It’s been a while since the last post I know, so what’s up ?
Well I’ve travelled to Korea last months, for a 3 weeks trip. Actually it was a damn good trip, the city ‘such a nice place (well might not be for a western point of view cause it’s sometimes dirty and the density of the population is that high). I really enjoyed being in a country I didn’t know, with no people I would know (except a mate I joined there) with a complete loss of landmarks. Besides, That trip was a kind of returning back home, though “home” was a place I didn’t know… Can’t really explain how I felt there and how I still feel, on the meantime I was really happy and there was that side of me who felt sad and alone. I was feeling good cause the people there were nice, however, it reminded that I could have been part of the korean culture and country if I hadn’t been abandoned. At once, I would have been at the right place but I can’t blame destiny for that, I mean, I now have a good life in a western country it’s kind of ok for me. I’m a foreigner in the both countries, whatever… Ain’t we all world citizens afterall?
Took some photos of course, but most of the photos I took are analogues cause most of the times, it pisses me off carrying the EOS with me with all the lenses and the stuff. So on with the photos
First days, I was hosted by Hyeyon and her falimy, she’s definitly so nice and so interesting girl to know.
Her dog, Hanee

The subway provides a good solution to go everywhere in Seoul and is really cheap but modern. When I was lazy enough I was just taking a cab, there are also cheap

There were those snacks everywhere in the city, where you can have a cheap dish while you’re shopping for example.
Et toi derrière quel ours te caches tu?ahahaha
Tibo, un pote de Dijon, que j’ai eu beaucoup de plaisir à retrouver sur place, ca faisait quelquechose comme 8 ans qu’on s’était pas vu. Et c’est toujours autant un crevard
Gyeongbokgung palace, It was such a nice place, very restful despite the hords of tourists and kids.

Was funny to see those traditional guards, cause just around the palace there are skycrappers in the backround.

My zodiac sign, one of the cutest with the rabbit
When I was visiting a museum nearby the palace, I stumbled across that group. I told you there were tons of kids yelling an running around, those ones were apparently punished by the teacher. nevertheless, five mins later they were still running and yelling like crazy lol.
Another traditionnal palace that I forgot the name (there are seven in Seoul and I tended to mix the names of them).



This was in ewha, where I was hosted. I really like those streets, next post I’ll upload some prints taken in Insadong which ‘s even more nice.
Best Korean barbecue in Sinchon, well there are so many restaurants that it’s hard to make a choice when you come out for dinner. That was one of the best thing I liked, the restaurants are really cheap. I only ate 2 times in 3 weeks in the apartment where I was, either my breakfast+ lunch+ dinner = OUTSIDE
That’s said, when I got back to my place, I really had a hard time getting back to cooking meals and so lol. Apart from that, korean cooking is really healthy and spicy. I now miss the taste of some spicy Kimchi or a good plate of Bimbimbap (I’m not sure about the names), here in france it’s only (western) chinese food or sushis


Soju !!!
At the S3, a bar where we would go to have a drink, the people threre are mostly french. Hélène is one of those lucky student who leave to study abroad


I had the chance of seeing the cherry blossoms opened while I was in Korea, I was scared to be there a bit too early and miss all the trees with flowers in the streets .
that’s it for today, took me some time to edit and upload those bunch of fotos, gotta eat for now .
