Trip to Seoul

Last Saturday we woke up at 8:30 in the morning because we have to go in Seoul to take care our Chinese visa and have my last vaccination at the International Clinic in Itaewon.
We waited  in the chair inside the bus terminal after purchasing our bus ticket, our departure time is 10 o’clock in the morning, we have to wait almost forty five minutes. I feel very hungry because I did not yet eat my breakfast, I think hubby is already bored waiting so he ask me to see if the bus is already open for boarding. So I take a look, the bus is now open so I went back inside the terminal and call hubby’s attention that we can now board the bus. We hand our ticket to the driver, the bus is full. When we arrived at our designated seats, there’s a couple sitting so we’re confused. The guy look on our tickets, guess what? Yes it is a right bus to Seoul, right seat number but not the right time, the bus is a 9:30 bus and what we have on our ticket is ten o’clock bus. What an embarrassment, luckily we our foreigners so it is fine to commit mistakes sometimes because we can’t read their native language and anyway the driver let us in so not our full mistake. The driver says sorry but we just say thank you to him and to the guy in the seat.

Looking at the Sky in Gyeongbokgung

Days seems so fast its Friday again, time to look at the sky and wish all the things you have in your mind. This photo was taken Gyeongbokgung, a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1394 and reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name of the palace, Gyeongbokgung, translates in English as “Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven.”

This is my 4th entry for Skywatch Friday

Ruby Tuesday- Azaleas

When Spring time flower blossoms, this picture was taken three weeks ago here in Korea. You can see a lot of flowering flowers everywhere here. I don’t know what’s the name of this flower but as what I found online it is called Azaleas are flowering shrubs making up part of the genus Rhododendron. Originally azaleas were classed as a different genus of plant, but now they are recognized as two of the eight subgenera of rhododendrons – Pentanthera (deciduous) and Tsutsuji (evergreen). Azaleas bloom in spring, in damp mountainous places, their flowers dying only a few weeks later. They do not need as much sun as other plants; they live near trees and sometimes under them. Azalea is also the flower of the astrology symbol Sagittarius.
