Noryangjin : Academy street in Seoul





3. Noryangjin
 
 Noryangjin, as its name suggests, was the main point of transportation for ships that used to come from Chemulpo. So, there is now ‘Noryangjin fish market’ in Noryangjin. Today we will look at Noryangjin. But the fish market is not the only thing to see in Noryangjin. The reason why Noryangjin is so famous is that there are many private educational institutes. Let's look at two aspects of Noryangjin.
 
(1) The Noryangjin fish market
 The Noryangjin fish market is the largest wholesale market for seafood in Seoul. It mainly handles seafood and seafood imported from various places. In some stores, you can also eat seafood such as sashimi and sushi directly. If you like aquatic products, it would be nice to go around there.
 
(2) Noryangjin private educational institutes street
 The reason why Noryangjin is so famous is because of the Noryangjin private educational institutes street. This is where you can prepare for examinations in a wide range of fields including public officials, police, and firefighters, starting from university entrance examinations. There are so many different institutes.
 In addition, the Gosiwon Village is formed. And there is a cafe, a reading room, and a study room. If you visit Noryangjin, you will easily see people wearing training wear and bags. They are candidates preparing for the exam.
 In fact, the more interesting thing about Noryangjin is that the food price of the area is very cheap due to the nature of the area where many students who do not have a lot of money live. You can see markets cheaper than Super-markets, and restaurant's food prices are the lowest in Seoul. There are many places that are cheaper than MacDonald's Big Mac. There are many foods that can be eaten lightly on the street. Typically, there is a CupBob(Cup-rice). There is also a Cupbob street in Noryangjin, so you can try cups of various flavors.
 But Noryangjin is not a good place to study. There are a lot of recreation rooms, PC rooms, karaoke rooms, bars and so on. If you walk around Noryangjin at night, the restaurants are full, there is no place in bars, and karaoke sometimes has to wait for an hour. Especially Friday night is the worst part. If you do not have enough strength, you may get caught up in revelry culture, and you may be wasting your study for a few years. So there are so many sad happenings in the Noryangjin. When they live in the Noryangjin and enjoy the full freedom without any nagging of their parents, they may be wasting their study for a few years...
 If you want to go to Noryangjin, you can get off at Noryangjin Station on Seoul Subway Line 1 or you can get off at Noryangjin Station on Seoul Subway Line 9.

 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.

 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 ...
