Loreley in Rhein

2006-06-11T10:08:00.000-06:00

You can see more pictures from the "My photo album".

Last saturday we went Loreley in Rhein river.
The weater was so so so great and the river was pretty.

This was the Loreley rock and on the top there were some flags. Well, honestly it was little bit different as I imagined.

There were so many castles along the river, and later I could not be interested in them anymore.

There were two statues of Loreley.
Does anybody know which one the real statue is?
According to the legend that I heard, the rock where the Loreley sat was not that high like this Loreley rock.

This white statue was on the top of the rock. But it was built in 1979. Well...

And this one was on the tongue on the river.
Hmm, anyway people who live there call this long peninsula as "Tongue".
This one was black.. And these two statues are quite far way..
Which one is the Loreley??

Frankfurt is getting ready for the worldcup

2006-06-05T05:18:00.000-06:00

Frankfurt is getting ready for the worldcup!

So do I!

We are just missing some georgeous weather to enjoy.
Yesterday we had some sun light for the afternoon.

The worldcup flags in the Alte Oper, Frankfurt.

We met a very friendly couple with a little baby girl in starbucks.
Unlike US, here we can get the real mug if we wanna drink in the cafe.
It was a very good way to spend our afternoon.

We just need to extend our cafe adventure other than the starbucks next time.

At the night, we also met our old friend Markus. It is always good to see good friend again.
However my camera goes "LAL LA" mood again at the important moment, so I could not get any good one from him.. That's too bad..

Maybe next time!!!

오펜바흐에서의 즐거웠던 오후 (Korean post)

2006-05-29T06:27:00.000-06:00

I had a good afternoon time in Offenbach on last sunday.
There was a street Jazz concert and lots of authentic German food and snacks. Of course beer too!!

A crepe with banana and nutella was great for an afternoon snack.

며칠만에 모처럼 비가 잠깐 그쳤던 일요일..

갓 사온 따뜻한 크로와상으로 아침을 먹고 잠시 인터넷 삼매경인데 엠엠이 오펜바흐를 가잔다.

무슨 특별한 날이라고 일요일인데도 상점들이 오후 내내 문을 열고 타운에서는 재즈 공연도 한다기에 좋구나 하고 따라 나섰다.

아저씨들 체스에 한창들이시다. 검은 점퍼 입으신 저분 열심히 목청 높여 가며 훈수를 두신다.
딸때마다 직접 체스판에서 들어내는 걸 보니 그리 무겁지는 않은것 같은데

보기에는 무게있어 안정감 있어 보인다.

재즈 공연은 사실 동네 아저씨들 수준이었지만 제법 괜찮은 목소리를 내는 트럼펫 부는 메인 보컬 아저씨랑 주변 분위기탓에 어깨까지 들썩여 가며 기분을 낼수 있었다.

사실은 베이스 소리를 제일 좋아하는데 앞으로 나오신 색소폰 부시는 분 덕에 가려졌다.

이런데 나오면 빼 놓을 수 없는 것이 간식이다. 오늘의 선택은 크레페.
꿀로 버무린 아몬드 땅콩을 먹고 싶다는 엠엠의 의사를 저버리고 내 맘대로 선택한 크레페.

내용물을 고르는데 다시 약간의 충돌.. 사과 마말레이드랑 꿀과 계피를 넣자는 엠엠..

흠.. 마말레이드는 수제 말고는 별로인 나..
바나나와 누뗄라로 정함..

처음으로 먹어본 누뗄라 무지무지 달았다.. 속은 이렇게 생겼다..

In germany again!

2006-05-19T04:28:00.000-06:00

I safely arrived here in Frankfurt, Germany on May 17.

The weather difference between Louisiana and Germany was huge. I am cold now!!

To welcome me, my nice honey treated me a nice lunch in Sachsenhausen area.

The restaurant has quite funny name " Ape gate restarant"!..

Even though the weather was still a bit chilled,
it was great to sit outside.

I had some kind of Leverkase with grilled potato and salad (salad already gone by Mijeong!).

And this was Matthias's choice.. Hmm, a bit too much fat later.

Afelwein was still good..

I love sourkraut so much.

I could not find any jacket from my luggage since I haven't unpacked. I borrowed one of his sweater, and shamefully it was fit on me.

I definately need some diet.

The old man of this picture was our waiter. He was nice!

Mushroom burger with a lovely couple

2006-04-05T23:15:00.000-06:00

Last saturday I had a good lunch time with this authentic mushroom burger and a lovely couple in Mandeville.

This place was a small shop called " the Healthy food", and they open a lunch counter for short time.

Maybe it is already quite famous in this area since we had to wait for empty seats.

This lady who wore quite unique dress made our three mushroom burgers.

Here, the very healthy vegi cheese mushroom burger..

Taste? Actually it was very good and only the half of it was really filling up my stomach.

This new lovers looked so happy to be together. And I am really happy for them.
Unfortunately, this picture is a bit dark because of the light. Sorry Noriko and Mario.

And really thanks for coming to Mandeville to see me!!

Me and Noriko..
Noriko is so cute!

With this lovely couple, I missed my honey so much....

Hongkong Market in Westbank

2006-03-21T23:53:00.000-07:00

I spent my day off of last week in Hongkong market, Westbank.
Wow, it was quite far, but it was worthy..

It has everthing in it.. Hair shop, bubble tea shop, and a huge supermarket!!!

Our friend Ramanh bought some donuts for us..Hmm, it was quite similar taste with Korean typical donut!

Then, we went to noodle shop to eat Vietnamese noodle.
Miss Siriporn (in the picture with me) is a very nice lady who used to work together with me.

