April is here and Seoul, as usual, is offering up "the world to create our own story," and "Happy space where the family enjoy together." We have, individually and together, hunted Easter eggs, brunch buffeted, park picnicked, film watched, weaned, climbed mountains, viewed flowers, bussed to a school field trip, dinner partied, conference attended, play dated and spent many a "refreshing afternoon mingling with the nature, and lots of something to enjoy."
In return, we continue to provide Seoulites their own chance "to meet unforgettable glorious moment" in the guise of lovely tall Brian - here being interviewed by school girls in Insadong, and cute blond babies - seen here on Namsan with a tour group. Also April is the season for "the world filled with sweet talking and love," and once again we see cute couples dressed alike, carrying each others handbags, and doing their best to squeal, giggle, and clown their ways into each others' hearts.
We have gone to many parks lately: Yongsan Family Park, Hangang River Park, Yeouido Park, Namsan Park etc. but Olympic Park "the most brilliant theme park in Korea" (according to the brochure, liberally quoted in this post), has been our family outing favourite. In addition to Olymipic venues, flags, flames, museums etc. the park also has a fortress, a lake, 2 playgrounds, a sculpture garden, a kid's cafe, an art gallery, and many walking and cycling paths, and food and baby facilities. We rented a four-wheeled bike complete with two front baby-seats, and explored happily for hours.
Look, it's the Shinsegae dessert hall.
Here is super-model-turned-party-planner Miggi Chi attending our baby playgroup with her camera man. She is being filmed for the Korean TV show Supermom. This is not an April Fool's day joke - this is my surreal life. I have always enjoyed hanging out with Party-culture-fashion-icons, we have much in common. I am also very eager to appear as much as possible in the Korean media. Indeed, I "will be the hero on passionate stage," and my chance encounters "with the citizens will bring [me] unforgettable memory."
Here are some flowers. "It's the world to build the monument in our heart - It's the world for the break." Happy Spring.
