Other Bits - My Korean Trip

I was going thru' some of my image files and saw that I had many more nice photos of my Korean trips. Here are a few more that I thought would be nice to share. Enjoy...

These were taken in the vicinity of the President's official office & Residence - the Blue House (as opposed to a White one I guess)

These were taken at the Nam San (Translation: Southern Mountain) tourist hotspot.

This was in Seoul CBD.

Another tourist hotspot - the Cheonggyecheon stream that runs about 10 km thru the CBD from the west to the east.

Other Bits - My Korea Trip

The following are snippets of my recent trip to Seoul, Korea. They have been grouped by their respective locations. Enjoy...

The Seoul Animation Center

The Korea House

Namdaemun (Great South Gate)

Kinda like our very own Chinatown where hawkers and stalls are strewn on either side of the streets.

And...some stuff that we won't see in our Chinatown. I believe they're marinated bugs.

Now, this I can do with more... =)

Shinsegae - Korea's very own Premier Shopping experience. Think of it as their version of Pavillion

Trinity - one of Shinsegae's exclusive brands.

Cheonggye-Cheon (Cheonggye Stream)
Located in the heart of Seoul, the 8.4km stream cuts across the city from west to east. It looks equally stunning in the day as in the night. Excellent for photos.

The iconic Dancing Fountain on Banpo Bridge (along the Han River)

The Myeong Dong Theatre in the heart of..., where else, but Myeong Dong?

Seoul National Museum

You could literally spend the entire day here as there are 4 floors of artifacts and on each floor, there are 2 wings. Each wing has 4 sections and runs for about 750 m each wing.

Deoksugung Palace

The National War Museum (at Yongsan)
It has many of the war vehicles & planes on display. A great place to visit as seeing the real tanks & planes is a totally different experience from what you see from pictures. The sheer size and magnificence can't be well represented unless you see them with your own eyes.

This is one of literally dozens of plaques that record the names of those who had died fighting the wars in Korea.


Samziegil - cultural/handicraft/shopping centre in Insadong.

On one of the balconies, you can see these cute critters grazing...

National Museum

National Folk Museum of Korea (located in Gyeongbokgung Palace)

The exit at Anguk Station of Line 3 is the best & closest location to the Folk Museum.
