Team I just came across this neat little coffee shop chain today.
I was just walking along the road to my selected place today, that being the Amsa-dong prehistoric settlement, when I came across this little franchise.
I was quite tweeked by this discovery so I decided to investigate further.
I was quite impressed so I was.
The store looked good. The place was tidy. The menu is plentiful. And my Jasmine tea for today was stirling indeed !!!

Amsa-dong Prehistoric Settlement Site
Hi there team,
Today I decided to venture to Amsa-dong and see the prehistoric settlement village thats there.
Amsa-dong Prehistoric Site is a recreation of the largest neolithic site in Korea. Based near the Han River, the settlement was first inhabited by people 6,000 years ago.
The area that the site is on is basically full of pit huts and pit houses, and reflects upon a time when people existed on hunting, fishing and gathering for their existence. The local economy of the time in the area was indeed very much based on manual labor, so people of the time were also heavily involved in the manufacture of fishing nets, stone produce and spears to support the hunter gatherer lifestyle near the Han River.
Fishing and the fish industry was not the only source of food supply for the people on the Han River area. Acorns were also discovered in the area.
People in this area lived in Pit Houses, which were built by digging holes in the ground and covering the holes with huts.
The huts also had storage pits measuring 2 metres in diameter.
You can see it all here team

All in all it wasnt too bad team. It was a nice way to spend an afternoon and its something I recommend you go and check out.

Lotte World Folk Museum
Hi there team. I am going to keep on with the history theme that seems to have started on this blog for the moment. I managed to get in and see the Lotte World Folk Museum, which is located on the third floor of the Lotte Department Store complex in Jamsil in Seoul, and is basically the entrance to the Lotte World theme park area. I made my mind up last week that I would do it today so after finishing my teaching job for the day at 12pm, I took myself up on that plan.
And it was a good thing I did.
I say that because even though the actual area of the museum is small, there was enough scenery, situation, and scent to give a really good feeling to the museum and its ideal of providing a small yet solid depiction of the history of Korea.
It really did start right at the entrance to the museum. It was like you were walking into a temple, with the initial set depicting a type of Korean architecture that is common place amongst the many temples and shrines in Korea. Admittedly I am unsure of the era of the architecture involved, yet I must say that it did appear to have what looked like a strong chinese influence.
But hehehe thats about the only Chinese stuff you are likely to see in the museum. The entrance being done away, the path then leads on to a rather solid insite into Korean history through the use of model, act, and visual.
The museum is pretty much divided up into sections. You have a Traditional Wedding Hall, a historic exhibition hall, a miniature village, a performance hall and a Jeojagori where you can sample some delightful Korean traditional food.
The Jeojagori is pretty much the first place most people in the museum tend to encounter when they first come in. It is pretty much divided up into four sections, named Songpa, Jumak, Seokchon, and Mongcheon. Each of these sections contains food that is said to be representative of the food eaten in Korea during the Joseon Period, a period which lasted for 5 centuries from the year 1392 to 1910, when the Japanese entered Korea and pretty much colonised it.
You know what team, I honestly believe that there would have been many fat people in Korea in this time. Do you know why I feel this ??? Well, if the food I was able to look at today was any indication, people would have eaten so much of it because it was so damn good !!!!!! Many Korean specialities that are around today were the staple of the diet back then, and these included well known Korean favourites such as Bulgogi, Octopus jeon-gol ( a type of Octopus soup ), Spiced soup with room, Pajeon ( a kind of pancake ), a traditional Korean alcoholic drink named Makkeoli, Bibimbap ( rice and veg ), spicy bean soup, cold noodle soup, and Samgyetang ( Ginseng Chicken Soup ).
Now thats a feast that is sure fit for a king let me tell ya !!!
After leaving the sweet scents and aromas of the Jeojagori, I ventured through to the traditional wedding area of the museum. I must say I was quite interested to see the various exhibits pertaining to the customs and culture of a traditional Korean wedding, especially as I was able to witness an enactment of one. A traditional Korean wedding is not too disimilar from a western wedding, yet has quite a few little intricate differences that really do set it apart.
Back in historic ages, the wedding was generally held at the brides house, with the groom coming over to pick up the bride and take her back to his parents house, where they would live together. The wedding costumes would be very traditional in nature, and the grooms family would carry a chest of gifts to the brides family. Both the man and woman would wear what is called a Jeogori, which is a form of wedding jacket, special headware, and Hanbok, the traditional Korean dress.
