Eurwangni Beach Incheon Korea

Eurwangni Beach is the last stop of my Korea journey. I was hoping I can use the last day to explore more of Korea by having free & easy time in the city. Due to the very early flight on the next day, I have chosen a hotel that is nearby the Incheon Airport but I didn't expeted this is a very small village without any entertainment nearby.

At first, I was a bit regret of choosing to stay at this hotel nearby the airport just for the convenient of catching the early flight. I don't feeling the same anymore after a night of discovery of this small little place.

The hotel I was staying is nearby Eurwangni Beach. We just need to cross a road and there's a beach to walk. There are more than 30 seafood restaurants along the beach and you can hardly choose and know which is the best to try.

I'm a person that love sunset and wanting to collect every sunset or sunrise pictures of every places I've been. As you know, if you are in the city, it's not easy to catch nice sunset shoots or the weather counts the most of the time too. I was pretty happy that I'm able to catch nice sunset photos here.

Since we still have some money left, we decided to have a great seafood dinner at one of the restaurants that cost us about MYR 400 ++ for 4 persons. It comes with a set. It first come with different shells of seafood from big to small by BBQ style. Maybe there's no people during that time, the owner has actually helps us to cook. You can refill whichever you think not enough any of the shells seafood. I wish I have enough space to refill the scallop. :)

Coming up next, we had a big plate of white meat sashimi. The fish is lively catched from the aquarium. It's taste so fresh, sweet and chewy. The first time I had so much sashimi without worrying how much I need to pay later.

The last is dish is a bowl of soup that cooked with the fish bone was cut for sashimi just now. I really missed my brothers during that time because 4 of us just feeling too full for this super great seafood dinner. Thumbs up and like!













Star Avenue Korea

This is the Star Avenue Korea. As usual, you can find some handsscripts of the Korea Superstars. It's located at the Lotte Duty Free Shop. After a full day walking around a shopping, it was a tiring day. I'm taking my very last effort of the day to take pictures of the Star Avenue while waiting for the others to gather.

Have fun shooting nice pictures with the Superstars!









Sarangchae Korea

Sarangchae the Korea Culture Village house located in Seoul. This is a place that you can see the actual structure of the olden days house. The woman will first see how's the kitchen looks like and they felt this is so difficult to cook in such kitchen type. The cooking utensils are so low and almost need to knee down to cook. I now feel the modern design is so nice and convenient.

If not mistaken, the big vats you saw from the picture below is for Kimchi. Oh....with so many vats how long they can consume for all? Look at the lowest picture that I'm having should be the "school bag" of the kids they use I guess.

This place is not very huge and you can spend maybe half hour time to finish the tour around the village.





 
 

Deoksugung Palace

Deoksugung Palace is the historical place about the olden days Korea kingdom. The palace of the olden days and you may able to catch up the royal match that they are still keeping until today. Generally the history of Korea is very similar to the China ancient days. That's a time where you can take pictures with different Generals but I'm sorry to tell what are they exactly posting. I'm too busy to take photos with them. If you know things of China history, you will know what I meant by looking the pictures below.

Honestly speaking, the area of the palace is huge but it's look very simple. I guess there's some modification done and beautified by the government. The Forbidden City of China should be must more complicated and huge. I was too tired over the journey and sorry to the tour guide that I have no more heart to listen the history of the palace.

Dear travellers, I'll let you to discover the history of the palace and make sure you find a good tour guide that could tell you everything!








Kimchi School and Hanbok

Kimchi is the main Korean food that you will find in every meal. No kidding! Kimchi is a must on the table during breakfast, lunch and dinner. So I guess every woman in Korea sure know how to make kimchi. Here we have the chance to learn how to make Kimchi too.

This is just a very basic class where we were tought the actual ingredients of Kimchi and told how to mix all the kimchi indredients (what I meant is the red colours marinate sauce). What we are actually doing during the class is the technic of applying the marinate sauce on the Chinese baggage and pack it nice.

You are wrong if you think you can owned this handmade kimchi of your work. These kimchi will be sending to the charity old folks home. You are doingone good thing during your visitation. :)

Once you finished the class, you can know experience the Korean national costume even you are marrying a Korean. :D No worry of getting charges by taking photos, you can take as many photo as you want till you are satisfied.

Enjoy your kimchi making process and Hanbok experience!

Nami Island, Korea

Nami Island - where the famous Korean drama "Winter Sonata" took place. Not much to intro of this place if you know the movie of Winter Sonata. Taking the pictures without the crowd is really hard thing because there are too many people here. I'm being lucky enough to shoot some pictures without any human behind or around me.

I think "Winter Sonata" has brought up the entertainment industry of Korea tremendously. Many tourist visiting Korea is by the affect of the Korean drama. The Korea government has turned these shooting places of drama became a hot spot of tourist attractions.

This drama was shown in year of 2002 and this place still a hot spot to visit after 10 years. The tourists are keep coming to Nami Island not only because it's a place of the famous drama shooting sites, but it's also because of it's well maintained park and keeps the nice scenery throughout the years.

Not only oversea tourists are here. The locals are here too. Korean are proud with this place and having such a nice place for weekend getaway.
