I’m of course far from being any breed of Irish (come on), but just the same, my housemate and I spent this afternoon going nosey over at Marronier Park in Hyehwa-dong to witness Saint Patrick’s Day celebration here in Seoul. I read about it in the papers during the week, and the news was just in time for my usual brew on weekend activities to try out. Woohoo!
Being the ultimate Winter Sonata freak that I am, I checked out this famous island in South Korea— Nami Sum (Nami Island), located in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province so I can catch the last day of the said island’s “Foreigner’s Free Festival”. The said event celebrated Nami Island’s third anniversary of independence. It declared its independence in March 2006 and renamed itself as Naminara Republic. Now, what’s cute about this half-moon shaped island is it has invented its own passport, currency, and stamps since then, as it now promotes itself to other countries. Talk about living up to its “independence”, eh?
It’s a bookstore to me when it could have been a salon for the more normal women. And it’s a book on the racks when it could have been a haircut--- you know this cliché on the usual state of women when they actually decide to go to a salon alone to even have their hair razored for hell’s sake? Ha-ha. There. I just wouldn’t want to outrightly admit— I am at it again. D-------d. I’m just surprised to find out that I tend to be geeky when I am on a big D. Boo-hoo.
