Previous: Day 2 (part 2) - Lunch at Tosokchon, Gyeongbokgung Tour, National Folk Museum Tour

We took Line 3 subway and drop at Gyeongbokgung station exit 2. After coming out from the subway, just walk straight all the way at exit 2 all the way until you come across the exit of the underground. You will able to see some cafe shop on the left and Gyeongbokgung on your right. Walk up the stair and keep to the left. Walk straight until you see the 1st turning to the left. From there you can see smaller gate in front. Walk towards the gate and exit. Cross the road and goes right. Walk about 150m and turn left into Jahamun-ro 5-gil road. Tosokchon is just in front across the road.

I manage to find this picture online for the shop looks.

What is Samgyetang? Samgyetang basically is a ginseng boiled chicken soup. The chicken is small chicken (probably spring chicken). They stuff the rice inside the chicken. When we first arrive, we have to line up. It is a long queue but only about 10-15 minutes waiting. Then we head into the shop and start sitting. The staff comes to us and we order 2 Samgyetang. While waiting for the food, as usual Korean restaurant comes with side dishes like kimchi. We ate some kimchi and drink some ginseng wine. The wine is high percent of alcohol, probably 40%?

The picture above I grab from internet. The bowl is big and hot. It taste great and it is something must try when in Korea. Tosokchon famous for Samgyetang and heard to be the most original for century. It cost about 15,000won. After finish the big bowl of Samgyetang, we walk towards to Gyeongbokgung. We proceed to the entrance and head for the English tour at 3:30PM. The tour finish at 4:30PM and we end at near the exit to National Folk Museum. So we proceed to the National Folk Museum of Korea. It is a nice visit at the museum and it is free.

After the visit at museum, the weather is getting colder. We proceed to Gwanghwamun Square to look around.

I browse through the internet and found a website name instructable.com. I found a lamp that pretty nice. It use Japanese shoji style to create a DIY lamp. So I try to make on my self too. I use tracing paper, bamboo satay stick, some electronic equipment. The wood I do not know for what purpose, I just take it picture for fun. Then I start with measuring the stick. I align it this way so that it will had rectangular shape and not square. Then I measure the stick for the horizontal and vertical for the inside the square. I took 70% of the original length and cut it into sizes. So it will looks like this. 4 different length of stick. Then I glue the join with glue gun. I will suggest use UHU because glue gun is far too hard to control. Then I stick the frame to the tracing paper which I had cut it into sizes. It almost done with 4 angle. It will look something like this. I perform the wiring for the electric parts. Then stick the bulb hold

OST for the movie “You are the apple of my eye” (那些年，我們一起追的女孩). Somehow the English movie title and Chinese are different. Chinese means “Those years, the girl that we chase after together” or something like that. A very nice and meaningful movie that my lovely wife intro to me. Really thanks to her that I enjoy such a nice movie. ♥Love it♥ 又回到最初的起点 you hui dao zui chu de qi dian Back to the starting point 记忆中你青涩的脸 ji yi zhong ni qing se de lian In my memory, I see your young face 我们终于来到了这一天 wo men zhong yu lai dao le zhe yi tian We have finally reached this day 桌垫下的老照片 zhuo dian xia de lao zhao pian The old photographs under the table 无数回忆连结 wu shu hui yi lian jie Linking to countless memories 今天男孩要赴女孩最后的约 jin tian nan hai yao fu nuu hai zui hou de yue Today, a boy will keep his last date with the girl ***** 又回到最初的起点 you hui dao zui chu de qi dian Back to the starting point 呆呆地站在镜子前 dai dai de zhan zai jing zi qian Standing in front of the mirror dumbly 笨拙系上红色领带的结 ben zhuo j
