she let herself whine

Because she knew, it always clears up.

feeling your love within a reach

I thought seeing Ai Tominaga was already an unreal kick-off of my 5 days holiday, but followed by Picasso exhibition and Slumdog Millionaire, too much surreality abounds in my head now which is making my brain extremely difficult to get back to ordinary mode.

And spending 3days in Tokyo with all my beloved people were just too wonderful, sweet and full of love.

Dinner in Kichijo-ji with my dear sister, brother and his girlfriend. Since he was the only guy on that evening he had to bear the full brunt of criticism toward men in the world from three loquacious ladies;P.

Although he was too sick and my new shoes gave me too much pains and blisters, Chris and I also had fantastic weekend. Loved picnic in Yoyogi Park. It was awesomely refreshing. By the way happy 9 months anniversary darling( though I know we don't care much about it)!

You too have a wonderful May readers, I'll still post once in a while until when I can make my full come back so please stay tuned:).

Much love!

fill me up with your glow

Lovely adornments which complete my spring looks 2009.

Pendant, earrings from Accessorize, scarf from my mom's closet.

Sorry readers it's been a while but I'm telling you that things are eventually looking up and hopefully tiny traveller will be back on its stream soon.

Hope everyone enjoys this wonderful spring season !

unborn

Flowers grow out of the dark

dreaming of the day to be embraced in spring shower

tender as tears slip down her cheeks

but steady as dawn will never let us down

so I look up.

*

Tiny Traveller will have to slow down its pace for a while...I'll be back once things are settled!

Sending love with spring breeze,

No worries we won't try too hard

Someone was looking like Le Penseur... want some philosophical dose?

or sugars?

...yes Crêpe suits us better than philosophy;). You know it.

My weekend was fantastic. Under perfect February weather in Kobe we had a full day from cozy pizzeria to his haircut. Yes I just needed a second to breathe like this.

It's already March by the way and another brand-new week to carry on. So let's get down to business.

A wonderful new month, everyone!xx

The day was happily never after but after all it was happily ever after

February 14th, St Valentine's Day in Yokohama. I'm so sorry sweetie, I was almost becoming a type of girlfriend I least wanted to become.

like a flower under rain

like a child's first day

like a story's first page

watch our love come to life

love is not a thing to rush

it's a feeling you should trust

it'll be that way with us

watch our love come to life

come to life come to life

watch our love come to life

Still floating in the icy Orient

Back in Myongdong urbanity...

We looked for our last supper in Seoul from stalls in Dongdaemun Market but apparently got lost in millions of retail shops. Language was indeed the desperate matter during this trip.

One of the symbolic shots of Korea though the gate was surprisingly smaller than I expected.

Not forgetting the girls' best friends in the evening:).

*

So at last I covered the whole itinerary of my Seoul trip... so sorry readers it took more than 1 month to post them all. For some personal reasons I'm not expecting any next big trip or going out of Japan at least until summer but I'm already considering a big travel plan later this year. Can't wait until the next exotic adventure.

By the way K-Pop is occupying my iPod now;P.

Insadong continued...

I loved how the small alleys intricately exist in this neighbourhood; it did arouse the feeling of vagabond in me.

Starbucks could be so unlike Starbucks when it's written in Hangul alphabet;P. I loved it though.

Historical architectures really convinced me that Koreans and Japanese shared the same ethnic origin.

*
One of the things which I most wanted to do during this trip; trying authentic Samgyetang<3

My happy face explains everything:D. Yes, Samgyetang was beyond my expectation. Beautiful, beautiful.

Since I came back from Seoul I've been often having sudden craving for Samgyetang...it was that good.

*

Did anyone notice that the subway was coloured with Ying-Yang?

After all girls love to sit down and giggle

So the day breaks a little loosely in this city.

7 am from the hotel window. Good morning, Seoul.

*

Armed with gloves and thick wool jacket to survive in -11℃, we gently kicked off our second day in Seoul. Insadong was the first destination.

The neighbourhood was flanked with endless series of small Korean antiques shops, galleries and tea houses. We strolled every nook and cranny in Insadong gil then sheltered ourselves from stabbing outside coldness. I didn't even feel my fingers or feet.

Breakfast time. Not Korean style at all;P.

Us looking so satisfied with a generous omija-tea present by a cute Korean waiter:).

Next Up: Insadong Part 2 & Samgyetang lunch<3

Planet two of a kind

It wasn't Shibuya restlessness. It wasn't Shinjuku insomnia. But it was a planet which was amazingly identical to Tokyo. We're totally lost in translation in far-East country.

Welcome to Myongdong, Seoul.

We both fell in love with the naming of this particular cosmetic shop;). Can we also purchase perfect Korean skin please?

*

Completely lost in floods of Korean alphabet, we finally managed to come back to our hotel.

Seoul, Day 2 : Coming up soon!
