I’m on a #kdrama pilgrimage today, visiting the noodle shop from Nevertheless and most importantly, the railway crossing from #MyMister, a leading character in the show. This is a super cute and trendy area with upscale cafés and restaurants side by side with very old and tiny houses and businesses.

@EllenInEdmonton Daebak! So cool.
Better than the #CLOY pier in Switzerland where you now have to pay to get on (not my pic, bc I did not visit when I was in the area but I heard people stand in line to get on)

@mel Haha, and then there’s the Goblin door in Quebec City! It was a place that I really wanted to see for myself. Everywhere is so 3D here

@EllenInEdmonton Oh, yes, but the rail road crossing wins!

@mel @EllenInEdmonton
Beautiful photos !

Reminding me of this :
Y'all might consider a trip to Amsterdam Centraal Station and do what Ha Ji Won did in 2012. Rent a bike and tour in the area around the city . You might have to be quick, millions reading this will soon line up !

There was a subbed clip once , can´t find it now.
Nice to imagine a Korean Super Idol walking and cycling around with nobody recognizing her. It was 2012, things might be different now.

Question for Ellen: We will soon be in Aberfeldy, Scotland. I can´t find the post about your heritage there anymore. Do you want to have pictures or info from there ?

Ah, my Campbell clan is from Breadalbane and the family estate was in Aberfeldy. My family spent a very soggy day there when I was 11. I have a pretty clear mental picture of the place but up-to-date photos would be cool. Robbie Burns was apparently rather creative in the place, a point of pride, obviously.

@hanktank61 @mel Her hair and clothing are rather perfectly styled for someone who’s travelling by bicycle but I suppose she did it with a crew. Hopefully, they also travelled by bike.
It looks inviting but I’ve been telling everyone this is my 마지막 여행, my last trip, at least across an ocean. I may feel differently after life is back to normal but the logistics, cost, and energy required are nothing to sniff at.

@EllenInEdmonton @mel Ha Ji Won 's trip was for an Elle promotional tour if I remember well.
South Korea might be one step too far for us. Budget and condition.
Looking for next year already, hoping to go to Canada again, and include Toronto Koreatown.

Korea is amazing but even with intensive preparations, it’s a lot to manage. I’m ecstatic that I still have my passport, phone, and credit card and that I was never seriously lost, ill, or injured.
Every year that goes by, these things will become more challenging.
Travelling where you have family and friends solves a lot of potential problems.
