Amazing Place : N Seoul Tower

Hullo! Now in this post I would like to share with you an amazing place which is N Seoul Tower.
N oul Tower is a communication and observation tower located on Namsan Mountain in central Seoul, South Korea. It marks the highest point in Seoul. Built in 1969, and at a cost of approximately $2.5 million, the tower was opened to the public in 1980. Seoul Tower was completed on December 3, 1971, designed by architects jangjongryul. By August 1975, the third floor of the observatory room, museum, open hall, souvenir shop, and the other facilities, were open. The tower was open to the public for the first time on October 15, 1980. Since then, the tower has been a landmark of Seoul. It measures 236.7 m (777 ft) in height from the base and tops out at 479.7 m (1,574 ft) above sea level. It changed its name to N Seoul Tower in 2005. The "N" stands for 'new,' 'Namsan,' and 'nature.' Approximately 15 billion won was spent in renovating and remodeling the tower.
There are many amazing spots for enjoying Namsan Tower, but most people enjoy the top view because it is simply amazing. There is a place called The Love Padlocks, this place is called that because there is an iron framework that is filled with padlocks that people hang. these padlocks represent their relationships to last forever. After hanging those padlocks, they would throw away the keys.
There is also a place called The Teddy Bear Museum. This place is a heaven for those who like Teddy Bears. Because this place is filled with teddy bears. The teddy bears are placed like a miniature of historical scenes interestingly so we are entertained with it.

An Utterly Unforgettable Experience

So I'm here to tell you something about me, well, my experience to be exact. So last year around July or August my family and I decided to have a trip to Singapore. It's a 3 days and 2 night trip. We departed from Husein airport in the first flight on that day, which was in the dawn and me not being a morning person of course woke up late, which could have jeopardized our whole plan. But thank god I packed well last night so we weren't late despite me waking up late. We arrived at Changi airport on 7 or 8 o'clock I forgot. This is probably something that many people had said about it but I need to say it myself, Changi airport is awesome. Seriously, free wifi, cozy place, library and mart not too far away and awesome beanie chairs? Heaven. But the outside world offers more fantastic and diverse entertainments... So we departed from Changi to our hotel, with the help of a friendly tourist guide. He explained every basic things necessary to survive the next 3 days. Such as the local mosque and the restaurants with no pork near our hotel.

So after checking in and dumping our luggage to the hotel, we planned to explore our surroundings. Here's a fun fact : riding the subway is fun. Well I must sound a bit immature, but I really did enjoy going in and out of the subway, plus it is very convenient. Nevertheless, we reached the Merlion, statue with a fish for the lower body and a lion for its upper body and head. There we did some sightseeing for an hour or two, then we walked around and took more pictures. My sister and I acquired ourselves a map from the vendors around, we found the location of Chinatown there, so we went there, again by subway.  The Chinatown is a busy place that was always buzzing with life, it was so crowded but we managed to trudge our way through. We bought some souvenirs there, I bought myself a watch, it was a vintage and I really liked it. Oh yeah there my sister and I found a store that sells everything about Tintin, we got really excited there, there was this real life size statue of Captain Haddock and we took many photos with it. We spend the remaining day eating and sightseeing through the town, and when we got really exhausted we went back to our hotel.

The next day my uncle had a plan for us, we were going to the universal studio of singapore. We departed from our hotel at 8 or 9 o'clock. We arrived soon and as soon as we reach the venue my sister went mad taking photos. Inside, we were welcomed by a costplay parade, there were Betty Boop, Dora, Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Cleopatra etc. Again, my sister went into a frenzy of taking photos again. Going farther, a huge twin roller coaster just literally burst into existence. It was huge, full of loop, and seemed very scary. I rode the ride. It was exhilirating, and refreshing. My sister threw up when we got off the ride, too much for breakfast I guess. After that we passed through more themed areas such as The Madagascar and The Mummies. Oh, there was also a ride at The Mummies area, to get onto this ride we had to go underground through a series of tunnel, it was dark and gloomy so it was a bit scary, but it was exciting though. After riding that the elders and my little sister got exhausted so they got a place in the near restaurant so I circled around more with my sister. There were many street performances and it was awesome. We went back to our hotel when we got exhausted, but we were satisfied and happy.

The next day wasn’t so much fun because we were busy packing and preparing going home, not to mention we got school and homework waiting for us. So we got onto the noon flight and arrived safely in Bandung around 3 o’clock.

A Journal : Matswapati

So last Saturday on September 27th my school had a festival. The festival was also to celebrate the 204th anniversary of Bandung, so the festival was heavily imbued with Sundanese culture, because obviously Bandung is the capital of West Java. The title of the festival was Matswapati taken from a 'wayang' (somekind of dolls made from leather or wood and played with our hands) with the same name. Like I mentioned before, the festival was heavily imbued with Sundanese-ish culture shown by the decorations and foods available there. The festival took place at Bali St., in Lapangan Bali (Bali Field).
So at 7 in the morning, a parade that circled around Bali St. opened the festival, next there was a speech given by our headmaster, the mayor of Bandung, Ridwan Kamil also came and gave a speech.
Next there was some performances I think, I couldn't remember what was which because I was busy keeping the decorations from falling apart. Moving on, at 12.30 there was a performance by our school's theatre kids, or also known as T'sT. It was hilarious, the performance was about a man who was being promiscuous but then he was discovered and yeah, followed by some more drama afterwards. But nonetheless it was fun watching it.
After that, hours passed by. At 5 pm the show was coming to its climax. The gate to the festival was about to be closed so there were many visitors who came around this time.
After a break, the guest star of the festival, Glen Fredly came along around 6.30 PM. He sang a number of his hit songs such as 'Terserah' and many more. Around 8 PM, I think, the festival was coming to the end, but sadly I couldnt see the closing ceremony because I went home earlier.
