Just significant difference can be observed by the street scene (various street food carts comes out on the street and people wear thicker clothes and walk hastily to save time staying outside outside in cold). <br />However, in this city on cold winter day, it's always sweet to walk around or visit...<br /><br />1. palaces (as I mentioned already, palaces in Seoul are gorgeous in Fall but also mesmerizing in winter too! especially when they are covered in snow...)<br /><br />2. art or other museums: Seoul Museum of Arts, Leeum, Science Museum, etc<br /><br />3. movie theaters: any one in Seoul but especially small ones (such as Sponge House, etc)<br /><br />4. amusement parks especially when it snows and dark! because they are pretty at night!Also they have special promotions for night admissions and parades at night!<br /> <br />5. Ice Rink or Ski Resorts!! They are typical places to go in winter<br /><br />6. Jjim jil bang(room)- this is a public sauna room where people can enjoy sauna with friends and families!<br /><br />7.

It is already scheduled to be opened in April '09. The scale of this multiplex is about five times as big as Coex. And this not only has entertainment and shops but also residential and business complex. <br />Commercial of this complex is already out!

Especially starting from fall, many carts come out on the streets loaded with mouth watering food.<br /><br />So what are the major street food???<br />1. << Boo-eung uh BBang!(Boo-eung uh=fish Bbang=bread) >><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidM4S1_5vpxsbVI0UaLTh6i1PBkzj36E1Xx-2-ONRFunyqNGjMe40-yg7kRG2Drc-b4vPR8Gx4J1nori7HsdjM2Z4AYOvMy6kKAppvyxA1qe0MPkQPnpkB7LAKAV3XWAMl9-Eoi8752F2d/s1600-h/fish+bread.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidM4S1_5vpxsbVI0UaLTh6i1PBkzj36E1Xx-2-ONRFunyqNGjMe40-yg7kRG2Drc-b4vPR8Gx4J1nori7HsdjM2Z4AYOvMy6kKAppvyxA1qe0MPkQPnpkB7LAKAV3XWAMl9-Eoi8752F2d/s400/fish+bread.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269486583954807954" /></a>We call this Boo-eung uh Bbang not because the filling is made of fish but the shape of the bread is fish! This bread is simply made up of bread mixing(flour, butter, water, etc depends on the maker/seller) and sweetened red been paste filing!<br />And simply eating is the best way to find out why this is the long time favorite street food of Korea~<br /><br />2. << Hoo-dduk(rice cake) >><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubEKLzfwE_pMc-q35mK5VlKfsPCrvK7N3laWlA4NCJDqmVdkSSFKEYkVUqe83hfHAGQlSeGr_91pTHMBnoH3eVm0llB3VPjs8gAkF7PBablM2BG6h-E1sUEFIZ9pw6uL1Jyrw0gp5prHL/s1600-h/%ED%98%B8%EB%96%A1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhubEKLzfwE_pMc-q35mK5VlKfsPCrvK7N3laWlA4NCJDqmVdkSSFKEYkVUqe83hfHAGQlSeGr_91pTHMBnoH3eVm0llB3VPjs8gAkF7PBablM2BG6h-E1sUEFIZ9pw6uL1Jyrw0gp5prHL/s400/%ED%98%B8%EB%96%A1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269488544684273586" /></a>Although the name of this food indicates that this is a rice cake, I would say this is more like bread than rice cake. This is a round bread/rice cake that has sugar, honey, sesame powder, and cinnamon power mix inside. The batter can be made in many different ways depend on who makes it. It can contain rice powder or sweet rice powder making Hoo dduk more rice cake like. However, the batter can be made only with flour very ironic to be called "dduk." The Hoo dduk maker shapes the batter roundly and then put the filling inside the center hole that he or she makes inside the rounded batter dough. Then the maker closes the hole and shapes the filled dough round again. And finally, he or she puts the dough on the hot frying pan and presses it with round presser. So the hoo dduk looks like a fried pancakes with sweet filling inside. Along with Boo-eung uh BBang, Hoo Dduk is a long time favorite winter street food in Korea!<br /><br />3. << Gooeun(baked) Bam(chestnut) and Gooeun Goguma(sweet potato) >> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvsSUZH6mh9RJW237bTg9BysxV6_qE05iAXb-yxkDWQMYul_aH794vdSpAhKA_L3PBu4VT_XvdE_Wi8tlF3X9NOagobVl9MCo3WMgKMKKPqIJc5r-luphCJzZfmQl3_UU-7YGD0VFlZHq/s1600-h/%EA%B5%B0%EB%B0%A4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPvsSUZH6mh9RJW237bTg9BysxV6_qE05iAXb-yxkDWQMYul_aH794vdSpAhKA_L3PBu4VT_XvdE_Wi8tlF3X9NOagobVl9MCo3WMgKMKKPqIJc5r-luphCJzZfmQl3_UU-7YGD0VFlZHq/s400/%EA%B5%B0%EB%B0%A4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269489481925560498" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDrQhrnPhU6uAMWEzvMGcQGMCk7KNyuOtD3lPMNyTGIsz816CBSW-UfQIziIEmKyiVBOxpHzf_zfQdpwOi0cnzaLjfbS7fSDtwx79bfybumXiR_sCo6-vlXIMUyPJo3o9A_iGINcX8oUhL/s1600-h/%EA%B5%B0%EA%B3%A0%EA%B5%AC%EB%A7%88.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 90px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDrQhrnPhU6uAMWEzvMGcQGMCk7KNyuOtD3lPMNyTGIsz816CBSW-UfQIziIEmKyiVBOxpHzf_zfQdpwOi0cnzaLjfbS7fSDtwx79bfybumXiR_sCo6-vlXIMUyPJo3o9A_iGINcX8oUhL/s400/%EA%B5%B0%EA%B3%A0%EA%B5%AC%EB%A7%88.