More from Korea

Hi everyone!  I wanted to update my trip to Korea  

I went to visit Seoul National University.  That place is soooo super super super huge!!  Here is a picture of me at the place where Im waiting for the bus.

I see a bus!!  And here is a picture of inside the bus.

 Here is the picture of the bus stop and campus map.

Here is a picture of the gateway to Seoul National University.

Here are some roads at the university.

Here are more maps.

Here are some buildings that I saw there.

Here are some more of the view from the university. 

Here are some more signs and buildings from there.

My experience as Seoul National University was pretty good.  I had to take a bus from one part of the campus to another part.  The campus is way bigger than Berkeley and Stanford and all the buildings are SO spread out!  We almost got lost on our way out but luckily we found our way haha.  Ok I will update more next time.  God bless everyone! 

More from Korea - part 3

Hi Everyone and happy Sunday! I wanted to update more from my Korea trip.

I saw there was a Singaporean restaurant in Korea called Kopitam!  I was quite surprised!  Here is a picture of the restaurant.

So I had an opportunity to visit Chung Ang University in Korea. I met Steve and Claire there! It was pretty amazing coz I heard someone yell out my name, and when I turned around I saw them! Here are some pictures I took while there, as well as a giant blue dragon with it's tail wrapped around the globe.

 

I got a chance to visit Hwaseong Haenggung.  Even though it was raining, I had a lot of fun!  Here is how the place looks like from an overhead view.

I took many random pictures, including the toilet and the surrounding buildings. 

Here is the ticket booth as well as the front gate.

Near the front gates maps and signs that talk about the castle. 

More signs around the castle.

A korean drama was filmed at this castle. 

Upon entering the castle, we set off to see one of the great kings of Suwon.  Here are some sights as I proceeded towards the statue.

Here are some of the pictures I took of the statue.

Here is me with the statue, and a more close up shot of the king from Suwon.

I proceeded to explore inside the castle more.  There were a lot of tourists exploring the castle, especially where the different rooms of the castles were.

Here are the many signs that explains about the different rooms in the castle.

There were some interesting equipment in the castle grounds.

It was time to head back to Seoul!  I took a bus and here are some pictures as I approached a tunnel!

Ok, more pictures to come!  God bless everyone! 

More from Korea - part 2

Hi everyone!  I wanted to show more pictures from my Korea trip.

I went over to Suwon to meet up with Boki in the morning.  Here are some pictures from the cafe that I took at Suwon.

We went to a mall in Suwon and they had many movie props, such as Transformers and Ratatouille.  Here are some pictures from there.

Transformers was AWESOME by the way!  I wanna see Ratatouille!  I took some pictures through the glass window of a mall there.

Here is how the outside of the mall looks like.

It was raining that day, and we decided to go to a castle.  We were looking for the entrance of the castle, and found a hiking trail.  Here are some pictures.

We were wondering how do we go inside?  So we walk some more, and so here are more pictures of the surrounding area haha.

 Here are some pictures of the signs that talks about the place.

We decided to take the stairs, to see if it will lead us to the entrance.

As we made our way up the stairs, the view was quite nice!

We went up further and further and noticed its a dead end!  We have to go back haha.

More pictures from my castle adventure next time!  God bless everyone!

Even more from Korea!

Hi everyone!  I just wanted to update more about my trip to Korea.

I went to this cafe called Tree Shadow.  It is a really interesting place!  You can go there to buy drinks, such as tea, coffee, etc and you also get a complementary feet treatment, called Dr. Fish.  You wash your feet first in some wash basin, and then you put your feet in water filled with the Dr. Fish.  They swim around and eat the dead skin cells from your feet.  At first it was very very very ticklish, and after 10 minutes its still ticklish, but it was a lot of fun!  Here are some pictures of the Dr. Fish!

On one of the days, I went with Hee to her meeting at a Japanese church in Korea.  Hee is with a ministry called JASTAR that helps out japanese students in Korea.  When I went there to the meeting, it was only three of us, since the other leaders were at a missions trip in Japan.  The meeting was soo cool!!  It lasted about 2 or 2 1/2 hours and we sang songs, prayed, prayed some more, shared a bit, and pray some more!  It was really great to be able to just pray and depend on God during the whole meeting!  Here is a picture of the 3 of us!

I also got a chance to go to Suwon!  Its about a 1 1/2 hour train ride from where I stayed at in Seoul.  I went to meet up with Boki there.  Here are some pictures of Suwon.

I was expecting Suwon to be a small city, but it was kind of like Seoul.  It is much smaller than Seoul, but it wasnt a small little city of how I imagined it to be either.  It was raining that day, but it was still fun to explore Suwon in the rain haha.  Boki and I went to a cafe for lunch.  Here are pictures of the cafe.

This is a picture of my lunch!  It was very good!

Ok this is all I have for today.  I will upload more pictures tonight and share them in Xanga.  God bless everyone!

More from Korea

Hi everyone!  I just wanted to update more on my Korea trip.

Hee and Jacob invited me to their church on Sunday.  It was a lot of fun, even though I didnt understand the service because it was in Korean.  Here is a picture of the church.

After church service, I went to Jinjoo's church, Hanshin Church.  We went to an english service that reminded me of a children's service.  Afterwards, I went to join Jinjoo's small group, where she is one of the leaders!  Here are some pictures.

I met some really cool people from the church!  I took some pictures with them too!

The next day I got to go around more in Seoul.  I met Boki, Sumin and Cathy and had lunch.  Here are some pictures.

Seoul had a lot of cute things.  I took a picture with a cow and also the bear from the Teenie Weenie store.

Seoul is really commercialized!  Here are some of the many stores that they have!

My favorite is the Nike store!  Here is me in front of the Nike store, and also behind the glass window (even though the picture didnt come out as good).

Here are more pictures from Seoul.

I also went to Baskin Robins and we had Ice Cream Fondue!  Here is a picture of some pictures in the store.

The before and after shot of the ice cream fondue.

I went to eat ice cream fondue with Boki, Sumin and Cathy.  Here are more pictures.

I have more pictures that I will put up!  God bless everyone!
