Going somewhere alone – Gangwondo

During this weekends, I traveled alone. I wanted to go with some close friends but they were all busy, so I decided to go alone rather than invite friends who I don’t want to go with.  I want to Gangneung and Samchuck, which  both cities belongs to Gangwon-do province where takes a big part of northern east coast.

There was a big reason why I wanted to go travel. This was taking some pictures. My sister sent her camera to me, so I wanted to use the camera and take some good pictures.  so I think I did.

Here are some pictures.

This picture is taken at Jeong-Dong-Jin where this city is in Gangneung and very famous for the sunrise. Many Korean people go this place to see the first sunrise of  new-year. When I went there, it was not new-year tho, I hope to see the sunrise, so I woke up at 5am. but I failed because the weather was so bad. I hope to see next time tho.

I love this picture. I think this is the best pic I have taken this trip. I feel the emptiness and silences.

From the next picture, just see how beautiful Korea is

Through this travel, I realized that traveling along isn’t that bad. I could change my schedule without any argument, I could be very spontaneous. Literally, I traveled with the flow which was awesome. I made a decision at the end of this travel. It is that I will go travel every once a month. Traveling make me feel refreshed, get rid of my stress and forget about any complexity.

I hope anybody who may read my posting give me any recommendation about tourist spots in the would. I would love to put the recommendations in my bucket list!!

I think life is like a good book

Her Korean name is Park Jung Hyun, who is my favorite woman singer in Korea. She gave a speech in SookMyung Women’s University about English literature which was her major in Columbia university.

She was talking about why she chose a English literature as her major, how she became a singer in Korea and how her major is working with her musical career.

Speaking of her singing, whenever I listen to her song, I think that she articulates the emotion of songs as her own way or emotion. I love the way she expresses the emotion of songs.  The expressive power of her musics is very superior and outstanding than any other singers in Korea as far as I know.  I think that is why she could become a  famous singer in Korea. That is her critical weapon.

I think she combined her major, English literature with her musical career well. She sings a song showing her emotion in her unique way. I think the way she articulate her emotion derives from studying literature. She is familiar with understanding the delicate emotion of characters and situations in literature. Studying literature can be the main factor of pursuing her musical career.  I think she is the very good example of combining two different fields, literature and music.

Finishing her speech, she quoted ” I think life is like a good book. the further you get into it, the more you begin to make it senses ” This quote is so true. I am just 25 years old. I am getting into my life as trying to find what I like and what drives me. It begins to make sense more to me and very interesting.

It was good to watch her lecture and I am more big fan of hers now. She has such a good personality I think.

Thanks for giving this impressive lecture to us!

This is what I recommend you to listen to. This is one of her songs that I like. Good to listen to at 2 or 3 am.

Must listen!