Aside from special clothing and costumes, the Korean Wedding also shares what you could say was a set procession for things to happen. It was generally common practice that the bridegroom would arrive first, and would of course be followed by the bride. Both would reach the altar where I do believe it was a buddhist priest would perform the ceremony. The next thing to happen would be the offering of a goose, as a sign of good luck for the married couple. Traditional wedding bows would then take place, and there would be a kind of toast to celebrate the wedding. The final act would be of course the procession out of the house as newlyweds off to lead their new lives.
Just as I decided to head off to the main exhibition hall hehehe. This part of the museum was quite visual and stimulating indeed.
The Hall is pretty much divided into 7 different little subsections, each little sub talking about a different part of Korea's history.
You have the prehistoric room where you can see exhibits displaying life from the caveman period, caves, huts, the making of bronze and relics from this time. You can then go to the Goguryeo and Baekje rooms, where you will see tomb relics, early buddhist exhibits, and tomb relics from the King Muryeong period. Heading into the Gaya room, you can early exhibits of Korean iron and pottery development, much of which would eventually be used in Goryeo pottery, a famed Korean pottery set. In the Silla room, you can see an exhibit for the Daewangnam Rock, which is said to be the underwater tomb for King Minmu. You can also see Sokkuram Cave Temple, and also meet up with an exhibit of Queen Sundeok. Heading from the Silla room to the Goryeo Room, where you can see exhibits of the pottery making and metal fabricating that took place in Goryeo era, said to be a proud era for Koreans. Another great thing to see here is the Goryeo Tripitaka, often referred to as the corner stone of the development of Korean buddhism.
Its from here that you can pretty leave the main hall and go into the Miniature Village room. The miniature village has over 2000 little characters set up over 43 different scenes. You can see the model scale depicting life in the joseon dynasty, showing such things as Royal Court proceedings, Harvesting, Kimchi making, Sacrifices, Funerals, weddings and even a 60th birthday !!!!! hehehe ... got to have a little celebration huh !!!!
So there you have it team. Lotte World Folk village really has gone to great lengths to give people a great insite into the history of Korea. You can also pick up lots of souvenirs when there. I saw some wonderful little things that really are great depictions of Korea. I even bought a museum T-Shirt hehehe ! Seriously team, if you want to see some wonderful Korean history, you really should check out the Lotte World Folk Museum. You will not be disappointed.

Interesting things to do in Korea
Well team its not long now until I head back to the Land of the Morning Calm !! My visa is in hand, my contract signed and I am just waiting for my ticket to arrive and then its up, up and away !! I just hope that I get to fly Singapore Airlines this time ( I really want to try them - I have tried cathay pacific and Malaysian, so now I have got to travel with Singapore from my home town in Adelaide, Australia. ) . I also want to charm Singapre girl hehehe !!
All in all, I am really quite excited to be going back. I feel that, even though I have already lived in Korea for 3 years, there is still so much for me to see and do. I really want to open my mind a lot more to this wonderful country and experience more and more of what it has to offer.
I really want to try and cross Korea a few times and capture all of it. From the temples, to Apkujeong, to various festivals, to maybe even trying some differing foods; I want to do a lot. So lets get started on what I want to do yes !!!! Okay ... ready ... set... and here we go !!!!!
Well, lets start off with where I will be staying. I will be staying in a place called Songpa-gu, a part of Seoul that has been touted as a major economic development hub. One place that I really want to visit is the Garden 5, one stop shopping distribution hub with over 8,300 shops. It is widely required as the biggest shopping mall in Asia. You can see it here
Thanks to 박미례 and wikipedia for this image. This place looks pretty good in the picture hehe. It might just even make me like shopping after all hehehe.
Another place I would like to vist in Songpa-gu is the Garak Market. Garak Market is a major distribution point for maritime and agricultural produce, much of which is completely eco-friendly. Sounds like somewhere for me to visit yes !!!
Aaaahhh !! I have just seen somewhere else I wish visit in Songpa-gu -- The Seokchon Lake area !! I have just seen a picture of it and I think that it looks really, really good indeed !! And while I am there I really must visit Lotte World amusement park !! Oh I can see it now I will feel happy, excitable, and just like a little kid again running around on all the rides. tides and fun things to do there ! I hope I can see Mickey Mouse there yes !? Oh damn man .. hang on Mickey is in Disney World yes ... Oh poop !!! Hehehe ! Check this out
This is a picture of the Seokchon Lake area in Songpa-gu. If you look a little closer, in the top half of the lake lol, you can see Lotte World right in the middle of the water. Check it out here.
Theres nothing like a little indoor theme park to get you in the mood for some fine yes !!! Thanks to Khitai, 박미례, and wikipedia for the above pictures.
