365 days INSIDE seoul

WHEN BACKPACKERS EXPERIENCE KOREAN LIFESTYLE !

Watching a Baseball Game in Seoul is definitely a must-see for me! 

Many people told me it was a bit boring and could last a long time.
For me, It was incredible and the time ran so fastly, I would have loved to stay longer!


First of all, you may wonder how to get the tickets? 

Don't worry too much, it's not necessary to buy tickets in advance. Just check the schedules here :
http://www.homeplate.kr/kbo-schedule
Choose the game, your team, and show up to the stadium 1 hour/30 min before the starting hour.
You might be able to buy a ticket.
2 Options : The green tickets in the outfield for 7.0 or 8.0 W
I would recommend the red seats so you will be able to see the mascots and cheerleaders. Believe me, the show worth it so much ! Price is 10/12.0 W


Here was my spot ! Not bad right ? In front of the cheerleaders and surrounded by dancing and singing supporters ! 


If you get lost, always remind to watch the screen. It helps. A little bit. I knew nothing about the rules and I was a bit confused until I figured out thanks to my Korean friend :3 And also, if you can read Korean, you can pretend to know the name of the players and sing !


Everytime our team was attacking (hitting the ball) there is a cheering song for the player. Which mean 1 player, 1 try = 1 song. IF the player hits the ball, the cheerleaders start a crazy dance with the mascot, it's very fun. So much that sometimes I even forgot to watch the game !


Suddenly, the screen was showing 2 girls. Actualy, it's a beer challenge. They picked one girl from each team and they have to finish their beer firts. Quite fun :D
We also had the opportunity to see one guy proposing his girl on the stage. So cute !


ANNNND on top of this, the seats are adapted for BEER ! ... Be careful, you can't buy beer after the 7th round (I don't know if I can call it a round, sorry for being so ignorant 0_0")

Of course, the stadium is full of restaurants. You may find fried chicken, barbecue, Korean food like teokkpoki, dumplings, ramen...Even convenience stores.
I had a bunch of fries :D (People from North of France will understand...)

Oh, by the way, I've seen Doosan vs LG, 2 teams from Seoul. I was with Doosan team in the stadium, and they lost. Kinda sad.




Hi there !

Today I decided I need a proper cooking training for Korean food. You may guess I'm not rich enough to subscribe to those fancy royal cuisine courses, so I decided to trust the beautiful internet and get some advice from Korean People.

First of all, I googled a random recipe of Kimchi Stew. Gather the ingredients from the closest supermarket and I was ready for my first cooking show :D

I trusted my feelings, and my talent !

Let me teach you, now that I'm experienced !

So, Kimchi jiggae is something you can cook in several ways. You just make it your own style, with the ingredients you prefer. I'm not a meat lover so I decided not to put Pork. Feel free to add some if you like it :)



Here is Kamy Style Kimchi Jiggae :3



One wise hostel owner once told me "The older your Kimchis are, The best is your kimchi stew".
I think we should keep this advice. My friend's mum offered me a LOT of her handmade Kimchi, so I guess "mummy kimchis" are very good quality :) - Also, I'm a tofu lover (Did I said that before ? xD)
so I'll combine it. It's actually sun tofu jiggae now.


I choose to add onions, mushrooms and green onions


One spoon of Gochujang


Sesame oil to fry the Kimchi...
I looooove the smell of this oil *_*


First part, fry onions, mushrooms, and kimchis together (Not green onions yet)



I added 3 glass of water for the soup. And some more after. Feeling :D
2 spoons of gochugaru (Chili powder)
1 spoon of gochujang (Chili paste)
Leave it boiling. (Feeling again)


When it's done, add the sun tofu and green onions, wait 5 more minutes and here you are !

So, remember, there are many other ways to cook it, add pork, use anchovy stock, some people put sugar... Try it and make it your way ^^!






Last weekend, I decided to explore Korea a little bit more and go on a 2 days trip to Yeongju with my friends!

Day one: We rented a car in Seoul and ride it to Yeongju! Rent a random motel and tried the local Maegkoli. Don't worry, if you can't drive, there are bus which are

Day two: It started with a Nice Tofu restaurant for Lunch, best way to start a day :)
I'm a tofu lover!









Such a nice view from our terrace! I felt immediately relax and started to feel on holidays from this place!