Good time in New orleans again.

2006-02-11T16:38:00.000-07:00

I had such a great time in New Orleans with my friends..

As a start, we went to "Oki Nago", where is a Japanese Sushi buffet restaurant.
All of us (Tong, Marcella, Ferri, Matthias and Me) ate until we really got full!!!

Then, we drove to French Quater..
This is the Piano bar in Pat Obrien's..

It was quite nice and live music by two pianos were really good.

Then, Matthias finally experienced the famous "shooter" by a glamorous lady in one of club in Bourbon st.

MM is in Louisiana again!!!

2006-02-09T20:19:00.000-07:00

My MM came back to Hammond for me..

We are having such a wonderful time together..

Once again in French Quater, New oleans... And Cafe De Monde..

French Quater is not perfectly recovered nor open yet, but still it will have Mardi Gras!

We also experienced Hibach grill in "OSAKA", Covington.
In front of your eyes, the chef cook your food!

And BBQ salmon roll was added..

This special roll was a service from the Manager.. (Yes, right. I used to work as a partimer here before;)

In over all, we are having really good time!!!

It took over a yer!!

2006-01-04T18:27:00.000-07:00

Wow, technically it took over a year.. Now it is already a new year;)

This thoughtful present touched me so much..

Thank you honey!

Tong's strawberry cream cake!!

2005-12-13T11:43:00.000-07:00

Last sunday was Tong's birthday.
On Monday Tong baked a cake for herself with two great assistants Marcella and Me!!

It was a strawberry cream cake..

Now, Tong is thinking how she can spread whip cream on the cake.

It was a layer cake, and the cream was so delicious!!

Marcella, Tong and Moni.. After the cake was done.. Me? I was taking this picture..

The cutting moment!!

In 20 minutes, only this one piece of cake was left.. Wow, it was so good...

You can see more pictures in my photo gallery..

Christmas Market in Boblingen, Germany

2005-12-01T19:40:00.000-07:00

Matthias sent me some photoes from a Christmas Market in Boblingen..

Looks so cosy and warm.. I wish I could be there..

Why we don't have Christmas market in US???

I guess I would have such a cold and lonely Christmas all alone in this small town in Louisiana..

Of coruse your nice cards or presents are always welcome..;)

From Markus

2005-11-29T20:46:00.000-07:00

Our good friend Markus gladly sent me some pictures from his recent trip to Regensburg and Wallhala.

Germany already has snow..

Since Markus is quite busy with his thesis, we have to satisfy with only pictures without him in them this time..

He said he could not find a cute girl who could take a picture for him.. Well, Markus let me help you..

I know lot of good girls!!!

Thai Chili

2005-11-23T10:48:00.000-07:00

Dosn't it look delicious?? This is "Jungle Curry" from Thai Chili... It has lots of herb instead of coconut milk. This small restaurant Thai Chili in Covington presents the real authentic Thai food.

Decoration and food make us experince the real exotic Thai..

I am waiting for my food. Both of us ordered the same one.

Tong tried Thai ice tea. It is extremly sweet, but still very unique taste!!! In over all, we had good experience with the real Thai food from the real Thai cook!!

How old is

2005-11-15T15:09:00.000-07:00

Moni?

In the end of October, we went to Yellow bird to have Sunday brunch for Moni's birthday.

Unfortunately, I forgot to recharge my camera batter so we had to take pictures after we came back home..

Me, Moni, and my roommate Tong

From our lovely friend Thomas!

2005-11-12T11:33:00.000-07:00

With his friends, during camping in Krems, Wachau, Austria...
Please enjoy..

Day in New Orleans !!

2005-11-11T11:36:00.000-07:00

I havn't been in New Orleans for long time.

Today I decided to go for Korean grocery shopping, and my nice roommate Tong wanted to pracite to drive on the free way.

Now, Tong is driving..;)

We wanted to have the favorite Vietnamese soup, but they did not open yet after Katrina..
We had nice soup in the bubble tea shop with bubble tea..

Look at my happy face!!

I drove back home for her.
After we came back home, Tong cooked fishes for us.. How nice of her..
This is before start to cook.

She is a really good cook...She cooked Chinese style dish.

Then, this is the cooked one!!
It was very delicious and good enough for three girls!!

Chining in Tokyo

2005-11-03T11:46:00.000-07:00

My formal roommate Chihning visited Tokyo to meet her lovely boyfriend Shigeo..

I picked the favorite picture of mine from her 200 photo album.
Good to see good friends again. Actually, she sent me this quite long ago, but I was just not get into it so far somehow..

Sorry for that Chihning..

You look happy in the picture..;)

Bayern tour

2005-09-12T20:18:00.000-06:00

Last weekend was dedicated for Bayern tour.

Fussen has very famous two castles, and Neuschwanstein is one of them. The weather was so great and castles were really great.

I had a lucky chance to stay in My honey's grandma's place. I could meet his little cousin Christiane.
We had breakfast together. That would be a good excuse about my wet hair.

Also we could meet our dearly friend Markus in the Ingostadt since he is working on his thesis in Audi in that city. He has a gorgeous room in downtown of the city. Make a guess which window is his room window from the back ground building .

Munhen was not that great as I expected and Hofbrau Haus was not great at all!!!

Trip to the Italy

2005-09-04T20:14:00.001-06:00

5 days long trip to Italy (Rome- Napoli- Pompei) was great and I still could feel summer.

I could visit many famous places for lovers in Rome;)

Vatican was worthy enough to line up to get in almost two hours in early morning.

More pictures are in Mijeong's Photo gallery/ trip to Europe 2005/ Italy.
