Seoul for some days ;D



Seoul for some days!



Ich hatte vor diesen Blog nur englisch zu lassen, aber ich habe einer Freundin versprochen was zu schreiben wo sie hingehen soll in Seoul unbedingt.

Daher schreibe ich jetzt was ich empfehlen kann!
Erstmal empfehle ich das Backpackers Hotel!

Unbedingt in das Restaurant mit dem Stehgrillen gehen! (es ist Inn und sieht lecker aus!).

Dann geht man Richtung U-Bahn Station von Sinchon indem man auf die Gegenüber liegende Seite erste Mal die Ampel überquert und dann die Kreuzung von der U-Bahn überquert, man sieht auch ein Café Haru und  biegt einfach links in die Gasse ab. Dort wird eine etwas ältere Frau stehen in einem Laden und vom Laden inneren Mandus/Kimbap nach außen verkaufen! In das Restaurante gehen bzw. draußen etwas kaufen !
DIE BESTEN MANDUS die ICH JEMALS gegessen habe! Der Laden ist auch ausgezeichnet für ihr eignes Rezept! 



Dann ich liebe die Sincheon gegen! Einfach laufen und in RICHTIG VIELE GASSEN GEHEN!
Viele Restaurants und Cafés einfach rein! Mann kann nie etwas falsch machen!

UND CHICKEN Restaurants! UNBEDINGT KOREAN CHICKEN!

Dort gibt es in er Nähe auch die KEB Bank mit der Shinhwa Bank eine mit global ATM!

Den Hügel runter nicht die Straße überqueren sondern normal runter an Café Bene vorbei usw. dann kommt am Ende des Wegs an der Kreuzung die Bank!

Shinchon gibt es unten Socken zukaufen ( super günstige, günstiger als sonst wo)



Dann Hoegiyeok! Ich kann die Gegend empfehlen bei Ausgang eins (1) rausgehen....

Man sieht es dort! Es gibt viele Studenten dort und viel Restaurants bzw. Cafés und die besten Pajeon EVER!
Im Sommer ist die Gegen fürs Erdbeerbingsu berühmt ( ;------; so YUMMY)
Den Laden zu finden ist ziemlich schwer ich habe oben einmal eine Karte mit koreanischen Buchstaben der Station und Ausgang. Ich bin mit Freunden hingegangen, so was es einfacher natürlich....
Nun meine "geile Wegbeschreibung".
Man bleibt auf dem Weg von Exit 1 und dann kommt man an einer Gasse vorbei und geht weiter!
Dann kommt an dem Kiosk/Convi GS25 vorbei und dort führt eine Straße rein!Achja, in diese Straße reingehen. Gerade aus gehen und dann kommt eine Einbiege, einfach weiter gehen gerade aus und dann ist man recht am Ende der Straße dort muss sone schwarze Tür sein... Die Tür und das Restaurante sieht echt runtergekommen aus...
Aber einfach reingehen ....
Es sieht so aus...also ja XXXXXD nicht schön.
Bzw. so geile Pajeon!!! Einfach echt mal suchen....
Man muss allerdings die Schuhe ausziehen.



So Dongdaemun!
Einfach alle Einkaufshäuser mitnehmen die gehen!

Man steigt Dongdaemun History & Culture Park aus und sieht das:
Dort die Straße runter gehen also wo die Hochhäuser sind...demnach die Straße überqueren und die Einkaufshäuser reingehen! Man sieht es ihnen nicht soo an XD aber Leute gehen rein und raus!
Dort gibts viele Klamotten günstig bis teuer!
Das mittlere von den ganzen ist günstig man kann auch handeln mit den Leuten dort, viele Koreaner gehen dort rein.


Das neue Lotte infinite ( hoffe XD es war der richtige Name) ist ein Einkaufszentrum was günstig anfängt und teuer endet...XD aber es ist toll vor allem die Cafés dort.

So sieht es aus, man kommt auch vom U-Bahnhof Linie 2 rein.

Reden wir von Shopping ist Hongdae und Ewha Area ein muss man! Sollte man allerdings echt selbst ausprobieren! Einfach überall lang gehen + reingehen! keine scheu!

