Hey Miyuki!
I love it! You must be having a blast in Hongdae. Also, the Kakaotalk emoticons are fantastic, I agree. And I may have to make a trip up to Seoul for some of those cheap piercings you speak of…
Yay! Yea Hongdae is pretty awesome! Come visitttt!
Love this! So accurate and super cute, which suits Korea so well.
Thanks so much!

Your top 7 about Seoul, South Korea perfectly fits my top as well. Me reading this makes me miss Korea even more! I studied abroad in Seoul, South Korea in the Fall of 2009 and its been 6 years and still missing that amazing city. 🙂
Hey thanks for stopping by and commenting 🙂 Were you there for just a semester? Where else did you get to visit?
Hi, sorry this is a really late reply! Yes I was just there for a semester and it was the best semester of my life! I also visited Busan and Suwon. I haven’t visited a lot of places since we were offcourse in school and busy studying… (-_- )” but hoping that I get the chance to go back there again! 🙂
