There's so many layers to it.</div><div class="separator"><br /></div><div class="separator">The last hour just whites you out with its scope and intensity.

Denis Villeneuve has cemented himself as one of the great sci-fi visionaries. If you love sci-fi, movies, or just pure kickass spectacle, you MUST see this in theaters. I'am looking forward to the Blue Ray release so i can relive this masterpiece in the confort of my home. </div></div><center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Full ★★★★★</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Way9Dexny3w" width="320" youtube-src-id="Way9Dexny3w"></iframe></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;">Marie</span></center><center style="text-align: center;"><br /></center></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center>maries_connectionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107553785290119413noreply@blogger.com0Banbury, UK52.0629009 -1.33977523.752667063821157 -36.496025 80.373134736178855 33.816475tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264550700423432326.post-4418359670138137542024-02-01T14:03:00.006+00:002024-02-01T16:57:30.288+00:00Science Fiction Book Haul - New Additions to My Collection!<center><center style="text-align: justify;">I'm always on the lookout for great new science fiction books to read, and I recently picked up three exciting titles to add to my collection.

It's about the colonization of a new planet in the Proxima Centauri system. The story follows Yuri Eden, a Russian cosmonaut selected to be part of the historic mission to settle the planet Proxima Centauri b. This promises to be a sweeping sci-fi epic about humanity's expansion into the stars. Baxter is known for his grand-scale hard sci-fi tales, so I'm expecting a technically detailed look at space travel as well as intriguing alien environments on Proxima b.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2CbU5EH9MNuQ9ZxZtVfy7gv2zynsCel999IokIz2VZVq9dLkYypcJTJHo45RMxC1dOiS68gTKOaQxtVHy-SQEr1NKl1hgJVobRzrbzaLR62_eV-Y9MMz74IUvjmqMm9fUW_5NIYbWtLz6MeKtqYeOre32tiX17zpLCtkHn9wWKJm-kuaS3nmIA_-xWz8/s1421/Proxima1.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1421" data-original-width="918" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2CbU5EH9MNuQ9ZxZtVfy7gv2zynsCel999IokIz2VZVq9dLkYypcJTJHo45RMxC1dOiS68gTKOaQxtVHy-SQEr1NKl1hgJVobRzrbzaLR62_eV-Y9MMz74IUvjmqMm9fUW_5NIYbWtLz6MeKtqYeOre32tiX17zpLCtkHn9wWKJm-kuaS3nmIA_-xWz8/s16000/Proxima1.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/s?k=children+of+time+by+adrian+tchaikovsky&adgrpid=1188572968823999&hvadid=74286013768384&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=41655&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvtargid=kwd-74285951815194%3Aloc-188&hydadcr=24466_2219375&tag=mh0a9-21&ref=pd_sl_15zd648ge4_e" target="_blank">Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky</a></b></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Next up is Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky, which I've heard great things about. It's a unique take on a generation ship story, following the crew of a ship traveling to a distant planet to establish a new home for humanity. But when they arrive, they discover the planet has already been terraformed and inhabited by a new intelligent species evolved from spiders! The concept of spider-based civilizations ascending to intelligence sounds fascinating and different from typical sci-fi fare.

I've heard so many good things about Charlotte's setting sprays and finally got my hands on one. This lightweight spray smooths the look of makeup and gives a soft matte finish while keeping your face fresh.

I've been using it after my makeup is done and my complexion looks airbrushed and flawless all day long! Definitely a new staple in my kit.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Next is the <b><a href="https://www.charlottetilbury.com/uk/product/beauty-light-wand-blush-peachgasm?gclsrc=3p.ds&&nst=0&msclkid=034d7c7bf83e1c7585c919cb0f302813&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=UK%20%3E%20Charlotte%20Tilbury%20%3E%20Brand%20%3E%20Cheek%20%3E%20Exact&utm_term=charlotte%20tilbury%20beauty%20light%20wand%20peachgasm&utm_content=UK%20%3E%20Brand%20%3E%20BLW%20Peachgasm%20%3E%20Exact" target="_blank">Beauty Light Wand in Peachgasm</a></b>. How gorgeous is the rose gold packaging? This illuminator gives the most beautiful lit-from-within glow. The creamy, lightweight formula blends seamlessly into skin. I've been using it on the high points of my face like cheekbones, brow bones and cupid's bow. The peach-pink shimmer looks so natural yet sophisticated.

I've been wanting to add this mask into my nighttime routine for a while. It's enriched with nourishing plant extracts like ginger and Guinea chestnut. You apply a thick layer before bedtime and wake up to soft, supple skin. It's perfect for sealing in moisture after a long day.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Next I have the<b><a href="https://www.clarins.co.uk/UK_specialoffers.html?gclid=c612bba1c56214225745de062c967af2&gclsrc=3p.ds&&msclkid=c612bba1c56214225745de062c967af2&utm_source=bing&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=sem_UK_clarins_ecommerce_sun_sun%20protection_dry%20touch%20facial%20sun%20care%2050%2B_product_exact&utm_term=clarins%20dry%20touch%20sun%20care%20cream&utm_content=sem_UK_clarins_ecommerce_sun_dry%20touch%20facial%20sun%20care%2050%2B_exact" target="_blank"> Dry Touch Sun Care Cream SPF 50</a></b>. I've struggled with finding facial sunscreens that don't leave a greasy finish or white cast on my skin. This one goes on light as air and absorbs quickly without any stickiness or residue.

Yes, I can see you smile and maybe think I am one of those 'crazies' but here is a quote that has always been with me by Budd Hopkins himself, who originally was not a believer until he experienced, one day, something that he could not explain which changed his mind and lead him to become one of the best-respected authors in UFOlogy.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMK1tz0xJ0mH5uQbWehCtWtTxdtbKHZM1lbIah8dZ915zfW1y3nz6II5FMTA81qBx_MxA2tSpQOEWYLqy7ScpqNsBMTj8RHAHWlzefIzsD8ct_ThDgDHgdk2pSz7Sn-2jW4iqjERXYR5bm5iaCAKxJJYXerVAHkYnRbsjQSXsiBZMhgfUjH7l4Nu2gPZQ/s3364/missing%20time%20budd%20hopkins.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3364" data-original-width="1836" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMK1tz0xJ0mH5uQbWehCtWtTxdtbKHZM1lbIah8dZ915zfW1y3nz6II5FMTA81qBx_MxA2tSpQOEWYLqy7ScpqNsBMTj8RHAHWlzefIzsD8ct_ThDgDHgdk2pSz7Sn-2jW4iqjERXYR5bm5iaCAKxJJYXerVAHkYnRbsjQSXsiBZMhgfUjH7l4Nu2gPZQ/s16000/missing%20time%20budd%20hopkins.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> His quote is as follows taken from his book;<i> INTRUDERS</i> :</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><span><a name='more'></a></span><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>'So my request to you, the reader. Do not prejudge. Realize that if any aspect of the UFO phenomenon as reported is true, then any of the rest of the reported phenomena may be true too. Try not to put anthropomorphic limits on what may be an entirely alien intelligence and technology. The true skeptic cannot, at the beginning, accept the impossibility of anything.'</b></i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">And with this simple quote, I always believe that there is definitely a phenomenon going on since it was first reported during WW1. You cannot deny that 100 thousands of people around the world experience something so truly terrorizing and all reporting very strangely almost identical abductions (similar oval room, lights, feeling, instruments used, description of The Greys, etc) to be fake so you cannot believe those are all made-up stories, I do not believe in this, I believe those people experience something so traumatizing that their traumas shall be respected and they shall be able to heal from it, not to be judged or describe very quickly as 'crazy'. I respect those people and I believe their traumatic stories. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">All those people come from different backgrounds, ethnicities, countries, etc from nurses to bus drivers, teachers, lawyers, farmers, policemen, housewives, students to doctors. all those people had one thing in common, apart from being abductees, they at first had <b>no interest or belief in Aliens</b> (or UFO/UPA for that matter.) And <b>none of them did it for the fame or for the money.</b> </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">To tell the truth, most of them just want to forget their experience(s), and 99.99% of those people which to remain nameless. But they all have <b>frightening experiences that need to be told!</b> and for the majority of them, abduction was not a one-time situation but many 'experiences' and 'missing time ' during their human development from childhood to teen to adulthood. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">But let's go back to my review of MISSING TIME by Budd Hopkins.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Aside from UFOlogy, Budd Hopkins was a well-respected and celebrated expressionist artist whose paintings and cultures are in the collections of the Metropolitan Museum Gallery Of Art in Washington, and the British Museum, among others.

From the moment you step foot into the park, you are transported to a world of innovation and exploration.

This section of the park is divided into different pavilions, each of which represents a different country. Visitors can sample international cuisine, watch live performances, and learn about the history and traditions of each country. I especially really enjoyed visiting the Japanese area which simply reminds me of my travel to Japan in 2009! </span></span></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0;

Whether you're a thrill-seeker ( Guardians of the Galaxy is a must-try, absolutely insane and so much fun!!) , a foodie, or a history buff, there is something at Epcot that will pique your interest. Even if you're not a fan of Disney parks in general, Epcot is worth a visit for the sheer scale and intricacy of its design. It was definitely one of my favorites to visit from all the parks that Disney had to offer. </span></div><p></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(217, 217, 227); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Overall, my experience at Epcot was unforgettable. The combination of education and entertainment is done in such a seamless way that the learning feels like fun. It’s still a great way to spend a day, even as an adult. Epcot is a testament to Disney's commitment to innovation and creativity, and it's truly a must-see destination for anyone visiting Orlando.</span></span></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(217, 217, 227); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(217, 217, 227); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap" style="--tw-border-spacing-x: 0; --tw-border-spacing-y: 0; --tw-ring-color: rgb(59 130 246 / .5); --tw-ring-offset-color: #fff; --tw-ring-offset-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-ring-offset-width: 0px; --tw-ring-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-rotate: 0; --tw-scale-x: 1; --tw-scale-y: 1; --tw-scroll-snap-strictness: proximity; --tw-shadow-colored: 0 0 #0000; --tw-shadow: 0 0 #0000; --tw-skew-x: 0; --tw-skew-y: 0; --tw-translate-x: 0; --tw-translate-y: 0; border-color: rgb(217, 217, 227); border-style: solid; border-width: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; margin: 1.25em 0px 0px; text-align: start; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="background-color: white;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTIeGr5Z3RaCQe4F0eVe_RQafy-ySFWgNVjbUKC5QhNQ-gy5mRCt0w6lRe1jwLbbSSuLPdbbMaRZlaU6MJ3u2bUsCyEI4w75OoBr7WEpBeOE10AO4uV1Kb6fntVf1UcYDaBXECWvIruo-0danqrjAsVUpwXPa-dCdgMpQScMJqCTkizMRjeKC0KxTozY/s4096/epcot%20fireword%20grid%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBTIeGr5Z3RaCQe4F0eVe_RQafy-ySFWgNVjbUKC5QhNQ-gy5mRCt0w6lRe1jwLbbSSuLPdbbMaRZlaU6MJ3u2bUsCyEI4w75OoBr7WEpBeOE10AO4uV1Kb6fntVf1UcYDaBXECWvIruo-0danqrjAsVUpwXPa-dCdgMpQScMJqCTkizMRjeKC0KxTozY/s16000/epcot%20fireword%20grid%202.jpg" /></a></span></div><span style="background-color: white;"><br /><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span><p></p></center><center style="text-align: left;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Thanks for reading.</span></span></center><center><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></center><center><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></span></center><center><img alt="photo http---signatures.mylivesignature.com-54493-296-79E53BC17D95187FB5D27BBF5946862B.png" border="0" src="http://i924.photobucket.com/albums/ad84/ninielalfirin/http---signatures.mylivesignature.com-54493-296-79E53BC17D95187FB5D27BBF5946862B.png" /></center>maries_connectionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107553785290119413noreply@blogger.com0Bay Lake, FL, USA28.3764687 -81.54940340.066234863821154732 -116.7056534 56.686702536178842 -46.3931534tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264550700423432326.post-62421883426323578782023-10-11T09:00:00.016+01:002023-10-11T09:22:31.295+01:00Kimchee 김치 Restaurant -Authentic Koreans cuisine at your door step<center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center><center style="text-align: justify;">I recently dined at <b><a href="https://kimchee.uk.com/" target="_blank">Kimchee </a></b>Korean restaurant in King's Cross St Pancras London and I must say it was a delightful experience.