Myeongdeong ist auch gut zum Schoppen immer rein, rein, rein!

Soooo
Kosmetik *antrommel*

Ich liebe etude house!!!!!!!!!!!
 Es ist einfach mein Liebling! Misha finde ich ist auch nicht schlecht XD einfach rein es sind Erfahrungen!
Sonst zusagen mag ich Face Shop vor allem die Aloe Vera creme ist nützlich Sonnenbrand, Schnittwunden und jegliche weiteren Verletzungen heilen vieeeeeel schneller.
Auch Gesichtsmasken kaufen ruhig XD sie bringen lustige Erfahrungen, aber sie sehen nicht nur witzig aus sondern bringen echt was.
Die Nasenmaske...wenn mans brauch ne...

Sesame ( glaube so war der Name...) ist eine japanische Marke glaube ich...nicht sicher, aber sau teuer und der Nagellack so lala!
Etude House hat tollen Nagellack genauso wie Toly Moly bzw. Skin Food hat tollen Nagellack!


Einfach mal sehen was man selbst mag, aber ich finde Etude House hat eine tolle Qualität + günstige Preise.



Clubbing in Korea...
Keine Ahnung wie die Läden heißen Leute....Freunde haben mich immer reingezogen!
Hier ein Blog ( aber ich habe XD viel ja schon zu meinem Dating special erwähnt):

http://seoulofmyshoes.wordpress.com/2012/04/15/a-beginners-guide-to-partying-in-hongdae-waygook-edition/
Hier noch einer: http://wonderrrgirl.wordpress.com/2012/08/25/clubbing-in-hongdae-noise-basement-nb/

Man sollte 20 sein als Tip für den Rand...sonst Gangnam ist man strenger beim kontrolliern als z.B in Hongdae was die Ausweise angeht bei Ausländern.


Hof&Bier/Bar whatever ist auch etwas was man ausprobieren sollte 



Bars sind auch toll ! Bada heißt eine Bar in Hongdae wie finden wir hin?
Gute frage! Also los gehts mit dem special of my great explaining again....

Hier auch ein Link: http://travel.cnn.com/seoul/drink/staff-picks-best-bars-seoul-304327

Wir gehen Exit 9 raus...und dann hier mein super bild:

Da so...

Man muss halt eine schäbige Treppe hoch aber ist 'In'

bzw. das Trick eye museum ist dort auch! Gleiche Straße + Gegend alles ! Die Bar ist kurz vor dem Trick eye museum nur halt auf der anderen Seite!:


http://budgettravel2korea.blogspot.de/2012/09/trick-eye-museum-hongdae.html



Auch einfach mal machen ;D

Das Museum kann ich wirklich empfehlen!

Genauso wie das unterirdische Museum am Gwanghwamun Plaza! Dort wo Sejong und Yi Sunsin stehen, gibt es bei Sejong glaube XD naja die letzte Statue einen Eingang und man lernt beide Persönlichkeiten kennen!
Unbedingt das 4D Theater mitmachen ;D


Lotte World auch unbedingt machen! Aber das einfach eingeben und sehen wie man hinkommt.

(note an meine Freundin: warst ja eh da)


Dann Anguk aussteigen...und nicht gleich Richtung Insadong sondern Richtung des Palastes dort gibt es tolle Schmuckdesinger. Günstig oder teuer kommt immer drauf an...! Ein hässliches Hello Kitty Café 


das in Hongdae ist vieeeeel schöner...


Bukchon hanok-dorf 

북촌한옥마을

einfach mal anschauen!
 die seouler Festungsmauer
서울성곽

Tolle Aussicht bzw. sieht gut aus.

63 building und der N Tower sind toller aber XD ja hat flair.!

Ein Café in Anguk kann ich empfehlen:

OGA.da
오가.다

Das Blaue Haus auch einfach ansehen, wenn man in der Gegend ist und dann ab nach Insadong!



Meine lieblings Cafés sind:


Café bene, baskin robins uuuuuuund Holys Café ich liebe den Goguma latte!
SUPER LECKER...vllt. eher im Winter geeignet als im Sommer... aber lecker ;_;



Auch ein favourite ist café pascucci !
Sinchon Gegend gibt es das oft! Honey bread essen!

