A visit to the Broad Museum~

Hello Everyone~ There is a museum that everyone in LA has been going to. Better yet, it's free! I've been wanting to go for awhile and I got the opportunity to do so~ Sad thing is however, that I have to write an essay about my experience TT^TT Nevertheless, it was a trip to a museum and that makes up for everything!




The whole museum has to do with contemporary art. This huge pile of dishes reminded me of the ones back home...>_>

Because it is free, there was a line that stretched a little around the corner of the museum. It didn't take too long to get in but it took awhile.





There were a few adult paintings or pieces in the museum that showed nudity or subtly depictions of sexual notions. These pieces were shown in a modern way unlike the other ones I have seen in other art museums.



This one struck a cord in me. It was very psychological and emotional.





The most famous piece I've seen in the Los Angeles snapstory countless of times. It was nice seeing it up close at last! ^^




Huge versions of a balloon animal/object~




This room was isolated in a corner. It had a lot of art about African American slaves in America. Some pieces were very disturbing and depicted events that happened in the past. I felt like it was very powerful and unique by the way the artist brought it to life.



This one was another powerful one. I was able to relate to this one into my own perspective.




It seemed that the museum only had two actual floors that displayed art. I regret not going into the light room but I heard that I needed to make reservations before hand in order to get in TT^TT






Afterwards, we went to Korea town to eat at CottonHi! An ice cream place that serves fresh ice cream with cotton candy on top! Never had ice cream like that, so we decided to try it out~



I got the regular milk flavor ice cream with strawberry cotton candy on top~ Some cute lucky charm marshmallows were also put on the cotton candy that gave it a cute touch~

This was a nice little trip~ I was finally able to visit two places that I've been wanting to go in LA. Now..it is time to write that paper haha^^

Goodnight everyone~

Trip to Koreatown!


I went with my family to Koreatown after so many years of not going~






We decided to eat some korean food at the food court inside the mall first~


It was really hard choosing what to eat because I hardly eat korean food at all, in fact, it was gonna be my third time. In the end I went with bibimbap and some delicious lychee boba~ yummy~ My sister got a plate of duboki and I also loved that!



There was this pretty light up fountain inside the mall! I always have to make a wish and throw a penny when I see one~

Afterwards we ended up going to the kpop store there, a cosmetic store and some cute random stores that carried stickers. Honestly, the mall felt a little empty so we decided to go somewhere else.



Next stop was at another korean plaza. They had a mini fountain with these beautiful lights/elevator~ They also had a small bakery place and a restaurant that had a fish tank with unique fishes!


We went to go check out the other kpop store there. There were so may things like kpop totes, blankets, mugs, stickers, pillows and etc.. I ended up buying Infinite's "Reality" album and a pillow~


I am sooo happy I got dongwoos photo card! My bias!~


And this is the pillow~ It has the images of the new album~



I also finished a short series called "Noble, My love." 



Each episode was about 15 minutes long~ A quick summary by dramafever: "A veterinarian and a prince have a love-hate relationship in this romantic comedy based off of a popular webtoon!"

I'm not a big fan of webtoons or manwhas but because it was quick I wanted to give it a try~ The drama was okay~ I felt like the characters didn't really have any chemistry and sometimes it was awkward to watch ahahah but still I liked it because the dude was good looking and of course, Kim Jae Kyung from Rainbow was in it! I love her~ Anyways, I really loved the last episode. I felt like in the end, both actors became comfortable with each other~ It was cute~ 
Hope everyone has a wonderful Monday~
