And the best part of family holidays was that I didn't have to plan anything and just had to follow what my brother and dad had planned :-).</div>

Grunge'n'Art magazine recently published my friend Carrie's submission online and you should all go check it out <a href="https://grungeandart.com/2016/09/06/caroline-wong-fragility-of-love/">HERE</a> because the photos are so bomb (you'd be totally missing out if you don't go check out her photos, <i>after</i> reading my blog post obviously ;-))! As per usual, I was able to tag along and take some behind-the-scene photos and footage. Unfortunately, my camera died on me during the photoshoot so I only have a short, make-shift video which I've posted on Instagram (link <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/BKQegoHjyud/?taken-by=imblanc2">HERE</a>), and please excuse my old iPhone quality shots:<br />

I've been accumulating video clips throughout the past few months trying to get together a ~summer vibes~ video. I didn't have time to edit it earlier and so it's really become more of a video to make you nostalgic about summer. Many of the scenes may look familiar if you've been following my Instagram accounts (<a href="http://instagram.com/imblanc">@imblanc</a> & <a href="http://instagram.com/imblanc2">@imblanc2</a>).<br />
<br />
It's already September, which means I'm going back to uni in a few weeks and summer is definitely over :-(. So join me in being already nostalgic over summer (especially since the temperature dropped and it started raining in London literally as soon as August ended) and watch my Summer Nostalgia video:</div>

This post is kinda overdue since I went to the Victoria Miro gallery a couple weeks ago but better late than never. The weather in London is killing me with barely any sun and a weird humidity. So this is what I wore in 20 degree weather with a denim jacket and it was pretty much weather perfect - not too cold and not too hot.</div>

If you're around in London, I'd definitely recommend going to see 'Yayoi Kusama: All the Eternal Love I Have for the Pumpkins & Chandelier of Grief' exhibition (link <a href="http://www.victoria-miro.com/exhibitions/496/">here</a>). The mirrored rooms are completely mesmerising. The only tip I would give to you is that you get very little time in the rooms since they only let 2 people in at a time, so be camera ready when they let you in.</div>

I found this top in The Whitepepper's sample sale for £10. Definitely keep an eye on their <a href="https://www.instagram.com/thewhitepepper/?hl=en">instagram</a> or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thewhitepepperofficial/?fref=ts">facebook page</a> for any other upcoming sample sales because you can get a lot of their clothing for much cheaper there (e.g. this top is still available on their online website but for £20). </div>

I have been really getting into culottes lately. They're super comfortable and high waisted culottes seem to make me look taller, which is always a plus. My friend literally looked so surprised when she saw me stating that I looked weirdly a lot taller than usual. I think pairing the culottes with platform boots probably helped in the height department as well.<br />
<br />
This summer in London is sucking so far weather-wise and apparently it's not forecasted to go above 24 degrees for the rest of the summer. So let's pray that the forecasts are wrong and that I will be blessed with some sunlight soon.<br />

Looking back at this academic year, I've gone through so much drama at uni, but I guess you've gotta stay positive and I have learnt some valuable life lessons along the way. So here you go, 10 life lessons I've learnt at the age of 20:</div>