Total lecker!

Ich hab Leider nur ein Bild gemacht vom Café Bene Honey bread, aber bei Pascucci ist es vieeeeeeeel leckerer:


In Anguk und Apgujeong habe ich die tollsten gefunden! Was ich am meisten liebe ist:


Rabbit in Apgujeong!


Es ist total schwer es zu beschreiben! Einfach mal googeln!
Also wenn man in Korea ist, Cupcakes essen XD manche sind eklig so wie manche pizzen, aber XD eig. schon sehr lecker alle!


Es lohnt auch immer
in einen Pub zugehen, es ist immer gute Stimmung + etwas los!
Bowlen und Dangu/Billyard macht echt Spaß!

Aber das tollste ist .............:

http://blog.naver.com/han0955?Redirect=Log&logNo=60151093627

DIE SAUNA! EIN MUSS JJIBANG! ist ein MUSS!!!!!!!!!!

Egal wann man geht 24/7 XD es ist toll!
Die Sauna im Link kann man eig. ausprobieren ist relativ berühmt viele Shows und Dramas zusehen!

Am Cheonggyecheon fluss ( liegt in der nähe der City hall!)

liegt auch auf der rechten Seite die koreanische zentrale für Tourismus !
suchen und reingehen!
Bzw. der FLuss wird abends mit einer Lasershow bestrahlt!


Geschäfte!
Ich mochte sehr Artbox! 

Einfach son Schreibwahrenladen der alles HAT!
Hongdae und Ewha gibt es einen aber nicht einfach zu beschreiben wo...
einfach Mal finden oder bzw. hier nachsehen: http://www.artbox.co.kr/

Ewha hat den schöneren bzw. hier nochmal eine Karte Punkt C:

Sooo Kyobo kann ich noch empfehlen toller Laden von der City Hall kommt man glaub ich überall rein in den Bücherladen ( XD ich hoffe der Name war auch Kyobo es gibt nähmlich noch eine große Bücherladenkette)

http://www.kyobobook.co.kr/index.laf?OV_REFFER=https://www.google.de/
http://lifecapsule.wordpress.com/2009/12/06/kyobo-book-centrekoreankyobo-mungo/

und Daiso

:
Ich liebe diesen Laden, mann bekommt dort jeden klein Kram..von Bentoboxen alles!...von Insadong kommt man hin! Man läuft runter immer rechts die ganze Gegend ohne von der geraden Straße abzubiegen, an der Bühne vorbei und dann wo die Kreuzung kommt, kommt eine Ampel rüber da und dann  rechts abbiegen...also nicht gerade aus weiter laufen ...XD
odeeeeeeer man schaut hier ( ich finde die Bloggerin erklärt es super wo es in Hongdae ist):

http://cuteinkorea.com/cheap-cute-in-korea-at-daiso-%EB%8B%A4%EC%9D%B4%EC%86%8C/



Soo der letzte Punkt!
Es tut mir sehr leid, wenn ich keine Palaste oder Yeoido erwähnt habe, aber meine Freund für die der Beitrag ist war schon Mal in Seoul und ich dachte das sind Sachen die ihr Gefallen bzw. Helfen können etwas zu machen! Ich hoffe sie probiert viel und geht in viele Restaurants einfach mal rein und isst kein Sundae XD


So!
용산 linie 1 und exit 3 ins Kaufhaus und einfach elktronische Sachen shoppen sie sind nicht so günstig wie der traditionelle elekt. Markt dort, aber ...er ist zu schwer ihn zu finden ohne Hilfe...

Dort kann man günstig Sticks usw. kaufen!

Ich hoffe es hat geholfen!



Sorry, for writing in German but if you want me to write something about Seoul in English just comment.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones



Clary thinks she is a normal girl but one day her mother disappears and a strange guy appears in front of her everywhere she goes. She gets to know that she is a 'shadowhunter'. A Shadowhunter is person who kills demons.



So lets start with the review!

At first the movie is quite funny and I truly love fantasy movies.

The first part of the movie is quite interesting and well done !
A pity but true the movie carries on and gets quite bad.


