[Korea Traveling Guild] Go See Korean Traditional Places

If you are more into Korean Traditional Tour there are places in Seoul to see but if you really really want to only see and hear and smell the culture than I'll lead you outside of Seoul to Andong village.
It's Also the place where in 1999 England Queen Elizabeth the II visited

It took me a while to gather my courage inorder to decide to introduce Andong because expalining by words and picture of how to get there is a problem

HOW TO GET TO ANDONG VILLAGE!
You need to get to a Large Bus station Called Central City(Yup Korean love English), the Closest Subway station is Bus Terminal Station (고속터미널역) it's subway line 3, you could get there by the blue bus 142, 642, 148.
Now you need to get a ticket for this. You can go online to order or go to the ticket booth to buy. Ask for Andong. The online doesn't have English version so I advice you to have someone who is fluent in Korean or you will be lost for sure.
Once you get there you will notice alot of bus lines but no bus....In Andong there is only one bus/hour
Obviously you sould choose the Taxi for transportation.

Congradulations you arrived in Andong.

NOW WHERE TO GO?
-In Andong you should visit the street market, cheap and delicious food is waiting for you.
Get on a texi and go to Andong Gu C Jang.
-Go taste the Famous Andong Jim chicken! It inside the Andong Gu C Jang. Here the link to the Review I've wrote
- THIS IS A MUST THIS IS WHY I'VE BROUGH YOU HERE: Visit the Hahoe Folk Village, Get on a cap and say Hahoe, you need a ticket to go in. It caust 3,000wan
You can book a home to stay if you want to experience living in Korean traditional house. There is a small street market inside enjoy shopping. You can experience Korean Tea and how you drink it gracefully, you mostly will stroll and enjoy the view. I will not explain any more because I blieve exploring the unknown is one of the Traveling Enjoyment Secrets.

[Korea Traveling Guild] Gangnam Style? Where's the Heck is Gangnam?

These days it is all about Gangnam Style, Funny Music Video and Psy's funny dance not only gave joy to people around the world but also addiction. hehe.

This is the PSY's Gangnam Style if you haven't watched it yet


I'm not a big fan of this type of music(I'm more of classic lover) but I'll say the music video is hillarious!

Anyways Today I'll intorduce you to Gangnam.

Gangnam is the place of youth, all the fashion trend, best food, best service(More Money you have You can experience because its also the place where all the rich people make money and spend it), best partying places, etc, basically anything that's "HOT". Because of such reputation anything here is expensive.

HOW TO GET THERE:
To get to the place where Gangnam most populated place (well rest of the Gangnam is all residential area) go to Gangnam Station (if you don't know how to use Korean subway here's a post I put up) It doesn't matter which gate you come out because each gate is the edge of the Gangnam Center. (It's not very long and you have to roam around narrow streets but You'll enjoy the City lifestyle of Gangnam

 


NOTE: If you are in Gangnam you can know for sure if you can see straight upwards black long blocks side along the wide road. If you go towards it you can take a picture and send it to your phone. I don't know if you can see it in this picture but it's the white long light.
 
 
WHAT YOU CANNOT MISS
Since it's the place of trend, you cannot miss shopping!
Also go watch a movie or two or maybe go out for dinner!
If you want visit the clubs there are best clubs in Gangnam!
