Western Front Line.....

After the heart pounding JSA tour, my journey between the South and North Korea continues. We headed next to Imjingak Tourist Resort, which is located 50 kilometers northwest of Seoul. It where you can see the Memorial Altar, Freedom Bridge, Unification Bell. Here it is less strict and not that intense like in JSA. You can take more pictures and can stroll the areas more freely but still with caution.

Between the Line.....

Watching war movies, documentaries & reading books about war particularly about north and south are some of the things I enjoy on my free time. Am I weird?? I just like history since high school days. I have so much respect with the Soldiers and people who have had experienced being in a war. Putting myself in their shoes, I don't know what will happen to me just hearing the loud sound of guns and bombs. I'll have nervous breakdown.

Lotte World 롯데월드

I've known Lotte World because of the drama Stairway to Heaven led by Kwon Sang Woo , Choi Ji Woo & Kim Tae Hee. Since then I included it in my Seoul Bucket list . Filming drama on it really has a big impact on SK's tourism.. I think so... Aside from that if the weather isn't in your favour you can still go out and enjoy, Lotte World is the best place to go. Since it has indoor  and outdoor Theme Park. So instead of sobbing and waiting for the rain to stop in your hotels you can go here and enjoy.

Songdo Central Park

My first blog after 2 years....ooohh quite long. I think this is the perks of having no work at the moment. I'll try to post a lot of my Summer and Spring in South Korea.

Its Springtime, was hoping to see it but in Songdo it's not yet time. I have been curious about Songdo by the influence of the Song Triplets in the Korean Series Return of Superman. It was almost known as the home of Song Daehan, Minguk and Manse (Song Il-Gooks Sons). It was 4 years ago when I first saw it on TV, but I always fail to include it in my itinerary. And finally now done!!

Outside Seoul.....Oido...

Well, I know most people visits the common tourist places..... But somehow I think it will be more fun to try some places that isn't a common ground. Since I have been in Seoul so many times that I tried to look for something new. My friend wanted to go to Oido for a very long time since watching "Foxy Lady"  aka "Whats up Fox?" Chun Jung Myung as the lead actor if you still remember way back 2006. It is the place where him & the older girl she likes talk about her illness and his feelings towards her etc...

Anyway so we decided to go there to finish her unfinished business.

Hyehwa Station: Marronier - Daehangno

Every station in Seoul Subway, there is an interesting place or things to do. I got off at Hyehwa Station to see Naksan Park and Ihwa Mural Village, but along the way I have discover a lot of things, that I didn't know that I was walking too long already.

I didn't know that this place was Daehangno & Marronier Park. Along the way there are many cute boutiques, coffee shops (which I like), restaurants, theatres. It is an entertainment street.

As you go, you'll see Marronier Park where you can enjoy listening to live musical performances, dance groups, Arts/ sculpture and young artists who will draw your portraits. Group of young people watching and a lot of family gathered around the park.

Daehangno is where you'll find a lot of performing arts & theaters. Youngsters are on the street selling tickets for the show. If only I have time when I was there I think I would watch it. So if you've got time, try watching one, who knows one of these new comer theatre actors and actress will become famous in the future. :)

In my point of view, this area is like a combination of Hongdae and Sinchon Station so it's not boring. A lot of fun things to do.

Here are some snapshots while I walk along the street.

Yeouido Strip (여의도)

Yeouido Park

Every time I'm in the Land of the Morning Calm, I prefer staying around Yeouido even though it's a bit far from the tourist area.

It is Seoul's Financial & Business district (aka Manhattan of Seoul), counterpart of Ayala, Makati in PH. Maybe that is why it feels like I'm home. It is surrounded by Han River. It can be reach by Subway station - Yeouido Line 5, National Assembly & Saetgang, which are both Line 9 (these are only the Stations that I've tried).