So Clary gets to know her mother is a shadowhunter and that shadowhunter blood is inherited.

But some minutes later they say: we were not sure if she had shadowhunter blood in her.
WTF?! They told minutes before the shadowhunter stuff is inherited!

But okay one mistake is okay! The dialogues are quite bad no they are worse.

But like I mentioned before the movie is quite funny!

So after they found the right Warlock


 Simon is really smart and gets kidnapped by Vampires!
So the vampires bite him but just his sight got better and he is still human...

Does that make sense? If you think that's really strange no, no,no!
I have a favourite list of senseless scenes in that movie:
The first and absolute best is Beethoven! 
How funny that he was a shadow hunter...come on that is really ridiculous!
The second 
he explains to Clary that  Beethoven invented a melody that demon can't listening to , because they show their true nature.
So she takes the Grail out of the picture and ignores everything he told her hours before?
Come on she is not that stupid because:

the third ridiculous scene 
shows how she tells Alec how gay he is 

...just because the warlock mentioned: "You have nice eyes"....yeah sure...


the forth thing and maybe also funny is


 the fake kissing scene and the : OMG YOU SLEPT with this guy.

Hold a minute? Simon was in her room and Jace is suspicious , because Simon was in Clarys room...
Dude you've a lot of problems she was the whole time with ya.

Also did he mentioned a threesome ?
The movie gets so creepy truly.

Now  the fifth and last scene!

 Simon is such a smart mechanic! He saw that a piece is missing on the hand gear! Clever dude.

No serious, the movie is so ridiculous sometimes even other people laughed with me in the cinema, because some scenes and dialogues were so worse.



What good stuff is to say?

I really love the German vampire! 


Also that in the movies the actors are from the United Kingdom and  from America.


Such great actors and I love how the movie is done. Such a great animation technology!

The plot is logical!

But now to the actors :


Lily Collins


 is a quite good actress!
I really love her badass clothes even if some of that hasn't fit her in reality, because Isabelle is much taller than her...But put that away she did a good job.

--->




Jamie Campbell Bower as Jace


is  a really good choice I think he is the best one for that role!
Really love him even if I really dislike his hair!


Jemima West as Isabelle 


is  also quite good but nothing much I can mention more about her!



Robert Sheehan as Simon. 


A lot of people know Robert Sheehan well , because of  the series 'misfit' and I think he is one of the best

new actors ever.
I really love him in that role in this movie!


Jonathan Rhys Meyers as Valentine 


disappoints me deeply in that movie...
He looks so fucking ugly with that hair! ( Yes even the handsomest guy can be done ugly)

Also I think the role doesn't fit him...Don't know why but he acts not really that good as I know him he can act.


So that's my review. The movie has a lot of action scenes and is really well done, its sometimes a bit creepy 


but really exciting and with a lot of good actors.

I think a lot of dialogues and scenes are ridiculous but that's maybe the charm of the movie!
I really love the plot and the book is well presented ( the dialogues in the book are not that better).


So 3,5 stars of 5! The movie is a must for every fantasy fan and people who wants to see a fantasy film.

The Berlin File

The Berlin File


Berlin File is a South Korean spy movie in Berlin.
The North Korean spy Pyo Jong-Seong(Ha Jung-Woo) was set up during a failed illegal arms trade.

His wife Ryu Jung-Hee (Jeon Ji-Hyun) is a interpreter for the North Korean embassy in Berlin.
Pyo Jong-Seong tried to figure out who betrayed him and realised that his own wife or his own country has set him up during the illegal arms trade.


The first scene shows a Korean man injecting himself something the viewer just can guess that this is maybe a drugs.
Than the place changes to Hackischer Markt in Berlin where the same person buys a 'Döner' to get information's where he must go.

Everything is very unclear for the viewer at first and I must say the movie is not really clear until the end.
I think it is quite funny that he bought a 'Döner' to get on his information's. 
'Döner' is a famous fast food from Berlin. 

The place he must go is the West Grand Hotel in Berlin which is in the Friedrichstraße.
While the actor cross the traffic light towards Alexanderplatz, so he went the wrong direction than from Hackischer Markt to Friedrichstraße is just one station with the train away.
But the little mistake we can correct if we say he took a long way and took a tram in that direction!

