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:

Seoulid Adventures: The War Memorial of Korea

I am the kind of person who would prefer museums over theme parks (not because I'm not the adventurous type but) because I love finding out for myself how some things in the past, actually happened. I find it amusing to know interesting facts from the past that have impacted today's generation.

So, my Korea trip with my bestfriend will not be complete without visiting museums! I wasn't able to take a lot of pictures because I was so engrossed with the museum's beauty. And before I forget, this museum do not have any entrance fees!!! (that's a good reason for you to visit!). You can definitely give donations if you want to, but they don't charge for entrance fees.

The part that I love the most was the 3D short film of F-15. It was an exchange of bombs and bullets on air between flight jets of Korea and Japan. You have to see it!

 You will know that you are already within the vicinity of the war memorial if you see this. Walk a few meters from the subway station and you'll see this monument with a gallery inside.

A vessel that was used decades ago by the Koreans to guard the coast. 

  Some of the armored vehicles and planes were located outside the museum. They don't function anymore.
