Get Up and Keep Fighting!

Another weekend. Another story. Together with falling snow, that day I went to meet my friends to have some good beer and food. So I made an appointment to go beer cafe called The Booth. The booth was sponsored The Beer Week Seoul last Autumn. Of course here we are, to enjoy some good beer! You can see the story in here WALK ON THE MOON.


I Ordered get wit or die trying beer. Another one was my friend's called 대동강 and imperial biscoti break. Hard name for beer! Then we ordered the full pan of half Cheese Pizza / 치즈피자 And the one of the best pizza I ever ate 페퍼로니 피자 / Pepperoni Pizza and 프렌치 프라이즈 / French Fries.

How to get there:
The Booth Gangnam 2nd / 더부스 강남2호점
서울특별시 강남구 강남대로98길 12-4 / 12-4, Gangnam-daero 98-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Korea.
Seoul Subway Line 2 go to Gangnam Station (강남역) exit 11.

If you want to drink beer while having fun and chat with friends, I strongly recommend The Booth. CHEERS!


After eating, we went to watch the currently-hot-movie Lalaland (but I take picture with Mr. Newt Scamander). And last week I just saw the Golden Globe Awards, when Lalaland breaks record for most Golden Globes won by a movie. And Emma Stone won as the best Actress made a very impressive speech:

"TO ANYBODY, ANYWHERE, WHO FEELS LIKE GIVING UP SOMETIMES BUT FINDS IN THEMSELVES TO GET UP AND KEEP FIGHTING, I SHARE THIS WITH YOU." - EMMA STONE

So wherever you are now, whatever you do now, if your dreams seems fade away, don't ever give up, stand up and keep fighting! Because hard work never betrays you.


After pizza and beer and movie, I met a friend and decided to eat (again) at a restaurant called Double Trouble / 더블트러블. We ordered the Double Trouble Sandwich / 더블트러블 샌드위치 and 폴드포크 프라이즈 / Pull Pork Fries. It was great! But unfortunately, because my stomach still full I can't eat a lot that time! But sometimes I'll be back there. Double Trouble interiors very interesting, the atmosphere like American Old Cafe.

How to get there:
Double Trouble / 더블트러블
서울 강남구 봉은사로4길 22 역삼동 810-13 1층 / 22, Bongeunsa-ro 4-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Republic of Korea.
Seoul Subway Line 2 go to Gangnam Station (강남역) exit 11.

It was one fine day with my very full stomach!

Halloween Pumpkin Carving!

Halloween and Pumpkin, 2 things you can't separated about. And for celebrating Halloween this year, I went to Pumpkin Carving Sunday held by Craftworks Tabhouse located at Pangyo.


Welcomed by Halloween theme decoration and friendly staff, we've got the whole pumpkin and ordered the foods&drinks (because the demand quite high, you need a table reservation to get the pumpkin). I ordered Jirisan Beef Platter / 지리산 비프 플래터 and for two person American Dinner Burger / 아메리칸 다이너 버거, and of course my Favorite beer Belgian Wit.

How to get there : 
Subway Sinbundang Line (신분당선) to Pankyo Station (판교역) get out to exit 2 then take the bus number 76. 

or for more information or for reservation:
031-706-7474 


Actually, that was my first carving pumpkin ever in my entire life. In my country, we not really-celebrate Halloween, and that's been one of the reasons I really love to go another country then learn and life in the new culture and tradition. And in the between of my experience of my first pumpkin carving I realized how fun was it. Kind of reminds me of my University life as a Visual Communication Designer, make sketches and carving and then coloring. It's fun! Fun!

And then I started to busy make the sketch on the pumpkin and cut the part one by one. And my friends got part to draw the pumpkin brain motifs then put ketchup on that to make little scary effects. :p

Overall the event was very fun. The foods were great, the beer of course. The ambiance was perfect and the staff of Craftworks Pankyo very friendly.


HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Walk on the Moon

THE BEER WEEK SEOUL hosted by the booth brewing (http://thebooth.co.kr) in partnership with Common Ground (common-ground.co.kr) from Sept, 21th until Sept, 25th.
 


Common ground is popular container-made fashion mall in Seoul. 
To get there you can take the subway Konkuk University (line 2) and go out from exit 6 then go straight by walk.


You can find the list what kinds of beer line up you can choose to drink at the entrance door. The beers divided by two: Guest Brewery & Beer and Local Brewery & Beer. And you need to buy the ticket to drink the beer. The pink color ticket for local beer and the purple color ticket for the guest beer. I bought the package which I've got 3 glasses guest beer and 3 glasses local beer (I came with my 2 friends) for 33.000₩.
 
Beside the Beer Week, there is PRINGLES TORTILLA festival. It was the Pringle's marketing strategy to introduce their new product, PRINGLES TORTILLA! There is a game like you need to put in the arrow-shaped shot to the jar in the front of you. If you can put in 3 arrows inside, you going to get a speaker and 2 Pringles Tortilla. I was putting in 1 arrow and I've got 1 tube of Pringles Tortilla. I'm falling in love with this new Pringles Tortilla!

Fat, fat, fat! Common Ground best food truck maybe gave me like 2 kilos plus after enjoyed the food. I ordered Sausage and Cheese Fried Fries by 궤도에오르다 (Go Into Orbit) and 삼겹살 (Pork Belly and Fried Fries) by Wonder Truck. Two thumbs up for both of them! And for the guest beer, I picked Belgian Ale Beer.

I came around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, still empty just a bunch of people, however, together with the sunset more people came!


Second round! Not yet full, we ordered Chicken with Barbecue Sauce and our next glass of beer, this time to local beer.
Overall the beer was good, the food was outstanding and the atmosphere was fun!


And I paired my Black Converse Chuck Taylor All Star High Top with flower mini dress and leather look-a-like jacket. Plus black choker necklace.


Not end yet, we went to Maze Escape Room. But I can't give you more information here, the point is you need to solve the instructions to get out of the room! And there are 3 choices of room there: Escape from the Alcatraz, The Bathroom, The Thieves. For more information, please open http://www.mazeescape.co.kr

Note: all the instructions are in Korean. Make sure you understand Korean well or go there with your Korean friend! It's secret but trust me worth to try!


In the meantime, inside the room, I can't perfectly understand the language and the hint sometimes just got me stuck in the same place. It makes me feel stand on my own feet in the place between hopeless feeling and believe there is way out no matter what. But sometimes the only way out is just not stop trying, you just need to try. 

So whatever is your problem now, or you have dreams you want to reach, but you keep failing, you can't give up, you just need to try. And if you succeed, don't forget there is still a bunch of challenges ahead. And if you failed, stand up again and try more. And then one day, we will succeed. And we will walk on the moon.
CHEERS!
