Korea x Hong Kong

Wow, time really flies! In just about 2 hours time, its going to be a whole new year. Just before 2013 ends, here's a summary and review of my annual family vacation. This time round, we went to 2 beautiful places- Korea and Hong Kong. 

 

Korea: we started off at the mountain top, and proceeded towards the capitol, Seoul. The scenery was utterly breathtaking at the mountains, and in Seoul, it was a fantastic shopping paradise. Hong Kong: Aside from visiting relatives, we did many atypical activities such as going to the villages, cycling in the suburbs etc. All in all, it was a thoroughly enjoyable trip, with good food, good company and last but not least, a good camera! And so, here, you must prepare for a mandatory spam of photos (that comes after every interesting trip made to almost anywhere)

 

*The pictures were mostly unedited, because of the sheer amount if pictures I took! But of course, there are some that went through editing. All photos taken with iPhone 5S. There will be no captions because... ... lazy?

 

 

 

So, that was our parting picture from Korea, taken in Seoul. It was sad to leave such an busy yet exciting country. Action was everywhere, and we were always kept on our feet! Let's not forget that they sell the latest and trendiest buys in town.

 

Hong Kong, well Hong Kong was definitely... polluted. But it was beautiful in its own ways too, the scenery in the suburban areas, the food, the language, the people, they all tie in beautifully to form a culture.

 

 

 

Well, it ended off with Santa socks, Santa hat clip, and a Christmas tree? Because our last day spent in HK was Christmas! The jolly season of the year! Unfortunately, it was rather mundane as we had loads of packing to do! But one shall still bask in the Christmas spirit whenever possible yes?

 

Anyway, that was a rather brief summary (in picture form) of my vacation. I would classify it under one of my best holidays, because firstly, it felt SO long. It was as if time stretched itself way out of proportion. I could properly relax and bask in the atmosphere of the place I was in. There were no concerns, no worries or whatsoever. Just plain joy and contentment on this trip.

 

It was a great wrap to 2013, an already amazing year. Hopefully, 2014 will be more amazing! 

 

Cheers to the new year! Happy New Year everybody! :-)

 

Love,
