Happy Chinese New Year!


i'm done with the day thing. i am not good at counting days.

anyway, i know this hasn't been updated in a while. mainly because not much has been happening here. a lot of people have gone back to their homes, so its just been really quiet. 

but Merryn and I managed to go out on the evening of the day before CNY started to watch some sort of Korean traditional performance. it was an eye-opener and i'm glad Merryn found out about it. it was free and it was really good. it was line-up of different kinds of performances, no idea what the names are but it generally included their traditional instruments which were similar to Chinese ones and drums. i was mesmerized especially by the sound of the flute. it sounded kind of wheezy at first but when you get used to that, it sounds beautiful. 


here's a taste of the ending performance. not much and kinda shaky but i really liked the atmosphere they created. when they ended, they moved out to the waiting area outside and people just started joining in and dancing along. it was kinda cool.


 it was a really good experience and i guess this is one the things you must experience in a foreign country; their traditional performances.

we had our version of lou sang for dinner that night known as 비빔밥 만두 (bibimbap mandu). again, thanks to Merryn for bringing me to the place where they served this. its quite unique where they deep fry the dumpling skins and you use it to wrap the vegetables you'd find in bibimbap and eat em together. :D it was yummy and that wraps up (pun intended) our CNY in Korea.


this is it for now. i'm really looking forward to spring and hopefully, more adventurous adventures. ^^

Happy New Year and 새해 복 많이 받으세요! (:
