Lost in Bukcheon Hanok Village

Finally got out of the zigzagging alleys...but...ended up...bumping into another road leading to nowhere...but...the good thing was that..I could be in places I never knew where I was supposed to be. Just like this one...

I was walking out of the Changdeokgung-gil...only to be trapped in the alley after alley...

But..no worries..since it's still within the vicinity of tourist-area...judging from the Lee Min-ho's pictures and other idols' being sold...^^

Yup, this is unmistakably ..still a tourist area..and I couldn't be lost at all...

...going up ..and up....

..while at the same time...peeking into unique houses...

..and...finally arrived at the familiar souvenir shop at the entrance to the hanok village.

Eyra on Ice Skating @ City Hall

 What could be a perfect way to spend a very cold winter? As for Eyra: it's skating time.It was not her first time since at school she has a special program designed for all students.
So, this weekend she was so happy to hear that her Eonni Su-bin took her to city hall where an outdoor-skating-ring was flung open for public for just a mere 1,000 Won /an hour.
That's the best way to spend an afternoon at a not-that-cold (compared to previous days) Saturdays.

She went there at 10.30 am. She's ready since morning.
The excitement was there though I could see that she was a bit trembling ...judged from the look on her face^^

She could manage the whole one-hour ride, though.

Then, a cup of beverage would be just a good companion to start the adventure spent at the ice skating ring. One thing that I remembered from her story.....was that at first she found it hard to find the perfect skating shoes for here. But...fortunately, she managed to get a pair of perfect size shoes just for her. She did have a great time.

This is Yang Su-bin and Eyra. Yang Su-bin meets Eyra once a week for cultural activities. She is a student of French Department, HUFS. She's a volunteer for foreign national families and multicultural families residing in Korea--in the sense that she dedicates her time to take the children of foreign nationals residing in Korea to hang out more with Korean friends and get exposed to Korean culture and any other social activities.
