japan & korea trip

Monday, August 18th, 2008

it took me 2 months finally put my photos in my recent trip to japan and korea into slides.

anyway, the vacation was
actually really really short. would have wanted to stay longer in japan
and explore the wonderful country but our sked only permits us to be in
japan for 5 days and 4 days in seoul.

japan trip was not
originally included in our plan. but since bae yong joon will be in
japan for the twssg premium event and kind baesisters were able to get
us tickets we included japan in our trip. i met many wonderful japanese
baesister, stayed at mariko’s place, went to park bof, saw gosireh,
went to megane store, had coffee with cloudnine, lunch and afterwards
coffee again with cloudnine and jaime and of course saw yong joon [i'm quite lucky when he rode that special car] and the rest of twssg stars at kyocera dome [though very far].

i
want to go back to japan again , hopefully when my bestfriend and her
sister will go next year i’ll tag along. but before i do that, i’ve to
really save a lot of money. japan is really expensive compared to
korea. transportation alone [not the plane but the public transpo] is
already heavy on the pocket.

oh yeah, thanks so much to christy
for accommodating us during our stay in japan. she’s wonderful and we
really had an enjoyable stay in her pad.

btw, i’m glad that i
was able to try shinkansen, the overnight bus trip which was very
comfortable, and go around a bit by taking the train and subway.

in
korea, for 4 days all we did was to shop. much as i would like to go
around, tita corinna preferred to shop since she was deprived to shop
in japan due to the tight sked.

we were supposed to go to jeju
to see the shooting site of twssg, but we canceled it at the last
minute because we feel that we’ll be really really tired after the
japan trip. hopefully on the next trip to korea [which i'll definitely do again].

aside
from shopping, we did go to ‘gorilla in the kitchen’ and ‘tea loft’
that bae yong joon owns. we also squeezed in our sked a visit at park
bof in insadong. i miss the old park bof in gangnam, i don’t like much
the location in insadong.
