Taejongdae - Busan

Another awesome place in Busan but a bit further from city center. It used to be a place for committing suicides because the place is magnificent.

Taejongdae - you are here! ^^. We took a 100-1 bus for 1,000 won to Taejongdae until Haeundae's last station and from there took a taxi.


The entrance.

We took a tram ride cause the wind made the weather colder and us trembling...agagaa..the tram costed 1,500 won and we could stop by at any of the point.

Only one of the tram with fully closed window..everyone rushed to that tram!! Cause it's warmer.

We visited our 'secret' beach where no one knows. It's CK's secret...hahaha

Women f'isherman'??

Arghh..so beautiful and calming.

The statue was built due to too many suicides from Taejongdae. They claimed it is a beautiful place to commit suicide. Hmmm..isn't it painful??

This statue makes men's penis stronger?? That's what he said hahaha...

A statue for wish of good transportation.

The gold pillar entrance...really?

If you touch his stomach, you will deliver a boy. Hence, I touched with both hands wishing for twins. Hohoho..


Wising for double luck!!

Inside the temple.

CK said that once a monk dreamt of turtle and dragon near this place and then he decided to build that temple.

Serene..


My zodiac - horse.



Yonggungsa - Yong = dragon, gung = palace , sa = temple
Direct translation by CK - Dragon palace temple..hehehe..rite?

This is an awesome temple. As many temples that I have visited all over Korea, this one is unique. It's by the beach. We took a bus from Pusan University until Haeundae Beach and later took a taxi to the temple for 4,000 won a one-way ride. There is no entrance fee to the temple.

And the weather was extremely cold. I trembled even in that 4-layered clothes..agagaga..

Making Ondol and Jjimjilbang

We helped Mr Lee to make Ondol and Jjimjimbang (or should it be Hwangtobang? hmm...). Mr Lee used yellow bean (soy bean) + sesame oil and strained the water with muslin and wiped it against the floor. His reason - the liquid will make the brown paper stronger. Our thought- that was so cool!!


The yellow bean and sesame oil mix drained in muslin.

Where Mr Lee processed the bean and the floor is covered by brown paper ONLY! Amazing!!

The secret concoction for ondol.

Later we took some for our facial and body scrub.

Mr Lee showing us how he makes meju.

Almost completed jjimjilbang.

Panya - in red jacket. He's gonna be my korean language teacher next year!

Our dinner and my face showing the taste of the crab. I didn't like it!

The crab in soy sauce soup. I wish it was fried with delicious red spicy 'sambal'

The dried blocks of meju.

Later, the whole family slept in the completed jjimjilbang. Nandida with her 'V' sign.



And that includes me ^^

Hae In, what is that sign? Hahaha..
