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.

 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,
