Autumn in Boo-Ahm-Dong, Seoul 부암동

[부암동] 

I finally get to visit! It's about an hour and a half from my house.
SO, I have to really prepare my mind before I head there.
But it is a beautiful-hidden place in Seoul where it has great
museums and art galleries. It's near the Seoul castle-wall, so
lot of places are untouched and kept the way it was.

Boo-ahm village is located north of Gyeong-Bok Palace.
I recommend taking bus to Boo-ahm because you have to 
go through a tunnel and it seemed not a pleasant area to walk.
However, you may walk up to before the tunnel.
There is a bus stop. 
My walk-pace is pretty faster than the average, but even for me
it's a bit walk. here! I have added the bus you can talk it to.




I planned out to see art in JaHa Art museum...but it was under-construction
due to setting up for a new art show......it was a nightmare because
you have to actually go up the 3 hills. Well, but life is always full of 
surprises! I get to know a small restaurants that I would love to spend time
with my friends and family. AND! I encountered one of the most
finest bakery shops in Seoul. it's called SCOFF.
I had met them when they visited bakery expo in COEX.
Their scone and lemon pound cake was ammmmazing!!!
It was way better than anywhere else I had tasted even in the state!

Please stop by their bakery shop. 
I have added the address down below.
Happy journey!

Great sight-seeing in Seoul - MMCA

Gotta visit National Modern Museum Contemporary Art Korea - Seoul
located in Angook station, 안국역
It feels like MOMA in Manhattan.
Great way to explore contemporary art.


On the day I visited with my friends, there was
a special event hosted by Hyundai card.
There was a beautiful lighted outdoor public art (I think it's a temporary)
and the group who won the contest for this public art was interviewing with the host.
Few hours later,
we encountered Si-Kyung Sung, a famous Korean ballard singer.

The whole scene of night-light, the architect, the song, the warm temperature -
it was all perfect.









It was beautiful night in heart of Seoul, where Kings and Queens once lived.




We went to "ONLY BURGER" -approx. 20 min. away from An-Gook subway station, 
This treasure restaurant t is located on the way to the hill of 삼청공원.
Everyone said it's really good. :)
hearty meat with fresh ingredients with great people.
What else is needed?

OSAKA trip in Nov.2014

Reminiscent of Osaka trip.
what a memorable moment I had.
2 n / 3 days


My friend, back in college, and I planned to trip to Osaka in Nov.2014 together.
From Osaka international airport we took
RAPIDO - the express train.
"Save time and fully absorb the culture" was our motto.


The below picture is
one of the small streets in Osaka, Japan.
I love their city-construction, architects. I can feel
that the city is really built for pedestrians.





Church of Light located in 
4 Chome-3 Kitakasugaoka
Ibaraki-shi, Ōsaka-fu 567-0048
Japan
built by Tadao Ando.

We actually went there on Sunday for service.
The pastor was really nice, explaining the history of the architecture
(of course, we didn't understand since it was all Japanese)
and people were welcoming with warm heart.


I love to travel Japan because
people are really nice and welcoming.
Also, the main reason I always desire to visit again is
traveling Japan is a REAL rest to me.
(in addition, my aunt lives in Yokohama which is very similar to San Diego, CA)
The city is not too crowded.
Just right aerial space, shops, restaurants.
I wonder how they do it. Wish Seoul can be more spaced out. :^)

[Project 119] Psalms 119:9-11



From my church congregation, we have started a project called,
"Project 119."
Purpose is clear. To remember God's living word.
We are exposed to a overflowing media and information, and naturally we tend to
draw away from God's word because everything else seem fun and eye-catching.
It takes time to really meditate His word and it requires extra efforts to listen His voice.
So, Project 119 is important for every single person.
It is made for mobile-lock up screen.
For whenever we turn cellphone on, we see the word first.
I think it's a great idea.

For some reason, I became the first starter
(and it is to be continued).

Psalms 119:9-11