<ol>
<li><b>Confidence helps.</b> Act confident enough and you'll look great in any outfit. Act confidently enough and people will think you know what you're doing even if you have no idea what's happening in your life. Walk confidently enough when crossing the road and cars will stop for you (although, you know, make sure to look both ways and try your best to minimise the chances of being run over by a car - safety first). Confidence is always attractive and even if you feel like your life is crashing down around you, you'll give off an appearance that you have your shit together.</li>
<li><b>Stop telling everyone everything.</b> As much as they say 'a problem shared is a problem halved', talking to too many people about the same problems over and over again sometimes only drags out the issue and ends up with too many people having too many opinions.</li>
<li><b>Time heals most wounds.</b> Sometimes you feel like the world is ending and you can't do anything about it. Just have faith and give yourself time. Over time, some things will matter less and the pain you feel will slowly start to go away.</li>
<li><b>Look at the bigger picture.</b> Sure some problems are a big deal, but now that I look back at my year, there were so many wasted tears on my part. I wasted so much of my time and energy on problems that don't even matter now but seemed like such a major issue at the time. "Think twice before you give a fuck".</li>
<li><b>Who cares about rumours. </b>Rumours will fly this way and that way, but honestly, who cares? Any of your close friends should know and care about you well enough to not listen to any dumb rumours about you, and anyone else who chooses to listen to and spread those dumb rumours, they're not worth your time. It's always hard to stop caring but STOP CARING ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK. </li>
<li><b>Sleep sleep sleep.</b> I don't know about anyone else, but I really don't function well with lack of sleep. And as great as caffeine is at keeping me just about awake, I'm grouchy, moody and angsty without getting enough sleep. Sleep is NOT for the weak. I'm happier with more sleep, more pleasant for others to be around and more productive.</li>
<li><b>Don't force friendships.</b> Follow your gut instinct. You just don't necessarily click with some people and that's okay. Don't try and force yourself to be friends with people when it just doesn't feel natural.</li>
<li><b>You can't stop other people getting hurt.</b> You can't try and solve everything. You can only give them advice if they ask and be there for them to help pick up the pieces after.</li>
<li><b>Make more friends with girls.</b> For some reason, most of my friends have turned out to be guys and when they're in relationships/getting into relationships, boys just bring hassle. Rumours fly, girlfriends get weary, and everything just ends up being a mess.</li>
<li><b>Don't EVER meddle in someone else's relationships.</b> Even if you had all the best intentions, wires get crossed and you end up getting too involved and things get awkward when you feel like you have to take sides and you're good friends with both sides of the couple.</li>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">My friends and I (#squad) treated ourselves to a well deserved post-exams trip to Morocco. To be honest, we could have probably made the holiday a lot more jam packed with touristy things but the heat was getting to us (you'll hear me complain more about that later) and was still catching up on sleep from the aftermath of exams. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As per usual, I've made a post-holiday summary of the trip for your benefit :-).</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also a photo diary is coming up soon so stay tuned for that! (link <a href="http://imblanc.blogspot.com/2016/06/travel-marrakech-photo-diary.html">HERE</a>)</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I am warning you now, DON'T EVER GO TO MARRAKECH IN THE SUMMER (don't say I didn't warn you). The temperature during our stay (5-9 June) was probably on average around 40<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-size: 16px; line-height: 19.2px;">°</span>C and the air was so dry. The lack of humidity did help make the heat feel more bearable, but also left me with a very dry, sore throat at the end of the trip which no amounts of water could remedy. The city also lacks air conditioning so don't hope to rely on the AC either.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">(in Morocco) a large traditional house built around a central courtyard, often converted into a hotel.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Riad Calista</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I found Riad Calista on Alpharooms and we were definitely happy with our choice when we arrived there. This riad actually looked very similar to the photos online and the owner was very friendly and helpful. It wasn't the fanciest of places I've stayed at but felt very homey (kinda like a cross between a hotel and an Airbnb). The distance from the city centre wasn't too bad (20 minutes on foot) - could've been better but the quietness of being not too close the busy roads was quite nice as well. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 20px;">Most places were in walking distance and we spent 50 mins walking on one of the cooler days (cooler still being 36</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; line-height: 19.2px;">°</span>C) but the taxis are fairly cheap as well. Just make sure to settle the fare of the ride before you get in the taxi and my friends researched that you shouldn't agree to be charged more than 50 Dirhams (~£3.60) maximum per ride. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>PLACES MENTIONED</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Bahia Palace</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The palace grounds are so pretty and there's plenty of shade to take a break in, which is always a plus. Honestly, there's not much else to say other than it's a beautiful palace where you can take great photos (upcoming in my <a href="http://imblanc.blogspot.com/2016/06/travel-marrakech-photo-diary.html">next blog post</a>!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Admission fee: 10 Dirhams (~£0.70)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Opening hours: </span><span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;">8.30-11.45AM / 2.30-5.45PM Sat-Thurs</span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">8.30-11.30AM / 3-5.45PM Fri</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Jardin Majorelle</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Jardin Majorelle was co-owned by Yves-Saint Laurent and his ashes were supposedly scattered across the garden, and you can go see the YSL memorial at the heart of the garden also. In 2010, the street in front of Jardin Majorelle was renamed in memory of YSL to Rue Yves Saint Laurent. Again, the garden is very beautiful and incredibly photogenic with plenty of cacti and greenery to give you a break from the desert land.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Opening hours: 1 Oct - 30 Apr / 8AM-5:30PM</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">1 May - 30 Sep / 8AM-6PM</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">The month of Ramadan / 9AM-5PM</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Entrance fee: entry to garden 70 Dhs (~£5) (half price if you show student ID)</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Ourika Valley</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">One thing I definitely wanted to do on this trip was to go hiking, and a couple of the others were determined to go camel riding. We had originally booked a last minute tour on Viator.com (which I don't recommend at all) but the tour fell through (but my friends who went to Marrakech before us do advise TripAdvisor). Fortunately, the owner of the riad we were staying at had a couple of tour options available to us, and conveniently at the cheapest prices I'd seen (~250 Dhs / ~£18). So we picked the trip to the closest village (around 1-2 hour car ride away from the city) and they had the option of camel riding for 30 minutes for an additional 100 Dhs (~£7.30). </span><br />
Before we went hiking, we stopped off at a village in the mountains where we were given a tour and they served us mint tea (the bomb dot com) and bread to dip in fresh honey, butter or Argan oil. They then showed us how the Argan oil was made and offered us a selection of products to buy. Apparently any Argan oil sold in Marrakech was the pure oil made from the villages mixed with some olive oil. I don't know how true that is but I got a bottle of pure Argan oil anyway at less than half the price it would have been in the UK!<br />
Hiking wise, any trainers are a sufficient footwear option as long as they have enough grip and I would advise you take a lot of water.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Ben Youssef Madrasa</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This place was originally a university but the architecture is incredible. Again, great for photos and many shaded parts also to take refuge from the hot damn sun.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Entrance fee: 50 Dhs (~£3.60)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Opening hours: 9AM-6PM all day every day</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Marrakech Museum</u></b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This museum is right next to the Ben Youssef Madrasa and, to be honest, the content of the museum isn't that impressive. But, the architecture of the buildings themselves is great again, and there's this one room the looks like it has a natural sepia filter over it because of the canvas covering the ceiling where the natural light comes in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Entrance fee: 50 Dhs (~£3.60)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Opening hours: 9AM - 6:30PM</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Jemaa El-Fna</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This market place is probably the ultimate tourist attraction of Marrakech. There are so many streets to explore filled with Moroccan tea sets, genie pants and leather backpacks. Definitely don't forget to haggle with the stall owners and the best way to haggle, I've found, is to just walk away and turn back around when they've shouted out a price low enough.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">There are snake charmers and monkeys around the main square, but I was told by my friend not to take photos or videos of them because the snake/monkey owners will try to charge you for taking photos/footage. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"><b>MISCELLANEOUS</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you're oriental Asian, be prepared to have a lot of mildly racist words shouted at you ("arigatou" and "konnichiwa" probably being the most common). I don't know if this is necessarily the case if you travel with a more diverse group but we were all oriental Asians and got very bored of being asked if we were Japanese by the end of the trip. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you go to Marrakech during Ramadan, most tourist attraction spots should be open as usual and the only things that are really closed are restaurants and shops for the locals and Jemaa El-Fna closes later than usual (I don't know how late the food stalls open but we made sure to get there after sun down). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">They say it's best to dress more modestly so as to avoid harassment (i.e. no exposed shoulders and bottoms below knee length for girls, and guys can wear sleeveless tops and short that reach just above the knees). I wore mostly culottes on the trip but, honestly, it didn't seem to make too much of a difference the day I wore shorts. If you're going in an all girls group though, I would probably stick to the dress code just to be on the safer side.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Hope this was helpful for anyone who plans on going to Marrakech in the future!</span><br />

