Redbig Cafe

As a dessert and café lover, I couldn't miss out the chance to try different cafés. This one is recommended by a friend and is called Redbig Café. It's located in Hapjeong area. (see the attached map below)

Their main speciality is tarts, lot of tarts, different kinds of tarts! :D We tried the one with green grapes and Earl Grey flavor, and it was amazing!

걸음마 Toddler - Video 1

We finally finished our video editing for the first video of the project! It turned out pretty well even though there are still improvements to make. 

The project is a school work at the univeristy, and our topic is to experiecne, to discover the new culture through walking. Both of us who is doing the project are exchange students, therefore we named it Toddler. Symbolising we are newbies in this new culture.

Arrival at Seoul!

 (Haven't updated since the last one, but going to catch up now!)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Departure from ShangHai to Seoul was exciting as well as calming, I choosed Korean Air for this flight and it was definitely one of my best experience! It's my third time to Seoul, but different from the previous times, I will be staying here for more than 4 month to study! It's a good opportunity to get deeper knowledge and interaction with the people and the culture, not as a tourist, but as one who lives here. 

 

I arrived one day before the check-in day for the dormitory, so I decided to stay at a guesthouse, called PigFly. I have stayed here once before and it was an amazing stay. It's a studio with kitchen and gots basically everything you need. And it's located in a great area in HongDae. It's easy to find and subway station of Line nr 2 is just a couple of seconds away. 

Fried chickenis a must to eat when you are in Korea. There is a lot of variety of taste you can choose, but I like the soysauce-garlic one from Chicken Maru. 

 

Bye Sweden

Time flows by, and it's already time for departure. 

The sun was shining and the weather was just great. Not too hot and not too cold. Using a swedish term, it was "lagom". So I got some free time today to just walk around and take some pictures on the way after picking up my visa. But as forgetful as I am, I left my bag with computer, Ipad and charges in a friends car, whom had to deliver it to Arlanda.
