I think Korean food are generally healthy for the body. Don't see much oil being used. The greens are very fresh. I like the local fruits too. I saw many persimmon trees like these all over Korea, even in Seoul city. Persimmon is one of my favourite fruits.

Posted By lieblingsg on 04/14/2008 10:36:50 PM Whats in Jeju? Is the water cold? Erm... not thinking of swimming in their sea right? Well, lots of nature (meaning mountain climbing sort of activity) and known for its seafood... and it's also known as a honeymoon island for the Koreans too. Somewhere very near to the Mysterious Rd, where vehicles and water can travel upwards, is a sex museum - International Sex Culture Museum (in fact, there are lots of museums on the island e.g. Teddy Bear, chocolate, green tea etc). hmmm... not sure if you are interested lah. we were following a tour group so didn't explore that area.

Posted By hyacinthus on 04/14/2008 09:45:08 PM On the way to Everland... DLI (Daehan Life Insurance) 63 Building another view. The observation deck (known as 63 Golden Tower) is on the top floor and is popular with tourists to get a good view of Seoul. This look like chocolate bar. hee hee.

This is the building where the popular Korean show My Girl was filmed. Remember the scene where the lead lady said if you hold your breath in the lift of this building and make a wish. it'll come true. ;)

Winter should be nice. but, I limit travel to places where temperature is between 15 to 25. Do share your winter pics too! Would love to see them! Maybe, start a new topic - Korea in Winter! --------------- These buildings looked like public flats to me. But, the local tour guide said they were private apartments.

LOL... that's why I say their Chinese breakfast sucks! ----------------------------- Shop and Eat till you drop. Here're some pictures taken near Dong Dae Mun. Doota! Rain was performing that night we were there... so many screaming fans! Police was there to maintain order. More pics - Hello apM and Migliore: Miglore is more for teenagers on level 1 & 2. Upper floors very boring... Migliore Smart to have stage performances outside every shopping centre... simply attracts the crowd... Food Stalls Pretty cold when I ate those... probably it's autumn time - temp around 18 deg celsius. Friendly stall owner asked if I want to eat fried new year cake. See the rectangle tray with red chilli stuff? I don't like fried new year cake in chilli sauce. Kimchi seafood pancake not bad. Outside Dong Dae Mun Stadium - this is where the baseball matches were held.
