Gie Daily Life

As the end of the year is getting closer, I get some holiday from my Professor so I can spend my time with my friends. They coming over to Korea, so I want to accompany and show them around Seoul to get the best experience ^^ The very basic of the tour is starting from around the downtown area in Gwanghwamun. Showing them the traditional sense of Korea has made them being mesmerized for the Korean way of beauty. Despite I have been living for about 10 months in Seoul, sometimes there are always new things to discover in the city. It's always amazing to know that Seoul has stories from its citizen either waiting to be told or to be heard. For me, this time it's about Bukchon area. Despite this is so mainstream destination for tourist, but Bukchon is interesting for its Hanok architecture (traditional house) and local genius for its technology achievement. The pattern that was used on the exterior, and the way they work out the interior of the house is beautiful to me. ...

Today is such a good day. After spending the whole day at home - like Lazy Song by Bruno Mars - I just don't do anything at all. Laying on the bed, surviving the cold of winter, and occasionally went to the bathroom. If it's not for my hungry stomach, I won't really cook my food. And if it's not for the promise I made to meet my friend, I won't really go out today. But thanks to him, I got two blissful things: free food and camera lessons. The free food was provided by the events we went too. It was a culture day for the foreigners living in Korea held by the Global Center, and more like get-together event. The best part was that after the event they treated all of the participants with pizza! Hahaha! That's sure a thing! After we made sure that we were full enough (we planned to stay longer at the restaurants though), we went by the famous Cheonggyecheon Stream. There was Christmas event there, where they put LED lights along the river. My friends...
