Sunday! Wahhh… our last day of our magical trip in Seoul! But we may as well make the most of it, we thought! We got up relatively early and made sure to do the majority of our packing before heading down to consume basically the entire breakfast buffet. Over breakfast we decided on our plan of attack …
After Music Core we headed towards the D-Cube City, which houses the D-Cube Arts Centre, which is where Rudolf was showing! I hadn’t been to D-Cube before but it was really interesting! I guess it was kind of a megaplex of shops, restaurants, a hotel and the theatre. To be honest though, I was pretty glad we had Adela with …
Ohhhhhh my gosh. MUSIC CORE! I was so excited! Last year I had the opportunity to attend as Media to KBS Music Bank, which was AWESOME live. I was really interested to see how they compare! So off we headed to Digital Media City where most of the channels are located. The area is pretty cool- with all …
The next day after Tour Day was the Saturday morning, and Hol and I woke up refreshed, excited and decided (rhyme!) we’d best spend the Lotte KOREA PASS that we’d also been given as part of the trip! The KOREA PASS is quite a useful little card- aimed for foreigners who don’t want to be …
I could hardly believe how much we had gotten through in just one day! Hanbok, tea ceremonies, traditional games-playing, many delicious lunch dishes, janggu classes, incredible Hanjeongsik dinners… And now it was nearing the end. My feelings were becoming very mixed by that point! I really wanted to watch the musical (of course), but I truly was …
When I was asked by the KTO what we would like to have for dinner as they were planning our tour, my mind was again captured once again by scenes from Kdrama. You know those scenes where the family gathers for meal times and the table is set with seemingly endless delicious looking dishes? Of course …
Back in Seoul we visited the National Gugak Center (formerly ‘The National Center for Korean Traditional Performing Arts’)- the primary institution for learning Korean traditional music. We took janggu class! It felt really good to be back playing 장구 ^.^ I had actually taken a 16-week Janggu course offered by the Korean Cultural Office in Sydney …
After working up quite the appetite playing competitive Tuho, it’s now lunch time! Both Hol and I really love tteokbokki (a spicy Korean snack food made of rice cake), so were delighted to visit a unique little café that served our favourite tteokbokki- but with a twist! The bowl of tteok was covered by a layer …
We had been provided a bit of a brief overview of our schedule for the filming Tour Day, but nothing could have prepared us for the incredible day ahead…! Soon after waking up we were both excitedly moving about the room getting ready for FILMING DAY, before heading down to enjoy the buffet breakfast at the …
Korean Air flies out of Kingsford Smith Airport in Sydney at 8:50am every morning, so we got to the airport nice and early on Thursday morning in time for our flight! I have always found Korean Air really easy and enjoyable to fly with. Not just because they have Kdramas on their inflight entertainment systems… but …
