  One of the largest events in the Korean beauty industry is the International Beauty Exhibition InterCharm. And today is the last day of the exhibition.

What does come to your mind when you hear the word Samsung? Digital and Electric stuff? Cell phones? TV? Notebook? Right. But, Samsung is also the founder of the largest amusement park in South Korea, which is called Everland. The park is located in Yeonin city and was built in 1976. Yeonin city is close to Seoul, about 50km from the centre of Seoul. It will take about 1–1,5hours to get there by bus. There are a few buses which go directly to Everland. There are 2 parks in Everland: water park Caribbean Bay and amusement park Everland. They are close to each other, just on opposite sides. And you can buy the tickets in front of the entrance. And you can decide whether to go one to one of them, or to both of them. So what about the ticket price? Adult ticket costs 54,000KRW or 54$. A youth ticket costs 46,000KRW or 46$. Tickets for kids cost 43,000KRW or 43$. Also, besides a one-day pass, there are evening tickets, which are about 9 dollars cheaper than regular tickets. The entrance wit

Last time we had a journey to Glass Island on Jeju island . We walked around the covered part of the island, and today we will continue our tour to the museum, and we will go to the open part of it. There are doors in the building which will bring us to the outside or park zone of the island. As soon as we step outside we can see a wall with a waterfall where glass fishes are swimming . With my not-perfect eyesight at the first moment,  I thought these fishes are real . And I was asking my friend how can we swim that way. A response I just heard a loud laugh… Well, Let’s go forward… This park or open area of the museum is like a small…no… big separate magic glass world . Close to the building you can see a cosy coffee corner with glass tables and chairs, glass dishes and plates.  Also, there are huge colourful cups swimming in the pond . That scene reminds me of the movie “Alice in wonderland”. By the way, the flowers on the pond are also made of glass.  Of course, there

Hi, Everyone! Travelling to Korea is not just about visiting Korean historical and cultural places, eating Korean food, watching traditional performances, etc. Travel to Korea is also might be a visiting Korean beauty fair, which opens about twice a year. Actually, there are much more beauty fairs in Korea, but a huge-scaled one is usually 1–2 times a year. In this post, I will share with you one of them, which is called Inter Charm. I have been to such Beauty Fairs many times. Just as a visitor, or as a part of my job, or just passing by. Usually, Beauty Fair takes a place in COEX (Seoul) or KINTEX (Ilsan) exhibition centers. I liked COEX one more, because it is located close to my place, and because COEX is not just an exhibition center, it is also a huge trade-shopping-business-conventional-entertainment, etc center. You can find a lot of stuff to do, to eat, to enjoy, to read, to shop…here. Like with many other festivals and fairs, InterCharm was also in Fall. It is usually October
