seoul #1 - ewha women's university & gyeongbokgung

currently:

crazy about descendents of the sun

(or more specifically, song joong ki!)

i was never much a k-drama person.

i've only watched 2 k-dramas before this,

though i do follow running man as of late :P

i didn't go to seoul because i was crazy about everything k-related,

but i did a marathon of running man to get my excitement level up before this trip :P

went there on 1-5 nov.

these entries are definitely a few months late.

a trip with friends,

some we jalan-jalan on our own

but mostly we followed our tour group.

thanks Jom Backpacker team!

esp zul & en halim :)

woke up early in the morning and explored ewha on our own
10 minutes walk from our hostel :)
it was autumn, so those leaves...

melbourne #7 - great ocean road - twelve apostles

stopover to have breakfast

mama and her thai friend

too many people to get a decent shot :(

entrance to heaven

driving along the coast.. this is the view the whole way..
great weather that day :)

melbourne #6 - philip island day trip

this breed of dog is called a dingo. i think they're cute.

reminds me of hedwig.

scratch scratch

handsome boy

oi gimme food!

melbourne #5 - sashimi, queen victoria market, & old treasury building

basically this is the day when i have no specific itinerary,

so i just wandered around melbourne cbd.

best day everrrr :D

flower? cabbage? who knows? i don't.

sushiiiiii

didn't get the sushi because i'm not sure whether they use sake/mirin for the rice.
so i went for the sashimi. ate till full. costed me AUD 10! ~ RM35 per plate, but so worth it.

i spent nearly an hour looking for this shop - sushi monger.
nearly had hypoglycemia since i skipped breakfast.

went to market lane coffee on a friend's suggestion
i was consuming 7 eleven 1 dollar coffee every day at this point,
7 eleven in melbourne is so convenient

not so fancy, but worth a try. there's always a line here :)
this place is o near to queen vic market

fresh everything-with-meat everyone?
queen vic market

melbourne #4 - melbourne at night

this is me walking home after brighton beach.

i went there during early winter, so night comes faster, around 5-ish.

fed square at night

flinders at night - still alive and kicking

melbourne #3 - puffing billy & brighton beach

venturing out away from melbourne city.

puffing billy is around 1 hour train ride from melbourne,

from flinders right to the end - belgrave.

brighton beach is about half an hour away from melbourne cbd.

CBD = central business district :)

a bit higher in elevation, more greenery and colder

still running on coal. steam everywhere!

yes, this is how you sit on the train.
if you sit on the normal seat, you are uncool.

melbourne #2 - st kilda pier

went to st kilda because they say we can see penguins!

this is the little penguins though, a bit different than the penguins we're used to see on TV.

wise words at the hair salon.

best to go see penguins at sundown, when they'll come up.

hello lovely city skyline.

halfway thru the walkway, you see this cute house/building.