It's back to school season y'all and I'm always on the hunt for the perfect backpack. Most of you have probably already started school, but hopefully this will still help those who haven't found your ideal backpack yet (or maybe you just want more bags - no harm in feeding your bag addiction). Even if you're no longer in school or university, it's always a good idea to have at least one backpack in your wardrobe.<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
My perfect university backpack criteria:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>affordable</u></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>durable</u></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>spacious enough/ the right shape to fit my laptop and folders</u> - that means I'm focusing more on rectangular backpacks and mostly staying away from bags with drawstrings</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>water resistant</u> - you never know when you're going to be caught in the rain in London without an umbrella</li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>versatile enough to suit any outfit</u></li>
<li style="text-align: left;"><u>has at least one interior or exterior pocket</u> - for all the little things I carry around</li>
</ul>
As you can probably see, I'm a fan of black bags - they're the safest colour that won't clash with anything you're wearing.Faux leather also does the trick most of the time in protecting my notes from the rain (it's the worst having all those notes you spent hours on ruined by rainwater). Oh and a quick tip when looking for backpacks: it's always worth looking at the men's section - they tend to be bigger and simpler design wise as well. I find that Asos has the best selection and variety of backpacks, and the free shipping is always a bonus.</div>

This was my last outfit of summer 2015 (sob sob), and I kept it easy breezy with double denim. The denim shorts and jacket is one of my favourite combos and so easy to play around with. This particular outfit was tailored for a friend's late birthday party in the evening (think casual drinks, good music and catching up with friends), so I dressed up the double denim with a black, off the shoulder crop top, showing off a bit of skin and the best parts of a lace bra. </div>

My friend Christy and I went on a 7 day summer holiday to Bangkok last month and it was so good to get some sunshine after having weeks of exams at uni. This trip definitely wasn't as touristy as my last <a href="http://imblanc.blogspot.co.uk/search/label/seoul">Seoul holiday</a> but focused more on having a relaxing time shopping, and of course enjoying the nightlife. So please excuse the lack of info on tourist locations, and a lack of footage capturing all the places that we went to, but I do have some good recommendations for clubbing.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">SHOPPING</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;"></span></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We primarily went to indoor shopping malls with good air conditioning (a must for the ridiculous hot and humid weather). I would have liked to also visit the Chatuchak market but we didn't have enough time to go (my cousin who goes on holiday to Thailand frequently recommends it though!).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Central Embassy</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This shopping mall is definitely more for those in a spending mood - it's filled primarily with designer labels and the only high street brand that I saw was Zara. They have a rooftop garden/bar which is cute and their top floor is filled with restaurants, my favourite definitely being Nara (online website link <a href="http://www.naracuisine.com/">HERE</a>). The lower ground holds the Eathai Food Court filled with both fresh fruits and hot meals. Thailand have the freshest coconuts you just can't get in the UK, so make sure to have at least one while you're there.</span><br />

<b><u>Central</u></b><br />
This department store connected to it so that you can transfer from Central Embassy to Central without leaving the buildings. They have a couple Thai designer labels that are fun to window shop, but I was a lot more interested in their supermarket on the lower ground floor <span style="font-family: inherit;">with adorable mini trolleys. The makeup section in the supermarket was great, stocking brands like Acnes and Wet 'n' Wild (both unavailable in the UK) at very affordable prices. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Terminal 21</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This shopping centre is interestingly designed as an airport with each floor themed as a different city around the world. The lower couple of floors have more well known high street brands (such as H&M) while the upper floors are filled with smaller independent stores. The shopping mall encompasses a range of products, from clothing to stationery and beauty products. The independent stores have a similar vibe to the shops in Dongdaemun (Seoul, Korea), all selling at fairly decent prices.</span><br />

