Hello Hyerie! How did your midterm exam go? ^^

Thanks for explained me a bit of Korea's History. It always fascinated me, but I never researched or learnt some stuff as you told me. :)

I went to Wikipedia and I must say I felt excited and I really want to visit your country.

Travel Channel is indispensable for who dreams to visit all of the world. It is a easy way to travel without get out of the sofa.

I want badly to get to know more of Asia and Middle East. So many cultures, lifestyles, cities, food...all. *-* I can stop thinking of that. hehe

About Lisbon....I think it is the city with more population. Lisbon is known as the seven haills city. In the horizon you see Tejo river (or Tagus river, in English). It's full of little churches (everyway you pass, you'll find it one.) and the streets seems like labirints. Chiado or Baixa (Downtown) is a commercial zone, where many tourist walk, and you can listen Fado (tradicional music type) in some streets.

There are 5 theatres available for you, which one particularity beautiful. (S.Carlos Theatre is the oldest, and it was The Real Theatre.)

The bigger Christmas tree in Europe is built every year in Lisbon (or Porto), and I've to say that last year's tree was fantastic. (Fireworks included.)

Sé de Lisboa (it is a cathedral) is so simple and at the same way very beautiful. When the sun insides over the vitrals you get so many colours...purple, blue, yellow, red...fantastic. And the acoustic...powerful...if you ever have the opportunity to visit Sé, you must see a Organ concert in it. I don't know if you like, but I think it is a show that we can't miss.

Try to find : Belem Tower (Torre de Belém, in portuguese), Padrão dos Descobrimentos, Mosteiro (monestary, I think it is written like that ;P) dos Jerónimos. Those spots are monuments in Lisbon. In Sintra, try to find Monserrate (My favourite palace), Moors Castle, Pena Palace. I think you're going to like.

Have a great week.