I must say that I was blown away by the presentation of the dish, which was almost too beautiful to eat. The dish was a delicious mix of thinly succulent sliced pork, served with lettuce wrap, and accompanied by a perfectly Ssamjag chili sauce (a thick spicy sauce made with Korean Soybean paste, Chilli, and other ingredients such as garlic, onion, honey, and sesame oil) The flavors were well balanced and the portions were generous. I often see this dish being eaten by my favorite K-pop artists or while watching Kdrama as I have been a fan of the Korean culture for many years so of course I had to try it and I wasn't disappointed. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRye5xctCd6wWmhy6jytQ8MVz2FS2VRfdaAuTbaJyO3EQpAse0fiargxM8S4gmwmqs0HjeiYhlitTDmQ6mOWj0O_777cg04gnaKz1G5dH14cNhHxaKCPai1aG8zgb2a5fs6x7-xoQIL1iJ0eWbVaPQHylJed9n1VltDJ7wTRxz61c31GY4453E5BTrM4/s4080/pork%20belly%202.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="4080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLRye5xctCd6wWmhy6jytQ8MVz2FS2VRfdaAuTbaJyO3EQpAse0fiargxM8S4gmwmqs0HjeiYhlitTDmQ6mOWj0O_777cg04gnaKz1G5dH14cNhHxaKCPai1aG8zgb2a5fs6x7-xoQIL1iJ0eWbVaPQHylJed9n1VltDJ7wTRxz61c31GY4453E5BTrM4/s16000/pork%20belly%202.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Z3zWj6G8aC1i0PDfvWCkQAFSwur8fq-Vs_CiyCYDInAgJ_07PJi7HZUUSNZc8GOFHaQVXohQrgkK9XkvlKi2UWW3NOBXYQPRMcXep_LijL4fRXA0I82UyPQBMG7-TYPyvrUPpUkyVmitgUsshvv_YO3g3INO0LgpfwDq7NwksewxehgFx-oJO8UtlrM/s3523/pork%20belly%201.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3523" data-original-width="1811" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4Z3zWj6G8aC1i0PDfvWCkQAFSwur8fq-Vs_CiyCYDInAgJ_07PJi7HZUUSNZc8GOFHaQVXohQrgkK9XkvlKi2UWW3NOBXYQPRMcXep_LijL4fRXA0I82UyPQBMG7-TYPyvrUPpUkyVmitgUsshvv_YO3g3INO0LgpfwDq7NwksewxehgFx-oJO8UtlrM/s16000/pork%20belly%201.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">My friend and I also decided to try the <b>chicken Katsu bun</b>.

Brynn, played by the talented Kaitlyn Dever, took a remarkable weight on her shoulders to carry the whole movie with her excellent to almost perfect performance.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">2snd the music </center><center style="text-align: justify;">From the beginning to the end the music, choreographed by Joseph <span>Trapanese, is remarkable. from terrifying to chilling to suspense. The music itself takes this movie to an elevated scenario.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;">3rd the Alien design and alien sounds. </center><center style="text-align: justify;">I am a believer and by that I mean I believe in the existence of the Greys and the hundreds of thousands of reported abductions. I read a lot of materials on the matter such as Ross Coulthart's <i>In Plain Sight</i> but also books from Budd Hopkins's best sellers such as <i>Missing Times, The Intruders</i>, and <i>Witnessed</i> but this is a story for another time. </center><center style="text-align: justify;">Physical description reported thousands of times by abductees is spot on to the way the Alien have been designed in the movie apart from one thing: their size, in the movie the Grey stands at a large 6 feet tall (I believe they've been designed that way to give the movie a more scary aspect) in reality they are around 4 to 5 feet tall. Despite this, I can tell that the Director Brian Duffield spends a large amount of time researching what The Grey looks like which makes this movie even more terrifying.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> The Aliens' noises are chilling. hard to describe in a few words but hearing their 'calls' had me having goosebumps all over my body. Designing their 'voice' is as chilling as the way they look perhaps even more disturbing. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">4th the feminist message (Brynn does not need no-one to save her! No damsel in distress here!) and the way the movie tackles issues of abuse and trauma in a respectful and meaningful way. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">As I do not wish to spoil this movie, if you haven't yet watched the end has a strong meaning to me especially the way Brynn gets to deal with her childhood traumas and the way she gets empathy from the visitors. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">As Halloween is approaching I highly recommend <i>"No One Will Save You"</i> to anyone looking for a thrilling and empowering movie experience. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Bryan Duffield delivered a fantastic sci-fi that I personally think was one of the best movie releases of the year.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><i>No One Will Save You</i> is available on <b>HULU,</b> if you leave overseas, but if you are based in Europe find it on <b>Disney+</b>.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/IcA02w6rm44" width="320" youtube-src-id="IcA02w6rm44"></iframe></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Thanks for reading.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marie </span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center></center>maries_connectionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107553785290119413noreply@blogger.com0Banbury, UK52.0629009 -1.33977523.752667063821157 -36.496025 80.373134736178855 33.816475tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264550700423432326.post-40107479989001635562023-10-05T11:21:00.003+01:002023-10-10T11:25:23.190+01:00Kissimmee Florida in pictures<center style="text-align: justify;">My first time in America was spent in Florida and mostly around Kissimmee.

As I strolled along the waterfront promenade, I was greeted by a stunning array of boats, each adorned with its own personality. The picturesque setting felt straight out of a painting, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts like myself. The nearby historic buildings, such as the Saint Catherine's Church and the Old Port, added an extra layer of elegance and authenticity to the scene.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Our protagonist, Akira Tendo, is an ordinary office worker bullied and unhappy and suddenly finds himself thrust into a post-apocalyptic world filled with the living dead. Instead of succumbing to despair or hopeless survival, Akira embraces this new world by embarking on a bucket list to make the most of his situation. This twist on the typical zombie narrative injects a refreshing dose of optimism and adventure into the story.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvW-buZsVno-zojssbhJcsp8KjeRcBhF_nH7ZzE9knX4RnfO_CRWvXj_1FCynx23_2j2_SMgEKoJ5tz26uOVHfc7R5zcwL2BopBHqbySZBrlzwwNAOeqW-HVR6Gr84PgvN0xiZa-w-_iTJ25G4vbxJJdk37p3n_E0JM1feTlvvAlXmG067bi8whg54yJc/s768/Zon-100-768x431%20(1).webp" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="431" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvW-buZsVno-zojssbhJcsp8KjeRcBhF_nH7ZzE9knX4RnfO_CRWvXj_1FCynx23_2j2_SMgEKoJ5tz26uOVHfc7R5zcwL2BopBHqbySZBrlzwwNAOeqW-HVR6Gr84PgvN0xiZa-w-_iTJ25G4vbxJJdk37p3n_E0JM1feTlvvAlXmG067bi8whg54yJc/s16000/Zon-100-768x431%20(1).webp" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Well-Developed Characters:</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> The characters in Zom 100 Bucket List of the Dead are not your average clichéd survivors.