<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">BARS & CLUBS</span></b><br />
<br />
You have to be careful not to end up at sleazy clubs in Bangkok, where the men all seem a bit too creepy. The clubs to definitely avoid are Shock39 and Infinity (both very sleazy and a bit sketchy). Ku De Ta is also one to avoid: the club itself was very nice but is mostly filled with middle aged men in suits wanting to blow off steam after work, accompanied by younger women. Another point to make is that weirdly, on the Saturday that we were there, all the clubs closed fairly early and it seemed to be the equivalent of a Sunday night in London.<br />
<b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Octave Rooftop Bar & Lounge</u></b></span><br />
This was the rooftop bar at our hotel that we were staying at (Marriott Hotel Sukhumvit) and it was one of our favourite places to go to. They have two floors at the top of the hotel: the lower floor was more for dining and the upper floor was more of a bar vibe. The music on the top floor was great and the view was to die for. I just felt incredibly happy taking in the breathtaking view.<br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u>Demo</u></b><br />
This club has a warehouse feel with great house music with a good bass. The atmosphere at Demo wasn't the best - depending on the time and day, it can feel slightly dead and people aren't as willing to dance but more or less stand around tables to drink most of the time. On the other hand the music makes up for it completely enough for us to go to Demo more than once.<br />
If it's raining on the night, make sure to take an umbrella with you if you don't want to get soaked because you have to walk at least a few hundred metres to get a taxi since they can't pull up right outside the club. They do offer an umbrellas to borrow but the queue for using them tend to be quite long.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">More info <a href="http://www.bangkok.com/magazine/demo-nightclub.htm">HERE</a></span><br />
<br />
<b><u>Route 66</u></b><br />
Route 66 has an entrance fee, but they give you coupons of the same value in return to spend on drinks. The vibe at this club is a lot better than Demo, and they play more mainstream hip hop, pop and R'n'B music. The people here were more open to dancing and seemed more friendly also: if you sit in the seating area outside, you are most likely going to be approached by someone. For girls, you're also likely to be offered a drink by a guy. Overall, the atmosphere is really good and if, for some bizarre reason, you don't enjoy Route 66, it's on the Royal City Avenue (RCA) which has plenty of other clubs to choose from.<br />

<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Museum of Contemporary Art (MOCA)</u></b><br />
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The admissions fee to this gallery was really cheap and is one of my favourite galleries I've been to. The white walls was definitely my aesthetics and fit the modern theme. The artwork isn't overly complicated and should be enjoyable for all (whether you're really into art or not) and a small thing that Christy and I really enjoyed was that all the artwork had titles that were straight to the point.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">From my memory, the first few floors were purely Thai artists with the top floors consisting of only foreign art. I have to say, we both enjoyed the Thai art a lot more.</span><br />

<div>
<b><u>Boat Trip</u></b></div>
<div>
We took a boat trip to the Peninsula Hotel. To be honest I can't give you too much information about the details of the boat trip because I didn't organise it. But I do know that we started at the Chao Phraya Pier and <a href="http://www.bangkok.com/attraction-waterway/chao-phraya-river-chao-phraya-river-pier-guide.htm">this website</a> seems to have more details on available boat rides. We took the shortest trip, taking roughly 20 minutes to reach the Peninsula Hotel, but there are longer boat rides also. I don't think you need to book in advance (we didn't) and there are boats available fairly frequently.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Buddhist Temples</u></b><br />
I didn't get a chance to visit the Grand Palace but I did visit a local temple. I personally really enjoy going to temples to spend a couple minutes being peaceful so going to a temple was a must for me, especially since they're harder to find in Europe than in Asia. If you are wanting some peace and quite then I would recommend a local temple over a larger and grander temple that's likely to be filled with tourists. I called the reception from my hotel room and they knew of the most local temples within walking distance which was perfect.</div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">TRANSPORT</span></b><br />
<br />
<br />
<div>
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Skytrain (BTS)</span></u></b></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The skytrain has only 2 lines and is really easy to navigate around. You can buy a rabbit card (same concept as the Oyster card in London) to top up so you don't have to keep buying single tickets if you're in Bangkok for a while. The BTS fares are really cheap and an easy mode of transport.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">More info <a href="http://www.bangkok.com/information-travel-around/bts.htm">HERE</a></span></div>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<b><u>Taxi</u></b><br />
Taxis are also a cheap way to travel around Bangkok to areas that you can't get to by BTS. Always make sure to ask to go by meter and not a set price because taxi drivers will definitely try to take advantage of tourists and up the prices. Also keep in mind that the traffic in Bangkok is absolutely awful at times. If you're worried about getting in a shady taxi by yourself, it's always best to ask the hotel receptionists to get you a taxi or any other officials of other buildings (such as the guard outside the art gallery that we went to).<br />

