My Trip In A Nutshell
Hiiiii its been a while!!I'm finally back from my Asia trip, though it was a blast (to say the least), boy it's good to be back! For those curious of where I went, I spent roughly a week in Korea and 2 weeks in Hong Kong. This has been the longest time Ive EVER been away from home and to my surprise, I managed quite fine.
I've also managed to get sick on the last few days of the trip which exponentially worsened as I left from tropical, warm, humid city of HK Island to come to the cold arctic lands of Toronto. I must say, I dont remember September being so cold before and I cant imagine what it'll be like in the wintertime :(
Well anyways without further ado, here are some pictures I took of HK and Korea :)
Im only posting pictures of myself just in case ppl wanted personal privacy.
My thoughts and observations about Korea:
- everyone is super pale
- in subways, everyone is plugged into either their i-whatever or Samsung galaxy s/tab
- no one has a blackberry
- most boys are skinnier than girls
- boys love tight pants
- girls dress well and all wear heels
- no one really wears sunglasses
- ppl like to stare at my feet

| I think this is their National Flower. Rose of Sharon aka Moo goong hwa in Korean. |
 |
| In the courtyard of Kyeong Bok Gung Palace. |
 |
| Inside the Kyeong Bok Gung Palace, this area was so serene. |
 |
| Although this cafe is a franchise, and seriously located on every block, we went to the one on Rodeo street; which is a hot spot for celebrity sightings and has a more western/hip feel to it. |
 |
| I heard watermelons were expensive.. but seriously, this is almost equivalent to $25 cad for a fruit! But I heard it can range up to $100 or more... gg |
 |

My thoughts and observations about Hong Kong:
- so humid i will never be able to take a deep breath
- very multicultural
- so tropical
- everyone has cool english names
- people LOVE mercedes benz
- people LOOOOVE angry birds
- most balling cars Ive ever seen
- the streets/roads are all uneven yet girls are able to walk in heels
- fashion sense is questionable
- taxi rides are scary
- everyone has a Filipino maid
- ppl here too love staring at my feet