The actors bring the characters to life in such a compelling way that you can't help but become emotionally invested in their lives. I was particularly impressed with the chemistry between the two leads, Tiffy and Leon, portrayed by the talented actors who consistently captivated me with their performances.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">The storyline of "The Flatshare" is unique and refreshing. It revolves around Tiffy and Leon, who agree to share a flat but due to their differing work schedules, they never actually meet. Instead, they communicate by leaving notes for each other, which creates a bond between them. The series beautifully explores themes of friendship, love, and personal growth, and I found myself eagerly anticipating each episode to see how their relationship would develop.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSatYq7kpmlZkF07X1OYnikPa8msU3Ei-wsqEucGKSi8V3oOwTJR7VL9gIotM7vCiz3Fv-Ir4_zW1PNZKbXtTxQi5_zpUx02iKVUc9Zajx3pRNSiKEBn9gbPlnzm4p9cUfoi-CCtFmKXOa9F37QMTecmJjOWavHerJaXNyVJQkGTExaUVNXOPkNt1xFcA/s615/R%20(4).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="410" data-original-width="615" height="427" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSatYq7kpmlZkF07X1OYnikPa8msU3Ei-wsqEucGKSi8V3oOwTJR7VL9gIotM7vCiz3Fv-Ir4_zW1PNZKbXtTxQi5_zpUx02iKVUc9Zajx3pRNSiKEBn9gbPlnzm4p9cUfoi-CCtFmKXOa9F37QMTecmJjOWavHerJaXNyVJQkGTExaUVNXOPkNt1xFcA/w640-h427/R%20(4).jpeg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsM16bqNkM2FntzKj_FboXUk8sgzSkf-r5MKazseHcxWkRP96uMW54aaSgsWePTknZ8_qfKP-FMgrsKDxeQo-tASlEK8yuyFKDoEuVqegTJLQcWT4tL6TqQm9--S86eP9rY-YphNljidOPEI2tEGY_KQ8vvNfoukqWTnN_ZZARhohAxdRw81uoYBOeF2E/s1280/R%20(6).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="853" data-original-width="1280" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsM16bqNkM2FntzKj_FboXUk8sgzSkf-r5MKazseHcxWkRP96uMW54aaSgsWePTknZ8_qfKP-FMgrsKDxeQo-tASlEK8yuyFKDoEuVqegTJLQcWT4tL6TqQm9--S86eP9rY-YphNljidOPEI2tEGY_KQ8vvNfoukqWTnN_ZZARhohAxdRw81uoYBOeF2E/s16000/R%20(6).jpeg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTbHLHukaz4_wAyq3inX6YIM9uk_weJkXOQqe4WJ9PxtqOZKfJaZ-J0QAFur1xAf0YRWbEn9AEt37jh6ZiTUy3PW2sXd4SMg-KNPUSUTADxd9-HwdidWdUkgOeT5laD44z2cogyEQxt6ae2QV4UO-hNjxvhk0Ia0PG-qqG5JSFzZpJUEOzAhU53ndkC_g/s2048/R%20(5).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1365" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTbHLHukaz4_wAyq3inX6YIM9uk_weJkXOQqe4WJ9PxtqOZKfJaZ-J0QAFur1xAf0YRWbEn9AEt37jh6ZiTUy3PW2sXd4SMg-KNPUSUTADxd9-HwdidWdUkgOeT5laD44z2cogyEQxt6ae2QV4UO-hNjxvhk0Ia0PG-qqG5JSFzZpJUEOzAhU53ndkC_g/s16000/R%20(5).jpeg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCD6VPQ_TaJgrcoQ1p_w3EcL21nWh8TKf09bLW5NUjTJk-z3h2mQSPH57w_zFFHZC-iklfwh2juW-LBY8Ew7yCle79zJ3CQwMbhixQzrthqaOJpsOSYiu7HVecAmXo_BVCRmJNDoodZ8BffLvFeJXf96c_RLa3eqJ6EXiN6xe2Y7ZUs83gFsH89xNYeE/s500/MV5BMzAwMWM2ZTctMTMxYy00Y2U3LTg4ODUtNzcwY2ZmZjY5OWQ3XkEyXkFqcGdeQVRoaXJkUGFydHlJbmdlc3Rpb25Xb3JrZmxvdw@@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,0,500,281_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="281" data-original-width="500" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCD6VPQ_TaJgrcoQ1p_w3EcL21nWh8TKf09bLW5NUjTJk-z3h2mQSPH57w_zFFHZC-iklfwh2juW-LBY8Ew7yCle79zJ3CQwMbhixQzrthqaOJpsOSYiu7HVecAmXo_BVCRmJNDoodZ8BffLvFeJXf96c_RLa3eqJ6EXiN6xe2Y7ZUs83gFsH89xNYeE/w640-h360/MV5BMzAwMWM2ZTctMTMxYy00Y2U3LTg4ODUtNzcwY2ZmZjY5OWQ3XkEyXkFqcGdeQVRoaXJkUGFydHlJbmdlc3Rpb25Xb3JrZmxvdw@@._V1_QL75_UX500_CR0,0,500,281_.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><center><br /></center><center><br /></center><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">The writing in "The Flatshare" is also top-notch.

Korean Series on Netflix!<center><center style="text-align: justify;">Hellbound is a Netflix original series.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> It's a heart-pumping thriller that is sure to leave you with chills down your spine. The show perfectly combines horror and drama, keeping you engaged till the end. But before I tell you more, this show was a Korean webtoon initially, which I have to admit I am yet to read but let me assure you it is on my reading list.

The twist is that instead of dying a peaceful death, these individuals are subjected to gruesome and painful deaths by supernatural entities. The story follows a group of characters who embark on a journey to unravel the mystery and put an end to the killings.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">The direction and cinematography are top-notch, making the terror-filled moments even more intense. The writers have shown great storytelling skills, making us empathize with the characters and feel their fear and anxiety. The actors deliver excellent performances, bringing the characters and their emotions to life.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjerESwrTkZMNK5MjlYW0v3_Vx6i2_67UoSFMOV5IeaiBJFnYl_6U-qbV1qrSeCU2Jogw4Z1cgrB5OfaW7fV-866VLkIuN40Z0iJSMov4L_kdJywcF_sdcCbUXr3Qp86JPdUF-o80KdfwkhyvREZMLIuhJMJHTR0XE1V7ZCcY8-KzJjvhn_XyBtcdb/s1200/R.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="675" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjerESwrTkZMNK5MjlYW0v3_Vx6i2_67UoSFMOV5IeaiBJFnYl_6U-qbV1qrSeCU2Jogw4Z1cgrB5OfaW7fV-866VLkIuN40Z0iJSMov4L_kdJywcF_sdcCbUXr3Qp86JPdUF-o80KdfwkhyvREZMLIuhJMJHTR0XE1V7ZCcY8-KzJjvhn_XyBtcdb/s16000/R.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiICb3HzsSktDO7UezBqNfka3HcXJprs_0AUrcAuLkjHxc6VlAckZmxsQBxmsiiGo-Rze8rqR8HvpZbhDN4AbmrfITz145QwYvZUglVyTvrO00MM4BsgMU0IxVb8kSQ4tlknvXY3SyhTK7W37UXgjCfMiguS62GDlftdyUEX041SFmGJHRQnVB9xhdQ/s3136/R%20(1).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1651" data-original-width="3136" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiICb3HzsSktDO7UezBqNfka3HcXJprs_0AUrcAuLkjHxc6VlAckZmxsQBxmsiiGo-Rze8rqR8HvpZbhDN4AbmrfITz145QwYvZUglVyTvrO00MM4BsgMU0IxVb8kSQ4tlknvXY3SyhTK7W37UXgjCfMiguS62GDlftdyUEX041SFmGJHRQnVB9xhdQ/s16000/R%20(1).jpeg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhebTpNa_QwLyOU6pYoBJAdBgqCjKjAKU1iA3UAma4oEdbAOGhK1vTeCghD8z-hKYE4eThrCF3LdFUFLzMqGfu6V_QXpzoihBZ1KljgMPrxLVTeCme7le5aDvXFHvHzT-p2ePiZKi0yonmdR4nm_cz_Zlr-nnCQqe4yIcIrSDLdyfl6Wk6cWxv4SubE/s1200/hellbound.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="667" data-original-width="1200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhebTpNa_QwLyOU6pYoBJAdBgqCjKjAKU1iA3UAma4oEdbAOGhK1vTeCghD8z-hKYE4eThrCF3LdFUFLzMqGfu6V_QXpzoihBZ1KljgMPrxLVTeCme7le5aDvXFHvHzT-p2ePiZKi0yonmdR4nm_cz_Zlr-nnCQqe4yIcIrSDLdyfl6Wk6cWxv4SubE/s16000/hellbound.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD19un_aFbZMrNPMHz396mc23bSl2z1LfS1pUnTxsmGaCCRb8pUbWFg8h4Ko6YV3K6Hcpvd1R0RPRa6ZHchgqfqBKfV_fSVBPVXCWA9F3KAATfCTTHF6ZDAsbB7ddQp0BvmeW1zUb4sWZzqxIqpgEgA0D5-w81kYmCpEDTPeHiZ32-4SeEZeCPBM6Q/s768/R%20(2).jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="432" data-original-width="768" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgD19un_aFbZMrNPMHz396mc23bSl2z1LfS1pUnTxsmGaCCRb8pUbWFg8h4Ko6YV3K6Hcpvd1R0RPRa6ZHchgqfqBKfV_fSVBPVXCWA9F3KAATfCTTHF6ZDAsbB7ddQp0BvmeW1zUb4sWZzqxIqpgEgA0D5-w81kYmCpEDTPeHiZ32-4SeEZeCPBM6Q/s16000/R%20(2).jpeg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/LtdXK6yNFN0" width="320" youtube-src-id="LtdXK6yNFN0"></iframe></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg54KYkXktXWVSTKH8NprEOXqZVteYTpO9T_NXA4r_feNG2X91copaOnI8tIexh3yHhFhZTpk-9qdrQcrJeaosVFeN_yih8UD2ObezPgut_mXIecWXb9LpO0Kf7mB-bXIRExJ3wAuJwANRbSA48ofTDBrhKLmfDkBxBYjWV7aZWj1J6CjqKGe6YQ56N/s1556/355207b9be597b889c287b4f115ae7a4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1556" data-original-width="1050" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg54KYkXktXWVSTKH8NprEOXqZVteYTpO9T_NXA4r_feNG2X91copaOnI8tIexh3yHhFhZTpk-9qdrQcrJeaosVFeN_yih8UD2ObezPgut_mXIecWXb9LpO0Kf7mB-bXIRExJ3wAuJwANRbSA48ofTDBrhKLmfDkBxBYjWV7aZWj1J6CjqKGe6YQ56N/s16000/355207b9be597b889c287b4f115ae7a4.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Overall, Hellbound is a must-watch for horror and thriller lovers. The series is gripping and has well-written characters, outstanding performances, and a unique concept that will keep you hooked till the end. Oh and let's not forget the amazing twist at the end, I won't say no more. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">What about season 2? </center><center style="text-align: justify;">Well, it has been confirmed that season 2 is coming our way but there is no actual date for the release on the Netflix platform. Originally it was predicted for 2022 but as 2022 is gone and dusted let's hope the new season gets released in 2023. We shall see.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Last thing but not least; I also recommend you watch the series in Korean with an English sub .. let's say the American accent in dub does not really have the same effect as in the original language. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Do you think you'll be watching it?

If it wasn't for the hundred of tourists, including us, walking around wearing what tourists wear in any Disney park the Star Wars Galaxy edge would have felt totally real. Just totally amazing. I mean just look at all the pictures below which can speak for themselves.</span></center><center><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></center><div>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap"><span style="font-family: arial;">The main
attraction is Star Wars:<b> Rise of the Resistance</b>, and it's an experience like no
other. You'll be taken on a journey that puts you in the middle of a battle
between the Resistance and the First Order, and you'll feel like you're part of
the action. The ride is a combination of animatronics, special effects, and
immersive storytelling, and it's an experience you won't forget. It was absolutely insane and I never experience something that felt so real at some point I felt like grabbing a lightsaber or else and be part of the battle. It was literally that insane and I cannot wait for the day I go back and re-experience this. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="whitespace-pre-wrap"><span style="font-family: arial;">The
other attraction, <b>Millennium Falcon</b>: Smugglers Run, puts you in the cockpit of
the famous ship and tasks you with completing a smuggling mission. You'll get
to control the ship and feel the rumble of the engine as you fly through space.
The attention to detail in the cockpit is amazing, and you'll feel like you're
really flying the Millennium Falcon. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap"><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span></p><p class="whitespace-pre-wrap"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggTpbzxqchgkEXlL7IBelcySzTwQ1ct8oO-ruJbE4x1bC4-XF8m_mpjISAYWks89SzQ_GIiBmVHvvnGAtINs1Fz0ya8G-QEHs6nwHxq9nN-sBoP_-6vSVUdgwJ0FqScQsGDDfag-IYK7MQkk3u5txBX6T0Rya7PVpfW7sGU3sXcKk4llRAzJZnNypD/s4080/20230407_103616.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="4080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEggTpbzxqchgkEXlL7IBelcySzTwQ1ct8oO-ruJbE4x1bC4-XF8m_mpjISAYWks89SzQ_GIiBmVHvvnGAtINs1Fz0ya8G-QEHs6nwHxq9nN-sBoP_-6vSVUdgwJ0FqScQsGDDfag-IYK7MQkk3u5txBX6T0Rya7PVpfW7sGU3sXcKk4llRAzJZnNypD/s16000/20230407_103616.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMH4kAKHQ88ONTLMR9N7QmN0wYMtCHxhaTNDhZ9Px8OxeNNPpBPImPoOdd9hBzvTii-302HG_gsAK3CBtaaIBQ5gU5K7rTuyK4BqYA1ivP9lkcEnlfdG5uE0KsAZicJoEINT1rOGXHcfO3I0-6CdeyvVtCtNJy5VagsmfWevOPmN_5egHXWcpxs6u5/s4096/millenium%20falcon%20inside%20grid.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMH4kAKHQ88ONTLMR9N7QmN0wYMtCHxhaTNDhZ9Px8OxeNNPpBPImPoOdd9hBzvTii-302HG_gsAK3CBtaaIBQ5gU5K7rTuyK4BqYA1ivP9lkcEnlfdG5uE0KsAZicJoEINT1rOGXHcfO3I0-6CdeyvVtCtNJy5VagsmfWevOPmN_5egHXWcpxs6u5/s16000/millenium%20falcon%20inside%20grid.jpg" /></a></div><br /></div><br /><span style="font-family: arial;"><br /></span><p></p>