This time last year, <a href="http://imblanc.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/review-nivea-daily-essentials-light.html">I reviewed the Nivea Daily Essentials Light Moisturising Day Cream</a>, and to summarise, it did not suit my skin type at all. For those who don't know, my skin type is combination with minor acne break outs, and I found the moisturiser to be too oily.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This time around, I picked up the oil free version made for oily to combination skin, which was 100% a better fit for my skin type.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis-zetl9pklXsKLVwMo2i4K4OFhPGNdLy-8KtaTovusnH7qPbwg-3CDHgVkzCSU0w4dQfvFfSbzko6p2_SWRbLwdMvF9nVSPtJw7AQyD7Br6BC-X6mBtqmOLMwgggV0so5eVlaRjKc612c/s1600/SAM_3695.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEis-zetl9pklXsKLVwMo2i4K4OFhPGNdLy-8KtaTovusnH7qPbwg-3CDHgVkzCSU0w4dQfvFfSbzko6p2_SWRbLwdMvF9nVSPtJw7AQyD7Br6BC-X6mBtqmOLMwgggV0so5eVlaRjKc612c/s640/SAM_3695.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvyiJ6Pj-kuughOZxG08HsVpTgMdUfXBP0_9n8fR0QzRGg9b87nmDKHewWDnMNpuqfZy2PgayriGGXMZBbrV5XNe6Y95S2EgOnulEPCJvrkz9MnAqtKk9EN9HRyaM9VOYBs0A7Nd8Ijkso/s1600/SAM_3693.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvyiJ6Pj-kuughOZxG08HsVpTgMdUfXBP0_9n8fR0QzRGg9b87nmDKHewWDnMNpuqfZy2PgayriGGXMZBbrV5XNe6Y95S2EgOnulEPCJvrkz9MnAqtKk9EN9HRyaM9VOYBs0A7Nd8Ijkso/s640/SAM_3693.JPG" width="640" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My t-zone tends to get oily throughout the day, and I found that this moisturiser minimised that. I'm not saying that I don't have to use oil blotting sheets every now and again, but the Oil Free Moisturising Day Cream has definitely reduced shine compared to other moisturisers I've used in the past. It even held well on my holiday in Thailand against the ridiculous humidity and heat.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It has a very light, typical Nivea scent which isn't too offensive and leaves the skin feeling very smooth. As with the previous Nivea moisturiser that I reviewed, I am very fond of the packaging - very simple and clean (and it helps that green is my favourite colour) - and although this tube only contains 50ml, a little of this product goes a long way. I use a pea size amount twice a day and have been using this product for a couple months with still plenty left in the tube. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I would recommend this moisturiser for anyone with oily/combination skin, and at only £3.99, it's definitely worth a try.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I finally got around to finishing editing this behind-the-scenes video for Carrie's photoshoot back in October (it actually only took a couple of hours to edit but my laptop broke down blah blah blah). This photoshoot was so long ago that I don't really remember much from it, apart from Mori and Rosie (the models/my friends) freezing to death and me panicking trying to both take behind the scenes footage and also photos for my instagram whilst trying to not get in the way.</div>

Carrie's uploaded a couple of the final shots <a href="http://07cwong.tumblr.com/post/99767409792">HERE</a>. <a href="http://07cwong.tumblr.com/post/99766907617">HERE</a> and <a href="http://07cwong.tumblr.com/post/99766807872">HERE</a> and also make sure to follow my instagram because I've uploaded a lot of photos from this shoot and I have more to come.<br />
We had another photoshoot last week so I have another behind the scenes video to edit, but I don't know when I'm going to get around to doing that seeing as how it took me months to finish this one and I have exams coming up (SOS).</div>

I'm so happy with my recent purchase from H&M: this super soft fuzzy cropped jumper. Yes, this jumper was on sale for only £5! After deliberating over whether to buy a size XS or S (which meant I tried on both a ridiculous number of times), I decided that an XS was too form fitting for my taste and I find that fuzzy jumpers that are too tight can unfortunately make you look bulky.</div>

I was planning on wearing it with a pair of black skinny jeans but unfortunately, none of my jeans fit at the moment (I'm blaming the Freshers' 15), so I settled for a plaid skirt instead, which actually turned out to be more spring-appropriate with the base colour being yellow.<br />

I hope y'all are having a great Easter break (hopefully not as revision-filled as mine) and I don't know when my next blog post will be, but until then, feel free to follow me on other social platforms that I tend to keep more upadated.</div>

Same as last year, I've made another calendar for 2015. The format is pretty much exactly the same: plain and simple with the dates of full moons marked. You can download it <a href="http://www.filedropper.com/calendar2015_1">HERE</a> for free. All you have to do is download it and print it off and you can stick it up on your wall or staple them together etc.</div>

Enjoy!</div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">This outfit was from a while ago when
the temperature was in the low 20s (Celsius, not Farenheit) – weirdly warm for
the end of October, so I thought I better post it before the weather gets any
colder in London and this outfit becomes completely irrelevant.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Normally, babydoll dresses aren’t
that flattering on me and too girly for my taste, but this one was a winner
with the cut back (which isn’t too low, so no worrying about bra straps
showing) and being the perfect length, which is rare to find for my height. Oh,
and did I mention I bought it in the sale for £5!</span></div>

a more cropped jacket but it was the best option I had.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I might be a bit late on the back to school posts but in my defence, I haven't started university yet. These were my wardrobe essentials when I went to school and you'll probably see comfort was a big factor in deciding what to wear.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Graphic Tees</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They're more interesting than a plain t-shirt but are just as easy to pair in outfits. Not to mention that graphic tees are super comfortable and I have probably rolled out of bed in them and gone straight to school on super lazy days or if I'm in a rush. Uniqlo's men's section have a great selection of tees (link <a href="http://www.uniqlo.com/uk/store/clothing/uq/ut/all-ut/#men">HERE</a>) that are on sale every summer and is where the majority of my graphic tee collection is from.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Leggings</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm not a major fan of leggings but you can't deny that they are comfortable as hell. Pair them with an oversized tee or jumper and you're set for a casual school day. The above pair are one of my aunt's designs and I like how they have a bit of an edge with faux leather knee pads and zip detailing on the side. I also used to wear printed leggings to make an outfit more interesting, paired with a more simpler top.</div>

