Hi Lovelies,

at the moment I have summer vacations and in this time I am able to read more often. While I read this book I thought about you and now I will do a short book recommendation for you. I hope you are interested in literatur about asia?? :)

I plan on writing more about book's with the content of Korea and Japan, since I always wanted to travel to Korea one day.

So it was one of these fine day's when I wanted to start doing something for my plan. Because of money and not beeing fluent in language I am a bit inhibited so I decided I shoulld start my plans with buying a guidebook. At the book store I found this book to avoid unpleasant situations, wich is kind of written as a storry. I was so excited that I bought it right away... :D

Text on the backside of the book:
It can happen that in Korea people trow salt at you, or your boss is feeding you or some strangers in public transportations will take away your bag - all neat thing's, these people simply wanna make you more compfortable. Men with make up are not rare, but dog's  to eat are not common. Andyou should always take your deodorant with you on a trip to Korea because you will be the only person hwo needs this. Korea is a unknown place for us (in this situation I think he means the german people haha) and it is absolutely common for us to get into unpleasant situations. Also collage student Julia and internshipmen Nico are really bballi bballi as the korean people would say be because of the every day life in Korea. They come from temple to wedding to burial to red-light district. In these situation's it is pretty normal to do something wrong. But luckily the korean people are really friendly and forgive these mistakes. Because you also know: even a monkey can fall from a tree.




 It's a bigger book serie where each book is about a different country. In the picture abouf you can see as an example the China version and I also have read the book about Japan. 

 

In total there are two story's, from Julia and from Nico. And I think they have they're problems in the beginning but in the end they have grown a lot and are able to understand the korean people so much better. They are so sad after they have left Korea.

 

This book is written in german language, but I don't really know if you can buy it in english, too. If you know please let me know!! Or do you have similar book's in your country's language??

In the beginning of the book is also an map of Korea, where you can follow in the story and see where our hero's are right now.

In the following you can see how the capitle is: 

In the end it is always interesting to see wich mistakes Julia or Nico have done. Sometimes you realize that they have done something wrong but couldn't say how to make it correct. The writer of the book also has 3 different headlines for "good job" "you can make it betther" and "everything went wrong" in korean language. It's really fun.

In general korean people are different to german people in lifestyle, speaking, family, wedding, culture, history... but especially in the last point I also could see that there are some similarity's. The people there are always nice to Julia and Nico. They help them and forgive mistake's. Because of this book I am more and more willing to travelk to Korea one day but time and everything... who can know this right now??? :D
But I will inform you about everything! <333

Also I am planning on reading more book's of this row. I am really interested in Vietnam and Thailand. I hope these book's are as much fun to read as this book was.
 

I hope you like this literature recommendation. If you also want to recommend me some book's just let me know. I want to write about the Japan and China book as well so not miss this post make shure to follow me on  facebook and twitter. <33


 

Concert Diary B.A.P 2017 World Tour "Party Baby"

Concert Diary B.A.P 2017 World Tour "Party Baby"

by Rosalie

Hi Babys,
this year again, B.A.P is comming to Europe for the concert tour "Party Baby", and they are also comming to GERMANY!!!! YEIIIIII <333 To be more specific, they are comming to Frankfurt /Main, on 5th May. Me, my sister and my friend we went last year to the "awake" tour in Dusseldorf, too. So of course as german BABY's we are going to the concert this year,too. And I thought it would be fun to write a concert diary about it again, too, for BABY's who went for their first time to a concert to get some impressions beforehand.

B.A.P Concert Diary "Awake"-Tour 2016

Awwww, I am so absolutely happy about this  OMG!!! A while ago the ticket sale startet.
In the following you can find a price list but also a link for more details about this. I think the prices are really crazy, I mean my mom went to a ACDC concert last year and payed around 100€ for one ticket but now we have to pay something like 300€ for a korean group?!? (OK, I think that's a fighting point on all kpop concerts, but it's just my opinion that this is really to much and maybe some babys can't go there because of this and so the boys can't get all the love from Germany that they deserve.)

Tickets

There are 5 possible Ticket Versions for Frankfurt/Main:

1. Party 89€
2. Crazy Party 129€
3. Silver Party 169€
4. Golden Party 199€
5. Diamond Party 299€
    
   

more Details: http://www.kpopmeetingsgermany.com/de/b-a-p-2017-world-tour-party-baby-in-frankfurtmain/ 



For concert preparations it's super important to know how to come to the concert, going with friends, skipping school (because it's a week day)....

Also important!! :D
I wanted to have my own light stick as my sister had last year. Violetta bought one second hand and I wanted to do this, too. But unfortunately there wasn't any I could find. So I bought a new one on www.daebak.de, they have some different light sticks from kpop groups. I got my light stick for 40€, yep, pretty expensive! :D

So now we have the two versions of the light sticks.

