Buddha Statue in the sky…

Glad it is finally weekend, I wake very early today so I can cook rice for breakfast and as usual we went to gym today and now I figure out how did I got a back pain (on my lower spine) its by using abdominal machine probably I used the machine on wrong manner.
Anyway its Friday today so here’s a photo taken in Kandy, Sri Lanka when we visited the country one year and few months ago. The Buddha statue was located in top of a mountain and I just used 5x zoom to captured it.

Korea is celebrating Samiljeol today!

Today is holiday here in Korea to celebrate Samiljeol, it is the national holiday commemorating the March 1 Independence Movement of 1919 when Korea stood up against Japan’s colonial rule. 

So if you’re going to walk outside you can see Korean flag in every post along the street. Photo below was taken last night when we go to the gym.

As it is holiday today Pookie bear and I decided to go to the gym this afternoon but when we arrived in the gym it is closed. So no choice but to return home, along home I took another photo of Korean flag it is along our neighborhood. Two houses has a flag on their gates.,

What is Hanbok?

The photo below was taken when we visited the National Folk Museum of Korea.  The photo below was the traditional dress of Korean women , Hanbok (South Korea) or Chosŏn-ot (North Korea). It is often characterized by vibrant colors and simple lines without pockets. Although the term literally means “Korean clothing”, hanbok today often refers specifically to hanbok of Joseon Dynasty and is worn as semi-formal or formal wear during traditional festivals and celebrations. Modern hanbok does not exactly follow the actual style as worn in Joseon dynasty since it went through some major changes during the 20th century for practical reasons.

Airstar Avenue

Hi everyone  I just wake up, happy Tuesday but it seems I will just enjoy half of the day. Here/s my share of love for the day, these photos are taken last December 2010 in Incheon Airport, its Christmas so red and green colors are everywhere. There’s a lot of booth for picture taking and this one is one of the biggest near the train transfer

As you can see there’s a lot of teddy bears everywhere, the funny thing was there’s a Christmas tree with a lot of gifts below it and one of the gifts has a medium teddy bear setting at the top of the gifts. I’ve seen one toddler crying and trying to carry the teddy bear but it looks like the gift box attach to it is so heavy maybe there’s a stone so nobody will took it. The little boy keeps crying while trying to remove the bear, I saw here mother stopping him before we walk away and look for a restaurant to eat.

This is one of the small booth around the airport Pookie bear want to take photo of me here but  I insisted I want the bigger booth, because if I did it here no more photos to be taken. And if he wouldn’t take photo of me I am going to cry like the toddler. Lol!

Mellow Yellow in Sri Lanka

Hi guys I think I am getting old, when I wake up I thought it is Tuesday today so I posted a post for Ruby Tuesday but when I visit Mr. Linky it is not yet up, feeling confused I check my calendar. Darn, it is Monday today and Mellow Yellow day. Have you been in these kind of situation?

Anyway here’s my share of yellow, a little of bit of yellow (see the clothes of the devotees), this picture was taken in Kelaniya Raja Maha Vihara, Pethiyaboda, Sri Lanka. One of the most sacred worshipping places of the Buddhists in Sri Lanka since it is a site made hallowed by the visit of Lord Buddha. In the past Kelaniya itself was a large city and the Kelani Raja Maha Viharaya was one of the largest and one of the most beautiful temples of Sri Lanka.

Blogging here in Bangladesh

Hi folks, how’s life? How’s your Christmas? Blogging here from Bangladesh, currently we are here in Khulna in one of their top ends hotel. We are going to take a six hour bus later to Dhaka, so while killing our time just messing around inside the business center. It’s a long bus trip but we have no choice every hour counts, we can’t wait for another day just to take the local plane to Dhaka. So approximately we are going to arrive Dhaka early in the morning and then fly to Chittagong.

Just finished our advance dinner too, darn I am bloated and had a take out of my food too, maybe it will served as packed dinner tonight at the bus (lol). Wish me luck that I don’t pee on my pants, hahaha. I have a lot of stories to tell when we got home. Well more pictures too but of course it will be on my travel blog, right?

So as for now I am wishing you a Happy New Year!

The Yellow flower in North Korea

Happy Yellow Monday everyone this is a late post, dunno what makes me busy the whole afternoon. Lol, we wake up very early  to go to the bank and it is really foggy outside as if our place is in top of the mountain. After it back to sleep, ah yeah what makes me busy this afternoon is updating my online shop, you can pay a visit here
Anyway this is my share of yellow for today, I don’t know what kind of flower is this maybe  a relative of sun flower, there’s a lot of this in the plant box is Yanggakdo Hotel, North Korea. Pookie bear and I wander outside before retiring to bed for our first tour around Pyongyang. It is okay to wander outside the hotel as long you are not going to cross the boarder where the guards are, because if you do for sure you are going to sleep in jail.