<b><u>Zipped Hoodie</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again, ultimate comfort. Hoodies are also a great for layering in autumn/winter and the hood is practical for when it starts raining (which is always if you live in London). It's hard to not veer towards looking like a slob when you wear a hoodie but I think as long as you stay away from tracksuits, you should be okay. This one is my school leavers' hoodie but you can find them anywhere from Primark to American Apparel.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Jacket</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I think it's essential that you find a jacket that can be paired with anything and everything and you won't get bored of. For me, it's an oversized denim jacket and I find that even if you dress like a slob, an oversized denim jacket always makes you look cooler. Also it works great throughout the whole year. You could also try a bomber jacket, which is meant to be big for this season.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Oversized Jumper</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perfect for the autumn/winter season, oversized jumpers are super comfortable and keep you warm. The majority of my school outfits in A/W was probably variations of the oversized jumper + leggings combo.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Shoes</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cannot stress enough, out of everything I've mentioned, shoes worn to school should be the most comfortable. They can affect your posture and I don't have time to be worrying about my feet hurting when I'm walking to and from school and running to classes. The pair on the left are my most worn shoes (not only in school) because , on top of being comfortable, they go with everything. Trainers are also a good option, especially if you find yourself running for buses a lot.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Bag</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I went through a variety of bags throughout my school years but I always returned to a backpack. On some days during secondary school, I used carry a ridiculous number of heavy textbooks, so side/shoulder bags would be too uncomfortable. I've had to throw away my last backpack because it was so tattered, but it was similar to the Asos one on the right. The faux black leather backpack went well with and edged out any school outfit, also transitioning well into any after school plans I might have had. I can vouch for Kipling bags being super durable (I've had this bag for over 7 years and only the only problem was the velcro becoming less efficient) and I used to wear the red backpack if I felt my outfit was too monochromatic or boring.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Everyone's school wardrobe essentials are bound to be different, but I hope I've given you some ideas on dressing for comfort at school without being to slobby. Good luck at school!</div>

Finally, I've finished the last vlog of Seoul (see first vlog <a href="http://imblanc.blogspot.com/2014/08/travel-seoul-week-1-video-diary.html">HERE</a>). I tried a new editing programme so it took me a while to get my head around how to use it but I got there! So enjoy and check below for description on all the places in the vlog.</div>

<b><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">PLACES MENTIONED</span></b><br />
<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;"></span></u></b><br />
<a name='more'></a><b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></u></b><b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Sinchon Water Gun Festival</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We actually only passed by this festival but it looked really cool Seriously, if I was there with more friends then I would have definitely joined in and it looked reallywell organised as well with places to store your belongings so that they stay dry, and apparently K-pop star Suzy from Miss A was there for a day as well. So if you're ever in Seoul in the summer, it's worth searching any festivals going on.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><u>Namdaemun Market</u></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">We were originally here so that Carrie could buy a cheap carry on suitcase. They sell pretty much everything from clothes to homeware, all at affordable prices. To be honest, there wasn't a lot of stuff that I would actually buy but it's definitely worth just taking a look around. And it's fairly close to Myeongdong as well (roughly a 15 minute walk).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">More info <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SH/SH_EN_7_2.jsp?cid=273760">HERE</a></span><br />
<br />
<b><u>Puppy Caf</u></b><b style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><u>é</u></b><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> Literally a caf</span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é filled with dogs, need I say more. It was </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">₩8000 (~$8/£4.60) for a drink</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> and unlimited time with the dogs. I prefer the puppy </span>caf<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é a lot more than the cat </span>caf<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é because the dogs actually interact with you more. They provide you with a blanket to cover your legs when you sit on the floor (which is great if you're wearing a skirt or dress, and it does get a bit chilly because of the AC) and the smaller dogs tend to come and sit on your lap and doze off. There is also a seating area around the edge of the </span>caf<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é. I advise you go early because the caf</span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é</span><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"> filled up really quickly. The one that we went to was in Myeongdong, but I think there's also one in Hongdae you can try looking up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">Address: 4th Floor, </span><span style="background-color: white; font-weight: inherit; line-height: 20px; text-align: start;">22-2 Chungmuro 1(il)-ga, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Jung-gu, Seoul, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">South Korea </span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Opening Hours 13:30-21:30</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><b><u>Seoul N Tower (Namsan Tower)</u></b></span></span></div>
</div>
This is a major tourist attraction sight that everyone should go visit if you're ever in Seoul. The view is absolutely incredible and breathtaking. If you're willing to spend a fair amount of money, there's also a revolving restaurant higher up in the tower which would actually be amazing if you're celebrating a special occasion (or just wanted to treat yourself). We ate at 'The Best Burger In Seoul', which was cheapest of the restaurants at the tower and it wasn't actually too bad.<br />
<br />
We went up to watch the sunset and left just after it got dark. I would say make sure the weather isn't rainy or foggy and try to avoid going too late at night because there tends to be a super long queue for the cable car. I think it's also worth walking down, rather than taking the cable car, if the weather's nice enough (which was not an option for us in the boiling heat).<br />
<br />
The cable car boarding place is really close to Myeongdong station (roughly 10 minute walk) and I found <a href="http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/our-adventure-at-seoul-tower/">this blog post</a> had really useful directions.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Online website <a href="http://www.nseoultower.co.kr/eng/index.asp">HERE</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Cable car adult ticket prices: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">₩8500 return / </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">₩6000 one way</span></span><br />
<br />
<b><u>Bukchon Hanok Village</u></b><br />
Another big tourist attraction site, Bukchon Hanok Village is filled with very traditional houses. Going early may save you from having large groups of tourists ruin every photo you take but Carrie and I were both super tired that day.<br />
We explored more of the area near the village and it was filled with small boutiques, art galleries and unique arts and crafts.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">More info <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=561382">HERE</a></span><br />
<br />
<b><u>Ssamziegil</u></b><br />
This complex has lots of small shops selling souvenirs, hand crafted goods, clothes etc. and also a couple of restaurants, caf<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">é</span>s and food stalls. The complex is actually one big spiral so it's easy to work your way to the top.<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Opening hours: 10:00 - 20:30</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: x-small;">Address: <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">38 Gwanhun-dong, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">Jongno-gu, Seoul, </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">South Korea</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;"><b><u>Bukhansan Mountain</u></b></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">Since there are no mountains in England, Carrie and I really wanted to go hiking in Seoul. On the most part, it was really satisfying to reach the top and take in the amazing view. BUT there were times when I felt like I was going to die (I'm probably one of the unfittest and least sporty people you will find)</span></span></span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">, especially on the way down when my legs felt like jelly</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"><span style="line-height: 18px;">. We reached a peak in probably about 3 hours or less. We really didn't need any specialist equipment <span style="font-size: x-small;">(which we didn't have anyway, because who's got space for hiking boots in their suitcase)</span>, but I would recommend bringing lot of water or lots of change to buy water at least, and towel because it gets </span></span><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: start;">unpleasantly</span><span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"> sweaty. There were also some small stalls selling kimbap on our way to the mountain, which I recommend buying and saving to eat when you reach the peak, because you're probably going to get hungry. </span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit; text-align: start;"><span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></span></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">We did have a course in mind that we wanted to take, but we ended up buying a map for </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">₩2000 (~$2/£1.20)</span><span style="line-height: 18px;"> at the entrance and winging it as we went along. We aimed for the lowest peak in the shortest time (the shorter the route, the harder it is) and tried to avoid any routes that were marked for expert hikers. I'd advise going back down the way you came up, because surprisingly, going down is harder and scarier as you're more likely to slip </span><span style="line-height: 18px;">(gravity is definitely NOT on your side)</span><span style="line-height: 18px;">. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">There are also temples you can visit in the mountains and I would really recommend hiking if you're in Seoul for over a week, even if you're not athletic or sporty, because the view at the top is breathtaking and the temples are gorgeous. Even if you don't reach the top, it's nice to get out of the city and surround yourself with nature and calmness. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="line-height: 18px;">It took us about an hour to get there via underground, getting off at Gupabal station, then got a bus, which dropped us off roughly a 10 minute walk away from the entrance. If you don't know the way to the national park entrance from the bus stop, there's probably going to be groups of hikers that you can follow. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Remicone</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18px;">Remicone sell probably the coolest looking ice creams and the interior was so on point and completely my style. I've heard a lot of people haven't liked the ice cream but I think it might have been because the ice cream tasted like mascarpone rather than regular cream. I had a taste of Carrie's ice cream called 'Thunderbomb' and personally, I loved it but I will say it's on the pricier side.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
This place was a two minute walk from Remicone, just off Garosugil. The base of the Acai bowl are acai berries (quelle surprise) and topped with a variety of fruits, making it super healthy. It's inevitably not cheap and Carrie seemed to really enjoy it.</div>

<b><u>Chunggyecheon Stream</u></b><br />
We went really early in the morning to avoid the crowds because during the summer (and probably most of the year actually) there are so many people playing in the stream or sitting by it. The water is very clear and it's nice to walk along the stream and watch the fish swim around.<br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Closest station: Dongdaemun station exit 7 or 8</span><br />
<br />
<b><u>Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)</u></b><br />
The exterior was really cool (although personally not my cup of tea) and inside, there were loads of exhibitions which we didn't go to because you had to pay for most of them. To be honest, I don't know a whole lot about this place and we only really went because Carrie wanted to take some photos of the buildings. But you can find more info on it <a href="http://english.visitkorea.or.kr/enu/SI/SI_EN_3_1_1_1.jsp?cid=1907103">HERE</a>.<br />
<br />
<b><u>National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art (MMCA)</u></b><br />
This place had really cool exhibitions. We went primarily to see Do Ho Suh's installation called 'Home within Home' which was amazing. It was a model of his two homes made out of silk and the detailed stitching was incredible. We walked around afterwards to look at other art pieces and there were quite a few videos which were interesting, and although these exhibitions may be over by the time you get around to going, the museum seemed very cool and definitely worth checking out.<br />

I had to layer this sheer maxi dress over some plain black crop top and shorts because I didn't bring a slip dress with me on holiday, but I think I managed to make it work. The dress is the perfect length, which is rare considering how short I am, and I absolutely love it. It's pretty unique and I'm so glad I bought it in Korea.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I love this bag and has been my go-to bag last month. In Seoul, I used it more as a clutch, but for some reason, I think it looks better when worn with a strap in London. Sometimes I use the plain black side instead if I feel like the evil eye print clashes too much with my outfit, so it's the perfect multifunctional bag. Also, I love any bag with built in pockets and this bag has 5 separate pockets/compartments, which makes finding things in my bag a lot easier.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Also a plus is that I paid less than £6 for this bag in a closing down sale in Myeongdong.</span></div>

Admittedly, these aren't the most comfortable pair of jeans and need to be worn in. BUT to me, they're a better version of the boyfriend jeans, so more high waisted and flattering. They're not overly distressed and shredded, and the best part is that I got them in the sale for about £5. I wear them with a crop top and mostly cuffed with ankle boots.<br />

I've wanted these shorts since H&M first brought them out but I got lucky enough and managed to find them in the sale section in Seoul! I changed into these as soon as I bought them because they were so light and breezy and comfortable - all a must for hot and humid weather in Seoul. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The only problem I have with them is that they look a lot like nightwear so they're hard to style. I tied a shirt around my waist to only have a peek of the lace showing through, and also to cover my stomach because the top was a bit too cropped. The weather to wear them in London has unfortunately passed so I've given up on styling them and I'm wearing them as PJs at the moment.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">This outfit is probably the closest I'll get to dressing like someone who actually lives in Seoul. I found that a lot of people in Seoul wear a shirt+trousers+clutch: very classy but somehow they made it casual as well. Personally I couldn't stand the heat in trousers, so I went for these shorts I picked up at a store in Gwanghwamun station.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">You won't even believe how much like hell it was to edit this video. I'm going to have to move on from Windows Live Movie Maker at some point in the future and actually purchase a better editing software. Anyhow, I've finally managed to finish week 1 of my Seoul travel diaries, but week 2 may take longer to edit and upload. It took a hell of a long time to get this post together and find all the places and links, but I hope it helps someone out or inspires anyone to go visit Seoul.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The easiest way to get home from the airport is probably via taxi, but the cheapest way is probably by taking the Airport Railroad (the 'all-stop' train is cheaper than the express train).There should be signs all over the airport directing you to the Airport Railroad.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Out of all the palaces in Seoul, this is probably the most popular one. I highly recommend you take some water with you if you go on a sunny day because there's definitely no air-conditioning and I felt like I was completely melting.</span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Rooftop Garden</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unlike London, Seoul doesn't have a lot of parks and greenery, but there are a couple of rooftop gardens. This one was quite small in Myeongdong (명동) but you can probably find better ones if you search around on google.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">A cat caf<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">é</span> is literally a caf<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">é</span> filled with cats. You pay <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">₩8000 (~$8/£4.60) for a drink and unlimited play time with the kitties. This particular one was in Myeongdong (명동) and there's always a cat mascot out in the main shopping street, so it's hard to miss.</span></span></div>

<b><u><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ihwa Mural Village (이화 벽화마을)</span></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">You have to hike up a pretty steep hill to get to this place but it was definitely worth it. There are lots of amazing paintings on the walls around this village.</span></div>

You can choose from a couple of different base drinks and there are about 5 different flavoured macarons with a scoop of ice cream and chocolate drizzled on top. Oh, and there's a layer of cereal between the ice cream and the drink, which, believe it or not, actually made the drink just that much better.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Stylenanda is pretty pricey for my budget, but it was worth going to have a look around and try on all the makeup testers and Jeffrey Campbell shoes. The biggest Stylenanda is in Hongdae, but make sure you look it up on a map, because it's pretty hard to find otherwise.</span></div>

The vodka drinks are my personal favourites, and actually have a decent amount of alcohol in them. It's considered a 'street bar' but there's also a couple of seats inside if you want to sit down (and, in our case, avoid the rain).</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Gangnam tends to be pricier than areas such as Hongdae, so if you're short on cash, I wouldn't recommend this shopping street. Personally, Garosugil wasn't my cup of tea but my friend desperately wanted to go so I obliged.</div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">An Italian </span>restaurant<span style="font-family: inherit;"> we had late lunch at on Garosugil. The prices were more expensive than other places we had eaten at before, but still pretty similar to restaurant prices in London, with both our dishes costing just under £10. We luckily got to sit by a window and watch shoppers walk by and tried to spot if it was raining or not by seeing if passers-by were using umbrellas.</span></div>

Softree is famous for their ice cream with honeycomb on top (which is apparently only flavoured wax but either way it tastes fab). I've seen countless stores, though, that also sell honeycomb ice cream but I believe Softree are meant to be the original. The ice cream is really creamy, similar to Cornish ice cream, and at first, I wasn't too into it but I've actually started to crave the honeycomb ice cream more and more. The honeycomb ice cream is <span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">₩4800 </span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">(~$4.80/</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">£2.80), but they also have other flavours as well. They have Softree everywhere (including Hongdae), but the one we went to was just off Garosugil.</span></div>

<b><u>Thank You Mom Chicken (땡큐맘치킨)</u></b><br />
If you're ever in Korea, you definitely need to try out KFC: Korean Fried Chicken. We found a chicken delivery service online which seemed to have good reviews. We got their original and sweet chili chicken, which were apparently their top sellers, and I definitely recommend them. They gave us free sides and drinks and were one of the cheapest we found.<br />
