wah really its been a year since my "MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR 2016" post. 2016 for me is full with joyful and happiness of exploring korea to the whole & meeting many new friends. Compared to 2015, i just more just stayed at home ( maybe just few times had meal outside) but now i opened my mind, my 2nd year in Korea must be different, its not about saving money but quality time in korea because i dont know until when i'll be here. Ice fishing and skiing with my sis Eveline, beautiful Cherry blossom in Yeoido park, summer escape to Jeju island, amazing autumn short trip to Sokcho, Daegu, Jeonju and Naejangsan, just super memorable. And especially when it comes to December, it became more special because of excitement of christmas!
