HongdaeGeori (Hongdae Street) : famous place in Seoul





2. Hongdae-Geori (Hongdae Street)
 
 The second sightseeing place is Hongdae Street. Hongdae Street is the street near Hongik Daehakkyo(Hongik University), literally the street near Hongik Daehakkyo. It is a place where the arts such as art and music have developed from ancient times. Even if you visit Hongdae street these days, you can see many busking teams. There are many clubs and famous brand stores. In fact, Hongdae street can be said that hipster culture has developed in Korea. Mostly students in their 10th to 20th year play a lot in Hongdae.
 Hongdae street is especially poisoned on Friday and Saturday night. If you go without thinking, you get caught up in the crowd. So if a person wants to go in a small time zone, I would recommend going in the daytime.
 If you make a promise to meet in Hongdae street, you do not have to worry about where to meet. Because there are road points all over Hongdae street. Hongik Univ. Station, Hongik University front door (Hong Mun-gwan), KT & G Sangsangmadang, Hongdae playground. For reference, the Hongdae Playground here refers to the playground opposite the main gate of Hongik University (Hong Mun-gwan). You can see that there is a playground near the exit of the airport railway infra-red zone, but it is not 'the Hongdae playground'.
 Hongdae Playground is the most famous space in Hongdae street. A flea market is held every Saturday. And after the flea market is over, there are many musicians gathering for performances.
 You can not talk about indie music when you talk about Hongdae street. Hongdae street is also a holy place of indie music in Korea. Many indie musicians who play various genres are created and disappear, and there are many concert halls. There is also a 'Union concert' which is organized by concert halls at the end of each month. If you are interested in Korean indie music, do not worry, go to Hongdae street last Friday every month!
 If you do not have the time, so if you only have to go to one place at Hongdae street, I recommend 'Hongdae Walking Street'. It is like the heart of Hongdae street area, the biggest hot place in Hongdae street. It is the center of Hongdae's attractions and the most central in terms of geography, and it is about the distance from Starbucks to KT & G Sangsangmadang in exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station. I recommend you stop by.
 If you want to go to Hongdae street, go to the exit 9 of Hongik Univ. Station of Seoul subway line 2. When you come out of Exit 9 and look at the left side, you will see a lot of crowds from there. Between the exit 8 and exit 9, there is my favorite KaKao friends' shop. If you have used KakaoTalk, I recommend you visit it once.

It is a type of egg that is sold in convenience store of Korea GS25, and the boiled egg itself is characterized by the salt liver. So it is easy to eat without salt. Also, it is more delicious to cook the egg so that the yolk does not become fully cooked when boiled. Today I am going to try the Gamdong-Ran.  As you can see in the picture, two eggs are packed in one pack. When you eat one, the other one eats soon. It's size is not large.

Green Car : How to use Car sharing in Korea

Image
 Do you know car sharing services? Maybe you should have heard it once. In general, car sharing means starting from the recognition that it is wasteful for purchasing a car. So a local or group to own a car to use a simple purpose vehicle, and then sharing it on a time scale basis.  However, in Korea, it started as a new car rental business by companies, and it is developed mainly in metropolitan and central cities. It is characterized by the fact that there is almost no car sharing zone in rural areas. So it was not easy to see car sharing cars in the area where I grew up. However, because I came to Seoul, I have a lot of chance to meet car sharing zones, and usually I can rent a car and use it.  Let's take a quick look at how to use it! In Korea, 'Socar' and 'Green Car' are typical services, but today I will explain 'Green Car' as an example.  First, sign up for membership in the Green car homepage or application.

KTX : How to book a KTX ticket online

 There are trains that are useful when traveling around Korea. It is 'Korea Train eXpress : KTX'. KTX is the name of high speed railway operated by KORAIL from April 1, 2004 and it is the highest class train operated by KORAIL. It has already been 10 years.  Perhaps it is fortunate that the high-speed railway is running in Korea, which is not very wide. Thanks to the high-speed rail, I can go to KTX in 2 hours and 30 minutes by bus, which takes 5 hours. The price is a bit expensive, but there is such convenience. (▲The thick line is the KTX route)  In fact, the speed of KTX is very fast. The maximum speed is 305 km / h, but most of the cases are traveling at 270 ~ 295 km / h on the high speed line. When the overall KTX operation is good, it runs at 300 ~ 305km / h. When driving more than 250km / h, the temporary speed of the moment is displayed at the upper left corner of the room monitor. It is fun and interesting if you watch. If you come to Korea,
