Winter in Korea: A Mischievous Adventure (Part 1)

Shout out to Ryan for taking this photo and patiently dealing with my un-photogenic quality. haha 

Way back April 2015, as my bestfriend (shai) and I wait to board our plane going back to Manila from Seoul, we asked ourselves if we'll ever get to visit Korea again and  hoped that it will be sooner. Never have I ever imagine that "sooner" means 19 months!

Lo and behold, November 2016 we're back in Korea!!!

As a KDRAMA FANATIC with *slight mental* issues when seeing Korean Hotties on screen *ehem* (Gong Yoo, Song Jong Ki, Nam Joo Hyuk.... I can tell you the full list but it will take us days to do that LOL), I am blessed to have visited the only country which I don't mind going back to even for hundreds of times. This is another dream come true! To add more excitement: It's winter!!! It was my very first time experiencing winter--and I'm pretty sure I loved that season but I don't think I could let go of the fact that Spring in Korea is overwhelmingly refreshing and surprisingly chilly.

My friends and I spent a great winter week in Korea (just like the last time) last November 29 to December 5. Sad to say, we were unable to witness the first snowfall which happened three days before our arrival. However, an artificial snow made up for that disappointment when we visited a ski park!

Let me give you a glimpse of how beautiful this country is through my favorite photos of our trip two months ago:

I love visiting places overlooking cities!

Self-timer shot well done!!! I love how the city lights are vibrantly colored blue in this photo!

The fallen leaves from Jongmyo Royal Shrine (We were so lucky to visit this place FOR FREE on that day!)

Night visit at the N Seoul Tower. I must say, the city lights view from the tower  was soooo stunning!

Candid shot with my bestfriend shai. Never knew this trip was our last get together before I left for Aus.

More photos with my bff in Nami Island! A must visit!

Of course, photos will never be complete without momshie! Her royal Highness! ;) @ Gyeongbokgung Palace

 A series of blogpost dedicated for our one week travel to Seoul will follow this post. I hope you love the photos <3