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269489622827911954" /></a>When people have to worry over high calorie intakes while eating other street foods, people can simply turn over to comparably healthy street food such as Gooeun Bam and Gooeun Goguma! As they are called, chestnuts and sweet potatoes are just simply baked not adding other extra sweet or salty calorie boosters!Also those vegetable and nuts are known as healthy food! It's not a bad idea to have them instead of sweet or salty other street food if you worry about those extra pounds~<br /><br />4. << Pojangmacha(a street stationed cart selling street food) Food >> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNvWzECS7gizxzAzGkZmo3vnrOkVLQw4AC_jlMBKfUwFYT7ElthT8UsFX857FBeO4n1q3ZxGWyn675xXSQ396U47YJf5V8FEtBXPEseV1HbJdFAt5tMarMNl3xuuW3Cj_QbLjkihtjYUgq/s1600-h/%ED%8F%AC%EC%9E%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%B0%A8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 86px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNvWzECS7gizxzAzGkZmo3vnrOkVLQw4AC_jlMBKfUwFYT7ElthT8UsFX857FBeO4n1q3ZxGWyn675xXSQ396U47YJf5V8FEtBXPEseV1HbJdFAt5tMarMNl3xuuW3Cj_QbLjkihtjYUgq/s400/%ED%8F%AC%EC%9E%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%B0%A8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269490376559550674" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNspq2Rbtob7tlrf-BbnSViIizDn-3uemq0oTb236CGKYBdUyYqyNit6ywyiY2a1BdS4YX5bkDCXXzVeNpg_YI52mjyeURm6lImszzTYGXY8VBaK5o5NVfswwW33q8UsL4XPd3BxOSm-O/s1600-h/%ED%8F%AC%EC%9E%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%B0%A8+food.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 95px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWNspq2Rbtob7tlrf-BbnSViIizDn-3uemq0oTb236CGKYBdUyYqyNit6ywyiY2a1BdS4YX5bkDCXXzVeNpg_YI52mjyeURm6lImszzTYGXY8VBaK5o5NVfswwW33q8UsL4XPd3BxOSm-O/s400/%ED%8F%AC%EC%9E%A5%EB%A7%88%EC%B0%A8+food.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269490632216825458" /></a>People can't talk about Korea not mentioning Pojangmacha!

And then Uh muk is boiled and cooked in soup(made by pojangmacha owner-usually the soup base contains water, fish, onion,radish,sea weed,etc). People can drink the soup when they eat Uh muk and it's the best to have them in winter!3. << Sun Dae(Korean style Sausages) >><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKgqZXen3sj8JQCjvfqLMYR09O0dWW3jHtYoZ1GBBe1QeEkakfi8ERbT8s5wxv0RBHZlhYZk7hNp3lJ1h5uDgfv5gibjFbvlrQl66tjETdW5YSSHN0tNM1Ovqhefh6p3BPREhjahVsqn4/s1600-h/%EC%88%9C%EB%8C%80.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 91px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiuKgqZXen3sj8JQCjvfqLMYR09O0dWW3jHtYoZ1GBBe1QeEkakfi8ERbT8s5wxv0RBHZlhYZk7hNp3lJ1h5uDgfv5gibjFbvlrQl66tjETdW5YSSHN0tNM1Ovqhefh6p3BPREhjahVsqn4/s400/%EC%88%9C%EB%8C%80.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5269495080444864466" /></a>At first, people would not be able to eat it easily because unlike usual sausages, it is black. However, it is a sausage made of sweet potato starch based noodles stuffed in pig intestine. Most Koreans love it.

However, some places, it's still available! It is simple sweets that little kids enjoy (and adults enjoy them when they want to reminisce their childhood).Bbotggi is made up of baking soda and sugar. In a steel dipper, Bbotggi maker puts two or three scoops of sugar and a smaller scoop of baking soda and put it over a fire while mixing them. Then the mixture creates golden colored liquid. Then the maker puts it on the cooling pan and presses it with presser(yes, the same presser for Hoo dduk!) then before Bbopggi hardens, the maker presses different shapes of smaller version of cookie cutters to make a shape on Bbopggi! In old days, it was a tradition that if a person succeeds to cut Bbopggi around thd cookie cutter shape, the successful person gets another Bbopggi! So, it was always a battle betweem Bbopggi maker and Bbopggi buyers!"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-34094396465505315222008-11-10T20:49:00.000-08:002008-11-10T21:30:36.174-08:00Days to Celebrate... in Seoul!!! :-) # 2<< 11/11 Peppero Day :-) >><br />Korea especially has more "special" days to celebrate than many other nations.<br /><br />For example, Korea has White day when guys give candies to girls in return for the chocolates they got on Valentine's day! <br /><br />And today, November 11th is the "Pepero Day"! <br /><br />On November 11th, people exchange or simply give one of the most long time favorite snacks in Korea "pepero" to those they love. The day was made by the pepero company(Lotte) because November 11th(11/11) resembles four lined up peperos! (pepero is a long skinny cracker sticks covered in chocolate (well there are few variations though))<br /><br />Since the birth of the "Pepero day," many people especially students and lovers have fun exchanging and giving out peperos. <br /><br />It will be a fun experience to try some peperos on Nov. 11th! :-)<br /><br /><< the History of Pepero... >><br />in 1983 - the original Pepero(plain chocolate covered) was born<br />in 1984 - the Almond Pepero(plain chocolate covered with cracked almond sprinkled)was born<br />in 1994 - the Strawberry and Flake flavored Peperos were born<br />in 1995 - the Cheese and Coffee flavored Peperos were born<br />in 1996 - the Peanut, Hazelnut, and Bulgogi(?) flavored Peperos were born<br />in 1997 - the Peanut Cream flavored Pepero was born<br />in 2000 - the Nude Pepero was born<br />in 2005 - the Black Pepero was born<br />in 2006 - the Cacao Pepero was born<br />in 2007 - the Nude Lemon Cheese flavored Pepero was born<br /><br />Images of different types of Peperos are below...