I really didn't hear anything about fake light sticks in the beginning of my research, but I read that there are really many fake ones you can buy on ebay. You have to look at the packaging if there is this copyright symbol there, than you can be sure that this is not a fake light stick. (maybe for some of you this isn't important, but I don't want to have a fake one and believe that this is the original one...)

first version B.A.P light stick

2nd version B.A.P light stick

Hopefully everything will be ok for the concert for all of you. Please stay as excited and happy about B.A.P in Germany as you are! haha!!

I am thinking about getting some present's for the boy's but I hadn't a great idea right now. Last time there was also the possibility to give them letter's or presents!^^

If you have some question's about buying ticket's or how the concert was last year please feel free to ask me! <33 (I was really nervous before my first time, too, so really, there are NO stupid questions!! :D )


I would be really happy if you follow us on facebook and twitter to never leaf a new blogpost out! <33

Travel Diary: a Harp Seal in Bavaria (Bayern)

Travel Diary: A Harp Seal in Bavaria (Bayern)

by Violetta

click here for: GERMAN VERSION

Hey everyone!
Today I wanted to share with you my summer travel experiences.
Well ... since I´m personally not so photogenic as I wish for, my little HARPSEAL Handcream from ETUDE HOUSE wanted to come with me on my trip nd wanted me to take some photos of him. Since I´m a good mother to him, I always fulfill his wishes gladly. :-)

First of all I wanted to introduce my little harpseal to you. ^^ If you haven´t already heard from the ETUDE HOUSE "Missing You Hand Cream" please klick on this link.
You can get them here: ETUDE HOUSE global online store
The idea behind these hand creams is to save different endangered animals with giving money per sold hand cream to a donation.The hand cream appears in 4 different kinds, a pink dolphin, a panda, a penguin and the harpseal, all in different ingredients and scent.


So, lets start with the pictures :3 :


First of all, just to let you know, we didn´t made a relax vacation, more an exhausting one. But it was really fun! ^^
We went to Bavaria (Germany) to search for fossils. Thatfore we went into the "Altmühltal". For those of you who don´t know something about this region, there was a really really big lake 150 million years ago. Today, there are manny mountains for walker, backpacker and bike-rider, but also a great place to find fossils. There are manny quarries for tourists, but you can also find fossils on fields and in the forest. I´m really interested in such things, also I really enjoy digging and searching, so doing this in my vacation is a perfect activity for me (and my family). ^^

If you never visited the "Altmühltal" in Bavaria, you have to know that not only the landscape, but also the little cities and villages are sooo beautiful and cute. In this region there are more villages than cities, but the houses look really classic and traditional from the outside, so every village has it´s own charm.

Harpsheal: "City touring is nice, but now I want to check out the fossils!!! :3 "

WooooW! And here we are lil´ Harpsheal! Our first visit. Now it´s not only important to have strengths for grabbing and hammer, but also to be patient.

 

"Ufff! This is really hard. Hang in there auntie!Or else I have to do the whole job alone. \(*.*)/ "

What else is interesting on a trip to Bavaria? The old romans had their roman empire there. That´s why you can find ruins and relicts there, e.g. the roman cross towers. This way you can see where the border was from the Germanic and the roman empire was.

"Can you see me???"

"Such a nice view, ins´t it auntie?"

When we went to a little hill, we could also find some fossils there. These are the rocks farmers removed from their fields. Quite a mess for them, but like a treasure chest for us. ^^

 "So beautiful how the fog is hanging in the valley. Remember to also watch it, not only looking on the ground to find some fossils. ^^´ "

Ok lil´ Harpsheal, we have enough time to search for fossils in the next quarry. Maybe we´ll make a nice discovery there.

"Oh, I didn´t know that we could find something that delicious here, too! Soooo ... EATING TIME!"

"So many rocks here ... I hope I´m not falling down ... :0 "

After all this hard work, it´s time for a little rest. This little village is perfect for relaxing. Luckily the weather is as good and as sunny as it could be. ^^

 "Aunties hair looks like seaweed now! ... Yummi!!!*.* "

Something that you should not miss when you are in Bavaria: a visit in one of it´s beautifulll middle ages castles.

Since Harpsheal was a little bit hungry, he wanted to visit the herb garden of the castle. (I do everything as he wishes.)

"WOW! This snaiil is almost as big as I am. O.O"

 "Awww! So manny delicious looking plants! ^^"

 Oh my Harpsheal, it could also be that some of them are more intense than good in taste. ^^

Now we are at the end of our little documentation. Thank you for reading. Not only I but also my lil´ Harpsheal is happy about every interested reader. Please leafe a comment if you have a question or just if you feel that you have to say something about this tour through Bavaria and our vacation. Harpsheal or me are happy to chat with you. ^^

"Me with my auntie! ^^"
