Soul of Seoul
Hi everybody, it's been a real long while since I last blogged. I think it's because I don't really know how, the whole idea escapes me. But at the urging of Mimi and Angel, I've decided to write a little bit about my trip to Seoul last week (for a press junket for The Face Shop). Let me tell you, I wasn't too excited to go at first because it's winter in Korea now, and I haven't been in the cold for some years now, so I wasn't feeling prepared. Plus, my reclusive nature felt threatened by the idea of going to a strange country with strangers. Needless to say, I'm glad I went because Seoul was awesome! I never imagined Korea to be so clean, organized, and pretty! And my fellow editors (from Summit and other publishing houses) are a total hoot! The whole press experience was cool–attending a conference, going to a factory to see how makeup is made and packaged–and the whole foreign country thing was amazing! I was able to rustle up a small group to go sightseeing, and it was crazy, but fun. Here are some pics of my experience:
Me and some of the editors outside our hotel.
Sampling some of the goods in The Face Shop.
Traditional (formal) Korean dinner.
All suited up for factory tour. No pics allowed inside factory 
Summit sistas: Vicky from Preview, Lyca from Seventeen, moi, and Arlene from Marie Claire.
The beautiful park at the Gyeongbogkung Palace. Pretty!
Cheers!
Jennie

Awww. Lucky you Miss Jennie. I wanna go to Korea someday. Hehe. Diba the endorser of The Face Shop is Kwon Sang Woo? Hehehe. And, and your park picture is really pretty Miss Jennie.
