N Seoul Tower




I did all sorts of touristy things during my first trip to Seoul, and one of the places I visited was N Seoul Tower. I went there during daytime, since it is more popular at night.

There are different ways to go to N Seoul Tower. You can go there by cable car, by bus and even on foot. I chose to go by bus and walk all the way up to the top. I then took the cable car to go down, which I believe was not the best choice.


Aside from the majestic view, N Seoul Tower is popular for its colors at night, and the rows upon rows of love locks.

TIP: Bring your own padlock if you want to leave your behind. Padlocks are a bit expensive if you buy them on site.

I booked an "oppa" for my birthday. Here's what happened

Image
It's been almost ten years since I fell in love with everything Korean.

Fresh out of college, one of my first jobs is to teach English to Koreans. At first, I told myself that I wouldn't be too involved with the culture. I was studying for my Master's degree at that time and even when I started to fall in love with Korea, I consciously rejected the idea of shifting out of my major (Southeast Asia) to Korean studies.

My love for Korea started when a student taught me how to read and write in Korean. Being a history and culture buff, I started falling in love with everything about South Korea with every letter and word I learn from my "teacher."

I started listening to K-pop, and then I started watching Korean dramas. I started eating Korean food and even ~daydreamed~ of having a Korean boyfriend.

One of the first things I learned about Korean culture is that they take age and titles seriously. Even an age difference of two years would put one at a higher "lev…

BIGBANG's Seungri and NHR in Manila

안녕 친구!

Last month, BIGBANG's GDragon ang Taeyang visited Manila for a concert. This time it's their maknae, Seungri, who visited the Philippines with his Natural High Record DJs Danu, Glory and TPA.

Seungri and the rest of the gang first performed in Boracay last October 6, then they set Valkyrie Nightclub in Manila on fire on October 7.

I love BIGBANG but Seungri has always been my bias, so I couldn't let this pass. It was fine to miss both GDragon's and Taeyang's concert, but I had to see Seungri again.

And it was the best decision ever.

Here also some videos from the night:






Aside from being so close to Seungri, the best part of my night was when I got a shirt from NHR.

Why I love Hongdae

Image
I first visited Seoul two years ago, and while planning for my trip, I decided to stay in Hongdae after reading that it is mostly frequented by students and younger people.

I fell in love with Hongdae after watching a young singer performing on the streets.


He was performing Don't Forget (잊어버리지마) by Crush (feat. Taeyeon), which was my jam at that time.

Since it was my first time in Seoul at that time, I spent a lot of time watching street performers/buskers.

On my last day, I spent the whole afternoon watching this group perform.

On my second trip to Seoul, I stayed for a few days in Myeongdong. I missed the vibe in Hongdae, and knew that I had to go back the moment I stepped out of my room.

Don't get me wrong, Myeongdong is my second favorite place in Seoul, but Hongdae just has a special place in my heart.

At that time, I was supposed to stay a few days in Busan, but some unexpected things happened so I ended up transferring from Myeongdong to Hongdae.

As usual, I went back …
