Seoul : Jongmyo Shrine

Early morning after breakfast, I went out walking towards the historical sites. There are tourist guide map which I took from Hotel reception. I just follow through the map and found out the palaces and other historical sites is just walking distance from place I stay. Horraaayyyy!!!! OMO!!!! now I feel like I should have stay longer...not enough time to cover this all. There is lots of walking and walking and walking..... every night back home with sore feet!!!!   First site I visited is Jongmyo Shrine (Chongmyo Shrine).

Seoul : Lantern Festival 2012

I was very lucky to stay at Jongno area during my trip in Seoul. The place I stayed is practically walking distance to many attractions and also convenient to get  subway to anywhere I want. One of the attraction is Cheonggye Stream which located about 5 minutes walking distance from place I stay. During my trip there is this  Festival going on along the Cheonggyecheon Stream. Over 30,000 lanterns of various sizes and shapes, depicting Joseon Dynasty lifestyles or representing company/org logo. The stretch of lantern is between Cheonggye Plaza and Seungyo Bridge. There are many activities going on, lantern making, lantern floating for good luck, lantern fortress building and wish hanji (traditional paper) hanging.   Cheonggye stream served many important functions since it flowing through the capital and restoring the Cheonggye Stream is the wisest the decision since it helps to recover 600 years of Seoul's history and culture and is helping Seoul be reborn as an ecologica

I am taking my sweet time to update my solo travel adventure in Seoul. On Thursday, 14th Nov 2012, I was very excited about this trip to DMZ , Pamju and 3rd Tunnel.  My new military boot, I bought the night before DMZ trip at one of the shoes wholesale market for 35,000 won. Same night , I bought another pair of boot for only 20,000 won. Crazy , huh!!!! When leaving for Malaysia , I was scratching my head on how to carry all this thing.... uwaaaaaa.... my luggage expanded. Thank God the USO office not so far walking from the subway station. The weather was chilling cold. This day trip organised by USO kooridoor who organised by UN  army there in south korea. My group basically the retired army from US and Europe country. Only 4 asian , myself and another 3 , I guess one from Japan, vietnamese and philipines. Many area can't even bring in the camera.... most of the time got to leave our bag in the bus. When take photo need to aim towards the north..
