Adventures with me~ Hongdae

                    

(Short hair day because its too warm to wear extensions, and they should be washed, buhu)

Today I met up with my friend Sanna to go Hongdae together. It's one of the few times I've been to Hongdae during daytime, and not at night drinking with my friends.

 
We decided to meetup to eat lunch together and do some shopping. We ate at Sushi in Sushi, a famous sushi buffet (always a long lone to get a table). So if you ever are in Hongdae and want some sushi, go there! Its close to exit 9. When you see Etude House turn right and walk for 2 minutes. Its always crowded at Sushi in Sushi because its very cheap and has alot of food! Not only sushi, but also potato, salads, different Korean foods, cakes, fruit, beverage, waffles,soups, ice cream and so on. All these foods, and you get 1 and a half hour to eat as much as you are able to.

After eating and talking for an hour we went out on our shopping mission. Hongdae has alot of great stores, and one of the few places that sell alternative clothing style. Our favorite that we always visit together is Ultra Fashion. When we saw it first time we were confused if it were a clothing store as it said on the sign or a club. The whole store has a club feeling about it, disco light, neon light, club music and the whole package. "Is it a club or is it a store?" Why go to one if you can go to both?

After the awesome club store we just went for a long walk. And today was super hot outside so we had to sit down to relax. On our way back from the clothing store to the main shopping street near the sushi place we went to a small cute coffee shop where we bought some ice coffee and brought it to the Hongdae park to relax.

Our fun day together ended up with going to a condom store. You know Hongdae is alternative place when you find a store that sell those kinda stuff. These things are very tabu in Korea, and other similar stores here are well hidden without any windows and in weird places.

I ended up buying two tshirts, both on sale, cheap student here!! One for my boyfriend, a coke shirt, because he loves drinking coke too much. And a shirt for me with a unicorn print on. Maybe some have already seen my sweather which is almost same. Finally got the tshirt version! Yey!



If you want to check out the club store they do have a online store also.

Adventure with me~ Shopping

From today and on. I've decided to start with something new and exciting! (or not so exciting maybe...).I realised that I've take too many photoes, and too many videos and I share them with no one what so ever. So now for the first time I made a video blog. And before I show you my first ever video. I just want to warn everyone about my sucky english in this video. Because it's the first time I record when I'm all alone I feel so awkward talking to myself that I also start talking with a weird english accent, forgive me everyone! Weirdly enough, no one on the the street looked weird at me? 

So without more introduction to my first video blog. Here you go:

         


 

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

Just checked what people search for to find my blog. These are the most trending sentences on google when people find my blog. I thought my blog was for those curious of my life here in Korea. But I guess pedofiles are those who visit my blogs most often.

 

I just had to google myself to find out why 13 year old is the most searched. And Tadaaaa. Here I am. 

Well, I guess the reason why I got readers everyday are because of old guys looking at my photoes thinking I'm 13 years old. But....Im turning 24 years old tomorrow. I take it as a compliment that people think I look younger than I am. At least when I'm like 40 I will look 30.

Whats the most random people have searched to find your blog?

Cafe Drama~

I guess many of you already read my entry a long time ago about me going to Princess Cafe to dress up in beautiful wedding dresses? This time me and my friend Rebecca decided to go to a similar cafe named Cafe Drama, also located in same area as Princess Cafe.

The difference between Princess Cafe and Cafe Drama is that in Princess Cafe its only wedding dresses and Hanbok while in Cafe Drama you can also find costumes from different Korean dramas and also some historical costumes beside Hanbok and wedding dresses. The choices of gowns are bigger than at Princess Cafe.

Meny:

Same as with Princess Cafe you have to order a drink. I chose iced choco, the drink is included on the price when renting a dress. In Princes Cafe you must both rent a dress and buy a drink. This place had all kind of prices for the gowns, all from 15,000 won to 75,000 won! Me and my friend chose the two white gowns in the second photo, stunning dresses right? so Rococco! 

The price for our dresses was 30,000 won with a drink. We could wear them as long as we wanted, hours if needed! In Princess Cafe it was maximum one hour.

Dressroom:

 

After you chose the dress of your choice you will be taken to the dress room. Here the staff will help you with getting you dressed and also add accessories you want, like a tiara, or headpiece for your Hanbok. You can also pay extra and get your makeup and hair done also if you want some extra fun. 

Set:

 

In the cafe they got three different places you can take your photoes, you can use them all freely. If you don't have your own photo camera there they also have a professional there to take your photoes for you, but its pricy, but a fun luxery for those who got some extra money, or for tourists who want want professional pictures taken.  Me and Rebecca used the two rooms except the one for korean costumes.  

After getting dresses it was finally our turn to take some photoes (actually too many, guess we ended up with 500 photoes). Because we took so many photoes, we did get alot of bad onces. I will show you my favorite photoes of me. Be ready for some spam. 

My photoes:

 

 As you can see, the dress was sooo heavy,big and hard to breath in. Thank god I'm born 1990 and not thousand years ago. Puh

 Looks so royal right? This was my favorite background!

Just relaxing on my sofa...

Now some closeups in the pink area.Too much face...

Less face, alot better! 

Hiding behind a mask. Who is this mysterious female?

It's Marita!!!!


So anyone tempted to also go there to take some photoes? New Beautiful pictures to show on Facebook?

How to go there: 

 Finding this place is not so hard. Just go Ehwa Womens University subway station, go to exit  1 and walk for five minutes to you see a big intersection, then go right. You will see the entrance to Cafe Drama pretty easy.

When we went there we were the only onces there, but we went there early and in a weekday. If you are going in a weekend or with a big group of people you should just in case reserve time. To do so, and to check out their dresses, prices, meny and so on you can go to their webpage:

I would totally go there again if I get female visitors or something. Its super fun to do with some close friends. And I will keep these photoes forever as a good memory in Korea.

Long time no see

This blog have been dead for like 2-3 weeks now, wops....

I have been so busy with midterms. Sadly, I have gotten some of the midterms scores back already, and some of them is really bad. First time I've got a C on any test in Korea before ( a C in Korea is like super bad, idiot bad). Well, at least I tried even if my test scores suck badly.

After I finished my midterms I had another test waiting.  On saturday I had to take IELTS test, english test for those who don't know. Reason why I'm taking a english test is because I want to transfer to another university, but still same major and in same country of course. 

The test lasted like forever... It started 8 in the morning and at 12, four hours later I had a 4 hours break before my last part of the test, the speaking interview part. 

During my four hour boring break I walked around Dongguk University where I took the test. It was superhooot on saturday, at the warmest it was +28 C. When I woke up that day it was not that warm, so stupid me wore a long-arm sweater. I almost died while walking outside.

I had to save myself with going to the nearest coffeeshop I could find.

And oh boy was I lucky. I found a Tous Les Jours not far from the university. Mostly this coffee shop, bread store chain got very small shops. But this one is the biggest Tous Les Jours I have ever seen. I took some photoes because I wanted to show my boyfriend, but my phone battery died after taking just a few.

So much deliciousness right??
