Jisan Valley in Instagram

This past weekend I went to Jisan Valley Rock Festival in Icheon, Korea.  Radiohead, James Blake and The Stone Roses headlined and I took some Instagram pictures for Chincha.  Here are some of my favourites.

Radiohead on the Big Top Stage.

They weren't selling them at the festival, but heart-shaped sunnies seemed to be a trend this year (and one I accidentally got involved in).

Daum Music and Dr. Marten's promotional balloons against a beautiful, sunny sky. The weather was so hot.

Lomography promotional merchandise.  Jisan is far too commercially-biased.

Another Radiohead shot.  I took this just before having to stumble out of the crowd due to feeling faint :/

Brittney, Rina and Tonya.

Kimchi pots outside my friends' pension (a room with a bathroom and floorspace for plenty of people to crash).

Decorated bollards.

A pop-up cocktail bag stall from the famous Vinyl bar in Hongdae.

Wristbands. One for entry, one for camping, one for alcohol. 

Gorgeous flowers and a naked-seeming man in the corner who looks like a nude pixie.

The crowd at emo pop rock band Motion City Soundtrack's main stage set.

All pictures by me @tallullahelle on Instagram.

A Day at the Han

I've been learning Photoshop.  Or rather, my boyfriend has and I've been watching him miraculously transform my dull photography with a few clicks of a mouse.

All these photos were taking at the Han River Park in Seoul, near Yeouido Station.  My friend and I spotted the pool on a tandem bike ride beside the river.  Can't wait to go check it out once it stops pouring with rain.

Hong Kong Timelapse

I have a mini addiction to timelapse videos, particularly when their focus is on a specific city.  I like the way you can almost soak up the atmosphere of a place, in just a few minutes, by whizzing through time videographically (yeah, I made that word up) on screen.  

Since Hong Kong is on my must-travel list this film really resonated with me.

I'm getting itchy feet.

2NE1 I Love You

I can't stop listening to this song.  It's pure, unadultered pop music. Delicious for the ears. 

2ne1 are seriously making waves outside of Korea with their Korean language tracks.  When I was in South East Asia in January Kpop was everywhere.

June in Instagram

June flew by.  The weather was perfect and I spent my weekends either chilling or exploring.  

July's monsoon season has now begun, as regular as clockwork, and I already want to go back to last month.

The last day of June brought miserable weather, making me cancel my beach trip : (

This is a new outfit I bought that cost me about 12 quid.  Shoes included.

Mandu (Chinese style dumplings) at the takeaway restaurant near work.

Delicious ice cream at a Patbingsu shop. The packaging lies: it wasn't really strawberry flavoured.

I went on a three day course to the mountains east of Seoul.  I managed to get in a tiny hike so it wasn't all bad.

Boyfriend outside a coffee shop.

A neon picture I took of a condom/ sex shop in Hongdae for Chinchagram.

A display at ALAND, the best chain shop in Korea.

My absolute dream bike.
