Hogsmeade

September 27, 2014 by greysuitcase in Travel

After lunch, we pretty much spent our time roaming around Hogsmeade. The place's so charming, I wouldn't mind living here. Really. I think they pretty much have almost all the stores that are in the books and they all decorated prettily too. Here's the last set of the photos.

Of course on of the things that you should probably do when you're in Hogsmeade is to try the famous Butterbeer. I'm always curious to know how this drink would taste, and it was goood. First thing first though, although it's called Butterbeer, it's a non-alcoholic drinks. They have two kinds of Butterbeer—cold or frozen. The cold Butterbeer was served with ice and the frozen Butterbeer was served just like a slush drink with froth on top. The taste? It tasted like cream soda and butterscotch and it wasn't bad at all. I liked the frozen Butterbeer better than the cold one and I even got seconds (I blame it on the hot weather :p).

Also, we met Ollivander (or at least the Ollivander who was on shift at the time) of the Ollivanders—Makers of Fine Wands. Watched him do his things where he helped an audience to picked her perfect wand. The experience was pretty cool.

And this wraps up my Universal Studio adventure.  Next up for my travel series will be the Disneyworld adventure. And so the theme parks hopping will continue :) Stay tuned.

Three Broomsticks

September 25, 2014 by greysuitcase in Food, Travel

For lunch, we went to Three Broomsticks. This rustic tavern serves pretty good food I may say. We ordered their Spareribs Platter, Fish and Chips, and Rotisserie Smoked Chicken Platter and they were all good. And oh, loved the interior of the place.

The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

September 22, 2014 by greysuitcase in Travel

Continuing with our Universal Studio adventure, this was probably my favorite part of the trip, visiting the Wizarding World of Harry Potter. YAY! I'm a big fan of the Harry Potter series and practically grew up waiting for each book to come out. So I'm totally psyched being able to visit this part of the park. I think they really did a great job making the set and there were so many details to look at. And it's kind of fascinating too to see how they interpret all the things and places from the book and how they're different from what I've imaged in my head all these time.

We started with riding the rides and then kinda just roamed around the area sight-seeing the shops. Anyway, I have plenty of photos so I'm breaking the posts down to three parts. So here's the first set of the photos :)

To be continued to part two...

Gossam Naengmyeon (고쌈냉면)

September 20, 2014 by greysuitcase in Food, Seoul, South Korea

Gossam Naengmyeon (고쌈냉면) is one of the place that I usually go to for a quick and cheap lunch. They have multiple locations and I've been to the one in Ewha University Area & Sinchon area. They're (obviously) specialized in Naengmyeon, but their Bibimbap is also good too. And when you order either one, it comes with a side of beef.

Pork Bone Soup (감자탕)

September 17, 2014 by greysuitcase in Food, South Korea, Seoul

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 :)
