Very impressive. It's a really strange feeling when you realize that just a few 100 meters away, people live so completely differently than in ultra-modern South Korea, even if the culture and the language are the same.. 🇰🇷Read more

서울, 별마당 도서관 , Seoul Starfield Library 📍
October 17, 2023 in South Korea ⋅ ☀️ 19 °C
🇨🇭 Starfield Bibliothek... hmm, ich weiss nit recht ob meh dem würklich Bibliothek kann sage, au wenns Bücher zum lese und kaufe het. 📚
Erstens isches eigentlich e riese Ikaufzentrum.
Und zweitens, es het zwar vereinzelt Lüt gha wo dört am sitze gsi sind und e Buech in de Hand gha hend, aber ich finde es isch meh e Touristeattraktion do die meiste doch uf de Rolltreppe stönd und Föteli's vo sich mache. 📸

Fazit: Es gseht würklich mega schön us, es isch sicher e einzigartigi Kulisse für e Instagram Post, aber für mich wär's viel z'luut zum läse und zum lerne sowiso.

________________________________________

🇬🇧 Starfield library... hmm, I don't really know if I can call it a library, even if it has books to read and buy. 📚
First of all, it's actually a huge shopping center. 🛍
It does have a lot of people sitting somewhere with a book in their hand, but I think it's more of a tourist attraction than a real library.
Most people take there photos on the escalator or are posing for a selfie with a book. 📸

Conclusion: It looks really beautiful, it's certainly a unique background for an Instagram post. However to me it would be far too loud to read and learning.Read more

서울, 롯데월드 타워 - Seoul, Lotte Tower 📍
October 17, 2023 in South Korea ⋅ 🌙 15 °C
🇨🇭 De 롯데월드 타워 (Lotte World Tower) isch e 123-stöckige und 555m hoche Wolkekratzer in Seoul. Es isch's sechsthöchste Gebäude vo Asie und au vo de ganze Welt, plus au s'allereste Gebäude in Südkorea wo über 100 Stockwerk hoch isch.
Damit Bsucher so schnell wie möglich obe sind, gits zwei Hightech-Doppeldeckerlift. Sie fahre je mit ere Gschwindikeit vo 10m pro Sekunde, das heisst meh isch inner 1 Minute ganz obe! Au do sind die zwei Sky Shuttel wieder weltwiit die schnellste Doppeldeckerlift.

🤓☝🏻
Aber wiso Lotte Tower?
Das tönt so überhaupt nit koreanisch oder?
Bsitzer vom Gebäude, Shin Kyuk-Ho het
»Die Leiden des junge Werthers« vom Goethe glese und isch so beeidruck vo de Protagonistin Charlotte - oder Lotte - gsi, das de Turm grad nach ihre benännt het.

🇬🇧 The Lotte World Tower is a 123 storey and 555m high skyscraper in Seoul. It is the sixth tallest building in the world. It is also the first in South Korea to be over 100 stories tall.
To quickly transport visitors to the tower, there are two high-tech double-decker elevators that travel at a speed of 10m per second. Within a minute you'll be at the top. This makes the Sky Shuttles the fastest double-decker elevators in the world.

🤓☝🏻
But why is it called Lotte?
That doesn't sound Korean at all, right?
The ovner of the building, Shin Kyuk-Ho was reading »The Sorrows of Young Werther« by Goethe. He was so impressed by the protagonist Charlotte – or Lotte – that he named the tower after her.Read more
Sehr beidruckend ❤️ [Karin]

🇨🇭 Episch. Meh kanni nit sage. Das ich die Traditionelle Kleider, sogenannti 한복 (Hanbok) han dörfe azieh, hani kum könne abwarte. 🎎
Ich bin überrascht gsi wie viel freud vorallem die ältere Koreaner gha hend wo sie uns umelaufe gseh hend.
Denn no es höfflichs Grüezi, selbstverständlich uf koreanisch mit ere 45° Grad verbügig und zaaack du bisch de Sieger vo de Herze gsi 🙇🏼‍♀️🩷

🇬🇧 Epic. I can't say more.
I couldn't wait to wear the traditional clothes, the so called 한복 (Hanbok). 🎎
I was surprised at how much joy the older Koreans had when they saw us walking around.
A polite »Hello«, of course in Korean, with a respectful 45° bow and you have won everyone’s heart. 🙇🏼‍♀️🩷Read more

🇨🇭 Am fünfte Tag isch wandere agseit. 🥾⛰️
Ich bin überrascht gsi z'erfahre das Südkorea 80% us Berge bestoht. Es isch bizeli anderst als in de Schwiz. Wo bi uns meistens sehr steil wandere duesch, laufsch do relativ flach... devör ewigs! 🫠
Nach 5 Stunde laufe hani's Gfühl gha ich muess jetzt den sicher wege de Ziit uf de höchi vom Gornergrad si, aber nüt isch. Knapp 1507 m.ü.M sind's gsi. 😅

Mis Highlight isch das ich 아줌마's (Ajumma: dt. älteri Frau) troffe han wo probiert hend e Selfie z'mache. Ich han mi ganze Muet zäme gnoh und uf in mim Koreanisch Level A1 gfrogt ob ich kann helfe ... und ich bin spontan Adoptiert worde ! 🇨🇭🤝🏻🇰🇷

Ufem Gipfel hemer zäme Fötelis gmacht und sie hend mich iglade zu ihrem Picknick. Jedi het ihri eigeni huusgmachti Spezialität debi gha.
Ich ha die Ehr gha und nebe de Dorfältiste dörfe sitze. Sie mir mit voller stolz ihri grillierte Grille abote, wuhuuuu... 🦗🥲
Ich ha mich grad nomol überwunde und han sie probiert. Schmöckt wie e Erdnüssli. 🥜😊

🇬🇧 On the 5th day, hiking was announced. 🥾⛰️
I was surprised to learn that South Korea is 80% mountains.
However, it is a little different than in Switzerland. Where the hike is usually very steep, the hike here is relatively flat... but it lasts forever! 🫠
After 5 hours of hiking, I had the feeling that I should be at the top of the Gornergrad (Matterhorn).
But nooooo, it was only 1507 meters above the sea level. 😅

But my highlight was that I met a few 아줌마's (Ajumma: eng. older women) on the way. They tried to take a group selfie. I gathered up my courage and asked in my first level Korean if I could help... and just like that, I was adopted. 🇨🇭🤝🏻🇰🇷

At the top of the Mountain we took a few pictures together and then they invited me to there picnic.
Everyone had their own homemade specialty with them.
I had the honor sitting next to the oldest member in group. She proudly offered me her grilled crickets ... yeeey 🦗🥲
So I got over myself again and tried them... Amazingly it tasted like peanut. 🥜😄Read more
