45th day in Seoul, officially crossed the halfway mark of my trip.

[Update] I actually managed to screw up my day-counting; it’s day 43 instead lol.

The weather is getting a lot warmer… a week ago I was still wondering when the winter is going to end, thinking that the temperature would rise bit by bit. But it rose a lot faster; I can now walk on streets without winter coat in daytime.

Visited Jogyesa, chief temple of the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism on Korean New Year’s night, thinking that there would be special events of some sort. Turned out it’s as serene as usual…

The one and only leaf on a tree outside of Bongeunsa; must be lonely lol…

Still have about 800+ photos to share (and continuously adding up). Seems like I’m never going to finish all the stories of this Korean trip on time.

    Sweet and spicy. It’s like adding plenty of chillies into standard BBQ sauce.

    Not sure if the Korean New Year is lasted for 15 days traditionally, but I think the celebration is pretty much over in three days for most folks.
