But same with previous post (about 3 will try korean dishes^^), I will just post the top 3 I want to do there^^ which actually hard to decide T^T

Making 김치 (Kimchi) ~

food again LOL

as all of us know, kimchi is the famous side dishes in Korea. they even have a special day for making kimchi

it is 22 November, because making kimchi needs 22 ingredients *wow, i also just knew that haha

“The Korean traditional dish kimchi has already been selected as one of the five health foods in the world, yet it is being shunned by young generations these days. We decided to proclaim Kimchi Day to actively promote the superior quality of kimchi and develop kimchi culture,” Park Kun-young, the chairman of the Korea Kimchi Association and a professor in the Department of Food Science and Nutrition at Pusan National University, told Korea.net. (cr: theyeogiyo.com)

making kimchi together with family or friends look so fun. it’s not only about food but also togetherness^^

what else can make us happy besides food? kkk~

plus you make your own food with people that you love, share it with them.

plus two, it also a healthy food!

i ate kimchi at Korean restaurant here, and actually i’m not that into kimchi taste but still want to try the original korea taste and make it own my own 😀

Wearing Hanbok~

Touch Korea Tour - Hanbok - Hallyu

Touch Korea Tour – Hanbok – Hallyu

The cultural cloth from Korea! Where else I can find this culture if not from Korea^^

So it’s a must to do thing when I get there, no matter what.

Taking photo then walk around the castle, being a princess for only one day kkk~

I try to google some info about hanbok, and there are so many types of hanbok.

Hanbok has basically separated structure of top and bottom.
It can be divided to clothes for adults and kids and differentiated for seasons.
There is also separation of formal dress and everyday dress.– For Male Adults
Basic compositions of Hanbok for male adults are Baji (trousers) and Jeogori.
After wearing Baji for bottom and Jeogori for top, they wore
Jokki, Magoja, Durumagi (or Dopo) and Gat (or Gwan).
The compositions for events as wedding, memorial service and funeral
were also different from them. They wore white Durumagi or Dopo with Gat
and wore Sang-bok for funeral.
They wore Danryeong which was a uniform of officers regardless of their class
at the wedding ceremony.– For Female Adults
There are Chima for bottom, Jeogori for top and Magoja and
Durumagi for coat for female adults.
Sometimes they wore Baeja on Jeogori and they usually
wore Teol-baeja in winter.
They wore Hwalot or Wonsam which were the dress of women
in the palace for wedding ceremony
and wore Sang-bok for funeral. In 19th century when the length of Jeogori
was extremely short, they wore Sok-jeoksam and
Heoritti together with Jeogori to cover their breast or armpits.– For Male Kids
The everyday dresses for boys were same as those of male adults
but they wore Bokgeon on the head. Hanbok for only kids is
Dol-bok for the first birthday. Boys wore Heoritti (belt) which a lucky bag is
attached and a leopard printed Hogeon.
They also wore a clothes named Obangjang Durumagi with the color
of red, yellow, blue and white which has the meaning of bless of the life of the boy.– For Female Kids
Girls wore Chima, Jeogori, Baeja and Durumagi for everyday dresses
and wore Gule on the head to prevent from cold weather.
Girls also wore Obangjang Durumagi at their first birthday to wish their luck.Composition of Hanbok– Jeogori
It is a basic top cloth of Hanbok composed of body, collar,
outer collar at the adjusting part, and sleeves.
It is separated for men and women and is varied to materials, the way
it is made and the shapes.– Chima (Skirt)
Chima is a basic bottom wear for women and is simply
composed of body, belt and rope. There are Hot-chima, Gyeop-chima
and Nubi-chima for Geot-chima which is an everyday dress and
there are Mujigi and Daesum-chima for Sok-chima (inner skirt).
Seuran-chima and Daeran-chima are for formal dresses.
There are Pul-chima and Tong-chima varied by its shape of the skirt hem.– Baji (Trousers)
Baji is a basic bottom wear for men since the Age of the Three States.
They wore Heoritti (belt) and Daenim (belt for ankle).
Women also wore Baji named “Go” in the Age of Three States
but later they became to wear mainly Chima and Baji was worn as an inner dress.– Durumagi
The outer cloth of Hanbok and it is a cloth for going out.
People certainly wore Durumagi for going out then but recently
it has got the position as a formal dress that it has been worn
at the event as memorial services, Sebae (the New Year’s greetings)
and Dol-janchi of babies. The types of Durumagi are separated for seasons.
Gyeop-durumagi is for spring and fall, Hot-durumagi is for summer
and Som-durumagi is for winter.
The name of Durumagi came from the meaning that all sides are blocked.– Baeja
It is a cloth worn over Jeogori and has a shape of a vest without buttons.
It looks similar with Magoja but it has no sleeves.
It is for both men and women and cotton or wool are put in Baeja in winter.
It is separated as Jang-baeja and Dan-baeja to its length.– Beoseon
They correspond to the socks of these days and
both men and women wore them.
They were worn with be distinguished with the thing

Enjoying Korean Street Night~

it might sounds simple, but every country and city have a different feel at night.

Korea seems to be one of the best, with a lot of market at night, street snack and the people.

And Korea street food or 포장마차 (pojamangcha) are the one that makes me so excited!

Pojangmacha refers to small tented restaurants on wheels, or street stalls in South Korea which sell a variety of popular street foods such as hotteok, tteokbokki, sundae, odeng, and anju (dishes accompanied with drinking). It literally means “covered wagon” in Korean. They are largely divided into two kinds– one for snacks during the daytime and the other for drinking during the nighttime. The latter most commonly serves soju and anju more appropriate when consuming this alcoholic beverage. – wikipedia
