Flutter Experience is probably the latest in a series of pop-up installations in Los Angeles. Unlike the Museum of Ice Cream of the MODS Museum, Flutter attempts to elevate the selfie taking experience to one of high art by having actual artists decorate each room. What drew me to Flutter is that it was created by Rumi Neely's husband and I've been a huge fan of Rumi Neely since I was 14. My overall feelings towards Flutter is that it's interesting and extremely ambitious. What it's attempting to do is reconcile the difference between a selfie station and an actual museum. What it's left with though is being somewhere in-between and I'm not sure if selfie enthusiasts or art connoisseurs will be entirely satisfied. Selfie enthusiasts will be looking for better lighting and might find some of the rooms too odd to get likes, while art connoisseurs will be turned off by the millennials (LIKE ME) who are taking too many photos. If I had a suggestion though, it would be to the art connoisseurs in that I think they should give Flutter a chance, ignore the Instagrammers, and enjoy the experience. I also feel like this is a great way to introduce kids to art because it has so many rooms that encourage play. That being said, I still got some hella cute #ootd photos and there is a decent amount of space to get your photos in.

Day 5 took me to Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Folk Museum, and Bukchon Hanok Village - all highly rated tourist spots in Seoul. My friends and I rented hanboks from Hanbok Nori, which I highly recommend. Everyone around us had the same glittery hanboks, so my group stood out in our more traditional hanboks. The best part about Hanbok Nori is that they offer personal assistance in styling hanboks and help with your hair as well. Afterwards, we headed to Bukchon Hanok Village for its traditional homes called hanoks. Just a heads up - it's someone's home so be quiet and respectful when you're around!
