#Cheonggyecheon #청계천 is a 10.9-kilometre long stream. This was taken just outside the hotel where I stayed #hotelvenueg during a slightly windy day!

When I went to Korea earlier this year, it was primarily to attend a wedding. It was quite an experience to see both the western and Korean traditional wedding. Despite being the only #nonkorean at the wedding, I was even honoured enough to witness the #pyebaek. This is where the bride gives deep ceremonial bows to her in-laws and both the bride and groom sit together to pay their respects to the grooms family. Here the mother-in-law throws jujubes onto the brides veils and wishes them many children. How many jujubes are caught determine the number of children etc. Historically only the in-laws are allowed to attend the event. But I was considered to be part of the family. It was a special event dear to my heart and am glad having gone all the way to witness my friend on her special day. #koreanwedding #pyebaekceremony #koreanwesternwedding #koreanfamily

I am not a great fan of #fisheyes close up. So it was easy for me to take this picture at #jalgalchifishmarket during my trip@korea in #2016 As I am at a slight distance.

I think Ryan is fast becoming my favourite #kakaofriends character #Ryan #ryankakaofriends #adorable
