South Korea Traveling: Fall View at Jiri Mountain 지리산

Hello everyone! (＠´∀｀)ノ

Today's travel recommendation is Jirisan~! 

Jirisan is a mountain located in the southern region of South Korea, considered one of the most important mountains in Korea and also home to the largest national park, Jirisan National Park (지리산국립공원)

My dear boyfriend suggested this trip because the fall colours were at their peak of beauty!

 I took too many pictures and I will only post my favorites here but make sure you check out this album for more 〜(￣▽￣〜)

I never thought I would take so many pictures of...leaves.

We spent a wonderful weekend surrounded by nothing but nature and the guest house we stayed in was what I can call now my dream vacation house. If we hadn't gone there for sightseeing and hiking I would definitely stay in the house and relax for hours doing nothing but admiring the view.

The above picture is our guest house. If you include Jirisan in your trip to Korea I REALLY REALLY recommend it. The name is Soso guest house (소소 게스트하우스)

I had never seen such beautiful fall colours in my life and I fell in love with the red trees.

The combination of reds, yellows, greens, browns, the blue sky and even the yellow rice fields were absolutely beautiful. It felt like something out of this world (city girl much?)

We saw many guest houses in the way, private houses as well and I loved how many people grew their own vegetables for themselves or for sale

Straight out of a Disney movie

It was my first time climbing a mountain. The path was relatively easy but I was so out of shape... it took us more than two hours to climb and then about 20min to descend.

I was expecting to take a long rest and have a nice picnic at the peak but there were so many mosquitoes. SO.MANY.FREAKING.MOSQUITOES. so we took pictures and got the heck out of there as fast as we could.

Leaf or butterfly? (´▽`ʃƪ)

More pictures of leaves. Leaves on fire.

I had never seen such a clear night sky EVER. And I also had never seen so many stars... this was definitely a great experience. Too bad it was so cold, otherwise I could have stared and stared and lost track of time.

On our last day we visited the one thousand year old pine and on our way we enjoyed a long and peaceful walk hearing the sound of the water flowing through the rocks~

I don't recall seeing any non-Korean at the mountain, which tells me people tend to visit the cities and forget that Korea is also rich in nature. If you live in Korea and want to get away from the city stress do consider visiting this magical place, specially on fall.

This trip was short but truly amazing. I got to spend quality time with my boyfriend while getting in touch with nature with all my senses. 

The sound of the leaves moving with the wind, the sound of the wild life, the beautiful colors and landscapes, the fresh air... I hope to see you soon, Jirisan. You have won my heart.

My trip to Tokyo I: Harajuku Bubbles Store

Hello cuties! 〜(￣▽￣〜)

By the beginning of this month I went to Japan for only three days but I was able to see a few things, the worst part is that it rained during ALL my stay and the only day with clear skies was my coming back day and I had to be in the airport early in the morning

 (ノД`)・゜・。 sooo I wasn't able to take many nice pictures and I didn't see cute girls in the streets of Harajuku.

My favorite store in Harajuku is called Bubbles, according to their website they have another store located in Shibuya and an online store! ( ´ ▽ ` )b

The store is not just adorable on the outside but on the inside as well. It's completely impossible for someone like me to see this and simply pass by. I MUST go inside even if it's just for looking (not that I'm *cough*broke*cough*)

You can find pretty much anything cute, from bags to pajamas, from shirts to jumpers, shoes... The store is very small but the variety makes you think otherwise.

And look at these lovely pastel colors! I would have bought the same pajamas in every shade possible if I could!

Look at the below picture, do you see these shelves? They look like decoration but they're supper cool doors for the fitting rooms. The fitting rooms are like magical secret rooms that surprise you when you thought this store couldn't get any better.

The staff is also nice but they didn't know English well so I had to make an effort (which was my responsibility being in their country)

The only thing I disliked was not being able to buy everything ahaha

and maybe also the fact that the shorts and skirts were way too small but at least the shirts, dresses, jumpers, etc were over sized even for my chubby western self.

I fell in love with this pajamas. I love everything with "princess" on it. But unfortunately I had to choose and a jumper seemed more necessary since the weather is changing already. I would have used this pajamas for two weeks and then kiss it goodbye until next year.

So this is the item I chose:

It's a cozy over sized jumper. It's super cute so I couldn't be happier about my choice!

Even the bag was cute TT

Stay alert for my next post about Tokyo!

♥︎See you next time sweetie pies, stay cute and fabulous♥︎

한국민속촌 Korean Folk Village

Hello everyone! ﾟ･✿ヾ╲(｡◕‿◕｡)╱✿･ﾟ I hope you're doing fine~ I'm sorry for disappearing, I have so much to update and so many videos to upload! So let's start little by little.
Last Sunday I visited Minsok village as a way to celebrate Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving) and it was magical. I had a great time and I felt as if I had traveled back in time. If you ever come to Korea (or are already here!!) and you're interested in Korean history then this amazing place is perfect for you. It's such a special museum because you get to feel history first hand instead of entering some modern building to find history behind glass and it's also cool the fact that many movies and dramas were filmed there!
It surprised me how little foreigners were visiting the village, maybe because it was a Korean holiday so it was mostly Korean families but I really think this is something to appreciate in your trip (´・ω・｀)
I took soo many pictures, here are some of them:

♡See you next time♡