<br /><br /><< images of the Various Types of Pepero >><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLSYOfCTtZoZmYjnB8auxBx1JJO_sDVZiSget8P_ESe22OVJotNvsD9rgSGCPnaauaKKTZrk26r3GsIP0y_C512j9ayx_pFkD_k66R03qR-dmNqQu42-7-H6ziaObcoKLEz22TMjEod7WV/s1600-h/%EB%B9%BC%EB%B9%BC%EB%A1%9C.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 120px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLSYOfCTtZoZmYjnB8auxBx1JJO_sDVZiSget8P_ESe22OVJotNvsD9rgSGCPnaauaKKTZrk26r3GsIP0y_C512j9ayx_pFkD_k66R03qR-dmNqQu42-7-H6ziaObcoKLEz22TMjEod7WV/s400/%EB%B9%BC%EB%B9%BC%EB%A1%9C.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267267104030950818" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgDlfffxGKx0c2Rm87Hj72FObzSW9goMgzaO-ii9GDQgrXXYNHCZEpJoDMSvHkMTd-2PuDL_hNXiWUuDsINE9bx2chcS9SLmPiF4s_9CxvxKVhIqs-aoA8ggb0A5GKyQqWQXvw5BJ2O3Bu/s1600-h/%EB%B9%BC%EB%B9%BC%EB%A1%9C2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 80px; height: 120px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgDlfffxGKx0c2Rm87Hj72FObzSW9goMgzaO-ii9GDQgrXXYNHCZEpJoDMSvHkMTd-2PuDL_hNXiWUuDsINE9bx2chcS9SLmPiF4s_9CxvxKVhIqs-aoA8ggb0A5GKyQqWQXvw5BJ2O3Bu/s400/%EB%B9%BC%EB%B9%BC%EB%A1%9C2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267267830804748850" /></a>"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-14672929510196581982008-11-10T18:49:00.001-08:002008-11-17T20:54:32.212-08:00Check This Out!!! :-) # 2<< Bicycle's Heaven City >><br />Gangnam gu decided to install bicycle stations where people can easily borrow bicycles and return them near their destinations. Seoul City Government is saying that by doing this, Seoul's pollution and traffic issues would improve. <br /><br />Taking Seoul's characteristic: having many up and down turns, Seoul City Government is strategically installing bicycle stations near subway stations, schools, department stores, markets, apartments, and even main freeways and local streets.<br /><br />According to the Gangnam ward office, it will take a while to make this new project to settle down and get adjusted. However near May of 2009, not only residents in Gangnam gu, but also all citizens in Seoul will easily have access to the public bicycles!<br /><br />*** and also, many other districts in Seoul are also following Gangnam gu's footstep too!"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-33922464453488072022008-11-09T17:33:00.000-08:002008-11-17T20:54:14.515-08:00Check This Out!!! :-) # 1<< Seoul's New Marketing Partner, Manchester United!!! >><br />After Seoul City Government announced its new marketing partner, Manchester United, many people have showed two extreme points of view.<br /><br />Because of the high price that Manchester United required from Seoul for putting up Seoul's ad, people argued that it's not a great idea for marketing Seoul. However, the potential success and the huge market pool supported people who believe that it is a smart idea to make Manchester United as Seoul's new marketing partner.<br /><br />And as far as these pictures show, the banners of Seoul look pretty great!<br /><br />Let's cross our fingers and wish this new marketing strategy helps Seoul to achieve its goal of attracting travelers to Seoul~<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDDIbWHzzO552LO3ZeIMQloBsDFw388VBH9SeSeStyC6se-WYecndhjxC5LBtK5NBjcE6U9GjRv5Kv6TH8Jz5ocRUXz_170y7MDK02FfjG5Wga7ZrYpVo1Qp9JAQQZp7XbRVXy7TWjPSCG/s1600-h/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-1.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 190px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhDDIbWHzzO552LO3ZeIMQloBsDFw388VBH9SeSeStyC6se-WYecndhjxC5LBtK5NBjcE6U9GjRv5Kv6TH8Jz5ocRUXz_170y7MDK02FfjG5Wga7ZrYpVo1Qp9JAQQZp7XbRVXy7TWjPSCG/s400/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-1.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266837317435640818" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfbcrnYRlp1vXXFNAETMvtcpaouyblyf2c5pv5CZjUVbnWqXYhn_KPhd5-PWEwhC6k5mYk8GYQyLLiGkyylCErFeoaFu7IDDnAatLgdlrDtHRrRjU4BIkY6eSSg1NVfbKsWQ53dgD2kG4H/s1600-h/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-2.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 246px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhfbcrnYRlp1vXXFNAETMvtcpaouyblyf2c5pv5CZjUVbnWqXYhn_KPhd5-PWEwhC6k5mYk8GYQyLLiGkyylCErFeoaFu7IDDnAatLgdlrDtHRrRjU4BIkY6eSSg1NVfbKsWQ53dgD2kG4H/s400/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-2.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266837556601210162" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY4HXhNnk9369emRUzizfcqGRslU78quKy0ccocNpP8ZrFt01U87oTROg1vseFCeGXgXNlaEGe8Kkzndj2KPZP9oddCR_-BjUneROiOGIMEDS1cRcwTwY9hWqdo-FUFJLRvQ0c7FhKX40X/s1600-h/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-3.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 167px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiY4HXhNnk9369emRUzizfcqGRslU78quKy0ccocNpP8ZrFt01U87oTROg1vseFCeGXgXNlaEGe8Kkzndj2KPZP9oddCR_-BjUneROiOGIMEDS1cRcwTwY9hWqdo-FUFJLRvQ0c7FhKX40X/s400/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-3.