Land of Kimchi & Ginseng

Seoul is the capital of Korea with over 600 years of history. It is the heart of Korea’s culture and education as well as politics and economics. We have seen a group of people demostrating in downtown Seoul even at night.

Seoul is unique in that historical sites such as Gyeongbokgung Palace and Folk Museum which has modern cultural facilities coexist in harmony.

Korean Drama

I followed some of the Korean Dramas and love them alot.
Winter Sonata, My Sassy Girl, Full House, Jewel in the Palace are some of the popular ones.

    Ni Yin Gai Qu Beijing Lu Xing: Yi Ge Hen You Yi Se De Di Fang. Thank you for visiting my Beijing page. I had a great time there. I would move there in a snap: there are many quiet areas for such a large city.

    I loved kimchi & Korean Seaweed is the best, but the rest of the food was so-so. :)
