Changdeokgung 창덕궁

· Fashion, Travel

In Seoul, the most impressive palace to visit is (take a deep breath …) Changdeokgung, the Prosperity palace. From what I read, since its construction in 1405, it underwent a whole lot of destructions and reconstructions, for the result that we can admire today. It really lives up to its UNESCO classification as World Heritage!

In addition to the various royal chambers, you can also visit the Biwon secret garden (all in all, not so secret): a garden that is best admired during the autumn, when the leaves are fiery red. On my part, I saw leaves the color of …. nothing (damn late spring I tell you!) but it didn’t keep me from enjoying the visit.

And for what concerns my tourist outfit, I had the pleasure of getting my almost-Ulyse jacket out and my “trompe-l’oeil” tights (almost like those from last time, but warmer) … and add another “trompe-l’oeil” with my “camera” bag! (English translation by Bleu Marine)

Back from Seoul !

· Illustration, Travel

I haven’t told you everything again: I wasn’t with you these past weeks!…well, let’s say I was looking on from afar, for I was on vacation under different latitudes!

My destination? Seoul! I heard that in Paris, the temperatures hadn’t really gone up while I was away, but if it can lift your spirits, it wasn’t much better in Seoul! It was rather chilly, I missed the cherryblossoms (damn late spring!) but it was a total change of scenery.

This city is amazing, a mix of tradition and modernity (kind of like Tokyo), the people are really nice (but for most, don’t speak a word of english: you have no idea how much better my signing capacities got).

The addresses are almost impossible to find (signs in korean+korean people who don’t speak english = winning combination to get lost). Finding a restaurant was really something to be deserved! But these ambushes didn’t keep me from loving the city.

I grew up listening to K-Pop all the time (I was a newbie, I got a crash course here), I let myself be overwhelmed by food at every street corner (it’s simple, I wanted to try EVERYTHING). I have tons of things to show and tell. Until I get a chance to sort it all out, here are a couple pictures to give you a foretaste! See you soon! (English translation by Bleu Marine)

I’m almost ashamed of the title, but I had a pang of nostalgia for this character whose only job, in my opinion, was to be Donna’s boyfriend at the beginning of the cult tv series Beverly Hills 90210 (I did start to appreciate him more as the series moved on, but my favorite was Dylan of course!) …

Anyway, all this to say that silver is my thing, much more than gold (I ony like it when it’s aged) and I needed to do a tribute-post to my favorite type of metal. (English translation by Marine)