park also has a variety of shops and restaurants, all with a Star Wars twist.
You can buy lightsabers, droids, and other merchandise ( My upcoming Star Wars Galaxy Edge haul soon in your galaxy near you !), and you can even build
your own lightsaber at <b><a href="https://www.disneyworld.co.uk/shops/hollywood-studios/savis-workshop-handbuilt-lightsabers/" target="_blank">Savi's Workshop</a></b>. The restaurants serve Star Wars-themed
food and drinks, and the Blue Milk is a must-try...I tried it twice so you know it's good I even had to purchase the souvenir cup which i'll introduce soon to you in my Sar Wars haul. </span></p></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyIzdY87-iuZq8pFIln_Usry3rpwQZQIWYM5BhuIDN_wU1FPskYbvQZNOLltwpX3FoRPB5lJl9h0nu7Pi3zNqVchxlSAHAMuSZon8fA_0B0tVkN-TyC91Q462lZ5osafloi0G5y8uXIIok3q9iyziZfAW5rtGlbyaTe0OAcU8tkD1CVfDOIMXvp4Ti/s4096/Millenium%20F%20collage%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyIzdY87-iuZq8pFIln_Usry3rpwQZQIWYM5BhuIDN_wU1FPskYbvQZNOLltwpX3FoRPB5lJl9h0nu7Pi3zNqVchxlSAHAMuSZon8fA_0B0tVkN-TyC91Q462lZ5osafloi0G5y8uXIIok3q9iyziZfAW5rtGlbyaTe0OAcU8tkD1CVfDOIMXvp4Ti/s16000/Millenium%20F%20collage%20.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2gfhVGDahVbpA32xw8orDcQwc2z3f-yIJLjB-L932YsXGnbRxPOg4G_lyO62dswEpkB-Xb2K0UZ3xdAaun3lSl1rRm1KRjyu2ZHiOej7cYlUhNOG7l9RBBPF0QVwtGn7KtZFVNRPA7ItUNA5NWNTO8S2tnqQy1n52ZiQVBubiacFUvYHqsDFsEV0/s4096/GridArt_20230512_104340496%5B19789%5D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2gfhVGDahVbpA32xw8orDcQwc2z3f-yIJLjB-L932YsXGnbRxPOg4G_lyO62dswEpkB-Xb2K0UZ3xdAaun3lSl1rRm1KRjyu2ZHiOej7cYlUhNOG7l9RBBPF0QVwtGn7KtZFVNRPA7ItUNA5NWNTO8S2tnqQy1n52ZiQVBubiacFUvYHqsDFsEV0/s16000/GridArt_20230512_104340496%5B19789%5D.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJJ_lmY6TMl4UeTZKukRXrvRwjBmqZKkuw7y1ALPXbtFMXZu-FyUMzKQz5vtT7Z6RzdXDrsNclyzxEhA3EGg4hqZIJuSk29lFkyDhcDUfN37CCMQjfsNpwlEuV-Mz3TlPn80XXkV-kWOjKfJaxc3o-OHgG0VdZpCVFaym1uH6f4M3bXoNiNFVfZjb/s4096/Crumb%20+%20Robot%20collage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJJ_lmY6TMl4UeTZKukRXrvRwjBmqZKkuw7y1ALPXbtFMXZu-FyUMzKQz5vtT7Z6RzdXDrsNclyzxEhA3EGg4hqZIJuSk29lFkyDhcDUfN37CCMQjfsNpwlEuV-Mz3TlPn80XXkV-kWOjKfJaxc3o-OHgG0VdZpCVFaym1uH6f4M3bXoNiNFVfZjb/s16000/Crumb%20+%20Robot%20collage.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLICOKPLooqQBijFla7WcKr8y7nIg5OUy60YVHv2jW4pVzK_0DoVnfpydBTn3tKZsGDyi9nEf4IyaDmhiGX13oUIse6JrnBvDsEMCwMTH7c1h6w_1RUJOLrMP6qwDfB0vicDNO2uUVCI6XRyyjkQ0F4J8AdrWY101rM8CwwhjAqDY1Bu3tQnGutw0/s4080/20230412_101505.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1836" data-original-width="4080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCLICOKPLooqQBijFla7WcKr8y7nIg5OUy60YVHv2jW4pVzK_0DoVnfpydBTn3tKZsGDyi9nEf4IyaDmhiGX13oUIse6JrnBvDsEMCwMTH7c1h6w_1RUJOLrMP6qwDfB0vicDNO2uUVCI6XRyyjkQ0F4J8AdrWY101rM8CwwhjAqDY1Bu3tQnGutw0/s16000/20230412_101505.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><span style="font-family: arial;">Overall, </span><b style="font-family: arial;">Star Wars Galaxy's Edge</b><span style="font-family: arial;"> is a must-visit for any Star Wars fan.

The charming towns with their colorful buildings and narrow streets offer a glimpse into the Italian way of life. </span></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="background-color: white;

This time around let me take you to Pompeii and Capri. Two destinations truly different but both as extraordinary. Altho having said that I have a soft spot for Pompeii for being even more mysterious and grand than what initially I anticipated.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Let's start with the world-famous Capri.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Capri is this little island in Italy's Bay of Naples Easy access from any port on the West coast of Italy and especially along the beautiful Amalfi coast. We took our ferry from Minori and two travel choice the fastest choice take you to Capri within an hour and the longest tour up to about 1hr and a half the difference its the longest tour its go around the island to show you all the beautiful site and this is </center><center style="text-align: justify;">the tour we choose and we have no regrets the experience was truly amazing. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><span><a name='more'></a></span><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>CAPRI</b></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Capri is widely known for, obviously, the stunning scenery <span style="text-align: left;">but also for his wealthy side from luxury brand stores such as Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Prada, etc along with luxury hotels that only the wealthy can offer as a night in Capri can go to to up to £1800/ per night. This leads me to explain that Capri unless you have the fund, can be very expensive, and even a small restaurant that does not seems luxurious can leave a bitter taste when the bill comes. So be aware of Capri's high cost of living, where a latte could cost you £10! (fact) but don't worry Capri can still be enjoyed even if you don't have the pocket of a multimillionaire. The island offers lots of stunning viewpoints that you can reach by foot or with a local cart which will cost you a few Euros and enjoy everything that Capri can offer you without spending pennies or maybe just a few euros. If you are concerned about the cost of lunch over there grab a picnic before your trip to Capri. The island offers many parks and benches with beautiful views where you could enjoy a lovely picnic while looking at a stunning sea view under lemon or Olive trees.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"> Capri is indeed absolutely stunning and I am truly blessed to have put my feet on this jewel of island. If you can visit it then I strongly recommend it.

What most of Pompeii's people didn't know it was a serious warning sign of what was to come later that day in this town of traders and Marchant. On that tragic day, the Volcano; Vesuvius, was no longer dormant and decided to wake up with a bang that was heard miles around and destroy all within minutes of its explosive eruption. </center><center style="text-align: justify;">We all heard and learn the story and we all wanted to a certain degree visit this famous city with our eyes. I had the amazing opportunity to set my feet in this city which I have to admit completely blew me away. It wasn't what I was expecting, I was imagining a town where only a few remanents of the city was existing. I was very wrong. To properly visit this city it will take you literally 3 days, according to our guide tour, we only stayed a few hours and only saw a fraction of this emblematic historic city. What really blew me away it's to see miles of paved streets ( see picture below) with markings of chariots engraved forever in the stones, but also see remnants of shops, where cold brew, olives, bread, and other delicacy were sold to passers-by, to see the remain of the house from the poor to the more fortunate, to see remain of mural painting from the cheeky 'red light district to master mansion. Everything blew me away! Everything has been restored and is still to this day in restoration, everything is surreal and absolutely mind-blowing, at some part I really thought I was living 2000 years in the past as this city was so full of history. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">If you haven't visited Pompeii I strongly recommend you do the visit at least once in your lifetime and i strongly advise to take a guided tour like we did, our guide tour lady was amazing and show us the tiniest details such as graffitis left on walls 2000years ago, etc that we would have missed if we were without her enthusiasm and knowledge, pay the extra and guide a tour guide to know all the secret of this amazing city. you won't regret it. </center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

