After a long discussion about “Where I want to celebrate my 30. Birthday?” we came up with the idea to spend this special day in Seoul – one of our favorite cities in the world. Around two years ago we’ve already been in Seoul and I fell in love with the city, the culture and the food. Let me show you how we spend my special day…

It all started with delicious breakfast in our traditional Korean home.
Next Stop: Gangnam – the hipster district full of weird things.
Some things are more weird than others.
Our goal was this weird fruit store.
Because a birthday needs a little gift.
And of course a cake – I went for the non-korean Gugelhupf.
A happy couple ready for the evening program.
The evening program was fine traditional Korean temple food and French fizzy water.
Some people think the food is really good – we agree.
Best tomato ever!
Traditional Temple Food is always vegan and comes in many small dishes – a sacred experience!
There is a lot of zen to this dessert.
The nearby temple even had a lantern festival.
What a beautiful way to honor my birthday.
Spiritual happiness achieved.
A little night stroll to walk off the fizzy water.
And finally, 막걸리 in our favorite bar to properly end the day.

I hope this gave a small glimpse into the day. Thanks to everyone who made it special to me with video- and voice-calls, messages or just thinking into my general direction. It was a truly unique and wonderful day. Even though I missed my family a lot <3

  1. Ey Katja, alles Gute nachträglich! Super schöne Fotos, nur: die Kniestrümpfe mit Sandalen sind schon etwas grenzwertig… aber was weiß ich schon über Fashion…
