hey seoul sister.

before christmas, me and my boyfriend visited his sister who lives in seoul, south korea. we only spent 2 days there and then went on to bangkok, but i took some nice pictures there and i want to share them with you. my impression of korea is that it is very similar to germany - only a thousand times as crowded. but it is a very civilized country (what does "civilized" even mean?!) and it was awfully cold there, so that reminded me of home. but there are sooo many people everywhere, constantly bumping into you and blocking the seats in the subway... but i still liked it just for the sake of the experience. i love travelling and seeing new things and places, and after all the food is so interesting! on the first evening, we went to a korean BBQ place, where you have a little grill in the middle of your table, and you grill your meat and then roll it into leaves together with al sorts of other delicacies and eat the leaf just like a wrap! and the eat sushi by the roll, without cutting the slices! so, here are some impressions of south korea's capital.

oh, and forgive me if it's too many pictures, i just couldn't pick less... just klick on "more..." at the bottom of the post to see all of the pictures!)

you sippin' just a little too slow for me.




first day of classes today! i'm heading off to uni now, and will spend the whole day there working on my dissertation doing NOTHING and hating myself for it in between classes... yay! i am wearing a watch i bought in thailand in december, and it is still set on thai time. i don't quite know why, but i like to be remembered of my last holidays everytime i look at the watch and calculate the german time :)

cheers!

she acts like summer and walks like rain.











did you all have anice weekend? i did, even though saturday was quite exhausting - my dad and his wife moved to an apartment on the second floor and they have really heavy furniture. but in the evening i celebrated our 3 years anniversary with my boyfriend, so that was a nice ending for the day. 3 years. makes me feel old, ha.
on the pictures i am wearing a cat eye mask aroung my waist, because i bought it and never quite knew how to wear it. and a belt seems like a good everyday solution. it's very hard not to buy stuff, because almost every blogger i follow constantly gets so nice and pretty things that inspire me and make me wanna shop till my feet hurt or something. but oh well, if i want to go to singapore for an internship in summer i will have to save some money... 
i discovered this relatively old album "drops of jupiter" by train. they are the band that landed the hit "hey soul sister" in 2010, you know? the make good music! especially the song"missisippi" is so sad and beautiful... i am spending the evening listening to music and telling myself that i am starting to have a HUGE problem with finfishing my bachelor thesis in time, i have like 12 days left and a LOT of work to do... hate it! my last semester of university starts tomorrow and i have to say i am kinda happy about it. finally something to do and a structure for my day, after almost 2 months of doing basically nothing. sounds odd, but i enjoy having some reason to get up in the morning.

cheers!
