So… halfway through my stay in Seoul and I’ve hardly seen much. In all honesty, we’ve been really tired jumping from one place to the other, so we’re taking this time to relax like we haven’t before…

Having said that, I’ve gotten the chance to meet up with friends that I haven’t had the chance to see in nearly six years, so it’s been definitely a nice experience — warm, despite the bizarre Seoul weather that’s greeted us, which includes a full day of rain (bus water splashing included), sunny mornings with scattered snow, and loads of icy wind which have contributed with my broken throat and runny nose.

I know I always talk about how I miss Vancouver and my friends, but my meeting with them has made me realize how much I miss hanging out with them over simple cups of coffee and snacks.

Of course, walking alone in Seoul through the streets and using public transportation made me think of that person. LOL So many people remind me of that person xD

I dunno how to type the name of the palace ^o^

*EDIT*

Gyeongbok Palace it is~ Miss ya so much, Seoul~~~

Korea, here we go~~~

My feet are killing me… again, and we just did the famous Taipei 101 building that has the fastest elevator in the world — the Guinness World Record says so — clocking at about 1km per minute or 60kmph.

Too much walking in the heat. I should relax watching tv, but Taiwanese tv is amazingly bad. All I do when it’s the time is watch Korean variety programs and music shows… even when they’re the same I watched the prior night. LOL

Finally in Taipei… looks like a whole new country~ Looking forward to shopping for clothing here LOL

Also, can’t believe this is a hotel.

Don’t blame me, but I had some ramen tonight. I thought I was done photographing food… I guess not. I had some insides of fish in the afternoon alongside some peppered snails… there’s a first time for everything~

Still not used to Taiwanese streets…

Can’t get used to not having a sidewalk…

I couldn’t help myself and grabbed a Shiseido pamphlet while night shopping. LOL

This is going to be as close as it’s ever going to get. By the way, I’m not weird at all… I usually grab all printed materials from whatever I get to visit.

I think I have previously described Taiwan as a very unique mix of Japan, China with a dash of Hawaii. Now for the Jurassic Park fans, you’d know that the movie was partly shot in the island… and traveling through the southern part of Taiwan I’ve felt velociraptors are about to jump at me at any minute.
