I just thought of joining Mellow Yellow Monday for the first time, I’ve seen this meme on some blogs along time ago but I don’t have enough time to join, and just today I’ve thought of joining when I visited Ateh Vernz blog and see her entry.
Anyway this photo was taken last August during our visit in China, this is inside the Forbidden City. This is the throne in the Hall of Central Harmony. It is one of the three halls of the Outer Court of the Forbidden City, in Beijing, China, along with the Hall of Supreme Harmony and Hall of Preserving Harmony. It is smaller than the other two halls, and is square in shape. It is used by the Emperor to prepare and rest before and during ceremonies.
Trivia:
Yellow is the color of the Emperor. Thus almost all roofs in the Forbidden City bear yellow glazed tiles. There are only two exceptions. The library at the Pavilion of Literary Profundity had black tiles because black was associated with water, and thus fire-prevention. Similarly, the Crown Prince’s residences have green tiles because green was associated with wood, and thus growth.
This is my first entry for Mellow Yellow Monday, to join just visit here:

After our lunch with Edward at the Korean Restaurant, hubby and I went to Sinchon to meet a certain guy named Scott, he has a computer for sale a Dell and a Toshiba but we are too late to have the Dell because it was already sold.
And now here’s my new own laptop TOSHIBA, we also went to Techno Mart in Sindorim to buy a router and UTP cable so we can both use the free internet in our hotel. I am very eager to have my own computer and I can’t wait for the Dell or HP notebook anymore which hubby wanted for me.
I have been busy since yesterday installing programs on my own laptop.

Yesterday after getting check-in to our hotel, we went to Wangsimi Station to eat. We let Edward choose a restaurant he like since we owe him by driving us here with his new car.
He brought us to a Korean restaurant where I got my Bugolgi Hot pot. Bulgogi is probably one of the top three most famous Korean foods that is loved by not only native Koreans but also by anybody and even by those who are trying out Korean food for the first time. It was a yummy one and freshly cooked, they’re going to serve it to you and you’re going to cook it on the gas stove in the center of your table.
Ingredients: thinnly sliced ribeye cuts (beef), carrots, onions, green onions, dried sweet potato noodles, shiitake mushrooms, enoki mushrooms, 2tbps soy sauce, 1tbsp sugar, 2tsp sesame oil, 2 tsp chicken base, 1 tbsp rice wine
This one is Bibimbap, my hubby and Edward had this as their order. Bibimbap is a popular Korean dish. The word literally means “mixed rice.” Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white rice topped with namul (sautéed and seasoned vegetables) and gochujang (chili pepper paste). A raw or fried egg and sliced meat (usually beef) are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. It can be served either cold or hot.
Vegetables commonly used in bibimbap include julienned cucumber, zucchini, mu (daikon), mushrooms, doraji (bellflower root), and gim, as well as spinach, soybean sprouts, and gosari (bracken fern stems). Dubu (tofu), either plain or sautéed, or a leaf of lettuce may be added, or chicken or seafood may be substituted for beef.For visual appeal, the vegetables are often placed so that adjacent colors complement each other.

We are now staying at Vision Hotel or Best Western Vision Hotel. This is one of the most popular hotels here in Seoul, South Korea. We book our hotel accommodations few days ago.
The hotel offers great rooms with a wide array of room facilities. The hotel is clean and good, it is also few minutes walk from and to Wangsimi station. Other than the bigger mall at the station there’s also a shopping mall just located at the back of the Hotel, where you can see a lot of restaurants to eat.
Our plan is to stay here for only two nights before moving to Yongin and then moved again to Icheon to our new apartment. Just few hours ago we book our additional three nights of stay here online, because we thought of too much things to carry and the hotel is good. Why we book it online when we are already here in the hotel? It is because it is much cheaper to book online rather than to walk-in.

Last Friday we went to Suwon Immigration to change hubby’s work address and extend our stay here in Korea. His new director met us Gaumbeong Station and drive us to Suwon with other English teacher, Jezzz., when we arrived in there, there’s already a lot of people waiting, our number was 43 and the current number in the counter was 05, we waited too long especially when someone has a lot of file of visa application.
Suwon is about two hours from our place by train, that’s why we woke very early last Friday. It is much faster at Seoul Immigration than in Suwon Immigration. It was really slow.,

Nothing special, this was my Pink treats few weeks ago, as you can see I have two packed of medium pink kisses but on the next day I woke up, only one left. Don’t know what happened maybe a big bear ate it (lol) I manage to hide the other packed on my canister but the big bear has a strong sense of smell. So my pink kisses were gone again, but this time I make sure that I can taste few kisses so while his eating it and making a promise to me to buy me more chocolates I am eating few pieces.
