South Korea: Cat Angels

About two months ago, I lost one of my two cats, Dime, to acute Pancreatitis. It was very sudden. He went from jumping and running around the house, then throwing up three times in a day, to laying motionless at the vet in just about a week. It was a very tough time for my family since we have had Dime for about 7 years and we absolutely adored him.

I really hope that he is now a happy cat angel in the other world, without having to endure pain and sufferings.

Dog is one of the 12 year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. I feel extra special this year because I was born in the Year of Dog in 1994.

South Korea: The Universe

This series of cards is one of my favorite. Although I generally do not care too much about galaxy / space themed cards, I do like this one a lot. I think it looks magical and it'd be cool if they had stickers or washi tapes of this series of cards.

South Korea: Happy Halloween

This card was sent from one of my postcard-pals from South Korea.

Halloween or Hallowe'en is a celebration observed in a number of countries on October 31st. It is widely believed that many Halloween traditions originated from ancient Celtic harvest festivals.

Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns, visiting haunted attractions, etc.

South Korea: N Seoul Tower (남산서울타워)

Located in Seoul, Namsan Seoul Tower was the first tower-type attraction in Korea. The top of the tower is at almost 480m above sea level, including Namsan Mountain (243m) and the tower's own height (236.7m). It is comprised of Seoul Tower Plaza, recently opened to public access and N Seoul Tower. The tower was first established as a broadcast tower to send out TV and radio signals in 1969.

This postcard was one of the cards I sent myself during my trip to Seoul in October, 2017. I visited the tower's observatory deck on a super rainy night. Yet, the night view of Seoul was spectacular, and the world seemed limitless on that tower. I think it would be awesome to visit it on a clear sunny day.

South Korea: Mongryong & Chunhyang

Mongryong and Chunhyang are the main characters of the love story, Chunhyangeon. Long story short, Mongryong fell in love with Chunhyang at first sight. They were married shortly after but Mongryong had to move away due to family issues. He left his wife a ring as a promise that he would return for her one day. After going through some rough evens, they eventually reunited and lived happily ever after.

This is one of the cards I sent myself when I went to Seoul in October. I hope you also liked this card and the warming story between this couple.
