20 November, 2017 5:26 PM"GLOBAL TINTINNABULATION" Assemblage | Seoul Arts Center: 무민원화전 Moomin Exhibition The exhibition features Tove Jansson's original artwork of Moomins, a Sweedish character adorned by many Soulites. The exhibition features never before seen pieces and original illustrations of the comic. Contrary, the Seoul Arts Center features exhibitions from calligraphy, taxonomy of design, and occasional pop ups like the Moomin Exhibition! They also have a music hall and a opera house which is on my to-do list before I leave Seoul. The weather in Seoul is dropping quite periodically. A subtle new beginning approaches as the trees shed their leaves. A cold gust of a promised change and I feel something stir inside of me. The feeling? Cold intolerance. As a result, daily convenience store runs for my two disposable heat packs and a steamed sweet potato keeps me sane in this weather. A dewy condensation on a cafe caught my eye and made me smile. I have never lived in the cold and it was a moment of realization as I thought to myself: I have embraced change to its entirety; to the the extent that I haven't really taken the time to step back and ponder about it. I have adopted a Seoulites way of life in Korea and found that living abroad has taught me how to face any given situation head on. What I mean is that failure is less terrifying. Rejection is less painful. Unpleasant necessities are actually pleasant and the unsavory tasting facets of life are a little more savory. It is a bit early to say this, but I will miss this place. On the other hand, I paid Namiseon Island another visit alongside a group of friends for some delicious Hotteok. On a whim we visited Garden of the Morning Calm. Sadly, we visited during a depressing period. Most of the garden was closed off because of the weather. The next day I got to meet Henry and Josh at Hanok Village. It was a horrible time to be in a hanbok, but we embraced the cold!! My friend lily who goes to Yonsei University showed me around her campus and the surrounding area. Needless to say, their campus is far more nicer then Korea University's campus. Shortly after we visited the Leeum Museum of Art. Out of all the museums i've been to, I highly suggest visiting this one. Entry fee is 10,000 won, however, they have a student discount that brings the fee to 5,000 won ( 50% hooray ! ). I have never been out as much as I would love to, but now I am savoring every day as there is t-minus 31 days left in Seoul, South Korea. On the other hand, this weeks destination is Jeju Island ! I heard it is warmer out there (thank goodness).
