so like how I’ve blogged about previously, just take the Subway to Gangbyeon and walk across to Dong-Seoul Bus Terminal and ask for a ticket to Gapyeong. Ga-Pyeong.
the bus heads to Chuncheon so make sure you know where to get off. if I am not wrong you get out on the 2nd stop. it takes around an hour and a half. Continue reading “Nami Island during Summer!”
I was dreadddddding to go to Hanging for the longest time. so finally I went. Hangang is very very very long so this part is one of the most famous spots to go to; Seonyudo. it’s like a really tiny island near Nami Island with a beautiful park in it. I mean, the whole island is a park.
you can basically finish the whole hour in within an hour if you keep walking and walking. or less. not sure haha. but it ain’t big I can assure you. Continue reading “[Seoul] Hangang and Seonyudo Park”
if you know me well then you should know that I am not so much of an alcoholic. but after coming to Korea I kind of got used to their Soju and Beer culture where you HAVE TO DRINK. and at the top of all Korean Alcohol, I love Makgeolli. and we drink it with Cider (very similar to 7 Up, can’t really tell the difference anyway). but there are times where you don’t want to go for the usual Makgeolli, Soju or Beer, but some good old drinks you often drink back at your own country.
there are plenty of bars, and mostly very unique and cute. and this one we went to is near the Ikan Bakar in Sinchon on the 2nd floor. you would notice the sweet red window. Continue reading “[Seoul: Sinchon] Just bars in Sinchon”
of all palaces, they say Deoksugung is one of the prettiest. and because of the royal guards exchange sessions, Deoksugung has attracted not only foreigners, but a lot of the locals too.
so lets start with the Royal Guards Exchange Ceremony shall we? Continue reading “[Seoul: Gwanghwamun] Deoksugung”
when I blogged about Cheonggyecheon (could be found on my Travel page), I was told that this place is exceptionally beautiful at night too. and I have to say, it really is. I was lucky to be here right on the lantern festival too! there are many festivals in a year and Cheonggyecheon will always be prettily decorated on those special occasions =D. I guess you could check out the KTO website for the list of events. =D.
forgot to mention, the Gwanghwamun Square is like right next to Cheonggyecheon =D. Continue reading “[Seoul: Gwanghwamun] Cheonggyecheon Stream at Night”
one spot that’s not very well advertised on the “visit Korea” site but is very near numerous famous spots like Gyeongbokgung (which is near to Samcheongdong which is alsooooooo near to Insadong andddddd Changgyeonggung/Changdeokgung) and the King Sejong statue right in front of Gyeongbokgung. in fact, it’s RIGHT at the statue.
anyways read on!
love how Korea preserve their nature eventhough it’s slowly turning into a concrete jungle. on the picture above, a construction is going on on the right. and can you see trees camouflaging into the forest background? =D. pretty awesome if you’d ask me. Continue reading “[Seoul: Gwanghwamun] King Sejong’s Museum”
BEHOLD MY 83 PICTURE POST! because I tried my best to show you MOST of what’s inside. but if I am not wrong they change certain stuff from time to time so it wouldn’t ALWAYS be the same. I’m just guessing it judging that there are new posters outside wrapped with see through plastic.
been wanting to come here but I kept forgetting until a reader told me to visit it and so I did!
this place would probably take around 2 hours if you would like to take a lot of pictures. I think a tripod is unnecessary since there are plenty of people inside and also workers to help you take pictures. the downside of it would be the PRICE. it costs 13,000won. that’s quite expensive to me but oh well..
if you know where is Hongik University then all problems are settled. say, you are from the subway and you wanna walk to Hongik Univ., you will definitely pass by that crowded and popular Hongdae street. spot for Tony Moly and Holika Holika and walk IN BETWEEN that road. and you’ll see it. if not. click here, set to full size then scroll to the bottom. Continue reading “[Seoul: Hongdae] Trick Eye Museum”
when it comes to travelling most people would just pick the easy way out on going through the main and popular road. but little did they know, that treasures are kept inside. there are quite a few interesting back alleys of Sinchon and here’s a little bit of it.
this is the same row on where CM’s box is. I have always been very amazed how pretty most restaurants and cafe here look like. so whatever it is, never be afraid to explore the smaller alleys. Continue reading “[Seoul: Sinchon] The Back Alleys of Sinchon”
Insadong is known for being Korea’s traditional district and you’d see shops like Starbucks for example in Korean words instead of English because they think that by having everything Korean, it’s sustains the traditional feel of Insadong. I personally love going to Insadong despite the crowd of foreigners especially the route from Insadong to Samcheongdong. it’s just my favourite.
believe it or not, these are crackers. getting really famous there. but I felt it’s a little dirty =S. don’t wanna try it. Continue reading “[Seoul: Insadong] Korean Traditional Tea”
that’s the name of the dessert/tea shop.
since 1976, the 2nd best place in Seoul is still as popular and you’d find it full almost everytime.
located near the end of the Samcheongdong road, it’s relatively easy to find. if you’re walking from Gyeongbokgung, the shop will be on the right side. Continue reading “[Seoul: Samcheongdong] the 2nd best place in Seoul 서울서 둘째로 잘하는 집”