Than we see a deal with a Russian arms broker and a Arab who seems like a terrorist.
(No way there are prejudices right at the start of the movie)
The South Korean interrupted the deal and an Israeli tries to save them from the South Koreans.
( Now you get my prejudice mark?)
At the end Jong-Seong can't figure out who has betrayed him to the South Koreans, but he guess there must be a double agent in the North Korean embassy.

In a other scene then we can see how his wife interprets German to Korean for a North Korean during the meeting they are bugged and a waitress delivers the tape of the meeting to a South Korean man. 
While she delivered the tape to the South Korean man the North Korean spy saw everything.
The North Korean man follows the waitress at the end both are greeting each other and the viewer gets that both must know each other what explains how he could know where she is right at the moment.
But minutes later the waitress is dead and he knows his own wife must have betrayed him.
( Side note: OMG the German actress  can't act ...the reason why I don't like German movies.
So worse.. can't explain how faked her acting looks)

That's just the start of every happening event afterwards.
More I don't want to write about the plot.

I just can say everything is a bit confusing and that  the end is an open end.
At first you don't see any blood much but really soon the movie starts to be really violent.
I swear the American actor is not an real American also the Germans are definitely not all native Germans in the movie.

Some scenes are really unrealistic in the movie she tried to go from Friedrichstraße to Brandenburger Tor, beside it is only a foot way from 15min she went to the train station, because there are people who are giving her information's so that's fine, but then she is in a subway......WHAT?
She took the the train to Hauptbahnhof to get in the subway? Which is 20min?
You only need 5min if you take the S1 from Friedrichstraße train station were she was, because Brandenburger Tor is only one station away from Friedrichstraße....

Also to add is that the Romanian in the movie looks more like and Indian person than a Romanian person.
For people who never were in Berlin it is really confusing to understand why he pushed her so hard away.
Romanians in Berlin are asking you: 'Do you speak English?' to get money from you if you say no or you even spoke them you don't get easily so pushing away is really a solution in that moment.

Beside that WTF moment of mine and the really dirty and dark apartments. 
I think the movie is not that thrilling. Everything is a bit confusing and the South Koreans are not really clever.
The movie is getting clearer at the end for the viewer  and the viewer can slowly understand who has betrayed who but the climax is still missing for me.
To say something positive the movie shows beautiful places of Berlin and sometimes it is thrilling.
Every person seems to have their own secrets so it is even more thrilling to know whats happens next but with every secret you don't really figure out how everyone is really connected with each other.


BUT! What I really love in that movie is the acting! I'm a big fan of Jeon Ji-hyun and I really love her acting...
She is one of the best actresses in Korea! She is not only beautiful, no she can really act and in the whole movie she is not a beauty but an actress without make up.

 That why I really like her acting.

Ha Jung-Woo the male lead actor is also a good actor not my favourite but he is doing  more than just a good job.
                                       


What I also really love in that movie are the realistic scene.
One of them is when a German policeman couldn't understand English. Oh, yes people around the world they don't know English well.. Also where there mentioned everything in Germany is recorded! That's so true!


At the end is to say about the movie as a viewer you can see Berlin as a beautiful city.
There are great actors in the movie with a lot of action and thrilling scenes.


For me it is 3 of 5 stars.

There are better North and South Korean movies just as an example 'Secret Reunion'.
The movie is confusing and not that thrilling how the movie could be as a Korean movie.
For the plot and everything I just would give 2 stars, but the actors are great and Berlin is presented well also a lot of culture facts are true in the movie even if there are some prejudices so I say one more star.

I'm not recommending this movie only if you have too much time and want to see a movie which is played in Berlin or you like an actor in the movie but the movie is not that special to be seen.

warm bodies




warm bodies



This moive is going to be my first post for my blog.
At first I was not that sure to buy the movie...but ya just 10€ for a new movie? Why not.
I know a friend of mine who watched that movie and really loves the movie.
To say is that I haven't read the book, but I think I going to do it now !


Anyway let's start my review.

