Myeongdong : Sightseeing places in Seoul





 Seoul has many attractions. Typically, there are Gyeongbokgung, Myeongdong, and Namsan towers. This time, I want to deal with the sights of Seoul. Historical places like Gyeongbokgung are classified separately, and here I try to focus on good places to visit.
 
1. Myeong-dong

 Myeong-dong is located in Jung-gu, Seoul. If you want to know the most famous places in Seoul, Myeong-dong is a typical sightseeing place. Myeong-dong is now Korea's cultural and financial center, has a variety of attractions, and has many banks. There are many things to eat, too. If you plan to visit Myeong-dong, I recommend you to prepare cash. Because it sells a variety of foods on the streets.
 Myeong-dong was also designated as a special tourist destination for foreign tourists. So, if you stand on Myeong-dong Street, you might get confused. Chinese and Japanese are spontaneously written on the doorsteps of shops located on the streets, and those who promote are promoted in Chinese and Japanese! Occasionally, some Korean tourists are caught by passengers who pass through Myeong-dong Street and promote in Japanese language. Nowadays, many tourists come from Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
 It is true that Myeong-dong is always crowded, but especially Christmas Eve is the place where the most people gather. Korean newspapers and media have also relayed many of these scenes to the news. So if you plan to visit Myeong-dong on Christmas Eve, I do not want to recommend it. It is because of being crowded to crowd.
 For reference, Myeong - dong has the largest cathedral in Korea, Myeongdong Cathedral. It is a historic site dating back over 110 years since it was built in 1898 and is designated as Historic Site No. 258. Since Catholic University conducted the entrance ceremony at the Myeongdong Cathedral, students visited the Myeongdong Cathedral. Then, after the entrance ceremony was over, I had go Myeong-dong street with my friends.
 To go to Myeong-dong, you can get off at Myeong-dong Station on Seoul Subway Line 4 or you can get off at Ulji-ro 3-ga Station on the Seoul Subway Line No. 2 line. If you want to go to Myeong-dong starting from Seoul Station, you can go to Seoul Subway Line 4 and cross two stations. If you want to go to Myeong-dong from Gimpo Airport, take the airport railway and get off at Seoul Station. There is a way to go to Myeong-dong by connecting to Line 4. It will take about 40 minutes.

 The food to eat today is Gamdong-Ran. Do you know what Gamdong-Ran is? Interestingly, it is an egg that tasted is so 'touched'. 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. One egg contains 50 grams, and one pack contains 100 grams. Let's look at the nutrients. It is one standard for reference.

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

Image
 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,