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266837736956112258" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguNZLcy5CbaeAphJbrEK9nmd7fKxEPBITsKyPtaXBItUiQO0O0LdQzv_vmRLJ9ws6OsBxRdWW-Y5rQtP8ftbPWQsK0_JTDmaYAKxdDylV57_DeqIikcPERfpM3tVDjC8GY1GVtH9mF7jc1/s1600-h/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-4.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguNZLcy5CbaeAphJbrEK9nmd7fKxEPBITsKyPtaXBItUiQO0O0LdQzv_vmRLJ9ws6OsBxRdWW-Y5rQtP8ftbPWQsK0_JTDmaYAKxdDylV57_DeqIikcPERfpM3tVDjC8GY1GVtH9mF7jc1/s400/%EC%82%AC%EB%B3%B8+-+%EB%A7%A8%EC%9C%A0%EC%82%AC%EC%A7%84-4.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5266837852994749730" /></a>"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-80925744167244430982008-11-05T17:03:00.000-08:002008-11-27T21:06:08.222-08:00Art & Cultural Events in Seoul (in November) :-)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5j1qECX0hHZldYjI1zlJ8R4xioUTsEWle7DWPk04oZPOoB_2RTho2ERyedkzrQe4lns7qaVX8taegoySx8AVoMAYnpg4_9mizgZUnNpl-2Lhge21sbr8geJ22qjto7CLhASg3uOq36Wb/s1600-h/%EC%9B%B9+%EC%82%AC%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8%EC%97%90+%EC%98%AC%EB%A6%B4+%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8%EC%97%90+%EC%9E%88%EB%8A%94+11%EC%9B%94%EB%82%B4+%EB%AC%B8%ED%99%94%EC%9D%B4%EB%B2%A4%ED%8A%B8.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 283px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhS5j1qECX0hHZldYjI1zlJ8R4xioUTsEWle7DWPk04oZPOoB_2RTho2ERyedkzrQe4lns7qaVX8taegoySx8AVoMAYnpg4_9mizgZUnNpl-2Lhge21sbr8geJ22qjto7CLhASg3uOq36Wb/s400/%EC%9B%B9+%EC%82%AC%EC%9D%B4%ED%8A%B8%EC%97%90+%EC%98%AC%EB%A6%B4+%EC%84%9C%EC%9A%B8%EC%97%90+%EC%9E%88%EB%8A%94+11%EC%9B%94%EB%82%B4+%EB%AC%B8%ED%99%94%EC%9D%B4%EB%B2%A4%ED%8A%B8.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5273570251100429954" /></a>If you have any more questions, please leave comments!!!

:-) # 38It was only a few days ago when I posted up about Jeongdong in Fall but I wish to share few more hot spots in Seoul especially in Fall!<br /><br />As Fall is hiting its peak, leaves are turning yellow and red and also falling...<br /><br />For those who haven't fully experienced Seoul's Fall yet, I recommend to hit some hot spots to take in Seoul's Fall~<br /><br />Famous and Popular Hot Spots during Fall in Seoul...<br /><br />1. All Palaces(Deoksu palace, Kyeongbok palace, etc) in Seoul!!! -palaces are always favored by people who wish to take in Seoul's fall because... of the beautiful walk that people can enjoy around the palaces! Around palaces, the beautiful stone walls and ginkgo trees along the walls<br />Just walking on the fallen leaves along the high and extremely ancient stone wall will easily make you be sentimental~<br /><br />2. Zoo -people might wonder why Zoo is a popular place to hit in fall, but if they do, they would understand why. <br />The recommended zoo to visit is Seoul Grand Park Zoo. Since November, the closing time has become 6:00 pm. The Seoul Grand Park is one of the places that are packed with trees and especially during fall, the trees become mesmerizingly gorgeous! So don't miss the view!<br /><br />3. Local Parks -I know that local parks don't sound so special however, remember, pleasures and beauties can be sound nearby! If transportation or money is an issue to enjoy fall, don't be hesitant to visit local places! Almost everywhere in Korea is showing off its beauty so it would be easy to find beautifully colored leaves from local parks too.<br /><br />4. Cafes with open terraces -these days, Seoulites are in love with cafes with open terraces. It might be a little bit too chilly to sit out. But, with a hot cup of coffee, people can enjoy romantic sentimental moment while enjoying falling colored leaves-<br /><br />5. Samchung dong, or Shin sa dong (ga ro soo gil) -I already featured ga ro soo gil before, but right now, these two hot spots attract the most number of people with their beautiful scenes and atmospheres."Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-53112974601828260892008-10-29T17:11:00.000-07:002008-11-10T18:10:04.603-08:00Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 37<< Jeongdong Gil >><br />Wake Me up When October Ends~<br /><br />And now in the early Nov, I would like to introduce one of the most gorgeous spot during autumn in Seoul!:-)<br /><br />Jeongdong is the area I recommend to stroll around in autumn. Jeongdong area starts where Deoksu Palace is located. <br /><br />The famous "Jeongdong gil(road)" includes Deoksu Palace Road, Museum Road, and Jeongdong Road. Deoksu Palace Road is a road along the doldam(stone wall) gil(Rd) of Deoksu Palace leading to Deoksu Elementary School. Jeongdong Rd is a road between Jeongdong Church and Kyunghyang Newspaper. And, Museum Rd is a road between Jeongdong Church and Paichai Jeongdong Building.<br /><br />While walking along the "Doldam gil," strollers can find Deoksu Palace, Seoul Museum of Art, Jeongdong Theater, C2 building, C2 Square building (where "Sponge House" is located <--I featured this on my blog!), and small restaurants and cafes.<br /><br />It is a refreshing and sentimental place to walk around with families, friends and loved ones.<br /><br />Don't wait any moment because winter is coming soon and capture the last moment of autumn~ :-)<br /><br />And here are the pictures of Jeongdong gil below...<br /><< Doldam Gil pix. >><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV_u7Dc6NLer_meWgLCkmRFPj4RNb1aZOX3Y8lONYUfPmiBY7TjDDzKnLU7_hB4KizpFP2QUJhq_tJAOCORNTYYtX-xl0UlXLaTELKIJU1vQqmUU3lpiQ3J-SiNiMZJceuxrPB7MDe2Vmr/s1600-h/%EC%A0%95%EB%8F%99%EA%B8%B81.jpg"><img style="display:block;

