
Afterwards we had a quick bread lunch before deciding to go downtown to Changdokgung. A smaller palace located in downtown Seoul. Although the weather was windy, it was sunny and so it made it really nice to walk around the palace. Especially with all the beautiful flowers and trees around the palace. As usual there were a lot of people in places like these, especially school children and tourists. After that we went to the stream for a walk before stopping at baskin robbins to have something to drink.
The next day we went to the trick eye Museum in Hongdae. It was really cool. Paintings in which you can pose with as if you are part of the picture and various other knicks and knacks. It was very fun.



After the trick eye museum we went to Namsan Hanok Village where we saw a Taekwondo performance, a traditional wedding, and various other wedding photo shoots and the traditional Korean houses. It was really nice as well as there was the Namsan Park nearby. Very beautiful to walk through. The Taekwondo performance was very outstanding! I wish I could do Taekwondo but it looks very intense.

After our walk, we decided to eat out as it was my friend's family's last day in Seoul, we decided to eat out and have some Californian style pizza. It was soooo good! It was a very nice ending to the Easter weekend. 

It's really nice having people come visit us this semester since it makes us actually go out and explore Seoul a bit. My friends from Canada are coming here this week so I'm super excited. 
Who knows what kind of Seoul adventure we're going to embark on.

[REVIEW/FAN ACCOUNT] Xia Junsu Solo Concert

This is a review. A very laid back open personal review on the concert... maybe I should actually call it a fan-account... but I am going to be critical about it so... I shall call it a review. A review on Kim Junsu or Xia Junsu's solo concert. Yes. Anyways we arrived at around 2:30 at the venue and there were a lot of people already. Never underestimate Junsu fans. First thing first, we decided to get our fan goods. There was a total of 9 goods that you could buy but to be honest most of them look tacky and the only thing I wanted was a light stick and possibly a slogan because they looked classy. The line up to buy the goods was very long. So they tried to make it shorter by lining up everyone with 4 people per row. The weather was hot and it was a good thing those who were part of the Junsu's fan club started handing out small Junsu fans. I am so glad because although they were small, it helped quite a bit with the heat. Fan goods! The concert didn't start until...

M! Countdown + JJ PROJECT!!!

So... today. I decided to not go to class at all because I needed to see JJ Project's debut stage in person. Yes. I went to see this performance in person. It was completely worth it! JJ Project had a pre-recording, so it was nice to have their debut stage with only their fans. The time that was indicated on their fan cafe was at 9:30 but my friend and I came at around 8:30am. We got our numbers after sending in our names to the fan manager and I was originally number 15 but when it was time to line up again at 11:00, I was pushed up to number 11! We were given blue JYP wrist bands and the fan managers wrote our numbers on it. They also handed out the fan chants, a temporary large JJ Project banner AND they handed out a stamp card. The stamp card is really motivating me to go and see them for every performance. I brought my own and good thing we were allowed to use them. (Since some fan clubs are more anal about it then others.)    We got inside around 11:30 but we ...

Seoul Grand Park Zoo

Last weekend I actually did something interesting... at least on Saturday. We went to Seoul Grand Park, especially to the Zoo. It is located in the southern part of Seoul and the park is really a Grand one. The zoo, as well, was really really big. It was really cheap to get into as well. Only 3000KRW! We couldn't go around the whole zoo because it was a Saturday meaning there were a lot of people! I could walk and be at the zoo all day but with that many people at the same time, I had my limits. Being in Seoul made me realize how much I did not like being squished in between people. my roommate took the picture! ^^ Statue in front of the Ape Jungle! It was the 6 of us going to the Zoo this time. So we made our priorities on which animals we wanted to see and went there first. The zoo was humungous and was smartly divided. All similar species were together, or the animals that live together in real life were bunched together. Each section was themed. It was really cool! We wen...