To get there i highly recommend you get one of those bus tours as the access can be a bit difficult. Be warm that the climb on foot can be quite stiff and it will take you from 30 to 45 minutes so have the right shoes on, also no public toilets are available ( they shall really provide this basic service!!) so be warmed but apart from that once you arrive at the top of the crater be ready to be blown away. the crater is absolutely enormous in length but in deep too and to think that this crater was created by an immense explosion really blew me away. On a lucky day, you might see a few fumes coming out of the deep of the crater but on our visit day, none were to be seen. Vesuvius is, for now, dormant but is expected to wake up again at some point in our lifetime, don't worry it is under surveillance 24/7, and Naples (16 miles away from Vesuvius) people are trained to know what to do, and react the day this beast will wake up one more time.</center><center><br /></center></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhllQ3hY-NORP9vzyGJIx_3iSzPPzFQqfQ6iexpPBRXquiw_RjTTfRqBYthv8KLa8Y2ZrGlPHNlMfQSk6SMyCvaoLGi7AJ1bHZJnYzN_JA-Sq2nvxXFb4qdixZNVXtV3ASNzKwUvfbqRHkFVjR2tENXkyi3GztzTj0wEyiJ-ADfvProS6psmiAmYZiz/s4000/20221027_142312.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2250" data-original-width="4000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhllQ3hY-NORP9vzyGJIx_3iSzPPzFQqfQ6iexpPBRXquiw_RjTTfRqBYthv8KLa8Y2ZrGlPHNlMfQSk6SMyCvaoLGi7AJ1bHZJnYzN_JA-Sq2nvxXFb4qdixZNVXtV3ASNzKwUvfbqRHkFVjR2tENXkyi3GztzTj0wEyiJ-ADfvProS6psmiAmYZiz/s16000/20221027_142312.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9-Ed1sQLgadgD4lEh4W2a3l1OkrE_ngwD5X7FQ1VrFYzfnlQuWrvvPX82QgxEW5wW4gCejEl3FdTOObvD-wjLJbCReMQMLFL2BN_x5dtUs-hfptJZZgcS7fBjyfrTf488VxDQm1-860nd38uvzrtYOsPVf-OgE7lLvNT9_JNKSseooEMANRvj-UM/s3500/Vesuvios.jpeg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3500" data-original-width="2544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP9-Ed1sQLgadgD4lEh4W2a3l1OkrE_ngwD5X7FQ1VrFYzfnlQuWrvvPX82QgxEW5wW4gCejEl3FdTOObvD-wjLJbCReMQMLFL2BN_x5dtUs-hfptJZZgcS7fBjyfrTf488VxDQm1-860nd38uvzrtYOsPVf-OgE7lLvNT9_JNKSseooEMANRvj-UM/s16000/Vesuvios.jpeg" /></a></div><br /><center><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thanks for reading.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marie</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br />maries_connectionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107553785290119413noreply@blogger.com0Banbury, UK52.0629009 -1.33977523.752667063821157 -36.496025 80.373134736178855 33.816475tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264550700423432326.post-6772881509072753852023-01-25T13:45:00.013+00:002023-04-28T10:38:22.803+01:00Minori - Italian Holiday part I<center style="text-align: justify;">What more is to enjoy than going for a late summer holiday ( Oct 2022) to the Amalfi Coast in southern Italy.

The hotel we stayed at was the <b><a href="https://www.hotelvillaromana.it/" target="_blank">Villa Romana Hotel & SPA</a></b> a 4 stars hotel right in the middle of the main high street and only 3 minute walk to the beach.<div> The hotel staff was very welcoming and the hotel was more beautiful than I anticipated. Our room was extremely comfortable, clean, and with a touch of luxury that we enjoyed very much. Our room was very comfortable with all the amenities that you would expect in a 4 stars hotel along with a mini bar, room service, etc. we also had our own large balcony which we often used especially in the evening while sipping cocktails.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>We decided to go half board so buffet breakfast and 3-course meal in the evening. One thing that I will surely never forget about this hotel is the amazing staff and the food! As a food lover, this hotel shows us in many imaginable ways how amazing the Italian food is, not like I doubt of course but as it was my first trip to Italy I didn't know what to expect? Well, let me tell you every dishes we ate at this lovely restaurant was amazing. Just for this I highly recommend this hotel and make sure to stay half board or full board to try all their delicious meals, also let's remember that not once we ate the same things, each day was different and each day was a gustative delight.</div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Everybody is here from the family with running children to the grandparents to the Minori Youth and a few brave souls enjoying a last dip in the sea. We always enjoyed that time. Go for that beach walk and halfway through sit outside at one of the bars and enjoy a few colorful drinks with all the munchies that come with it for free, like tapas but the Italian way with big olives, sundried tomatoes on bread, rosemary crips, etc and we would easily spend a few hours people watch and taking all in from the warm sea air to the sunset that was always beautiful to capture. </div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBCg8XiECaeXkb4YYsL6hZEv29jO60nXrCOTGS_aeBe059H6FGm4p1DTO_FWGizNW7dtPuqcqWf5y0c9dFXjHWZABwRbFnhu85G6pFTIB67y7KmaZgqIaxpeNRen38H4o8vZJzA-soXq5jRLsx8dn63j_cKqkvuImpuarP0G87fqAWicbqm4Uo4gLb/s2999/20221028_080611%5B19260%5D.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2999" data-original-width="2250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBCg8XiECaeXkb4YYsL6hZEv29jO60nXrCOTGS_aeBe059H6FGm4p1DTO_FWGizNW7dtPuqcqWf5y0c9dFXjHWZABwRbFnhu85G6pFTIB67y7KmaZgqIaxpeNRen38H4o8vZJzA-soXq5jRLsx8dn63j_cKqkvuImpuarP0G87fqAWicbqm4Uo4gLb/s16000/20221028_080611%5B19260%5D.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcxyG84REBCdBP9vHqNN0iG16pbBBGCiUPWa4s4XQ6C_x8M717jkoeaBFVawWIoJqLTPVBaWrrxiZ9IM14GhmhUce68EJ6kvWnTrMB0Puumoz6etZDWCh0lzCAAtTyHqG7Z_5ST8Yk4xW53y0eSpJPgKsb9iH6nqyh7qZYul3JLqfgq0V7WOhhSIB/s3265/20221028_080937.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3265" data-original-width="2250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIcxyG84REBCdBP9vHqNN0iG16pbBBGCiUPWa4s4XQ6C_x8M717jkoeaBFVawWIoJqLTPVBaWrrxiZ9IM14GhmhUce68EJ6kvWnTrMB0Puumoz6etZDWCh0lzCAAtTyHqG7Z_5ST8Yk4xW53y0eSpJPgKsb9iH6nqyh7qZYul3JLqfgq0V7WOhhSIB/s16000/20221028_080937.jpg" /></a></div><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWgYqIiiSguE-B3S4PUcOG16fqrLgtbkcXeaOg7mLTHtRVZ_jhGqAoVDbJHBXFJM0ukS2vOReEyvIcSyHBwtJXalNq4eLA8YUiSGesx-At0sljkKm042xQ5YTjjViX4pmPByRCWwE9GPpGp7aIJ-WNdXkYiNSES4vpvY6YjwN5YbuUZ5XXTzUvOaY/s2000/Minori%20.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimWgYqIiiSguE-B3S4PUcOG16fqrLgtbkcXeaOg7mLTHtRVZ_jhGqAoVDbJHBXFJM0ukS2vOReEyvIcSyHBwtJXalNq4eLA8YUiSGesx-At0sljkKm042xQ5YTjjViX4pmPByRCWwE9GPpGp7aIJ-WNdXkYiNSES4vpvY6YjwN5YbuUZ5XXTzUvOaY/s16000/Minori%20.png" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>But Minori has more to offer than just a beach walk and bars and restaurants, if you're in the area or staying at one of the hotels in Minori I highly recommend the <b><a href="https://authenticamalficoast.it/en/the-path-of-lemons-the-trail-that-connects-maiori-to-minori/" target="_blank">Lemon Trail walk</a></b>. This trail walk used to be the path back before the Almafi coast road was built to join both beach towns: Minori to Maiori. We did the trail and took us over one hour let's not forget we had 5 years old with us but if you are child-free and use to long walk you probably could do that trail for less than one hour. But be warm the trail has lots of steps so gear up with your best shoes and light clothes, a bottle of water, and snacks. But I promise you that you'll never forget that trail as the view is just breathtaking and along the way, you will probably meet many 4 legs, local habitant, from lots of adorable kitties that may follow you halfway but also all sorts of lizards. And as you probably guessed the trail is full of lemon trees, but be warned those are not trees growing wild so do not pick up any lemons as a lot of people in the region still live from selling those lemons to markets or food producers. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdvQ2lHtNOMOCkWm-tG_HaD6RYlk1T4vKsgdT8-dhZNYJbETRnuawxZMujBoq4AEdcitAQchWruX5gKcQn9L9Yfcmz366aQoMkNRPQQmnrSZ_IUPrZX8Qri98v0whgcloRPXOPA2GGT7XTPYoqpKfsAkJ1PJ7CZvNK2bgDCJcMieCKyR7eDlUqd9Dr/s4000/20221024_161056.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2250" data-original-width="4000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdvQ2lHtNOMOCkWm-tG_HaD6RYlk1T4vKsgdT8-dhZNYJbETRnuawxZMujBoq4AEdcitAQchWruX5gKcQn9L9Yfcmz366aQoMkNRPQQmnrSZ_IUPrZX8Qri98v0whgcloRPXOPA2GGT7XTPYoqpKfsAkJ1PJ7CZvNK2bgDCJcMieCKyR7eDlUqd9Dr/s16000/20221024_161056.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLnD3YS1bW-x26aTKzZNu5YohFIriNg_mnxJirPmFhVPeT3UnAKmg3Ow_KUx1c554zkNRojufWen52c_Zfthd8DrhsjodS1dZjqabKRnL-k1Mg_Gye5jF3PD55SHzVjlLrqLLqLeaoXyj1KtIMFtUhd4XIODGG3CpNkQl-VcMgJnZLE4GbwnZJc1x/s2000/Minori%20lemon%20walk%20trail.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjfLnD3YS1bW-x26aTKzZNu5YohFIriNg_mnxJirPmFhVPeT3UnAKmg3Ow_KUx1c554zkNRojufWen52c_Zfthd8DrhsjodS1dZjqabKRnL-k1Mg_Gye5jF3PD55SHzVjlLrqLLqLeaoXyj1KtIMFtUhd4XIODGG3CpNkQl-VcMgJnZLE4GbwnZJc1x/s16000/Minori%20lemon%20walk%20trail.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2L8wzfEb1O3YiagWD_1PrviHDd3NzBmfodehybNv8_hU60MN0VODzhWwnwfGPTMxKLcs3maG5Av_003vhMgjkvhqjnIkSt_F37cb17hN28a2hkhT1I2nuQxx7m5sQLAabfhHNr2sfcXo0aY7rfumUTsdaqwWs9EsVi5Agzk2WxlRssO63hPM8KW9/s4000/20221025_095728.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhf2L8wzfEb1O3YiagWD_1PrviHDd3NzBmfodehybNv8_hU60MN0VODzhWwnwfGPTMxKLcs3maG5Av_003vhMgjkvhqjnIkSt_F37cb17hN28a2hkhT1I2nuQxx7m5sQLAabfhHNr2sfcXo0aY7rfumUTsdaqwWs9EsVi5Agzk2WxlRssO63hPM8KW9/s16000/20221025_095728.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div>One of the local restaurants that highly recommend but mostly for their famous dessert is<b><a href="https://www.salderisoshop.com/en/" target="_blank"> Sal De Riso</a></b>.

Minori boat service's outdoor office is located a few yards away from the pier and you cannot miss it where just like a bus service, you'll find back at home, they'll give you all the hours and destinations along with prices. It's a fun and quick way to go around and it's affordable. But if boats are not your thing then do not worry buses are also available at every hour of the day and also are affordable but I warmed you, Italian drivers are a little less cautious on the road than the rest of Europe and they absolutely LOVE the use of horns which is part of their culture! Be ready for a very chaotic and noisy ride but it's kind of part of the fun to see how Italian lives. Go for that ride it's crazy but yet had some fun on your holiday. (PS: if you suffer from car sickness I do not recommend it, the boat ride on the other hand is more peaceful) </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">And with that here is my little post about Minori but do not worry I'll be back soon with another post from our adventure in Italy.

