Bonjour Angelina et Lionel! 

merci beaucoup when we were there, you were so nice for us. 

Come back again to Seoul, let's drink soju again!! 

Looking back to last winter in Helsinki.
It's so hot still in september in seoul, so i miss the winter time in scandinavia.
I think I can say that it was my favourite travel destination. It's not too big and crowded like London, and I felt lost in direction most of time in Milan. Actually it was not too cold even in winter time in helsinki. Above all, there are many hot places abt art and design in Helsinki.
Kiasma is worth to visit to see the architecture itself.

in the train to Como.

Tiffany from canada, Nicole from london, and ... me?

Rather than the architecture (it's national theatre in copenhagen), I like this an easy and composed attitude. They might have been busy, working on riverside, but at least they looked happier than one in office. 

After my journey to Milan, I recognised there has been the same brand shop 10 corso como in Seoul. Although it's named by the address in Milan, it's still the same name in Seoul with different address.

Everyone seemed to like there except their prices, especially judy from NY got an idea for her bar. Who can deny its greenery space with design and arts??

We could make a day of it in its big complex, which includes the Galleryia Carla Sozzani, a bookstore, an boutique for men and women, and a cd shop. A cafe and a hotel 3 rooms are also in the same place. Sozzani was influenced by oriental bazaars. She was also inspired by Biba which is a boutique in London. It's famous for collection from new designers, they said Martin Margiela was first sold here, prada and lanvin also got popular since they were sold in 10 corso como.

h!dong came back to seoul. From London to Milan, and Copenhagen, it was a huge pleasure and a great experience... 

A cafe in Louisiana museum of modern art, Denmark. After seeing inside and outside of the building, I had to have a rest. With the ocean view through wide glass window, it served cozy and warm atmosphere for visitors. I could find some familiar materials like wooden louver ceiling, brick floor, etc, as I worked with those material in 101arch.

It looks like a photo of postcard!! Last time in Copenhagen, I had to go alone to this beautiful amusement park, it was the shortcoming when I travelled alone.
Tivoli Park, Copenhagen

The entrance of church Temppeliaukio in Helsinki. It was too difficult to find here, so called "rock church", because it's covered with the natural rocks. The religious architecture wasn't shallow nor superficial like any other ones with only glamourous surface. Please look at the small cross, it is the only sign that you can recognise that it is a church.

I finally told my boss about my summer school, and am able to go to London and Milan. In 3 month's time, I'm going! Wait for me, mates!

Bar Atelier

The Cocktail Aalto and an Aalto candleholder.

This bar is on top of a five-star hotel, Hotel Torni in Helsingki.

Although I could not understand why there were the transparent chairs by Philp Stock, and there weren't anything connected with Alba Aalto apart from the cocktail Aalto and glasses, it was a enjoyable place with its great night view.

Sense of place
Genius loci literally means genius place. It is used to describe places that are deeply memorable for their architectural and experiential qualities.

How young I was!! I have terrible memory but I can't forget every moments in Assisi in 2001. It was first journey by myself to Europe, although I regreted travelling alone since its first day. Good things would be better if it can be shared. Thankfully, I met some nice American guys, and I had my photo taken in front of St. Francesco.

Can you recognise who's design it is?
Approximatively 1 hour from centre of Copenhagen, you can visit here. Here is a cafe in Ordrupgaard museum.
It was built in 1918 as a country estate and showcase for insurance magnate Wilhelm Hansen's collection of French Impressionist and Danish paintings. A new building designed by Zaha Hadid attached to the old buildings recently.
Although peoples who know about her can recognise her buildings even from 100m away, it was challenging for me to look for. I amazed by its new concept with curves and black colour concrete which made me refresh.
Let's have a dinner at this restaurant of the museum next time.

I'm going to Amsterdam and Dusseldorf on New Year's day. I might have got a travel luck this year..

I should have checked. I should have asked!!.. I only asked when the guided tour was in Opera, but didn't asked about admission. If you have got to get into it, you should make a reservation for the guided tour.

The rice cookies are in the box. Please do not pay attention to Yeom's boyish pose.
You should have seen her lovely pink make up last Saturday.

Making rice cookies.

Put some rice on a small pan, and put the pan into the old press cooker. If you turn the handle on the top of the machine, a round rice cookie is popped out in a sec.

In Kumamoto, January 2008

On third day of company trip to Japan, we went to Kumamoto castle which is in the centre of the city. It is surrounded by beautiful nature as stream, and modern buildings aside. Although some buildings were under construction or rebuilted because of the war 100years ago, the streets of zigzag shape were between tall huge walls. When most of people were amazed by the buildings above the walls, I couldn't take my eyes off from the curves of walls. They were built to defend from the enemies on purpose, and it made magnificent views also.

Do I look like a Japanese girl?
Thanks to the weather, I went around only wearing this blue padding yukata in January.
Kurokawa is in Kyushu island, south of Japan.
It is a very lovely and cozy town, and has got approximately 20 onsen ryokans in it.
If you buy a onsen one day ticket which made of wood, you can go and enjoy any 3 onsen ryokans in this town.
