Christmas mood and Christmas market

Today we will go to the Christmas market in my district. It takes around 15 minutes of walking to get here. If be honest, they started installing Christmas decorations here at the end of October. So, we started waiting for Christmas for more than a month. And the interesting thing is that when you are surrounded by all those Christmas signs, you start feeling the Christmas vibes. And yes, I have had a Christmas mood since October. I even took out my Christmas cup (which I broke yesterday, so no photos of it...)

Anyways, let's look around. I took lots of photos but can't share them because in most photos I have people's faces. And I can't share their pictures without permission, some law issues here.

I think that place reflects the 'Alice in wonderland story, or maybe any other magic story. There is something like a labyrinth decorated with lights.

And in the centre, there is a huge Christmas tree with hundreds of lights and Christmas tree balls. You can go inside the tree. There is a space under it. And I really wanted to go inside and take a look, but there was a huge line. I stood for around 30 mins and couldn't pass even half of the line. So, I decided to come here back next time.

But here is the 'masterpiece' of that place! A real carousel! I saw how they were installing it. And every time I passed by it I thought it will be just a decoration. But no! People can ride it! And I had a short ride too :) It took me to childhood!... to the magic land!

It was an outside Christmas...I can't call it market, I think it is just Christmas land.

But that outside area belongs to the shopping mall and inside it, there is a small Christmas market. Unfortunately, without gluhwein. But there are a lot of amazing Christmas decorations and all of them are handmade!

Look at that free. I think it is the dream of any little boy! And if be honest, I don't mind having such a Christmas tree at my place too :)

So, my #WednesdayWalk was a walk to the magicland :) I hope, you enjoyed it and felt the Christmas vibes...

Welcome to Seoul National Cemetery

The weather is getting better and I try to travel as much as it is possible. It is hard to travel overseas, but if be honest, there are so many places to visit in Korea too. And I don’t think I will ever say that I visited all of them. Today I will take you to the Seoul National Cemetery. You may say ‘Uhhh…it is scary, it is creepy, but I am sure you will change your opinion after our online tour. Location The cemetery is located in Seoul on Dongjak Station (Subway Line 4 and 9). About Seoul National Cemetery During the difficult time in the 1940-50s when wars took the lives of soldiers, there was a need for a cemetery. In the beginning, most soldiers were buried in the local areas where they served. But an increasing number of deaths made it necessary to install the cemetery. During the search for the cemetery installation area, ten areas were explored in 7 rounds. And as a result, the current location of Dongjak-dong in Seoul was chosen. The cemetery site was confirmed and approved b

A Day Trip. The Last Spot - Ganwoldo

Do you remember that I had a day trip a couple of weeks ago? I started with Seosan city then visited International Tulip Festival , and in the end, I have been to Ganwoldo. And I will tell you about that beautiful place now. About Ganwoldo Ganwoldo is an island with an area of 0.88 km2, a coastline of 11 km, and a highest point of 70m. And it belongs to Seosan city. It was a small island located in Cheonsu Bay, but it is now land, not the sea, due to a large-scale reclamation project in 1984. First of all, there is an amazing view. Despite on wind, I enjoyed each minute spent there. One of the main attractions here is a Ganwolam Welcome to Ganwolam If you go to Ganwol-do, you can meet a mysterious and beautiful hermitage floating on the water.

Korean language courses in Korea

Travelling around is always awesome, and is full of positive emotions and memories. But during travel, we usually face different issues related to the foreign language. And today we will talk about South Korea and the Korean language. I started to study the Korean language in 2009 when I received a scholarship from Korean Foundation. My first language course was at Hanyang University. It was a short intensive program. The scholarship covered everything, except travel expenses. But still, it was a pretty good deal. The course duration is 3 weeks. A little bit of Korean language… Hangugo (한국어)— Korean language. Hanguk (한국)— Korea, Suffix ‘-o’ (-어) means ‘language’ During the courses, we stayed in the dormitory. There were 2 students in one room. The room was pretty wide: 2 tables, 2 beds, 2 wardrobes, toilet and shower room, etc. The classes were in another building. In order to get there from the dormitory, we could take a subway or free shuttle bus (about 15mins), or just walk (about 3