I was then off to enjoy the HallypopFest and did not return to the hotel until much later than the night around 11.30pm. The hotel is literally at the most a 5 minutes walk from the main Wembley area so it felt safe even though the area was busy from all the other peeps just like me going to their hotel or local bus stops.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> I was given my hotel key as soon as I arrived and my suitcase was brought back to me within seconds. I barely wait. My room was large including a large desk, sofa, king-size bed, and all the other utilities including a mini-bar, tea and coffee area, hairdryer, etc.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> I found the room very comfortable and somehow rather elegant in its dark theme color. My only negative note is the window could not open, not like it was locked by accident but actually a window with no opening as such. I love sleeping with the window open but I guess this was done for safety measures? </center><center><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsy0mhSBGUpMP99qgvD6ORJz26IVme1QVU-RKPPd6RKV6fbk6l0WsXBCiDhikFJ7ap_7uWU-edFqJOZt2twDaP6XsYS7xAzAtee4RdZWzTLIRylKWpEWq3KKWKj77jg-cacNGGaALJ-Z8eCfS940BzinSXaam5DkMjIfdYa8Cnm3Xl0S-ngpGi3RZh/s4096/hotel%20room%20premier%20inn.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjsy0mhSBGUpMP99qgvD6ORJz26IVme1QVU-RKPPd6RKV6fbk6l0WsXBCiDhikFJ7ap_7uWU-edFqJOZt2twDaP6XsYS7xAzAtee4RdZWzTLIRylKWpEWq3KKWKj77jg-cacNGGaALJ-Z8eCfS940BzinSXaam5DkMjIfdYa8Cnm3Xl0S-ngpGi3RZh/s16000/hotel%20room%20premier%20inn.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqRAK4Jlmq_64ocea-z6cgOvOD0y3F9u9dNLHBhYzD0vSxuuuVIiLBKYfZNiWfcXdb8djGXzyEkSAcIX1nKziQMvTz0O50sSQYGWCiar5rq8MdTC1bZ6U28uUrXKDzK00gsb7AGoL24ekFFepoCC1pgUxgrM8Il9ry2svmnxkKXl_9jYERw5ekcMv/s4096/GridArt_20220817_101304991.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhnqRAK4Jlmq_64ocea-z6cgOvOD0y3F9u9dNLHBhYzD0vSxuuuVIiLBKYfZNiWfcXdb8djGXzyEkSAcIX1nKziQMvTz0O50sSQYGWCiar5rq8MdTC1bZ6U28uUrXKDzK00gsb7AGoL24ekFFepoCC1pgUxgrM8Il9ry2svmnxkKXl_9jYERw5ekcMv/s16000/GridArt_20220817_101304991.jpg" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEVeoTlAuRDPV2_dQOZW-yMwvPI4_tdz8fcbGTxdmQD4DCHNNMOP-o4yJrB1KdE_tM6je7a_zzvJpdwYg1oBcsReRGcuSCSz37afgQ0L7OMBstjhboUX2YkoA4kOQ1wqtRPwqZozVQzZOUUH8Zi1sOSbeTNSUSPuIzZIIJKP_0pKN1gdPCx0u9I8P/s2000/premier%20inn%20london%20Wembley%20loby%20collage%20.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiYEVeoTlAuRDPV2_dQOZW-yMwvPI4_tdz8fcbGTxdmQD4DCHNNMOP-o4yJrB1KdE_tM6je7a_zzvJpdwYg1oBcsReRGcuSCSz37afgQ0L7OMBstjhboUX2YkoA4kOQ1wqtRPwqZozVQzZOUUH8Zi1sOSbeTNSUSPuIzZIIJKP_0pKN1gdPCx0u9I8P/s16000/premier%20inn%20london%20Wembley%20loby%20collage%20.png" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8cq-rZCAqBSMHo8OYTdQwzlk0Ec_ivEWMhhnE3aLBT0OxSsBBiDHkYRBZQ1FfoldNkPKWDIu_1jBu4gFtSW7uYOPiFGucvtqzfM-sI0Nogj86cbEGpYJnfe45hfq3sVxkzPBAldhSZYgZkcnG2u6hWqlP8-kev4FMqpWJLULSJ7jgX2P97nDzUhaM/s3045/loby%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3045" data-original-width="2250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8cq-rZCAqBSMHo8OYTdQwzlk0Ec_ivEWMhhnE3aLBT0OxSsBBiDHkYRBZQ1FfoldNkPKWDIu_1jBu4gFtSW7uYOPiFGucvtqzfM-sI0Nogj86cbEGpYJnfe45hfq3sVxkzPBAldhSZYgZkcnG2u6hWqlP8-kev4FMqpWJLULSJ7jgX2P97nDzUhaM/s16000/loby%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div>The hotel offered a breakfast buffet not included in the price of your room. I decided to take advantage of the full buffet and pay the extra for it. The buffet was excellent I did not try all the yummy goodies but it was well filled for all tastes with a hot English breakfast selection, but also cereals, fruits, yogurts, a viennoiseries selection (croissant, pain au chocolate, etc), pancake ( yes that's right pancake too!) all sort of fruit juices (and the option to also make your fresh orange juice) all sort of little jams too, Nutella, toast, bagel, etc. you name it it was rather completed. Very clean, well indicated, and also come along with hot drink facilities (using fresh ground coffee). All had the system of 'eat as much as you like' but I only settle for bacon, sausage, yogurt, a toast, and a bowl of fresh fruits. The quality was good. Highly recommended. </div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRaWBqw81EKQLPan3MrnmKkSjYF2PpHgLiBulssO2DAzZdMhZ7wGa7idtKlfAdG-ErqkswepftIk_UUyiaDjYBSbo8O-NS9bcyvl1bpWpTKwHvEYwC7Jv73FecTLs7NJtfGlVB2n7ofo56mC3T1vfdgd96v7t710VoPZcA2oAimPnjnbIo_zNgV9_/s3326/breakfast%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3326" data-original-width="2238" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGRaWBqw81EKQLPan3MrnmKkSjYF2PpHgLiBulssO2DAzZdMhZ7wGa7idtKlfAdG-ErqkswepftIk_UUyiaDjYBSbo8O-NS9bcyvl1bpWpTKwHvEYwC7Jv73FecTLs7NJtfGlVB2n7ofo56mC3T1vfdgd96v7t710VoPZcA2oAimPnjnbIo_zNgV9_/s16000/breakfast%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVlQ8mxKmWYNtN6PACEGyksHInfpq0dpzC2MgpcFHLk7uwMJ8MJrP7Lp1gN9ISmN5HlmQDB8o1BZn3OPcbRzWIIh6CzhFlaEw1YGu81Hb6YCC16lNi_PIldtbgH0RW8FN4ysSYVQSZwC4bl6-nUWC-YgtsdeejRq1DHuuPZjXKZ6yxKK1_E0cS2py/s4096/breakie%20collage.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRVlQ8mxKmWYNtN6PACEGyksHInfpq0dpzC2MgpcFHLk7uwMJ8MJrP7Lp1gN9ISmN5HlmQDB8o1BZn3OPcbRzWIIh6CzhFlaEw1YGu81Hb6YCC16lNi_PIldtbgH0RW8FN4ysSYVQSZwC4bl6-nUWC-YgtsdeejRq1DHuuPZjXKZ6yxKK1_E0cS2py/s16000/breakie%20collage.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXszwH9NWOXVQZZ4aW2JjstSo5Ypl1OD-mtbgZ_72gkoqW3gENxX6MfbZWvTpcZzQz5hzm_EGdkqPGy_rwyZ2YZ7yTIbeIsRBXgHQXQrSNnbqrMKc23Msuci_1LApL5vV1oyY4dvDaK_N2H1rlAKJbn95EK1OJEpG3GZcVVT0RtWB6S1Ygssw1Q9a/s3059/buffet%20premier%20inn%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3059" data-original-width="2250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMXszwH9NWOXVQZZ4aW2JjstSo5Ypl1OD-mtbgZ_72gkoqW3gENxX6MfbZWvTpcZzQz5hzm_EGdkqPGy_rwyZ2YZ7yTIbeIsRBXgHQXQrSNnbqrMKc23Msuci_1LApL5vV1oyY4dvDaK_N2H1rlAKJbn95EK1OJEpG3GZcVVT0RtWB6S1Ygssw1Q9a/s16000/buffet%20premier%20inn%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Following my morning I decided to go straight to central London for two things:</div><div>1st of all to recreate Kai's Instagram picture at the Trafalgar Square that he did 24hrs earlier during the late evening ( yeah I know I am that sad) and secondly to visit my favorite store since the<b><a href="https://www.japancentre.com/en" target="_blank"> Japan Centre</a></b>. </div><div>Here is my picture in comparison to the one taken by Kai, I know the wrong time of the day but my time in London was counted (hello! to my off-peak train time ticket).

