[travel] seoul 2012

This particular trip to Seoul involved me running around frantically to check off everything on my list. Since I had to make pit stop trips to Thailand and Hong Kong, I had literally six days to gotothedermatologist-getmyhairdone-meetsomefriends-hitupmyusualspotsinapku-checkoutthenightmarkets-sayhellotomydoctor-eatwithmyfamily-andallthatothergoodstuff. To say that it was manic would be an understatement.

  1. LOVE the Yayoi Kusama for LV display... she's always been one of my favourite artists. Looks like a whirlwind trip, but totally worth it!

  2. Love seeing your pictures from the other side of the world! I don't know much about Korea, so I'm really enjoying reading about it and seeing your pics! The individually wrapped macarons are adorable :)
