Jeonju, the Birthplace of Bibimbap
[2018.11.07-08] From Muju 무주 where we had our lunch, our very nice coach driver dropped us at the local bus interchange where we could catch our next ride to Jeonju 전주. Just the three of us. We bade farewell to our teachers and travel…
Of Sunset, Seafood and a General in Tongyeong
[2018.11.05-06] When in Tongyeong 통영, one most certainly must visit Yi Sun-Shin Park 이순신공원, named after Korea’s favourite hero. Although a little out of the way, this coastal park was our destination after exploring around the harbour. 1. Yi Sun-Shin Park Not unlike Gwanghwamun…
Tongyeong, Korea’s Beautiful Southern Port City
[2018.11.05] It was night fall by the time we arrived in Tongyeong 통영, just in time for dinner. Since Tongyeong is a port city right to the south of South Korea, we were expecting some form of seafood. And we were not disappointed. We…
More of Andong’s Unique Allure
[2018.11.04] The next morning, we checked out of the Andong hotel but it wasn’t the end of our exploration of the city. In fact, we got to spend another full day there before proceeding southwards. 1. DOSANSEOWON CONFUCIAN ACADEMY Another must-visit site in Andong…
Andong is More than Andong Jjimdak
[2018.11.04] Mention Andong 안동 and the quintessential dish most associated with the city must certainly come to mind. Sure, Andong Jjimdak 안동찜닭 (braised chicken) is truly delicious yet there are other hidden gems to be discovered in this city, and that was what our…
Sunsets at Haneul Sky Park and Naksan Park
[2018.11.01/02] A second visit to Haneul Sky Park 하늘공원 for me, at sunset. Here is where I chronicled my first visit, in comparison. The time of the day wasn’t the only difference though, this round a friend (not the mister) and I took public…
Charmed by Naejangsan National Park
[2018.11.10] Without a doubt, Naejangsan National Park 내장산국립공원 must be one of the most incredible places to see Fall colours in its full splendour in South Korea. Located in North Jeolla 전라 province, Naejangsan (literally translated as ‘the hidden mountain’) is, true to its name,…
Jeju, the Island of Gods D2: Outdoors
[01 Nov 2016] We were done with the indoor activities slightly after noon, and headed out for one of the waterfalls located at Seogwipo. While I planned for two, the mister decided to cut it down to just visiting one. Which one in particular, I…
Jeju, the Island of Gods D2: Indoors
[01 Nov 2016] The only full day we had in Jeju, and I had a lot of sightseeing packed for the day. It was a good start when we saw how good the weather was. A far cry from the overcast sky of the previous…
The Astounding ‘Park in the Sky’
[30 Oct 2016] The discovery of such a beautiful place in Seoul almost didn’t happen. While it was planned for, I had other prior commitment that might run late so this was a dispensable schedule on our itinerary. As luck would have it, the prior…
Of Traipsing Korean Palaces
[28 Oct 2016] Years ago, we went to South Korea for our mini honeymoon, during which we must have visited many of the palaces. But I don’t remember much, with it being more than a decade ago. This trip, we decided to revisit some…
