Tongyeong - Part 2

I walked around 4 hours until 12.30 noon before I met Danielle, Kang Yong Hee and Kim Jae Joong (Not Hero of DBSK ok? Hehehe) for lunch.

Tongyeong is a city full of artists - painter, poet, dramatist. It is full of arts and their pride is General Yi Sun Sin - http://www.koreanhero.net/en/NationalHeroOfKorea.htm

Later I hiked Nammangsan Park. Generally you have to hike loads of hills in Korea but the view is breathtaking. Need to work out some legs..hehe.

The landscape is marvelous because of the trees.

A pavillion is a must in Korea.

Me with General!

I lost my way to find Sebyenggwan but this ahjusshi took his time off and be my tour guide for an hour! What a kind soul.

On my back is Sebyenggwan Guest House.







Later I met Danielle and her colleagues. On the left is Kim Jae Joong (not DBSK!) Heheh. Danielle likes this restaurant!



Chung Guk Jang - This is so yummmy. Just like Danielle, I didn't find it smelly at all.

Yeondae Island Project

I will not be able to update the blog for another 3 days cause I will be going to Yeondae Island at 1000hours (Korean time). Ollergi is running a project for UN (United Nation) to grow 7 types of different flowers on the island. This is one of her many projects and I am glad I could help to build this eco-system Island.

This is the design of the island.

See ya!
