Especially the Korean War after watching Tae Guk Ki, which had be bawling so hard until I lost my voice. Culturally, I love the hanbok. This is shocking, but I personally think the hanbok is so much prettier than the kimono. O_o;;; Somehow the hanbok has a refined, simple, and elegant grace to it that the others don't seem to have. And plus, you can actually run in them! (No, it's not because I'm a Korean I think it's pretty. Once, I thought it was ugly next to the Chinese and Japanese clothes. But no more! <3)

I want to visit South-East Asia. I think the traditions there are so unique, and I love the temples. They're so extravagant and incomprehensively detailed. Angkor Wat is totally in my list of things to see before I die. I think it's absolutely gorgeous!
agree about tae guk gi but i have to disagree 100% about hanbok


ホラ顔上げぇな・・
