Seoul is a metropolitan city and it is absolutely breathtaking to overlook this huge city from up on high. The most well known view point of Seoul is N Seoul Tower. N Seoul Tower – A Romantic Island in the City N Seoul Tower is a great place, of course. However, I personally prefer Naksan Park when […]
Used Book Store can be Fancy
I recently visited two famous used bookstores, ‘Aladin’ and ‘YES24’. I often go to the used book store to sell my old books or buy some used books. I would like to let you know about Korean used book stores in Korea because they are really cool!!! ‘Aladin’ and ‘YES24’, both companies have their branch […]
PC Bang, Korean Internet Cafe

Things You Should Buy at the Korean Supermarket
I love checking out local supermarkets whenever I travel to other countries. Why? Because, I believe, a supermarket is the best place to meet locals and learn their lifestyle. Sometimes, I find items which are so foreign that I can’t guess what they are. I spend some time studying that item trying to figure out what it […]
Huwon Secret Garden of Changdeokgung
If I had to choose only one royal palace to visit in Seoul, it would be Changdeokgung Palace. I love all five main royal palaces in Seoul; Gyeongbokgung, Changdeokgung, Changgyeonggung, Deoksugung and Gyeonghuigung. Each of palaces has its own distinct beauty. Then, what makes Changdeokgung more appealing than others? 1) It is the most well-preserved royal place built by the Joseon Dynasty and served as the main palace […]

Seonyudo Park on the Han River
Seonyudo Park is on a small island on the Han River. I am sure of you knowing the ‘Han River’ and ‘Han River Park’ in Seoul. The Han River has a few of small Islets, such as Bamseom, Nodeulseom, Seonyudo and Yeouido. Some people used to live in islets until the islets have been disappeared […]
Seochon Hanok Village
I do love May in Korea. It is one of the best months to travel around Seoul. Sun is shining with a nice cool breeze, flowers are in full bloom, and there are lots of festivals around the city. It is also the best time to stroll around old parts of Seoul. There are a few Hanok Villages in […]
Changgyeonggung, Old Palace Night Opening
The old palace is usually ranked a must visit or a must see place. You may have ever been in Seoul and already visited a palace. Then, how about a night tour in the Palace? Gyeongbokgung Palace and Changgyeonggung Palace open at night several times a year. Walking around in the old palace at night […]