As a result, many small yet local and private style theaters are closing...<br /><br />However, in this harsh market environment, the "Sponge House" is still popular among those who know how to serenely enjoy movies with close friends, lovers, and family!<br /><br />compared to those "big" movie theaters, the "Sponge House" is a small theater that shows only few selected movies (they tend to be either famous ones or ones that are not easily shown in other "big" theaters)<br /><br />Due to its character it's more suitable for a person who wants to enjoy movies by her or himself or couples seeking unique experiment or those who do not like boisterous and too public atmosphere that typical "big" theaters provide.<br /><br />Sponge House has three houses! One in Gwang Hwa Mun area, another in Apgujung dong, and the other in JungAng area (near Euljiro and Myung dong)<br /><br />the "Sponge House"'s official website is~<br /><br />www.spongehouse.com<br /><br /><< the Outside View and Entrance of the C2 Square Buidling >><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixgyOrN-UJIRl1NrBIMZv6gspiknUcKxk2fzKOc8idcfxkwgtB4XUTuFUUKsHSGTzOEtzIgMSWA1BuqYRTBs437xP_w1e7WTbHzhZ9Yl35gSZK2bScq6-7r5jqVgv3_-ZmK82O9oUH7B-d/s1600-h/c2+square.jpg"><img style="display:block;

Construction<br />began in 1891 and was completed the following year. It is called Yakhyeon<br />Cathedral, which is the name of the hill between Malli-dong and Seoul<br />Railroad Station. Long ago the area was covered with fields of medicinal<br />herbs. and thus it was called yakhyeon, meaning "hill of medicinal herb<br />fields.'<br />After the conclusion of the Korea-France Friendship Treaty of 1886. Bishop<br />Doucet, the first official priest of the cathedral. prepared the site and was<br />In charge of construction, and Auxiliary Bishop Coste designed the<br />building. The cathedral was built with bricks Produced in Korea. and It is<br />approximately 32 meters long. 12 meters wide, and has a 22 meter-high<br />bell tower. Overall it is very elegant and with no complicated<br />ornamentation it evokes a feeling of solemnity.<br />This cathedral has great significance for the history of the Catholic Church<br />and the history of construction in Korea in that it is the first Western-style<br />church built in Korea. Also, although it is not a pure Gothic church, It is still<br />a brick Gothic church and has become the model for Korean church<br />construction .<br /><br />Direction to the Yakhyeon Catholic Church from the incheon international airport.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9qKlhvhy2Kk2-gdUYykRp3k2AIAdiiJ9iXRWAGp1chyLnGzzgk4Xuo2L3EVoKuySky6bIacrwRnGmzYHZo6WCV9I-mzQgdXJ2V3xa15HQhQ8NoP890Sw48u1KiKnpTfpPIgGcpeWtrJy6/s1600-h/directions+to+yakhyeon+chapel.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9qKlhvhy2Kk2-gdUYykRp3k2AIAdiiJ9iXRWAGp1chyLnGzzgk4Xuo2L3EVoKuySky6bIacrwRnGmzYHZo6WCV9I-mzQgdXJ2V3xa15HQhQ8NoP890Sw48u1KiKnpTfpPIgGcpeWtrJy6/s400/directions+to+yakhyeon+chapel.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246823863965830322" /></a><br /> ---straight from Yakhyeon Chapel Official Website: http://www.yakhyeon.or.kr/"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-31737566170687424602008-09-04T21:30:00.000-07:002008-09-16T21:02:53.818-07:00Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 31<< Pyeong Chang dong-the town of "Old Money" >><br />The capital of South Korea, Seoul is divided into many districts. And these districts are also divided into many towns. Each town has its unique style and history.<br />Pyeong chang dong also has a reputation for being the artistic town of "old money" in Seoul.<br />As it is called the town of "old money," Pyeong chang dong has been highly populated with rich leaders of South Korea with long history. Since early 1970s, the town started to form its structure and flourish. Famous and powerful leaders(in various ways: politics, business, art, etc) of South Korea started to move into the town and finally formed the base of what it is now.<br />Since the town in heavily populated with wealthy people, Pyeong chang dong residents tend to be actively involved and highly interested in arts. As a result, many artists also flocked to Pyeong chang dong for living or for galleries and exhibitions. Consequently, many art museums also opened in Pyeong chang dong too.<br />With Buk ak mountain on the back, Pyeong chang dong has many hills that it is rather hard to walk up and down to look around for museums and galleries. However, on sunny autumn days, it will be nice to have a gallery walk and also take a look at classic expensive looking houses and contemporarily built unique houses in Pyeong chang dong.

