SHU'S TRAVEL DIARY
ROAMING IN INK


Switzerland Day 9: From Grindelwald to Lake Brienz | Iseltwald, Giessbach Falls & Grandhotel Giessbach
13 June 2024 A SLOW MORNING AT ASPEN, GRINDELWALD I woke up to another beautiful morning in Grindelwald. Since it my last morning at Aspen Alpin Lifestyle Hotel, I decided to spend some time outdoors, soaking in the fresh mountain air and enjoying the scenery before checking out. I simply sat outside my room, admiring the mountains in the distance. There was something incredibly peaceful about doing absolutely nothing. No rushing from one attraction to another, no worrying ab

Korea Day 9: Back to Rafre Fuit for Strawberry Cake and a Secret Door in Seongsu Darak
22 March 2026 BACK TO SEOUL I took the KTX back to Seoul, and where did I go first? Seongsu, of course. My third time there on a nine-day trip. I think it’s safe to say I have a favourite neighbourhood! STRAWBERRY CAKE AT RAFRE FRUIT I wanted to give Rafre Fruit another try after seeing the queue on my previous visit and deciding against it. This time I went closer to opening. There was still a queue, but it was much more manageable. The café is known for its seasonal fruit d

Korea Day 8: A Relaxing Last Day in Busan, from Coralani to Spa Land
Day 8 in Korea, and my last full day in Busan! I wanted to take things slowly and enjoy a little more of what I’d loved about the city: cute shops, cafés and the sea. The day turned out to involve quite a lot of sitting back and relaxing, with brunch at 6ongone, dessert overlooking the water at Coralani, and a visit to Spa Land before ending the evening with the Gwangalli drone show. MORNING STROLL AROUND GWANGALLI NEIGHBOURHOOD I started with a walk around the neighbourhood

Korea Day 7: Seaside Cafés, Seagulls and a Sunset Sky Capsule Ride in Busan
A PERFECT MORNING I managed to wake up early enough to catch the sunrise, and wow. Even before the sun appeared, the sky looked like a painting, with soft colours stretching across the sea. Definitely worth waking up for. Before the sun appeared, the sky already looked like a painting. So glad I woke up for this. Then came the sun, casting a golden trail across the water beside Gwangan Bridge. Wow. Then I went back to sleep. It was still quite cold in the morning, so I decide

Korea Day 6: Gamcheon Culture Village, Huinnyeoul Culture Village, Cute Cafés and Sea Views in Busan
19 March 2026 Day 6 began just the way I wanted: waking up naturally, with no alarm and a beautiful view of Gwangalli Beach outside my window. Then it was time to head out for breakfast. I woke up to this. BRUNCH AT WORKING HOLIDAY I went to Working Holiday, a spacious brunch café overlooking the beach. Despite the many seats, every one seemed to be taken when I arrived! I waited around for a little while and eventually managed to get a window seat. What a lovely start. Order