Hmmm this just makes me want to stay in Songpa-gu - BUT ALL SONGPA-GU AND NO WHERE ELSE WILL JUST MAKE JAMES A BORING PERSON LOL !! I think I know just the place to fix this little ill..........
APKUJEONG !!!!!
Seriously team, this place rocks. I was lucky enough to get to Apkujeong and neighbouring Kangnam when I was living in Seoul, but trust me, my appetite has been seriously whetted and I want to see more !!! Put simply team, Apkujeong is the centre of opulence in Korea. Period. If you want to go Lamborghini, celebrity, Louis Vitton, Dolce and Gabbana, Latte, and lots-a-dollar-ama watching, the Apkujeong is your place !!!
Put simply, Apkujeong is known for 2 things - HIGH END SHOPPING AND A HIGH END NIGHTLIFE scene. It is the home base for exclusive European brands such as Prada, Gucci and D and G, and Rodeo street is the home of Haute Couture fashion in Seoul. Its nightlife compliments it day life nicely. Absent are the dingy, dirty, basic clubs you may indeed find in SIncheon and Hongdae, being replaced by cool, suave jazz clubs, exclusive night spots for celebrity spotting, and some really high end stuff indeed.
Here is a basic picture of Apkujeong team.
However, if you want a really cool description of Apkujeong along with some great pics, then I seriously recommend you check out this article from Grace Travel. Its succinct, pleasant, informative and pretty much direct and straight to the point. Check it out here.
http://english.triptokorea.com/english/viewforum.php?f=352
Another place I really want to visit again is Kangnam. This is pretty much located next door to Apkujeong, and is often talked about in the same high level of esteem that Apkujeong is. Kangnam is pretty much the business capital of Korea, and houses many of the noted business houses in Korea, including AMI Korea, Google, and IBM.
One of the major streets in Kangnam is the Teheranno, or simply Tehran Street. As I said just prior, Kangnam is the the major business district in Korea, and Tehran Street really does opitimize this. Teheranno is the home of internet giants such as Daum, Naver and Yahoo; electrical giants Samsung and Hynix, and noteable financial institutions such as POSCO, Standard Chartered and Citibank. As a little footnote, its believed that somewhere in the vicinity of $200,000,000 in venture capital money has been invested in Teheranno ( You can see this on wikipedia too heheh .. right here...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teheranno
Heres a little visual of Teheranno and Kangnam
Another place I really want to visit is Jogye-Sa, one of the chief Buddhist temples in Korea. Its located in Jong-no, which pretty much located in the central part of Seoul.
Jogye-Sa is also probably the most well known of the temples amongst foreigners and it has several attractions to bring people to the temple. Visitors to the temple can here Buddhist Dharma talks, can take part in retreats, and participate in daily buddhist ceremonies.
You can see a little more on the temple site.
http://en.jogyesa.org
One other thing I also really want to this time around is finally catch some Baseball, Basketball and Soccer whilst here in Korea !!!!I seriously didnt catch any before, even though I lived really close to the home the Samsung Lions Baseball team and the Daegu World Cup soccer stadium !!!! Mind you being in Seoul will be good in that I will be living right near Jamsil Baseball stadium, and not too far away from Seoul World Cup Stadium. I am so looking forward to seeing some good old fashioned sports this time around !!! I also really want to try and get to see some K-1 and UFC this time around if possible also, and more so if Remy Bonjarsky and Mirko " Crocop " Filipovic are in the ring pounding the crap out of opponents. I might even try and get down to Busan and hit up Giants stadium to watch some Lotte Giants baseball in the summer time. Peek here
Daegu World Cup Stadium
Jamsil baseball stadium
Incheon Munhak stadium
Munhak Baseball Stadium, Incheon
Another place I really want to go to this summer is Haeundae Beach in Busan. Haeundae Beach is widely regarded as one of, if not the most popular beach in Korea, and has been heavily commercialised in the last few years. You can have a little look here.
Thanks to SJ Yang and wikipedia for the above pic.
Okay !!! Lol its time for me to rest up now hehehe. This of course is by no means an exhaustive list of where I wish to go this year, but hey - it is a start !!!! I will eventually get around to telling you more about the places I wish to go to, and will soon even tell you in more detail about my favourite city in Korea-DAEGU !! Daegu is a really cool place team and I really do look forward to letting you know about it ! seeya !!!
All in all, I am really quite excited to be going back. I feel that, even though I have already lived in Korea for 3 years, there is still so much for me to see and do. I really want to open my mind a lot more to this wonderful country and experience more and more of what it has to offer.