Japan Center is featuring a classic 'depachika' style (the Japanese word for a basement food hall) and I can ensure you from my japan travel in 2000 depachika are everywhere and very convenient for anything and everything. The Japan Center offered a wide variety of goods, from lifestyle, food, DIY kits, etc let's not forget the open kitchen and the central dine-in courtyard where you have to try their fresh sushi, bento box, and everything else in between. They also do have a website where you can order goodies, find it <b><a href="https://www.japancentre.com/en" target="_blank">here</a></b>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Of course, I came back home with a lot of goodies, </div><div><br style="text-align: left;" /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTwO4OGiGqrOQq4WlUQir-WrIRuRyblSNZAgzY4p14l82qIBZqbFNSTQ0-hyD5eWf_Hn8yxSSmJGoNH-_n1ET3-6c0usU4XzvfdRLUi_OInT2iuYBSRbBPFJeQaZ7xXg3ZO4aYlbHX-gqla0Z72sA4VrrztsuHAAjRNlA6lLkRRnd8iH0ubR-_BHz/s1600/japan-centre-london.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="1600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXTwO4OGiGqrOQq4WlUQir-WrIRuRyblSNZAgzY4p14l82qIBZqbFNSTQ0-hyD5eWf_Hn8yxSSmJGoNH-_n1ET3-6c0usU4XzvfdRLUi_OInT2iuYBSRbBPFJeQaZ7xXg3ZO4aYlbHX-gqla0Z72sA4VrrztsuHAAjRNlA6lLkRRnd8iH0ubR-_BHz/w640-h320/japan-centre-london.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT6b3pS3-28Qj-aJ07-zziKfLsC_gVZjFKu9IOk87J-6hlMPlMu-wGp-p0ug8OlziWWXHJ3GRIirEcwCNJne1aVnezazfRjZOljxRhSUIygDgV5ILZL97hAOpS4bUhRQjGSW91WECihnwff6MvU0sbiT84V1HAKZQ7p-OWMhta8rjU8OMTO4tZVhtL/s4096/japan%20i%20heart%20ramen.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjT6b3pS3-28Qj-aJ07-zziKfLsC_gVZjFKu9IOk87J-6hlMPlMu-wGp-p0ug8OlziWWXHJ3GRIirEcwCNJne1aVnezazfRjZOljxRhSUIygDgV5ILZL97hAOpS4bUhRQjGSW91WECihnwff6MvU0sbiT84V1HAKZQ7p-OWMhta8rjU8OMTO4tZVhtL/s16000/japan%20i%20heart%20ramen.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Z_aIM2r0ilJdecPKKCcw4RLjtPz2XDu_YiOuUoRDvNCCxF-DEDNtJNh0D3bVC93Nw_CbNwFvovBgF1hieoJp1ALNwP1HyVRPhar_Iwl5gv-KMVbmvzQJs0-9nKc6VdpFXBMci5K8OQ12KT8lWa4224MzwJUXF2SApHp8O_6PbbXD8NZVI0ezwlru/s1067/IMG_20220711_104725_963.webp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="923" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8Z_aIM2r0ilJdecPKKCcw4RLjtPz2XDu_YiOuUoRDvNCCxF-DEDNtJNh0D3bVC93Nw_CbNwFvovBgF1hieoJp1ALNwP1HyVRPhar_Iwl5gv-KMVbmvzQJs0-9nKc6VdpFXBMci5K8OQ12KT8lWa4224MzwJUXF2SApHp8O_6PbbXD8NZVI0ezwlru/s16000/IMG_20220711_104725_963.webp" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgy-GElr8zekllldmVmITvOorhoX3P9VoVuupOtahvYpZXzygVY_IsBI2XYM89uD-aGfZRj-nPdWsDamAGxQUjx_3fwHsTGbqjhel-zyru1c_lMAxtxWjMUFUrRggKpbu0HdkkxJygiih-eflXpSq3jvSOW0KyW04f8ausVcIqDCef3oQm0j-f_sz/s4096/GridArt_20220817_100745495.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4096" data-original-width="4096" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjSgy-GElr8zekllldmVmITvOorhoX3P9VoVuupOtahvYpZXzygVY_IsBI2XYM89uD-aGfZRj-nPdWsDamAGxQUjx_3fwHsTGbqjhel-zyru1c_lMAxtxWjMUFUrRggKpbu0HdkkxJygiih-eflXpSq3jvSOW0KyW04f8ausVcIqDCef3oQm0j-f_sz/s16000/GridArt_20220817_100745495.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div>Then it was time to say goodbye one more time to London and head toward Victoria station where my early train was waiting for me. <div><br /></div><div>I hope you like this little post.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for reading.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Marie</span></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /></div>maries_connectionshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17107553785290119413noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7264550700423432326.post-17030402566115389542022-08-16T08:43:00.013+01:002023-10-10T11:26:53.608+01:00HallyuPopFest London ' 22<center style="text-align: justify;">I am a KPOP fanatic, here I say it! I love Kpop and Jpop for years and no not since BTS altho I have nothing against them and if you are a Kpop fan you know very well this world is more than just them ! but way before their time and when I was a teen and my love for Korean and Japanese cultures came with watching anime and not long after with anything music-related.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Last weekend I attended my first even Kpop concert and let's say it was incredibly fun and a dream come true to see my favorite bias performing too. That artist is Kai or God Kai or Kim Jong-in whatever you like to call him from the SuperM and Exo groups. </center><center style="text-align: justify;">But before I talk all bout it, what not mention what is HallyopopFest Shall we?</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> it's a worldwide festival that travels the world to showcase many Kpop artists from big to newbies to all the <span style="text-align: left;">fans out there. Not only its usually two days of pure fun it also showcases on sites Korean food, beauty, and lifestyle for all ticket holders. As I am a huge fan of everything Korean from music to beauty to even dramas, of course, I was in my total element.</span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span><a name='more'></a></span><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0UeCdv3QvmSIrtgQ81ofo5IxE-hSgaO_KGaCh50oPb5Ajk_Zb300880REv6n4XXN-U6o4HzjjGltRQCeJOXBhN-_87ZvWIgO9SP3WeGsQpGKwc4pFfxOgKlOxDl4-FFl9NXeFIQHbzr_wzONspYMnHJrbJo5eCbOj6rEsyuFQj1I1zHZdxAvPStO/s3622/ovo%20arena%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3000" data-original-width="3622" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhu0UeCdv3QvmSIrtgQ81ofo5IxE-hSgaO_KGaCh50oPb5Ajk_Zb300880REv6n4XXN-U6o4HzjjGltRQCeJOXBhN-_87ZvWIgO9SP3WeGsQpGKwc4pFfxOgKlOxDl4-FFl9NXeFIQHbzr_wzONspYMnHJrbJo5eCbOj6rEsyuFQj1I1zHZdxAvPStO/s16000/ovo%20arena%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0v3CjPll49WFKeQ3zV2rFg5vm6GqyvOvi6eJLsd4_Qf67RdN8XYuBZAB84vf1WOID1uItpsuVth94ObryrbEUrZHfI_VpApEzySoU-9LmbrN49G5uVrQOGqpk7VrIcZuSqxmiSyeDKe6nWAUgZ8yzDBALjTpsGT3TssdG09ShVwkOmKHzpP2nY3cw/s1530/hallupopfest%20Chen%20and%20Kai%20%20POSTER%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1530" data-original-width="1077" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0v3CjPll49WFKeQ3zV2rFg5vm6GqyvOvi6eJLsd4_Qf67RdN8XYuBZAB84vf1WOID1uItpsuVth94ObryrbEUrZHfI_VpApEzySoU-9LmbrN49G5uVrQOGqpk7VrIcZuSqxmiSyeDKe6nWAUgZ8yzDBALjTpsGT3TssdG09ShVwkOmKHzpP2nY3cw/s16000/hallupopfest%20Chen%20and%20Kai%20%20POSTER%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><span style="text-align: left;">The festival happens from the weekend of the 9th til the 10th of July. Unfortunately, I couldn't go on both days but I decided to get the VIP ticket for Sunday instead, as I was missing one day I decided to have it all out for at least one day could go.</span></center><center style="text-align: left;"> So what my VIP ticket has in offer for me and my fellow Kpop fellows. </center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>VIP Ticket holder:</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"> Goodie bag from the Korean market. in my goodie bag, I could find some full-size Korean skincare products, Korean Kpop stickers, my lanyard for my VIP pass and also my pass for a meet and greet for one of the groups of my choice, HallyuTown access, the red carpet access pass and of course, the best sit on the house few feet away from the stage.</center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;">On Sunday the lineup was as follows:</center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>SF9</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>kep1er</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>CIX</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>Cravity</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>Weeekly</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>Paul Kim</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b>Kai</b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></center><center style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="font-size: medium;">HallyuTown </span></u></center><center style="text-align: center;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">The area was located about 5 - 7 minutes' walk from the OVO Arena. HallyuTown showcases Korean products and sells merchandise. The area was also where all VIP ticket holders were to collect their Meet and Greet lanyard and their goodie bag. Unfortunately, due to an issue with transport that was unexpected, (it took me over 3 hours to travel to OVO Arena when technically it shall have taken me 45 minutes) I did not get the time to properly enjoy this area which really upset me as I am a hardcore fan of Korean goodies especially anything beauty related and food. I only had the time to pick up my lanyard and have a quick overview of the area before it was already time to queue for the red carpet event. So Unfortunately I can not tell you much about it or give you an overview of all the Korean products present that day :(</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDYUEXAZJ8I32irY1P923qZW_uj00cxuHZ8g9diR6faJmAAeHZ77Z6LTQUnsYFE8R8qGHeWvPrnixo7OA6bcEkCFCW-I8RniKYYey2Bh6pNzguaYTKqoUVvehGLrPjfJVMfk5XkZxWL5Wzs_ehMXe8jMqxsZtZuZ0cWn0R3R1pMqSIHW4PDhkEsGw/s1627/hallyutown%20sky%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1627" data-original-width="959" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcDYUEXAZJ8I32irY1P923qZW_uj00cxuHZ8g9diR6faJmAAeHZ77Z6LTQUnsYFE8R8qGHeWvPrnixo7OA6bcEkCFCW-I8RniKYYey2Bh6pNzguaYTKqoUVvehGLrPjfJVMfk5XkZxWL5Wzs_ehMXe8jMqxsZtZuZ0cWn0R3R1pMqSIHW4PDhkEsGw/s16000/hallyutown%20sky%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDhAawWBysmpNiGCg-GKTEcDezh3PjMf9ct6O4MHE4ty3YPedY4pitQ8xR2uOzE6ufkdqNYs1vWE1iOWkp5vFqv9gZEehJss1veAH3ClNClq8kC-FzRZZueEKq2Jklhwi0eYnRvEkpqQVvZdGEx1a9hYNG29kPPQaeHKmbn-EeexTfK5e6TEREyFa/s3121/hallyutown%20beauty%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3121" data-original-width="2978" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUDhAawWBysmpNiGCg-GKTEcDezh3PjMf9ct6O4MHE4ty3YPedY4pitQ8xR2uOzE6ufkdqNYs1vWE1iOWkp5vFqv9gZEehJss1veAH3ClNClq8kC-FzRZZueEKq2Jklhwi0eYnRvEkpqQVvZdGEx1a9hYNG29kPPQaeHKmbn-EeexTfK5e6TEREyFa/s16000/hallyutown%20beauty%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Ao4ua549z2ev9bhHOmDq357BOviMP5yWV-gaW4OspdXwL3v3ZXb6aPw-y6uuopSuzzr4UOVnu8AFBJs5qPRRnXQg71RUbwF9oRmofyw5R0fnwu2icDwS2UXU9MnuhKeb44oZislkDz5LJz-2pPYzssRyKbSEIh8oHwuA-BrJNFlOkSGCKi2Fz4RZ/s1718/hallyutown%20market.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1718" data-original-width="1176" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0Ao4ua549z2ev9bhHOmDq357BOviMP5yWV-gaW4OspdXwL3v3ZXb6aPw-y6uuopSuzzr4UOVnu8AFBJs5qPRRnXQg71RUbwF9oRmofyw5R0fnwu2icDwS2UXU9MnuhKeb44oZislkDz5LJz-2pPYzssRyKbSEIh8oHwuA-BrJNFlOkSGCKi2Fz4RZ/s16000/hallyutown%20market.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: left;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Red Carpet: </u></span></center><center style="text-align: left;"><b><br /></b></center><center style="text-align: left;">The event started at about 2pm with the famous red carpet where of each group/artist with an interview of approximately 10-15 minutes for each artist.

