Hello, Kyoto

February 24, 2019 0
Hello, Kyoto

I’ve been meaning to go to Kyoto ever since I set foot in this country. Well you know, shrines are fantastic but I don’t know why people with no religious connection to it would want to visit the place. PS, I always feel emotional when I go to these kind of places. 










I had a micro heart attack when my camera didn't recognize the memory card. Good thing the camera itself can format the memory card. Goodness gracious!







 Selfie






If I didn't have all my stuff with me, I could have enjoyed going to place a little bit more I think. Also, heels. Killer.












Kyoto! First place I went to is this famous place. It was soo tiring! Heels I tell you. Enemies! Also, my old arse cannot do this kind of places anymore. I did not achieve anything at the end of the day. But oh well! Also had a problem with my camera which is so bummer! But at the end of the day, I succeeded. Coz come on. Why the hell wouldn’t I, right? 










I went back to the main station and did Kyoto Tower! Not as cool as the other towers but it was close. I guess. 







Kyoto Tower




Kyoto, everyone. 




Nice to meet you.




The place is near the station so I went.

I don't know if I told you guys already but I become emotional with this kind of places. It's so serene. I feel like I'm too vulnerable for this kind of places. I feel like they're taking away my soul.







They have lots of this before. I likey. 







I was also able to roam around the city again at the end of my Kansai trip. I went to more temples and everything. I was actually supposed to go to the Aquarium but it was like super late already and sayang lang because they were already closing so you know. Next time. Also, I failed to tick off three items from my Kyoto list but I don’t really regret it. Again, it’s just me. 







Next time, maybe. 








I ended my Kyoto trip with this. Delicious!

Seoul Day 3 | Everland

Seoul Day 3 | Everland











The highlight of my trip. But a lot of the attractions I’m looking forward to ride are closed. But anyways. I still enjoyed it. False weather report too because they said it’s gonna be warmer that day but in my mind I was like, away from the city and higher so that can’t be right so I dressed as per usual. Everland is beautiful. All I can think of is I want to go with my sisters here. 










EVERLAND 










I can't point out what the theme is all about. Maybe like a ruined palace and stuff. Also maybe that's not it so whatever, yeah? You know what? I should definitely bring meclizine next time because girl!! I'm old.









They have everything in there! Zoo and all that. So yeah. It’s kind of nice because the oldies can enjoy the other parts while the young ones waste their life riding deadly rides. Ha.










Tiny tiny human 







first ride




















Subtle but maybe mixed up my brain cells and all that. 






















heart










snack time










the ride that killed us because of the cold 














Let me tell you something about winter in Korea. There’s no such thing as overdressing. LAYER IT UP BUTTERCUP. 

























This. Good. Corn snack should be a thing in Disneyland too! 













Yas



















ALPINE VILLAGE




























The garden place is kind of my favorite spot because it’s just refreshing. Also, that’s where the umbrella heaters are. Wasted a lot of our time there! It wouldn’t have happened if I were with my OG crew. Oh well. 


































What I like about this place or Korea in general is that they play Christmas Songs. Like, yes babe! Sing me some carols! 


































I mean, right? I feel like that I’m the only one who appreciates the view.

























YAS













DOUBLE YAS













COLD AF
















Kim and I

























Garden thingy. I bet this would really look good in Spring since they have legit roses and flower plants going on.






















PARADE
















SANTA













NIGHT PARADE

























The parade. Subtle. But. Nice. The parade at night is a version of Disney’s Electrical Parade I think. It was soo cold that night but the lights sure warmed everything up. It’s nice. 






















IT ALL LOOKS SO GOLDEN AND NICE




























The fireworks sure lit up the sky. So nice. Me likey. That’s all! I bet this place would be more magical in the spring or maybe like autumn. Winter is not so bad though but yeah. 





































They also have a very nice illumination going on! Which I liked very much. I will surely be back here because I feel like I haven’t utilized the place yet. Like, I feel like I still have a lot to see and experience. 

























Pretty






















Ciao!

Seoul Day 1 | Museum/Bukchon

Seoul Day 1 | Museum/Bukchon









Hello, Korea!










It was hella cold. Okay, thank Sue Ramirez for the weather update and all that but Seoul in winter is cold as hell. Not that I would know but...you get the point. I actually packed a lot of warm clothes because I’m prepared like that. Haha! My first day in Seoul was wonderful! I got to explore the city like I did with my friend Pring before. It was as if I never left. 










I first went to the hotel and rested there for a bit. Unpacked my stuff, settled, and may have napped a little bit. I actually booked the same hotel as before too! 







Palace







After resting, I decided this is it. Time to explore! And I did. Oh me and my high heels girl! But whatever, you know! I planned to go to Bukchon Village first but on my way there, dropped by The National Folk Museum as well. It was awesome! 









It was not as pretty as it was on Spring though. No flowers. But it gives it character. The emptiness.






Museum







I don’t even know.












Found this one while I’m finding my way to the village. Can’t relate. 









Bukchon Village






They were having a little protest going on there. Basically, they’re trying to eliminate tourists going near their houses. I mean, I would probably do that too. I mean, silent tourists I don’t have a problem with but oh my gosh, the others I will happily kick in the butt you know what I mean? 







Bukchon Village






Seoul Tower









The view from the top.







Hot Pancake. Yas. Sooo oily.









After that, went to a small place and ate Bibimbap because Korea. It was awesome! And a fun first day I should say. Annyeong~
