Between the Line.....

Watching war movies, documentaries & reading books about war particularly about north and south are some of the things I enjoy on my free time. Am I weird?? I just like history since high school days. I have so much respect with the Soldiers and people who have had experienced being in a war. Putting myself in their shoes, I don't know what will happen to me just hearing the loud sound of guns and bombs. I'll have nervous breakdown.

Hyehwa Station: Marronier - Daehangno

Every station in Seoul Subway, there is an interesting place or things to do. I got off at Hyehwa Station to see Naksan Park and Ihwa Mural Village, but along the way I have discover a lot of things, that I didn't know that I was walking too long already.

I didn't know that this place was Daehangno & Marronier Park. Along the way there are many cute boutiques, coffee shops (which I like), restaurants, theatres. It is an entertainment street.

As you go, you'll see Marronier Park where you can enjoy listening to live musical performances, dance groups, Arts/ sculpture and young artists who will draw your portraits. Group of young people watching and a lot of family gathered around the park.

Daehangno is where you'll find a lot of performing arts & theaters. Youngsters are on the street selling tickets for the show. If only I have time when I was there I think I would watch it. So if you've got time, try watching one, who knows one of these new comer theatre actors and actress will become famous in the future. :)

In my point of view, this area is like a combination of Hongdae and Sinchon Station so it's not boring. A lot of fun things to do.

Here are some snapshots while I walk along the street.

Seoul Lantern Festival

Since 2009, Seoul has been displaying beautiful and colourful at Lanterns at Cheonggyecheon Stream. It is known as Seoul Lantern Festival which is held yearly, every first Week of November for two weeks. Lanterns displayed were made by local and international artist. I have seen the festival twice, 2012 & 2014 and still find it very interesting.

Here are some of the photos from 2012 & 2014.