The movie starts really interesting every person seems a bit fake dead and the music in the background underlines the feeling that the movie is not a serious type of movie.
I really love the explanation why they all staying at the airport and he is living in air plane I think it is really true ( you wanna know the explanation? Watch the movie!)!

I also love that 'R' is not the normal type of zombie everyone expects him to be.
The 'bonies' are a bit creepy and seem more like real zombies. 
So the viewer can quick emotional relate to the so called corpses. I think that is clever done, because you get from the start that the other zombies are not the bad ones.

I think 'R''s friend and their conversation together is really funny done. How both are staring at each other mumbling is hilarious!
It is so cute...(and oh yes the skin colour is so white of the zombies in the movie that they are really unattractive and the lead actor is average looking! So they don't look cute but their behaviour is really cute in a way).


So after 'R introduced you to his world  the viewer starts to get him more and understands his world better.

Wait! A zombie apocalypse without humans in a movie? NO WAY!

Actually some humans survived like always.
You see how a monkey actually spread the virus?! ( Monkeys are indeed creepy but it is a bit mean to say it's their fault...)
So you see some people standing in front of a wall at first you don't know who they are what they are and so on...but later it gets explained.
The wall separates the humans from the zombies so the virus can't be spread to the last humans who survived.
Also soon an older mend talks to them explains that the corpses are not human and GOD BLESS AMERICA...You see the female and the one male are in a relationship but the male is not that into her like the other way around.

Later in the movie their relationship is going to be explained and the viewer can understand why the boyfriend changed.

'R' and his friend searching for food, because they get this unstoppable hunger...while they walk they see a bonie one eating a human body...the zombies were scared and actually shocked how he ate the human...they stopped for a moment and rushing quick to their destination afterwards.

So back to the humans they are searching for medicine and then 'R' and his friends are coming and the fight starts. The humans wants to live and the zombies their brains. (yummy)
As a viewer you can see how desperate they want to be more human again, so that explains the bonie scene more.

The bonie just ate the human.'R' explains that the brain is the best part, because they can start to feel a bit more human if they eat the brain.

The whole zombie concept is well thought out and as a viewer you are not seeing a strange world.


Anyway the zombie met the beauty and the movie turns into a love movie. I think the scene is well done with the music and the viewer starts to laugh, because of the music. I think the music is John Waite with missing you
Also the music and  the car scene showed how both developed feelings for each other.
The soundtrack of the movie is really well done chosen.


After he took her in his world there are really cute and funny moments and the viewer can see how both are getting closer step by step.




Nicholas Hoult as 'R' is not that good looking and as a zombie he is even more not.
Teresa Palmer as Julie is the typically beauty and honestly her acting is not that good in the movie but some scenes she is really good.Best scene is while she tried to be a zombie this scene is really funny.



                                

Nicholas Hoult instead played really good his role the whole movie.

Nicholas Hoult played better, because you got his feelings just without him saying anything.
You could hear his thoughts only, but it is harder to act without actually saying anything also you really think as a viewer that he is a living dead. I think Teresa Palmer is not that bad, but sometimes she has a blank face or the face again. Sometimes she also did really well, but Nicholas Hoult is from the beginning until the end a really good actor. 

At first you hear always 'R' thoughts which I think is really cool, his thoughts are like a teenager sometimes which is quite funny often. As a viewer you understands his problems really well, because while you are/ were young you are/was the same.
Later he talks more I really missed this thoughts at the end.

The zombies and the bonies are getting in a fight so the movie is also really exciting.


Even if the lead actor is not that pretty and the lead actress not the best actress I think I would recommend the movie and say it is actually a really funny movie, but more black humour kind of way funny.

So what makes the movie so damn special?
I think the story I never saw like that before, the music is well chosen to the scenes, how the love story is, the cure for the zombies, war human vs. zombies, fight bonies against zombies, development of 'R', how human and living can come together and the humour is sarcasm but funny!

Also the love story is really interesting!

Because I enjoyed the movie from the start until the end I will give 4 to 5 of my stars.


Why just 4? At first the movie is not that special you can really say what gonna happen and second the acting is a bit weak of the lead actress.

So thumbs up for a untypically zombie movie.
