Namhansanseong 남한산성 Trip (part 2)

Finally, we reached to (almost) the top part of the fortress.

If I am not mistaken, it all started in the early 7 Century until it's part completion in the early of 17 Century. 

anyway..enough with historical fact/stories...that I could not fathom to 'memorize' 

One thing for sure, the seemingly intact fortress which looked like a mini version of the Great Wall...did intrigue me. 

especially..the snow just fell and it added to the eerie-ness that I bumped into when I laid my eyes on it. 

Yes...even on a clear daylight..the whole Seoul would be visible. I could barely see the being-constructed Lotte Tower..far beyond below. 

now with some of our fellow friends who hiked along together. 

and..... 

Prof. Yang who --I was overwhelmed myself--accompanied us along the trails. 

now..let's go up into another section of the Namhansanseong...^^

100!!!

I got a surprise from my family: a cake with 100-shaped candles on it.

 Whaaaaattt?? Am I 100 years old? ^^

Well, they congratulated me on this semester's achievement.

Alhamdulillah..I got A+ for all subjects. 

yeaach..and that means 100 points.  

Well, it turned out that it was my daughter's idea to get this 100 cake specially for me.

They'd been talking secretively of doing something for me...but I didn't know what..until they came home on X'mas evening...and brought me this cake. 

I guess I got to thank them too for having supported me to be a working-studying-Daddy.

Thanks, girls.