Then, we reached a typical village, called Seonbichon Village, and spent the afternoon walking around. It was a really nice place,  which is famous for its classical scholars’ loyalty and filial piety.




We could play some traditional games! It was really nice :)



Trying to be as cute as Korean people taking pictures there...And fail...


 For the drama experts reading this, here is the bridge where the lantern festival happened in Love in the Moonlight. Park Bo Gum was there. It was like a pilgrimage for me *_*




That made us hungry, so we decided to have dinner in a traditional restaurant (yes, everything was quite traditional during this trip !)





Cutest bibimbap I've eaten!


And here is where we spent the night! In a traditional (yes...) house, in the Yeongju Museum Village.
We wanted to experience Hanok stay, this place was so cute, I recommend it! 


Here is our little house :3


This is an attraction from this village. This bridge was build to connect the village to the city. It was the only way to get in and out of there and is 150 meters.

DAY 3, We visited the Buseoksa Temple. It's situated on a mountain, so you have to climb a bit to reach it, but the view worth it so much! 








 To sum up, it was such a lovely place, far from the city, very relaxing. I'm wondering if it's easy to go around with public transportation. Renting a car was really convenient.

I really recommend the Hanok stay tho!

Also, Yeongju is very close to Andong, so it's a good stopover for people traveling around Korea !


Today was a rainy holiday...
So rainy day means eating day !! (Who said that? me :D)
After a well deserved Japanese meal with Sofia, my Danish roommate, we decided we would also deserve a good dessert. Then we realized we wanted an exceptional dessert 
(I don't know why it escalated so fast)
After some researches, we were conquering Hyehwa looking for the famous and lovely Flower cafe !


The first struggle is to choose what you're gonna eat. Every single thing in the menu is too cute to be true!


When we finally decided what to fill our stomachs with, we ordered in this flower jungle :D
We got very excited after ordering, like kids waiting for dessert!


The atmosphere is very nice


Even Beer looks cute there ! :3


Now, it's time to eat !!!! :D


This is mine, strawberry smoothie with whip cream, ice cream and pieces of strawberries <3
Wonderful combo!


Here is Sofia's. A BIG cotton candy cloud on a cup !


That's definitely too cute !



The cotton candy was hiding fruits and vanilla ice cream !!

I highly recommend this place to all the cafe lovers! (or even just food lovers!)

How to get there ?
It's near Hyehwa Exit 1, walk straight and it's behind the "Marronier" park. When you see GS25, turn right and you'll see "Jeffrey"


Don't hesitate, the owner is lovely and the café is super well decorated. Lovely !



Yeah, I couldn't resist to this famous korean attraction park ! 
Lotte world is situated in Lotte Tower, in JAMSIL. 

The entry is quite pricy and you better go during a weekday when the koreans are working. 
I obviously went on a holiday so it was crowded like hell, but still I enjoyed (and my tickets were very cheap...good deals u know :P)
I also had an access to the aquarium, which was incredibly fun !

The main attractions in Lotte world have Virtual Reality ! 
I tried it and god it's amazing ! I look forward to play again !


This is a view of the indoor part ! I loved the atmosphere there, so friendly and fun !


Here we are! This is my friend Chan, who was my Couchsurfing host during my first trip to Korea! He became a really good friend here in Seoul! 


Ready for a clean and safe Virtual Reality game ! :D 


Of course, there is no funny trip in Korea without something crazy in your hair! I picked a cute chicken and Chan had a kinda spinning stuff (dunno how to call this ahaha !)

There was a huge choice, so don't worry, you'll find your perfect accessory for this day !
I actually forgot to take it out and went to Hongdae with this chick on my head. Kinda embarrassing. 


Some shows are happening all day long



And here is some pic from the aquarium




No, you're not dreaming. That's a BELUGA :O


I felt some pity for this animal. It's amazing to see it but it's too big to live in an aquarium... I love aquariums but it has to get limits...Beluga is far from the limit...

They have way more, it's very big, but I don't want to show you everything !
I think it worth it, the price is around 28,000Won, it's situated at the 3rd floor of the Lotte tower.

Lotte world is on the 1st floor, around the Exit 2 of Jamsil station.
The most expensive ticket is 50,000Won, which is actually the price for an attraction Park and it's way less expensive if you enter after 4pm or even after 7pm.

I recommend it if you've never experienced VR, it's incredible !
