Day 3

Taken from the pamphlet

After visiting Changdeokgung Palace, we went to Seoul Museum of Art. We got confused with the directions and kinda walked around in circles for like 30 minutes until we decided to use google maps and GPS. It was fun! We're like treasure hunting, walking around and trying to find the dot in the map. Hahaha! Good thing the weather was nice and it was such a pleasure walking around this area. We saw a couple of nice and cute cafes and lots of cool looking restaurants.

and we were at the right direction. yay!

Finally! Welcome to Seoul Museum of Art. Admission was free so we let ourselves in. There was an exhibit diplay in the gallery at the third floor. The exhibition, entitled Eternal Narcissist, featured the works of Chun Kyung-ja, one of Korea's most renowned painters of the 20th century.

The exhibition is designed to approach Chun's autobiographical paintings from the self-respective viewpoint and thus divides the exhibition into four sections: The Story of My Sorrowful Legend, A Fantasy Drama, Drawings, and A Woman of Freedom.

That's what was written in the pamphlet. So we climbed the stairs to the third floor. Understandably, taking photos inside the exhibition wasn't allowed. I liked a lot of her paintings, drawings and essays. It was very interesting, indeed!

Anyway, let me tell you a little secret, when we got here, I realized that what I really wanted to visit was Seoul Museum of History. Still, no regrets. It was a lot of fun!

PS. I just had to tell you about the Korean KFC chicken we ate after our visit in SeMA! But before that, let me tell you something first. The side of my tongue got a tear from my braces and it was really painful and was such a big bother coz I can't talk properly and worse, I can't enjoy the food! Huhu. Anyway, so like what I was saying, we dropped by KFC for our dinner and thought I can just order the regular chicken and eat it slowly. I wasn't expecting it to be soooooooooo delicious. My goodness! I wanted to cry because a) my tongue hurts and b) I can't enjoy my delicious food! Waaah! I was just so pissed about the whole situation with my tongue. Bottomline is TRY KFC CHICKEN IN KOREA! Ugh. Ranting and free advertising ends here. Hehe. That is all.

PPS. I didn't take a picture of the chicken coz well..it was KFC and I wasn't really expecting too much from it. Also, I wasn't in the mood to take pictures due to the agony I was in. Hehehe.