Of course! and our last artist is Kai who is the headliner act of this Sunday 10th of July event. No need to introduce Kai anymore from the world-famous Exo group and SuperM kai is known for being one of the best dancers in the Kpop industry and its 1st mini album <b><a href="https://soundcloud.com/l2share/sets/kai-mmmh-the-1st-mini-album" target="_blank">Mmmh </a></b>is the fastest-selling 1st album in Kpop history. His first solo single Mmmmh (which is one of my favorites) has over 121 Million views on YouTube which is unseen for a first solo Kpop album. Check it out <b><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fc-fa6cAe2c" target="_blank">here</a></b>.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> His nickname: God Kai and as a massive fan, this clearly suits him so well from his impeccable fashion sense, his kindness, the amazing dance move that got him to be known to be the best dancer in the industry, and of course his music makes him one of the most successful artists in the industry. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">I am not going to lie but for me coming to Hallyupopfest London 2022 was of course to meet SF9, Cravity, etc which I really love but Kai was really why I was here. The man did not disappoint us with his humble self, his shy smile, and his stage presence. After its red carpet walk, he went on the red carpet stage where he was interviewed, I have to admit I remember little of the interview let's say I was under his spell also did I mention that it was the first time seeing him so of course I was very emotional and could not believe he was there. I always wanted to see him or at least once in my life and let's say it was a dream come true.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> After his interview, he left backstage and I was all emotional and already I could not wait to see him again that day for the evening concert.</center><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

But overall it was nice to be able to meet them even if it was short but definitely sweet to be very close to the artists.</div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Showcase and Evening Concert:</u></span></div><div><br /></div><div>After the Meet and Greet event, we were kindly asked to get to our designated area, mine was the VIP side front stage sit. I do regret not having taken the standing front row (it was the same price) but because of my anxiety, I was worried the crowd would be too much for me turned out this area was not busy as I thought but of course, in this kind of event you never know how it will end. Despite this slight disappointment my sit was perfectly fine and rather clothe on the stage, even so, my picture taken doesn't really translate that it looks like I am further away. It was a great sitting surrounded by lovely ladies and a few gents.</div><div><br /></div><div>The Stage event was divided into 2, the 1st act was what Happyupopfest called the: <b>Showcase </b>followed by the main evening concert. The purpose of the Showcase was mostly to introduce to the British public two artists or in this case one artist and one female group which were Paul Kim and Weeekly. Both acts sang some of their best hits and interacted with games with the public which was rather very fun and it feel like we were closer to both acts. </div><div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-DQ7kgRWnVqnMZx1vKgN59wRLbGszcVhiYVy_W46RKAGXNON1if7V_34rH6_aX5z-q-65GveVuvSjHkFfjouNnXPCGYKDlmLsH0MnBe4Jq0-cm81jEUrktWX-L_2m5JCqJQFwSAD-5kypdla0ZRY2bLd6kFS8rzHej1LT0tdZCIKGuyPb-XxbkWg/s2048/cravity%20bts.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZ-DQ7kgRWnVqnMZx1vKgN59wRLbGszcVhiYVy_W46RKAGXNON1if7V_34rH6_aX5z-q-65GveVuvSjHkFfjouNnXPCGYKDlmLsH0MnBe4Jq0-cm81jEUrktWX-L_2m5JCqJQFwSAD-5kypdla0ZRY2bLd6kFS8rzHej1LT0tdZCIKGuyPb-XxbkWg/s16000/cravity%20bts.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2lnWnxLC415sZ-YnqjFnKdbieJvsh-yxHK3lQjYUemwLecKfAsNdX1CoOlN0CAMXJXvZvagUFNhopoJdiRVVBY9bIJdQQ-8Agm9wOR_5qPpyejZ8dw79IbH2lwTBYQsXQMA26i7WZ-axMB2NQq8ivGhvRwfrNcEI89qf7d3iOI9b52CUWSz47zdMr/s1080/sf9%20before%20stage%20.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="790" data-original-width="1080" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh2lnWnxLC415sZ-YnqjFnKdbieJvsh-yxHK3lQjYUemwLecKfAsNdX1CoOlN0CAMXJXvZvagUFNhopoJdiRVVBY9bIJdQQ-8Agm9wOR_5qPpyejZ8dw79IbH2lwTBYQsXQMA26i7WZ-axMB2NQq8ivGhvRwfrNcEI89qf7d3iOI9b52CUWSz47zdMr/s16000/sf9%20before%20stage%20.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGom1MLs6jrZ_UQk0HpmnBgqGJbB1_5rNy2eSc5ObkPq5njYtooHF_Y0hhX6IWsbXWqOnBPPK9sKG4oedCLXVsivUhEEZ8Pzmod83QXU0izJsZP9ckvHL8qIkCH1DTA6wzLuFS7ZRwWfW5ZSIxoYQAPfCxdbegJTdU-L9sSZcwzHeYyAWugGUgXIAt/s4000/popcorn%20kai.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="3000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGom1MLs6jrZ_UQk0HpmnBgqGJbB1_5rNy2eSc5ObkPq5njYtooHF_Y0hhX6IWsbXWqOnBPPK9sKG4oedCLXVsivUhEEZ8Pzmod83QXU0izJsZP9ckvHL8qIkCH1DTA6wzLuFS7ZRwWfW5ZSIxoYQAPfCxdbegJTdU-L9sSZcwzHeYyAWugGUgXIAt/s16000/popcorn%20kai.jpg" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkJlFyZOkBZR6fKFY6M3fUsEkurXKQNTHiJzRdakX1ovhni1jlITKHNAo2bprh5ckh9o1y-eYeVVpxYUcykWZFbyR7DX7qsVVtYL5VN0e67YdXeecV5KnF0Ut-IUACLmojkqqi4JaZaUITAyW8mAeLhpzl9Dj2qwhmDo0Gpau-soiJLEsSE_GhkVJh/s2000/Kai%20and%20Yoo.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2000" data-original-width="2000" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkJlFyZOkBZR6fKFY6M3fUsEkurXKQNTHiJzRdakX1ovhni1jlITKHNAo2bprh5ckh9o1y-eYeVVpxYUcykWZFbyR7DX7qsVVtYL5VN0e67YdXeecV5KnF0Ut-IUACLmojkqqi4JaZaUITAyW8mAeLhpzl9Dj2qwhmDo0Gpau-soiJLEsSE_GhkVJh/s16000/Kai%20and%20Yoo.png" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u><br /></u></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><u>Evening Concert:</u></span></div></div><div><br /><div>For the main event, we got to see again: Paul Kim and Weeekly (which sounds a bit repetitive as they sang again same songs during the showcase but I still enjoy seeing them a second time). even so, they were featured in the showcase, followed by SF9, Cravity, Kep1er, CIX, and the last stage: Kai.</div><div><br /></div><div>All Kpop groups show a variety of moves unique to their styles and I didn't get bored at all, from their stage presence, their interaction with us to their fantastic outfits, their music, and well the whole thing as a whole went above my expectation.

He arrived and as expected the whole concert hall went absolutely insane, something I rarely heard or seen. </div><div>It was vibration everywhere from our hearts to our feet to our eyes. Kai was here and he was to put on a hell of a show for us starting with one of his hits from his second mini album Peaches which obviously the whole public went bonkers while singing to his beautiful mellow voice followed by his hypnotic Reason single. Despite a trouser accident, which made us all laugh ( well just imagine where it was located) but thankfully for Kai, he was wearing black underwear so it was all good. he came back about 10 minutes later with new trousers apologizing for the delay along with a shy cheeky smile that only Kai know how to.</div><div>His pell presence carry on with Mmmh which was absolutely amazing and Hello Stranger. The man was hypnotic and his presence magical but unfortunately the end was near.</div><div>Each artist came back on stage for a final goodbye as a whole. Kai arrived last and once again got the scream and excitement that he deserved.</div><div>Despite a few hiccups, the Hallyopopfest London edition delivered and I will certainly be back. </div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

In the past few years getting your hand in Japanese or Korean skincare has become easier than before and of course, I really enjoy that. </center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Lately, I purchased this <b><a href="https://ohklife.com/" target="_blank">Oh!K</a></b> Soothing Face Lotion, I thought the design was rather fun, and being the hot season right now the mention of 'soothing' got me excited. But before going any further let's talk about <b><a href="https://ohklife.com/" target="_blank">OhKlife</a> </b>the brand.</center><center style="text-align: justify;">4 points they are proud to report are:</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><i><b> Made in Korea</b></i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>Cruelty free </b></i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>Clean</b></i><i><b> </b></i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><i><b>Hard working Ingredients</b></i></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> All this implied that they formulate products that promote healthy skin and protect the skin barrier, tested by real people with real skincare issues with real results. Their clean consciousness means they are also conscious of developing sustainable products by banning +1500 ingredients that do not regulate by EU standards and let's not mention they do not retouch any of their photography on their website or advertising. Do you know many skincare brands that promise this? well, not a lot but we are getting there one step at a time, and I cannot wait when all forms of picture retouch would be banned.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">Have been using the<b><a href="https://ohklife.com/" target="_blank"> oh!K </a></b>Soothing Face Lotion for a few weeks now and it become very quickly one of my favourite skincare products to apply daily.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> What I love about it it s the generous amount you get from the product but most importantly it does what it says on the tin, It's soothing as soon as you applied it, describing it is difficult but it feels like when you remove your make up after a long day well it's kind of that but in a cream form. Very soothing, not greasy, does not leave any sticky marks, and it's super absorbent. I tend to put rather a good amount and my skin has no issue absorbing it while leaving behind hydrated and soft skin. we love it.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;">The scent is very subtle and almost inexistent. </center><center style="text-align: justify;">One of the two key ingredients is: White tea which is a source of antioxidant, prevent acne, and help with sunburn. The next ingredient is Zinc which like white tea prevents acne, also known to help to prevent skin cancer, and many more benefits of all kinds for your skin.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOH8EfTYLHEAaZQWvQIVg0lZEKt-DAUf9jxO_iS1aDU74cVCWQp1TLFjVPL3ga4Kkav6heAx-CNldJ8-xO4DgQsFA_i664o7zgXP6VXUoROPBFN0FXIvejrOkGGvn2icUsaTph94ckEXnj7VCjsB9_u-8296WV9JIGYMymuaCGezXcBuL_z6OD1Vw/s4000/oh!k%20soothing%20face%20cream%20skincare%20blogger.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="2250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiOH8EfTYLHEAaZQWvQIVg0lZEKt-DAUf9jxO_iS1aDU74cVCWQp1TLFjVPL3ga4Kkav6heAx-CNldJ8-xO4DgQsFA_i664o7zgXP6VXUoROPBFN0FXIvejrOkGGvn2icUsaTph94ckEXnj7VCjsB9_u-8296WV9JIGYMymuaCGezXcBuL_z6OD1Vw/s16000/oh!k%20soothing%20face%20cream%20skincare%20blogger.jpg" /></a></div><br /><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><b>Do I like this product?</b></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Yes! very much for the quality of the product and for what this brand believes.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><br /></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> <b>Would I purchase it again?</b></center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Yes for sure if the occasion arises.</center><center style="text-align: justify;"><b><br /></b></center><center style="text-align: justify;"><b>Would I recommend</b> <b><a href="https://ohklife.com/" target="_blank">Oh!K</a></b>?</center><center style="text-align: justify;"> Yes absolutely.
