A Journey in Search of Korea's Beauty by Bae Yong Joon

I. Am. Absolutely. Impressed.!

i've just finished the book and those four words were what came into mind as soon as i closed the book.

culture, travel, journey, life, smile, fun, reality, laughter, education, eye-opener, food, alcohol, wine, satisfaction, enjoyment, friendship, sharing, respect, gratitude, history, family........

i don't know. there seemed to be no end to vocabularies if i were to describe what i gather from the read or how i feel about the book and of course what i think of BYJ having read his writting.

all i know now is that i'm having a thousand..maybe not, hundreds of '?' and opinions and plans as a result of the reading.

but i really got to say this first. i really, really, really, enjoyed reading the book! i was already expecting something really good but this is way WAY beyond what i was having in mind.

so for those of you out there who have yet to get a copy, be it in the original Korean, Japanese, Chinese or the English version, make sure you do NOW. i guarantee you, you will never be disappointed.

you may think i am being pro-BYJ but trust me, there'll be no regret. you'll just have to read it for yourself.

to dear YJnim, thank you very much for the postcard.
