Wednesday Walk to the Ramyun Cafeteria?

Happy Wednesday! It is time for a Wednesday walk! :)

It is the first Wednesday walk this month :)

Have you ever heard about Korean instant noodles? One of the most popular brands is called nonshin and they are producing a so-called shinramyun. And they opened a pop-up store in Seoul to celebrate their new type of ramyun and collaboration with zepeto. I am not familiar with zepeto. I don't really know what it is. Nope. I didn't know what it is until I visited the pop-up store. Well, actually they call it a cafeteria, but I think it is a store :)

It is located in Seoul, and it takes around 20mins by metro and 1 hour to walk from my place. I decided to walk there, and I started regretting it after 5 mins. Why? Because it was freezing cold outside, and I had to cross the river, and on the riverside it was terrible! But since I already started walking and I was too lazy to search for the nearest bus station or subway station, I kept walking :)

Sorry, it was too cold and I didn't take my hands off the pockets :)

The ramyun pop-up store wasn't really huge. It took me around 20 mins to check it all. However, in a very small space, they managed to put a lot of interesting stuff inside it.

There was a corridor with the main company's chronology from the date it was founded until today. By the way, the company was founded in 1986.

Also, there were a lot of different experience zones which visitors can try for free. I even won a cup of instant noodles :)

There was a free tasting zone as well, but there are particular hours when it works. I wasn't hungry and I didn't want to wait for it, so I decided to leave.

The entrance to the pop-up store was free of charge.

And after it, I went back home. Of course, this time I took a metro :)

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. There is a baby island in Ganwol-do. This little island is open twice a day at high tide and low tide, about 30m long, and becomes an island and land. On this palm-sized island, there is a small-sized Ganwolam. A story of Ganwolam Ganwoldo means...

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...
