With the recent Bullet Train incident in China, we forget the famine in Africa that is killing thousands of people.
We tend to forget/ignore what we cannot see. When they are not in the news. When these people are so poor they cannot tweet/facebook about it. When these people are dying daily. Silently.

Angry, furious, outraged, shocked, stunned, dumbfounded, appalled, dismayed, disgusted, repulsed, sickened, upset…
By this whole disastrous incident and its aftermath.
AND one of the highlights got to be this government official’s ridiculous explanation
I haven’t joined July 1st March after 2003 and 2004. This year the HK government managed to irritate me (and thousands of HK citizens) again to such an extent that so many people went and joined the march this year.
I have posted this on weibo (i.e.微博 = mainland China twitter) when I was marching on July 1st. 
For Chinese tourists, the most commonly visited sites in Jeju include Seongsan Ilchulbong(Sunrise Peak), Seopjikoji, the Lotte Hotel (these two were where All In was shot, but I have never watched that drama) and the Teddy Bear Museum.
However, those places with a lot of mainland Chinese tourists are usually the least interesting places…
Seongsan Ilchulbong(Sunrise Peak) is quite beautiful and there is just a short walk up to the crater, so this makes it a good tourist spot, but it is really too crowded… I like Hallasan a lot more.
My top fav destinations!

Jeju
Ever since I started doing research on my upcoming trip to Iceland, I started to read about HDR photography, and regretted not taking pics with multiple exposures before in my Jiuzhaigou trip @.@
Today I found this software that can create pseudoHDR pic with a single photo! I dug out the pictures I took in Jiuzhaigou and did some experiments.
Here is the end result:
Most people were surprised that I was actually going to stay on Jeju-do for 7 days! Friends who have been to Jeju-do thought there was nothing much to see there. However, most of these people went there with tour groups. =.=” I will try to write about the various places I visited on Jeju-do as a record for myself and introduction for others.
I have wanted to go to Jeju-do since I watched “My Name is Kim Sam Soon” and knew about Hallasan.
This first detailed post is going to be about Hallasan as I did a detailed search before I went to Jeju-do, and I could not find a lot of information about hiking in Hallasan online! (Maybe all the information is in Korean, and I can’t read them… =.=”)
Yeha guesthouse could be the best hostel I have ever stayed in. And I have stayed in quite a lot of hostels around the world…
(I haven’t received any money from them, and this is not an advertisement XD)
Started watching this drama more than a year ago when I heard from someone that they were really like Ariel & Joe in They Kissed Again 惡作劇2吻.
Started twice and stopped twice. (The second time was 2 months ago after I finished Secret Garden…)
TVB aired it not long ago, so I decided to record the HD version and watch it slowly… for Hyun Bin…
It surprised me because after, I forgot the exact number, the 7th (?) episode. I started to like the drama… Around the 10th ep, I think I love the drama. It was really a realistic depiction of a relationship. In this aspect, it is rather like They Kissed Again.
However, it made me my heart ache far more often compared to They Kissed Again.
繼續上回的花痴/瘋子/秘密花園廢人文，請慎入XD
有朋友安慰我說，還看得懂我的中文…感動ing…不過寫完這幾篇，都還是會寫回英文，我還有些自知之明XD。
之前在Seaes的網頁早就看到有一個叫Hanok Guesthouse的地方，不過不會韓文，所以不知在那裡。到了之後，發現其實它就在Seaes裡面！我覺得可能是比較便宜的住宿，負擔不起Seaes的可以去研究一下怎樣book那家guesthouse，其實就在cafe的對面。
都是傳統韓國的房屋的樣子。
