This week I had the honor of getting by blog featured on Days to Come, an online travel magazine by the tour booking site TourRadar. In the post you can read about a number of great accommodation alternatives in Kyoto that you can stay at for a reasonable price. I've added my quote from the article here:

According to a friend working in the travel industry in Kyoto Piece Hostel Sanjo is the most popular hostel in Kyoto among foreign travelers. It is a traditional Japanese ryokan that has been renovated into a hostel and should be an interesting place for people who want to experience Japanese culture at a budget. They’re apparently also opening up a new hotel in December this year, and are currently doing some opening promotions on their site. Most travelers visit to Kyoto either for the autumn leaf (kouyou) season or the cherry blossom (sakura) season, so you can save money on visiting Kyoto right before and right after these periods when the hotels have lower occupancy rates. – Anette, Adventures of Anette

Yesterday I had the honor of getting interviewed at the TBS eFM's raido show "1013 Mainstreet" along with three other students from the Graduate Institute of Peace Studies at Kyung Hee. We talked about various topics, such as our experiences before coming to Korea, and our plans and dreams of (hopefully) making the world a better place in the future (oh yeah;)). All of the others really have a lot of knowledge and experiences, so the time in the studio really flew away fast. I have to say that I'm really happy to have such inspiring classmates and 선배s (senior students) ^^
Anyway, I'll probably post the interview here when I get it later, so for now all I have to share is some pictures from the studio.

Inside the radio station. This is the room where some of eFM's shows are being recorded

This experience was all thanks to my dear 선배 Dianne, who invited me, Ace and Nazzina to join her in the studio. Dianne worked as an intern there during the summer, so she's already an expert when it comes to the radio, how the machines works, etc etc. Originally the interview was meant to be only with her, but she asked if she could bring some friends too! xD So we got to see the studio, some of the rooms where the recordings are taking place, and a lunch with the 부장님 (chief). It was also my first time since I came here to really get away from the GIP campus.. So great! :)

I got an article about my participation in the Toka-Ebisu festival published in Assosiation of Norwegian Students Abroad - ANSA -'s magazine Utlendighet (nr. 02/2012), feel free to check it out^^. (Unfortunately it is only available in Norwegian)
