Hi dearies! I'm back with another post in my Guide to Busan series ^^ Up in this post, I will show you the things to eat & where to shop in Busan! 
If you have not been to Busan, I would highly recommend booking your accommodation in Seomyeon area! Why? That's because of all the food streets and shopping all around! There's so much activity going on from day to night, it's simply the "Hongdae" in Busan! :D

Cafes in Seoul Part 2: Cafe Noriter Seoul

By 6:56 PM
Hi dearies! I hope your week has been doing well!^^
Here's a part of my Cafes in Seoul guide: Cafe Noriter Seoul!
This is one of the cafes with the most elaborately decorated pretty cafe interior that I love so much!
I am so excited for my upcoming trip back to Korea with B hehe.. And so, do pardon me for spamming my blog with the 2014 Korea trip's memories :p
There's an adventure at every corner, as well as instagram & Pinterest opportunity ^^
This unique and cute café is tucked in one of the quieter streets in Edae (Ewha Women's University). This Cafe Noriter outlet is situated above a retail store just opposite the Yes APM mall.
It was just the perfect place to chill out after our hair cut/ hair perm session before we conquer the streets of Edae for more shopping! Whee~!

Guide to Busan: Lotte Department Store Sky Garden

By 2:29 PM
Hi dears! ^^  Today I would like to introduce to you one of my favourite places in Busan that I would highly recommend for you to add into your Korea Itinerary.
This place is where I've viewed this magnificent sunset~ That's Busan tower over there! :D So, where is this pretty place? It's none other than the Lotte Department Store Sky Garden! 

The Gwangbok branch of Lotte Department Store is located at Nampodong Station. It is combined with two buildings, Main Store and Aqua Mall. In the Main Store there is a wide range of selection like the Busan main branch, and the Aqua Mall also has many shops and restaurants. Especially in the Aqua Mall, the world’s largest indoor musical water fountain which was registered in the Guiness World Book of Records is operated every hour for 10 minutes. Additionally, the rooftop park, which is the largest in Korea, offers a great view of the entire city of Busan.

PS: No entrance fees required!;)

Hi dears! I'm back again! ^_^
In this post, I will be providing you with details on how to get to Nami Island (남이섬), Garden of Morning Calm (아침고요수목원) & Petite France (쁘띠프랑스) . It is all linked via the shuttle bus in Gapyeong. Very convenient and you can cover at least 2 of these 3 locations within a day. You will be able to cover all 3 if you plan your timing strategically based on the shuttle bus timings ;)

Here's the map of Gapyeong and the yellow arrows are pointing to the 3 places of interests which we are going to cover in this guide:

It's simply a pleasant surprise when we reached there with absolutely no expectations at all as we did not do much research on this attraction :p

Journey into the Norwegian Fjordland

By 3:00 PM
Day-dreaming of the next holiday destination when I thought of my Scandinavia travelogue that is not updated fully.. :p Time to settle my wanderlust mood with these pictures for now!

Today's travel post is one of the most scenic portion of my entire 2012 Scandinavia trip! :D

Bringing to you pictures of our journey into the depth of the Norwegian Fjordlands, one of the prettiest place I have seen so far! It's a wonderful place filled with soaring mountains, icy glaciers and rivers.. Simply magnificent~ Almost any picture taken would be postcard scenery.. *in my opinion :p* Of course, do pardon my amateur photography skills as I feel that they don't do justice to the pretty scenery.. Would love to head there again one day with my tripod in hand and lots of free and easy time to take even more photos! *daydreams*
Rise & shine and it was time to journey into the beautiful Norwegian Fjordland!
