travel to Koera

It was my second time to go to another country. I visited Korea after taking important entrance exams five years ago. It made me excited about this travel. I hope that I could visit other countries after going Japan, especially in Disneyland and Tokyo. Traveling made me know lots of different culture.
In this picture, we can see a coffee bar. It is a place that The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince also known as Coffee Prince is a 2007 South Korean television drama. This coffee bar is in the Hongdae Area which is a region in Seoul, South Korea near the Hongik University. It is known for its urban arts and independent company’s music culture, clubs and entertainments. The area is located in Mapo-gu in the western end of Seoul, stretching from Seogyo-dong to Hapjeong-dong.
Although I didn’t watch The 1st Shop of Coffee Prince’s all series, I knew this place is famous for Taiwan’s visitors to go sightseeing. For me, it is an interesting café for me to relieve my pressure that I had prepared the entrance exams for one year. Also, there is very beautiful scene and waiter and waitress are friendly behavior towards visitors.
Second picture is a place for Winter Sonata also known as Winter Love Story or Winter Ballad which is a South Korean television drama series in 2002. This place called Namisum, a tiny half-moon shaped island located in Chuncheon, South Korea, formed as it was inundated by the rising water of the North Han River as the result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam in 1944. Its name originated from General Nami treason during the reign of King Sejo, the seventh king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. Although his grave wasn't discovered, there were a pile of stones where his body was supposed to be buried. A tour company arranged the grave with soil and then developed Namisum into an amusement park.
Nami is home to several galleries and is the site of the Song Museum, which has a collection of international ethnic musical instruments. There are indoor and outdoor stages, facilities for seminars and workshops in addition to a 46-room modern hotel and 10 cottages. It’s so romance to take girlfriends or wives to this place. They can enjoy there’s beautiful scenery.
It’s very funny to see this performance. It’s called Nanta, a South Korean non-verbal comedy show that incooperate traditional samul nori rhythm. The musical has a simple back story of three cooks attempting to finish preparing a wedding banquet within a strict time limit while the manager installs his incompetent nephew among the kitchen staff. The show involves acrobatics, magic tricks, comedy and audience participation. The unifying element throughout the musical is the use of traditional Korean samul nori music, which in this case is performed with improvised instruments, such as cutting boards, water canisters and kitchen knives. The performance is almost completely non-verbal. The very few words which are spoken are mostly in English.
When I watched this Nanta first time, I was so surprised. They used lots of elements to make noise. Their plot was so amusing that it caught every audience’s eyes. I remember one part. An episode they took balls as salt and sugar and sprinkle on audience. We picked balls so hard. But when you left the auditorium, the staff asked you to give the ball back. I sneaky pick one and brought my home as a souvenir. It’s a secret.
