travel : Bukchon Hanok Village, Korea

[09.07.2012] photo story of Bukchon Hanok Village, Seoul Korea. I became a total tourist this day and wonder around this beautiful village and fell in love with Hanok, the Korean traditional style houses. A best cup of tea I had in Korea was on that Maru. 한옥 참 좋다. ^^

이모와 마님 놀이. ㅋㅋ

a cup of Omija tea with my aunt. (schizandra berrie tea)

그리고 이모와 한참을 걷다가 다시 커피 한잔. ^^

personal : dance away

[4:30pm] our family arrived home from church and we couldn't just go inside since

the fall light was just so gorgeous. 

"hannh, can you twirl around for me? "

"why, mom?" 

"becuase the sun light is just too beutiful!!" 

"Oh. OK" haha

Thank you, my favorite + most beautiful model of all. Oh! The last photo with big leaf was her idea. ^^

travel : Jeju Island, Korea (cafe seba)

[09.14.2012] A unreal magical place I found in Jeju Island, cafe seba. A jazz cafe owned by jazz pianist and her good barista friend. It rained for hours, so I stayed for hours. ^^ 하루종일 비가 내렸다. 다행이다. 여행이나 관광이 아니라 난 잠간 꼭꼭 숨고 싶었으니... 히히 그리고 그런 혼자 숨바꼭질 놀이를 하기에 이곳은 완벽한 장소였음.  그래서 고맙고 자꾸만 생각이 나네.  

hand written menu + Jeju barley late 

a comfy lounge chair facing a big window....and did I tell you it rained beautifully? 

warm barley bread w/ herb balsamic sauce + homemade tiramisu

me, pretending I live here....hehe 

and I walked around this village when rain stopped for minutes. 그리고 선흘 마을 산책.

제주시 조천읍 선흘리 1093-1 

and it rained...and rained...just how I want to remember this day. 

travel : Jindo, Korea

Jindo. It's my mom's hometown I visited for the first time. It's heartbreakingly beautiful, calm and humble fisherman's town even after a huge storm few days ago. I took an early morning walk around the nari-village and it has to be the most beautiful morning I've ever seen.이른아침 동네 산책.  난 어린시절 엄마가 걷던 길을 걸으며 시간여행중.  전라남도, 진도, 나리마을의 숨이 막히도록 아름다운 아침이다.
