My Trip DiaryToday, I visited Hyunchungsa, a place dedicated to honoring the spirit of Admiral Yi Sun-sin.  One of the highlights was the old house where he lived for over ten years before getting married and passing the military examination. The museum houses an impressive collection of ancient books and artifacts, including the Nanjung Ilgi (War Diary), Imjinjangcho, Seogancheop, Sabuyuseo, an..

My Trip DiaryI find it tougher to shake off laziness than to splurge on quick weekend getaways.  Last week, I was captivated by the stunning beauty of Gongseri Cathedral, and this week, I set my sights on Cheonho Reservoir.  Just ten minutes after leaving home, a peaceful reservoir and walking path opened up before me.  The trail winding around the reservoir is perfect for unwinding from the hus..

My Trip DiaryAsan Oeam Village is referred to as a living folk museum. It still preserves the rural appearance of the late Joseon Dynasty, which is why it was designated as Important Folk Cultural Property No. 236 by the state. The village maintains traditional Korean houses, and most residents engage in agriculture, allowing the traditional rural village scenery to remain intact. When I get tir..
