Happy 추석!

Wheeee it's 추석 (Chuseok) in Korea from tomorrow (ah, it's already tomorrow haha I meant Wednesday aka today) till Friday so there's no school! Public holiday~~

Happy 中秋节 everywhere else, especially back home hehe


I only have classes Tuesday onwards so this week I only have one day of school. Plus my afternoon class got cancelled whoop whoop so I ended at 12.30pm today haha.

Since class ended that early, I went to a typography exhibition with Yeesee and her two schoolmates! They had to visit the exhibition for school. I was just tagging along really, trying to be all cultured and everything looking at the typography work. It's pretty cool.

It's the International Typography Biennale called Typojanchi. The exhibition is free and it's inside the historic Seoul Station (old train station) which has since been turned into an exhibition hall! Previously when I visited Seoul and passed by the station, it was under renovation/refurbishment. Anyway they refurbished it really well, and each room has a photo of what it used to be in the past and what it is now - I think they did a great job preserving the place.

Also, Running Man was once played inside here ahahaha I can still remember who the guests were - it was a hip hop episode and Yoon Mirae and Tiger JK were in it. Haha!


Anyway, here are some photos from the exhibition today! Taken and edited on my iPhone haha

This one was about how the blank ink changed and separated thus being colourful. My first thought was chromatography back in secondary school hahaha

Hehe I really like this one, the quotes are kinda motivational and super similar to those fitness ones seen on instagram ahaha. And if my memory doesn't fail me, these quotes were described to be "motivational and at the same time borderline angsty" (somewhere along those lines lol)

I really liked this room. It was clean, white and overall I felt extremely comfortable and at ease hahaha

My favourite exhibit hahaha

The last photo's a small part of a huge wall full of Google poems. If you know me, you'd know that I luvvvvvv Googling stuff hahaha. And now that I'm in Korea, my favourite thing to do after Googling is to Naver maps stuff (Naver is this Korean maps app) and it is super fun searching for the nearest Daiso, nearest noraebang etc.

Anyway, the exhibit's about "Google Poems", poems generated by the search engine's autocomplete suggestions - which actually yields some hilarious results. And the thing is, some of these poems make pretty good sense!! There's a blog Google Poetics where popular submissions are collected and collated. It's actually quite cool, because the thing about autocomplete is that is kinda says things people wish to say as it is based off previous searches.


Also, going out of Seoul this Thursday by train (whoop whoop I luv taking trains haha) to Daegu city!! Key's hometown. Omg maybe he'll be there. Haha kidding but I'm quite excited cos this is the first time I'm leaving Seoul (Jeju Island doesn't really count) by train and stuff. Will be back on Friday though. Heard there's nothing much to do in Daegu but since we're here we gotta go out and experience~


Omg I hope we get to climb a mountain in Daegu hahaha
