so, its been almost a year since i blogged here..got myself busy with FB,twitter,cyworld,me2day and etc...almost forgot about alivenotdead page...my bad !!!=P

...so the story goes like thisbeen living in Seoul, Korea for 6 months..been busy everyday coz been out doing something 24-7.....been so much fun since I met ALOT of wonderful people, from friends from Yonsei and Sogang  to celebs in clubs to ahjummas in restaurants...EVERYONE had such a warm approach.....shopping was MAJOR and definetly missing the spicy korean food..especially samgyeopsal, kimchi and my absolute favorite Sojuuu!!!!!..you know a bottle of soju in Sweden cost 20dollars!!..whacked...

,..anyway, my main goal of this trip was able to speak korean in full sentences, which I nailed it..finally thnx to Jungran who spent the first 3 months forcing me to speak Korean with her, iam finally able to speak to them all in korean.. (Aeggi ya: komapda)...(Love u guys Jungran, Johan oppa and Aeran).......the part being in southeast asia ex: Hong Kong, Singapore or Korea is that you are no longer being a minority:..here you are in among your own peops..the real race here begins for me..no longer being competing/compared against to the blonds and brunettes with blue/green eyes, everyone are over 175-180 cm and etc...its fair n square here..

(Jungran and me)

...so the weekly schedule for the past 6 months  was coming late to classes every morning coz being out 3-4 times a week drinking with friends results KIND OF Hard to wake up early, spent half my anual salary on shopping (coz everything is about 40-50% cheaper than sweden), clubbing in Hongdae or Kangnam or Apgu every weekend, and always eating good foood...btw, had some roadtrips up to the DMZ, Mud festival in Daejeon, Busan and Cheju.. got to admitt i was pretty awesome to be up there in Pangmunjeom area by the DMZ where being pointed at by 1 million weapon btw South and North..went with the Swedish embassy so got accessed to the NNSC camps..

 crazy journey began and everyday i was waking up with a smile in my face...all though i got really sick for a month, it didnt matter..i was still happy to be in Seoul...the drinking, shopping, my friends, the great food,the noice &phat neon lights, warm peops, the 24hrs service & x number coffee shops..

....in other words this spring & summer was the bomb...

aightt.....here it is.......Went to London last week for couple of days...visited my baby sis in Colchester..about an hour drive from central London...my main thought was just to relax and chill for a few days...was exhausted after the Bond premier and after being ill for period of time....but NOOOOthing goes the way we plan....

Anyway to summerrize the trip,it consisted of partying,pouring in alcohol that would last at least a month, impulsive shopping and spending genuine time with my sis and her hilarous friends..I went into London for a day to meet up my elder brother for dim sum at China Town. The shopping was like heaven for me. I only had 1½ hr time limit before i had to head back to Colchester, so did a fast round of shopping and it feelllt so good...hahaha..we ate really good food at nandos and Pezzo..their parmesan cheeze was a killer...!! what can i say, my best friend is food....

I sincerely loved my grey/pink bunny slippers..my best bargain so far..and the italian food!!!! soo good

.

Didn't know they sell my idol SANRIO Hello Kitty shoes selling in a big sportwear shop for kids..

...At first I truly hated London bcos of bad experience couple years ago i visited England..you know how the company can destroy the whole trip..yeah, pretty much it..and the gloomy weather on top of it just makes it even sucks!! As i slowly approached my sis friends, they all were kind of fun and social despite they all are lampchops compare to my age. These are small piglets at under their 20's.. ALL my friends are older than me,around 26 up to 30s. I was a bit worried that we were in different level and etc BUT NOT ALL.. never thought  i would get along with them and have soo much fun. When you least expect, things do somehow suprise you. 

few of the piglets i got to know...

..the last day of the trip made history compare to all my stories...we came home at thursday morning at 5 after hitting the clubs..woke up at 7 and we literally shoved our stuff  in the luggage while we were still drunk and went to Standsted airport...at the airport my sis nor i could stand straight..the saviour was we poured us in a a huge portion english breakfast and a pot of early grey tea!!!! we were still mezmerized by alcohol that we almost missed our flight back home to Stockholm.!!!!------>They were final calling our flight....I panic!!!! While runing to the gate located of ( course on the other side of the termina): my bag flies wide open and everything inside was flung down to the floor..everyone was starring and nobody helped!  i flew down on my knees to gather all my stuff and start running again. By the time i got to the gate, i  already sobered up and the whicked part is that the gate wasnt even opened yet!!!! Why the hell did they start final call the flight then????!!! *"#%(&)/)*´so there is my story..

THE BREAKFAST with hash brown and each pot of tea..=))))))

...Some people say that Barcelona is the best city to party unless you are a rich bitch, then its St. Tropez...I agree with them...Barcelona is the THE place for party..During the day, the city is beautiful at its coast with an artificial made beach and surrounded by blueish water and its killing view over Barceloneta. & Port Vell.

The catalans sure have its magnificent history and have the right to brag about it...a City filled with monuments, historical buildings and last but not least :the Gaudi's work..from La Sagrada Familia to Casa Mila and Gaudi's park located a bit far out from the central. At Barri Gothic area, you can't miss out on the Cathederal..unfortunely its was under renovation so we couldn't get a clear view over the whole church...my personal favorite is still Casa Batilo..

For 5 days..we went through all the tourist sightseeing places there are there..even up to Montujic mountain where we were close getting mugged and beaten.! .luckily the adrenalin kicked in and got away safetly...lots of thieves always stalling on the tourists, especially in Ramblas area...The first day we accidently walked out a block from Ramblas and suddenly got to catalan Harlem....saw a guy shooting up junk on his forearm behind a car we walked past!!!! ....then my friend told me, i am not ever ever again suppose to go there again...and you are damn right i never went there again..

Our trip consisted of No good sleep, but continuation of partying during the nights and sightseeing during the days and eating good good food...mm..Tapas....Liked the clubs like Pacha and Catwalk and Club Bikini..bcos they were spinning hip hop and rnb some nights in the week...Barcelona music is house...there was also this club who opened at 7 in the morning till afternoon...that is what i call party! Thnx to my dear friend Rani, who was living there for a year or so, we met some wonderful wonderful people who took care of us and made our staying one of the best trip of my life..In Barca (what we swedish calls it), you do not have to look good or dress good or be pretenious..bcos they only thing they will reject you both in clubs and daily life is that you wear the wrong shoes...hahahaa..hilarious huh? 

...A good restaurant i remember we went to was La Fonda near Ramblas....serving such good catalan food: fresh sauted swordfish with a creamy sause to it and their apetitzers was a killer: Goat cheese sallad with their own special made marinade...the wine was exceptional good..didnt like wine but learned to enjoy drinking it over there.. We went to the most mindblowing bars, some haiwaii themed bar serving tikka pints of drinks with fog releasing from it..got 1 meter straws drinking from it...The underground cave bar serving fruit daiquries with cards as mat...the best one is probably the MILK BAR..remember that name!! serving absolutely the best best martini..tried the La Leche Martini; coffee as the distinguishing ingredient...

..peace n Luv
