This statue shows the separation of the body and mind.
At the Haeinsa Temple in Korea.
This is rad
This place is way down near Daegu, but the area has a few temples that look worth seeing! Adding it to my "I like bus trips lets go!" list for sure!
It's been a while. Hey?
I've been wanting to post more, write more, pick up on one of the many tumblrs/blogs/journals I have left off on...and yet I haven't. So, rather than stress for days or weeks trying to make my original blog a place where I feel I can write about where I'm at in life now on, I thought I'd jump over here. Pick up where I left off, and transition this into a sort of writing&photo tumblr. I'll keep that one running for strictly reblogs and FYV related things, but I'll stick to this one as a place for myself. And if you enjoy it as well, that's cool, too.
So, hello world. I hope to share with you some pictures of the beautiful Seoul (where I'm living now), all the coffee I drink, some tidbits of writing and thoughts, and whatever else seems to fit. My movement, my stillness; my journey and my life. Welcome!
I've called this blog, temporarily, "빛난다" or "bitnanda" which means to twinkle, to shine, to be distinguished in Korean. 빛나, a shortened version of this, is my Korean name. This year I want to live up to that name, and to shine as myself, without needing someone else to tell me to do it!
Nice to meet you all! Say hello, if you'd like. Ask questions. I'll make some about me type posts as we go on, but for now, let's just leave it at hello.

My favorite dog at Bau House (and me, derp). He did not want to leave my lap and got very angry if anyone tried to change that. So cute~!! Taken September 2012.
Bau House dog cafe in Hapjeong, Seoul. Located directly between exits 3 and 4. Both big dogs and little dogs, and not overpriced! Taken September 2012.
ShortCake cupcake cafe in Buam-dong, Seoul.

ShortCake cupcake shop in Buam-dong! I passed this place before climbing up the mountain, so on my way back down I decided to splurge on a cupcake even after my 8,000 won coffee. Worth it! If you're in the area, definitely try a cupcake here. Both it and the coffee shop are easy to find~! Taken September 2012.
Some scenery from 산모퉁이, the cafe where some scenes for a home in Coffee Prince were filmed.

I climbed up a very long road in Buamdong, only to find 산모퉁이, a cafe used to film some parts of the Korean drama Coffee Prince. I did not know this was in Buamdong, but since I was there, I had to go inside.

Inside "Art for Life." I'm still not sure what it is. When entering, you walk down a path and then go through an ambiguously labeled door and out into the area with the rocking chair thing you can see pictured. I could see people eating at tables down below, but had no idea where to go, so I went on my way. I was just planning on exploring, anyways.
