Bamboo forest (Daenamu)

Daenamu (Bamboo forest) is located in Damyang. I love this way going to the forest.



And here's the information guide that we see at the entrance.


Damyang bamboo park is a theme park landscaped with bamboo. Stroll into the forest of bamboo trees and you will be greeted with clear and aromatic air that resembles that of deep scent of bamboo trees. Relax yourself and free your mind inside the bamboo forest.







The forest paths are surrounded by bamboo trees stretching high into the sky.



Inside the forest is this area that is a good place for a picnic.


The Bamboo Theme Park is a filming site for many movies, including Sword in the Moon (starring Choi Min Soo and Jo Jae Hyun) and Blue Swallow (starring Kim Joo Hyuk and Jang Jin Young), as well as TV dramas, such as Summer Scent (with Song Seung Hun and Son Ye Jin) and Damo (with Ha Ji Won and Lee Suh Jin).





And there are shops that sell stuffs which made of bamboos.

Nokchabat (Green tea plantation)

Nokchabat (Green tea plantation) is another famous place in Korea located in Boseong. Nokchabat in Boseong was often used as the backdrops of movies, TV dramas and TV advertisements. One of these is the summer scent, starring Song Seung Hun and Son Ye Jin.

I've been here once with my hubby, in laws and some relatives. It was out of our plan. We just dropped by on the way to hubby's aunt house so i couldn't take some pictures because my digicam wasn't with me.

One time, hubby asked me where i wanted to go so i didn't get a second thought to say that i wanted to see Boseong nokchabat again.

Here's the view on the way to nokchabat.


We see these trees near the gate.


I don't remember how much we paid for the admission fee but here's the view inside.

Tea bushes ascend the contours of the surrounding hills, rising in regular curves.




It's really awesome but interrupted only by the odd tree and a few small tombs.



Of course there are stores inside selling green tea flavoured products ranging from soap, noodles and rice cakes to ice cream . I'm not a big fond of green tea but i love ice cream so i bought this.


Here's also a scenic view outside the plantation.

Cheonghakdong

My mom in law called on the phone and said that she saw on tv a good place to visit. She was talking about Cheonghakdong.

Cheonghakdong Village, located at the southern foot of Samsanbong Peak on Mt. Jirisan, maintains the traditional style ... Cheonghakdong is one area where no harm was ever done under any circumstances in the turbulent history of Korea. Here's the view on the way to Cheonghakdong.








There are many korean traditional houses and some people who live there have long beard.





I couldn't take any picture of them but here's a tile wall with a picture of a man with long beard.



Cheonghakdong is famous for koreans because some parents send their children to learn Korean traditional manners while staying over at Cheonghakdong Village. Here's the school where they teach good manners to students.



I think most traditional places in Korea have this kind of trees. Koreans said that they send the bad spirits away.



And here's a museum. The wall is made up of stones. Click the picture to enlarge.

My broken pc

Oh my goodness! It has been a long time, hasn't it? I broke my pc again and my hubby said he's gonna fix it next month. Thanks guys for visiting my site although i couldn't visit you. For those who wanted to ex-link, i'll add you as soon as my pc fixed.

By the way, i have many pictures to show you as soon as i come back to blogging world.

Jumong

Jumong is a historical drama which aired on South Korea's MBC television network as a 45th Anniversary Special Drama. Originally set to be 60 but MBC decided to extend it to 81 episodes due to its popularity. I just saw some parts of it so i don't know much about this drama.



Hubby and I usually go out on weekends so we've decided to go to Samhanji Park in Naju where they shoot the drama Jumong. Tourists will never lose their way because of this sign boards that we see on the way to the park.







Near the parking lot are stores selling food and stuffs for kids related to the drama like swords, etc...



Here's the entrance door where we have to pay $3 dollars for the admission fee. Well, that's ok. It is worth seeing.



There are many walls and gates that they made for the drama. Here are some of the walls.







They also put some pictures of casts to the location where they shoot including some informations of the role they did in the drama.





And here are the korean traditional houses they made for the drama.









I don't know where they use this, but i love this picture because it shows the nice view of the theme park.

Mudeung San (Mt. Mudeung)

I love mountains but never tried to climb up because of hubby. He doesn't like hiking. He just love watching the nice view while driving.

I don't remember how many times i've been to mudeung san but i love this mountain. I like the fresh air and the curve road on the way to the mountain.


We'll see this bridge going to the park after passing the curve road.


Here's the park where we couldn't stay longer because of our dog.


We didn't know that dogs are not allowed in this park until somebody told us while we were taking a rest.


If we couldn't stay in the park, we are not allowed to enter the mountain either. We found out that there was a $500 dollar fine for those who caught up carrying a dog. So sad! I also remember that there is a stream but when we tried to go there, well, we saw again the sign for the pets. Ouch! So, we just stayed under the trees and relax. Anyway, the air is cool!

Dabang Agassi

Dabang (tea-room or coffee shop) Agassi (An unmarried or young woman). Dabang Agassi are the type of prostitute here in Korea who delivers coffee.



When you see someone riding in a back ride of a motorcycle with a very loud sound of music, that is dabang agassi carrying coffee. They always wear very short skirt or shorts that are too short matching with a sleeveless shirt.

The motorcycle they ride runs too fast and never follows the traffic signs. I think most drivers tick off when they get close to them because they just suddenly appear or pass without following the traffic lights.

I remember one Sunday morning when somebody doorbelled at home. My hubby looked at the screen and talked but the girl didn't say anything. Hubby asked again and she said nothing. Hubby opened the door and the girl suddenly said that the coffee came. Hubby said that he never ordered coffee. The girl suddenly left and we found out that the man next door ordered. hehehe...
