Rediscover your senses through See, Hear, Touch, Smell & Taste
Inspiration 영감<yeonggam>, 인스피레이션 <inseupireisyeon>
It all started with just an enjoyable pastime watching k-dramas which slowly blooms out of proportion! Haha! XD Why Korea you would ask? But after experiencing the lively culture "shock" who wouldn't be drawn by their amazing sense of style, fashion, architectures, natural beauties & friendly locals. It's one of the safest countries I've been. The food are amazing too, it suited my taste bud so well! Not to mention K-POP fever! =D
So let's keep it simple. Korea has it all! Let's venture into the virtual windows of your screen & let your imagination run wild thru my world!
See the true colors of Korea & let the K-Happiness Inspires You!!
There's 7 elements that makes South Korea a wonderful place to stay :~~ And that would be~~
1) The food (Traditional Hanshik, local delicacies & street food)
2) Language & Education
3) Entertainment Industries (Music, Film & Variety)
4) Places / Sceneries
5) Fashion (Modern & Hanbok) / Cosmetics
7) Transportation

Okay face it, South Korea is not only well known for their KIMCHI but there's tonnes of yummy local treats too! There's Ddeokbokki (a sweet & spicy rice cake), Kimbap, Jajangmyeon, Bibimbap (my fav!), banana milk~~Hmmm yummy XD Their fried Chicken is the best! It's even nicer than KFC! =P
Too bad I had only 1 week there! So gonna go again next year! =P

I find that they have such unique language that it's a fun journey for me learning to speak & read in them too! Let's go thru the BASIC or just a simply HandyExpression when its needed! =)
By self learning, it even inspires me, one day maybe one day I'll be able to study in Ewha Womans University too! I'm looking thru their courses & working/trying real hard to make this happen in the near future! Pray for me & just hope dreams come true right?! hehe...
Ewha Womans University is a private women's university in Seoul & it's one of the top prestigious Uni there.

Cosmetics
Speaking of their Skincare, it's one of the best out there! It's such a competitive business ever in S.Korea. They will go to an extent that they start handing out goodies & free samples to get you into their shops! Have you guys heard of Snail-base products before? It's recommended even by their top surgeon too, as the snail's mucus has some cell-regeneration properties to heal scars & un-uniform skins. Try It's Skin one of the best! CLICK HERE

Hottest all the way~~Kyaa~~haha..I know I'm a avid JYPE fan! S.Korea's is such a strong contestant when it comes to their K-pop musics. All thanks to the k-poppers out there!
