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.

Namsan Tower : Sightseeing places in Seoul

 Namsan Tower is one of the famous landmarks of Seoul with the Han River. The height of the tower itself is 236.7m, which is low compared to other landmarks such as the Eiffel Tower and the Tokyo Tower.    It was completed on July 30, 1975. At first, there was no observation deck, but after that, a sightseeing observation deck was constructed and the present tower was completed. In the early days, it was not open to the public because of security problems, but on October 15, 1980, the observatory was opened. And it was reopened in 2005. From this time, the name will be changed to N Seoul Tower. I do not feel old because all the facilities have been modernized and the interiors have been careful while undergoing remodeling.    The tower is made up of seven floors and is quite large, and the top of the T7 floor is an observation tower with a slowly rotating floor. Namsan, where Namsan Tower is located, also has the remains of the Choson Dynasty. This is also a
