One thing that our class ended up doing every time we finished an exam, go out for good food. For our end-of-midterm celebration we went out to eat Pork Bone Soup (감자탕) near Grand Mart around Sinchon area. According to my Chinese friends, this place is pretty popular amongst the Chinese. The food was definitely tasty, price is reasonable, and it's not as spicy at it looks :)
For our day two of our theme parks hopping, we continued exploring Universal Studios by visiting the Islands of Adventure park. The weather was gorgeous, blue sky, warmer temperature. Combined that with the colors on Seuss Landing, this was one of my favorite spot during the trip. Seuss Landing is sooo colorful. Makes you happy just by being in that place :)
Then, we went to the Marvel Super Hero Island where they have the more crazier rides. I hate heights, so I didn't really go on much of the rides. But my sisters, they're more into those stuff and rode some crazy ones. I don't know how they do it.
The day after we arrived in Orlando, we visited Universal Studios Florida. The weather was pretty cold, but not that cold, compared to the snow storm that was happening in the east coast. But it was definitely colder than the usual weather. Since we went after the New Year celebration, the Christmas decorations were still up on the theme parks. I totally loved the feel of the holiday season. Lining up for rides during holiday season was another thing tho. Since school was still out, the park was pretty crowded and you had to wait at least 1 hour for rides. The Despicable Me ride was the craziest, I think the wait time was 4 hours or so. We kinda skipped the long waits rides and opted for the shorter one and just explored the parks with the time we had.
Earlier this year, I went to Orlando, Florida for our yearly family vacation and spent our time mostly on theme parks. So to kick off the travel series, here's our lunch at Bubba Gump before we began our day at Universal Studio. Having been eating a lot of Korean food lately, I have to say these look pretty good right now :)
Visited Foresta Book Cafe at Heyri Art Village a couple of weeks ago when I went to Paju. I was there on a weekday, so the cafe was pretty quite and only a couple of people were there. I have to say I love this place. High ceilings and plenty of natural lights that come into the place makes this a perfect place to read, study, or if you simply want to escape the hustle bustle of the city (although I'm not too sure how this place is on weekends though). Walking in, you'll be greeted with colorful tables and chairs and the big triangle tables in the center of the room is a nice touch to the interior of the cafe. For Korean drama viewers out there, you might've seen this place from a couple of dramas. The very recent one that I watched is the scene from 'Fated to Love You'. The cafe is also connected to the bookstore, although I don't think you can bring your drinks to the bookstore. If you're visiting Heyri Art Village in Paju, I would recommend visiting this place.