With the harvested food, people make lots of Chuseok food: Song phyun and other tteok(rice cake), numerous types of nuts(especially chestnut), other holiday food such as Jap chae(Korean Traditional noodle dish), dak(chicken) jjim(stew<-Korean Traditional Chicken Stew), different types of jeon(pan fried meat cake with minced onions,and chives, cut fish, or vegetables(usually sweet potatoes, eggplant, mushrooms), pan-cooked fish, han gwa(Korean Traditional cookies), freshly picked fall fruits(apples, Korean pears, persimmons, dried dates, etc ***but NO peaches!!!), seasoned vegetables (na-mool <--seasoned vegetables in bibimbab ***grounded pepper and garlic are NOT added ), meat based soup, Korean traditional drink(shik hae<-made w/ rice), alcoholic drink, etc.<br /><br />After all the ceremonies, greetings and visit to ancestors'graves, and of course meal time, people play Korean Traditional Chu seok games: "Sa Mul(Korean traditional musical instruments) nori(game)", "So(cow) nori(game)", "Gang Gang su wol lae, etc. In old times, farmers in groups played musical instruments to enjoy holiday later calling this "Sa Mul nori." "So nori" is a game that makes a person dress up as a cow and visit houses in the town with a long line of people <br /><br />The main purpose of this national holiday is celebrating the joyful harvest with families and gathering in hometown, giving thanks to ancestors for looking after us, and enjoying good food before the cold winter approaches us.<br /><br />So, do visit families and spend some time with them making and eating Korean traditional food!<br /><br />Have a joyful Chu Seok!!! :-)<br /><br />***fun fact about Chu Seok!!!:-)<br />There is a myth that if a woman(in old days only women prepared for food)makes pretty Song phyun, she will marry well.<br /><br />-image of Song phyun(special rice cake for Chu seok)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf5T8hUTd59fShuAj_P3rC3_VYbCipYct2YyPd5HzQYfBIOEr-gyrFqYSzk0mX0H3XSijt9uO4dvpNmk770hLjvhPDiznCUmKY4eqVdKNzT_aagHwP5ZZxIWTvcsSbrEvLqFcE0V4bXdxr/s1600-h/%EC%86%A1%ED%8E%B8.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjf5T8hUTd59fShuAj_P3rC3_VYbCipYct2YyPd5HzQYfBIOEr-gyrFqYSzk0mX0H3XSijt9uO4dvpNmk770hLjvhPDiznCUmKY4eqVdKNzT_aagHwP5ZZxIWTvcsSbrEvLqFcE0V4bXdxr/s400/%EC%86%A1%ED%8E%B8.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242346914979771234" /></a>-image of Chu Seok meal for ancestors<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPsRpUf4cFuwJyjguIZGSBDtPwnCwK5PvBEhdk4Qcw7C7tTL34qfLDWyV612oApTir2HzCKTM-aNTVlsApHP5kfvvZJU-c4a3PdGU2G1j6_PgDbW7bRW_B7oEKYGdQgYmzzbr3CoKe32kj/s1600-h/%EC%B6%94%EC%84%9D%EC%83%81.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPsRpUf4cFuwJyjguIZGSBDtPwnCwK5PvBEhdk4Qcw7C7tTL34qfLDWyV612oApTir2HzCKTM-aNTVlsApHP5kfvvZJU-c4a3PdGU2G1j6_PgDbW7bRW_B7oEKYGdQgYmzzbr3CoKe32kj/s400/%EC%B6%94%EC%84%9D%EC%83%81.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242360072790868962" /></a>-image of ancestor memorial services<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiRb7yWH0VmrIFotXv_ZEjpKjljPWWEk_mmUsOrCsqW0yf7UzbohAu5YH07Pg29NgOgWqj9RxtuLXr5DixNF9mYcbBAYPl3mtvbTtZBWTcx0_beHA6BlV5Qpc7lH1TcCGI13-Ct25ka6y/s1600-h/%EC%B6%94%EC%84%9D%EC%B0%A8%EB%A1%80%EC%99%80%EC%84%B1%EB%AC%98.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIiRb7yWH0VmrIFotXv_ZEjpKjljPWWEk_mmUsOrCsqW0yf7UzbohAu5YH07Pg29NgOgWqj9RxtuLXr5DixNF9mYcbBAYPl3mtvbTtZBWTcx0_beHA6BlV5Qpc7lH1TcCGI13-Ct25ka6y/s400/%EC%B6%94%EC%84%9D%EC%B0%A8%EB%A1%80%EC%99%80%EC%84%B1%EB%AC%98.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242361998504052706" /></a>-image of "Gang Gang Su Wol Lae"<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixcPrrNl4dUb79oVwMLSHYMdNHsuOdZSrarBtB3oxq2ZMmP_QAdRGplKnuhsKJoXo7nBUqRVuYjkitZKimPNQL_9VEd32qtoob6BcPT4VT0t4nOboTlxYl1n-VzY2g3OfBBVuYnPxU9Z5/s1600-h/%EA%B0%95%EA%B0%95%EC%88%98%EC%9B%94%EB%9E%98.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgixcPrrNl4dUb79oVwMLSHYMdNHsuOdZSrarBtB3oxq2ZMmP_QAdRGplKnuhsKJoXo7nBUqRVuYjkitZKimPNQL_9VEd32qtoob6BcPT4VT0t4nOboTlxYl1n-VzY2g3OfBBVuYnPxU9Z5/s400/%EA%B0%95%EA%B0%95%EC%88%98%EC%9B%94%EB%9E%98.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242389286234722594" /></a>"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-30913812296729992372008-09-02T21:50:00.000-07:002008-09-03T21:16:44.908-07:00Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 30<< Royal Tomb-Jeongneung(neung meaning tomb) >><br />In Seoul, there are five gigantic royal tombs: Jeongneung, Seonneung(also known as Seonjeongneung), Heonilleung, Taegangneung, Uireung. Among these tombs, I would like to introduce, Jeongneung, the first royal tomb from Joseon Dynasty.<br /><br />Jeongneung is the tomb of the first queen of Joseon Dynasty, Sindeok(lawful second wife of the first king of Joseon Dynasty, King Taejo). <br /><br />Since she was the second wife, King Taejo's heir(fifth son of King Taejo's first wife who died before Taejo became a king), King Taejong treated it coldly and even separately buried his father, King Taejo against King Taejo's last will(burying him next to his dead second wife Sindeok). And King Taejong moved the tomb of Queen Sindeok to Yangju(楊州), Saeulhallok(沙乙閑麓), the current place of the Jeongneung.<br /><br />Then King Taejong put the ancestral tablet of Queen Sinui with that of King Taejo in the ancestral shrine of the royal family and treated his dead mom as his dead father's only lawful wife (demoting queen Sindeok to a royal concubine). <br /><br />Unable to be placed in the ancestral shrine of the royal family, Jeongneung was left as a nameless tomb for several hundred years. However, in 1669, King Hyeonjong in his 10th year restored Jeongneung for the first time in 260 years. <br /><br />On the first day when Queen Sindeok was placed in the ancestral shrine of the royal family with her recovered title of Queen, the rain poured down in the entire area of the Jeongneung. <br />This rain was called the Sewonjiu (洗寃之雨, a rain to ease Queen’s ill feeling).<br /><br />-images of Jeongneung<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUi8rFUC6A1lKlKCJcZGTQofLxgVqL3ImqlnpG6O6H6FiKv7N9fxX_ubZLtJbK6GIilidKA7qUPQEnekIGouScwhdF8CwjfHEcZ4OddP6Pw2IKEPdWNf25Usr36QZkKTM2ERhn03OzFiw/s1600-h/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%895.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJUi8rFUC6A1lKlKCJcZGTQofLxgVqL3ImqlnpG6O6H6FiKv7N9fxX_ubZLtJbK6GIilidKA7qUPQEnekIGouScwhdF8CwjfHEcZ4OddP6Pw2IKEPdWNf25Usr36QZkKTM2ERhn03OzFiw/s400/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%895.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242014021942579474" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_kNDHEDZadKKwL5xodH4SmYuq_RJ6zmN-P29H6vTFaeeFrnz_2yvtzWBYVpHZpb-mM2HUyoKjZuhLuqIDltYxTAOaeReHccFsGuYW045-JyOVuY6hqPj1EaULLOZQ6rq5YY0X2Ktqgdzn/s1600-h/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%894.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_kNDHEDZadKKwL5xodH4SmYuq_RJ6zmN-P29H6vTFaeeFrnz_2yvtzWBYVpHZpb-mM2HUyoKjZuhLuqIDltYxTAOaeReHccFsGuYW045-JyOVuY6hqPj1EaULLOZQ6rq5YY0X2Ktqgdzn/s400/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%894.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242014344618220658" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGGZfyX8GNc-_FHTUH4CApgppiwBkonr_3aZ-HsrV4ywHj7mKOcBXEFL2MxIkONvFvJA3Nwm_yg5TzCRbegUID7340-rS6yq93JDZhalywCTK-o5a5zjGKAiZPAwslox3oZx02rVJzFnqD/s1600-h/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%892.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGGZfyX8GNc-_FHTUH4CApgppiwBkonr_3aZ-HsrV4ywHj7mKOcBXEFL2MxIkONvFvJA3Nwm_yg5TzCRbegUID7340-rS6yq93JDZhalywCTK-o5a5zjGKAiZPAwslox3oZx02rVJzFnqD/s400/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%892.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242014499778988706" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-BXTXS4RKSR2s0O147t2kJBt6lkxNB39xiGchPe7phgTmVEOQbETO3Wh2X4ylhNCJI1sfukCpy-BxiIfx5bB526B4n7nROvYZBoHOn8_1n1WiB0K8IF6mq4gaxw2IcIX9tDfd1GsHFtdP/s1600-h/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%893.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-BXTXS4RKSR2s0O147t2kJBt6lkxNB39xiGchPe7phgTmVEOQbETO3Wh2X4ylhNCJI1sfukCpy-BxiIfx5bB526B4n7nROvYZBoHOn8_1n1WiB0K8IF6mq4gaxw2IcIX9tDfd1GsHFtdP/s400/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%893.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242014653640679218" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSUl9kt3c1tx79DiqwF-A1QzSHyMzwGrfCFOrl4MRpccSVZzQJvPma3C2jyql97j_o0g_3159ukLdd3xv2n1RzZyGmg-g9lBcAVlLOtKcjXyuNu9dqoUwBtAKN7qg8zVnNb0tPCKQJm_3n/s1600-h/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%89.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiSUl9kt3c1tx79DiqwF-A1QzSHyMzwGrfCFOrl4MRpccSVZzQJvPma3C2jyql97j_o0g_3159ukLdd3xv2n1RzZyGmg-g9lBcAVlLOtKcjXyuNu9dqoUwBtAKN7qg8zVnNb0tPCKQJm_3n/s400/%EC%A0%95%EB%A6%89.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5242015223039915602" /></a>"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-7786959896727992962008-09-02T19:31:00.000-07:002008-09-03T17:26:03.935-07:00Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 29<< "Ga Roo Su(Street Tree) Gil(Street)" >><br />These days in Seoul, open lot cafes and street shops are the "It" items in Seoulites' life.<br />The "Street Trees" Stree is the result of this current trend in Seoul.

After built in 1946, it went through various changes: temporarily moving the campus to Daejeon during Korean War, altering the school to Fine-Arts only institution (nowadays the school also has Department of Radio Science & Communication Engineering in the College of Engineering at the Seoul campus), having second campus in Chungcheongnam-do, expanding the buildings due to increasing number of students, etc.<br /><br />Nowadays, Hongik University area is known as the mecca of trend setting center of Korean youngs, the mixture of diverse and unique culture, Korean indie culture, chic cafes, clubs, and restaurants.<br /><br />Many Koreans spend their free time in Hongik Univ. town usually strolling up and down the streets around the campus, hopping into cafes, karaokes, or restaurants.<br /><br />On weekends, flee markets take place around the campus. Anyone who wishes to sell handmade crafts can sell their goods and people can spend their time looking at the goods.<br /><br />At nights, the campus area undergoes a slight change. It still maintains its vibrant and enthusiastic mood but its mood becomes more "free" and a bit "wild."<br />Unlike during the day, the campus area gets covered with never dying lights and music. Young "party animals" can spend the entire night clubbing at multiple clubs and listening to music.<br /><br />If anyone wishes to take a peek at young Koreans' entertainment life, do visit Hongik University area. :-)"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5990850001830996240.post-44713901100886503822008-08-21T20:29:00.000-07:002008-08-31T16:56:54.121-07:00Places to Go... in Seoul!!! :-) # 27<< National Museum of Korea >> <br />Among the numerous museums in Seoul, National Museum of Korea in Yongsan is one of the grandest museums covering not only Korean history but also that of world.<br /><br />-Ancient Gold Crown from Shilla era during 5th century(National Treasure No. 191)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIqaksTW5nvyEYwcatI85F3HrqCZlb1DUlB1s2YP_aBn-KZMc6bF8EEsYsKSvZWzsIg4YV7O0w710eHP5Rfoyce9sMUohSOjEYO4MB1Nsrt6zbfehGpNMxWhYsAZUwdu5DF6Ig0qpJtDu/s1600-h/gold+crown.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjIqaksTW5nvyEYwcatI85F3HrqCZlb1DUlB1s2YP_aBn-KZMc6bF8EEsYsKSvZWzsIg4YV7O0w710eHP5Rfoyce9sMUohSOjEYO4MB1Nsrt6zbfehGpNMxWhYsAZUwdu5DF6Ig0qpJtDu/s400/gold+crown.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239437782581449506" /></a>-Gold Diadem Ornaments from Baekje era(National Treasure No. 155)<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhas72yyNTQPgCgTjRuq3frFPDz8nPzAKrvLLdpcstpBc1Loje76xsJCb3CSMZDDiESO0RGqenkiNQDUy1b8KoMkoiBHNStvZUqTZcWeMbZXrj_5bZ4ljujtB85pYwVJVIwCOgmQLOhAiWM/s1600-h/gold+diadem+ornaments.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhas72yyNTQPgCgTjRuq3frFPDz8nPzAKrvLLdpcstpBc1Loje76xsJCb3CSMZDDiESO0RGqenkiNQDUy1b8KoMkoiBHNStvZUqTZcWeMbZXrj_5bZ4ljujtB85pYwVJVIwCOgmQLOhAiWM/s400/gold+diadem+ornaments.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239440487416047442" /></a>-Gold Book for the Investiture of the Prince Imperial<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhanWxOIulVC5MdX08BxakRoF2fYPqacgaWnBfQR3woQMEceUWQ3Xf1ItwnD_4texgoZoMk3uTxObrHJUlvod19VCVqN3UDTEh9DEdcOZ1A0Oeei5pJiXGm0v7B686ML8xCs959I3ioeC/s1600-h/gold+book+for+the+investiture+of+the+prince+imperial.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhzhanWxOIulVC5MdX08BxakRoF2fYPqacgaWnBfQR3woQMEceUWQ3Xf1ItwnD_4texgoZoMk3uTxObrHJUlvod19VCVqN3UDTEh9DEdcOZ1A0Oeei5pJiXGm0v7B686ML8xCs959I3ioeC/s400/gold+book+for+the+investiture+of+the+prince+imperial.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239442822113995282" /></a>"Unofficial" Seoul Advertiser :-)http://www.blogger.com/profile/14497750101951917677noreply@blogger.com0
