I don’t have
much to say about this place.
It’s not because it didn’t appeal
to me but because words would
definitely fail me
if I even start to attempt
describing it.
I was smitten
by this place in the various k-movies and dramas that I watched. Being on it, and
just letting my senses get drowned with the sights, and the chill, and the
distinct smell of the autumn air, I was head over heels in love.

Before I went to Korea,
I equated the Han river with the
idea of love itself. And breathing its crisp autumn air, I wasn’t wrong. An emotion
of great love about everything in life---what has come and gone, and what is yet
to come---surged in me upon stepping on its grounds. Oh di ba bigla akong naging
philosophical? Sabi na nga ba may kakaiba talaga sa hangin ng Korea. Ahahaha! But seriously, if it was just possible
to hug a place, I would have hugged it to death.

Ahne
and I chose the magic show cruise because it was the
most convenient for us
since we decided
to eat our dinner in a different place. The
ticket costs 13,000 won---that’s about 400 pesos----and it’s good for 40 minutes
length of cruising the Han river.

Of course we didn’t get to watch the magic show. We stayed on the upper deck for the whole time, and after our photo taking session, we just stayed silent for the whole duration of the trip, occasionally dropping in some comments about what interests us along the way. Now I understand why the idea of a cruise is so appealing to a lot of people---it puts you in one of those moods in which you get to slow down even the clicking of your brain and just feel, really feel. And during those rare moments, you would feel that anything is possible. |

Cruise with
me, baby. ;) |

Look at my
teleserye scenes in the Han river!
Tadaaaaah!
uppermost left photo: My bicycle skill
is so painfully rusty but it would be
nice to have a bicycle session along the river. Endless love soundtrack, pasok!
Ahahaha.
uppermost right photo: Forgive me
but this photo doesn’t qualify
to the theme of this photo collage. I know, I know. Here’s my
piece of advice: Don’t attempt to do this pose when there
are a lot of onlookers, in the middle of a cruise and you
couldn’t see a piece
of land anywhere. This Is such a bad joke, such a bad joke.
Tsk, tsk.
lower
photo, left: What’s
missing? Siyempre ang taga-tulak. For this photo, nagsariling sikap na muna ako. Ahahaha!
lower
photo, right: Another “What’s missing?” question for this one. This time, you
guess the answer.
