In these days, in Korea, the scratch things are very popular for healing.

Many people do the scratch to reduce stress and have fun!

 

I also love to scratch the scenery like Sydney Opera House and Korea Gyeongbokgung Palace.

 

 

 

 

 

 

So, I'm going to make my greeting card with Pyeongchang Olympics Scratch Post Card Set!

 

The black bear character in the picture is named "Bandabi",

and you can massage your shoulder and neck with this Bandabi massager!

 

And the white tiger character wearing Hanbok on the postcard is named "Suhorang".

 

These two characters are the Olympics Mascot for 2018 Pyeongchang Olympics : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And all of these are components of this Pyeongchang scratch post card set!

 

- 4 Scratch Cards

- 2 Postcard envelopes

- 1 Scratch wood-stick

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

*The information for you!*

 

The products with this mark are called "PyeongChang Goods" in Korea, and they are very popular!

You can buy Pyeongchang goods at Korean National Souvenir Center, so please visit Insadong and get it! XD

 

 

 

 

Now, I'm gonna really show you my greeting card : )

 

Step by step, the scratch will be piled up!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I made some patterns that are look like Korean traditional pattern.

(Actually, they are just circles! haha!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And then, I started to draw some messages!

 

Guess what the sentence would be @'0'@

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And... oh, hi! This is me, scratching the post card : )

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is the front of my New year's card!

 

HAPPY 2018!

 

 

 

The front side is done, but my card is not done yet.

I wrote some messages for you on the back side!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

 

 

 

In Korea, the year 2018 is called "무술년(Musulnyeon)" in other name.

 

 

 

So the meaning of Korean messages on the right side are :

In 2018 Musulnyeon, I hope you have a lot of happiness and always keep your health!

Please visit Korean Traditional Souvenir Center...♥️

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yes, this is the real end! Thank you for seeing my greeting card!

Hello this is Korean National Center :)

I’m eagerly look forward to see the first sunrise of 2018, and I guess you are also excited about it!

So I want to share the information about Korean sunrise attraction, for your amazing 2018! :D

 


 

 

1. Seoul Sky park

 

 

 

If you don’t want to get out of Seoul, the Seoul Sky Park would be the best attraction for you to see the sunrise!

 

Seeing the sunrise at the center of the city will appeal with another charming point,

different from seeing at the sea-side.

 

Sunrise with the skyline of Seoul will show you a magnificent view : )

 

It is easy for everyone to go to the sky park sunrise attraction, because the road to the attraction has a gentle slope.

It takes about only 10 minutes, so you can go there without a big effort!

 

Oh, after the sunrise, you can take a walk through the silver grass field or the metasequoia road!

It is one of the charming point of Seoul Sky Park, so don’t forget it (๑•̀ㅅ•́)و✧

 

 

 


 

2. Gangneung Jeongdongjin

 

 

Jeongdongjin is the Korean-no.1 sunrise attraction.

Everyone knows that Jeongdongjin has a beautiful sunrise sight.

 

Rising sun above the infinite horizontal line is very amazing.

Jeongdongjin is easy to go by train, and it is not far from Seoul. So it’s very popular!

 

If you are planning for the train-trip, you can take the ‘sea train’ which is run by Korail (Korean Railroad).

It will take you Jeongdongjin very quickly and comfortably.

 

(You can also go to Donghae, Samchuck, and so on if you get the sea train!)

 

(♡' v '♡)

This is the link for seatrain!

http://www.seatrain.co.kr/

 


 

 

3. Busan Haeundae

 

 

Busan Haeundae beach is one of the attractions that are good for both of summer and winter.

 

One of the Haeundae’s best charm is sunrise sight.

Haeundae is at the end of the East see of Korea, so it has a beautiful sunrise view.

 

You can get to the Busan from Seoul with train, and after you arrive at Busan,

you can get to the beach if you walk along the path from the Haeundae train station for minutes.

 

Taking a train is better than drive your own car because there’s so many people for seeing the sunrise sight.

 

It has a great restaurants and café with nice mood,

because Haeundae is one of the most popular attractions in Korea.

You can have a great meal after seeing the sunrise!

 

~(˘▾˘~) (~˘▾˘)~

 


 

 

4. Yeosu Hyangilam

 

When people think about the sunrise, many people search only East sea side.

But there’s also a great attractions for sunrise view at the South sea side : Yeosu Hyangilam! ٩( ᐛ )و

 

The meaning of the name, Hyangilam, is “A temple seeing the sun”.

As you can analogize with its name, it is one of the best sunrise attractions.

It has a beautiful sunrise sight.

 

Thanks to the geographical characteristic that is surrounded by sea,

you can see both of sunset and sunrise at Hyangilam.

 

You can enjoy not only sunrise but also Odongdo Island and Suncheon Bay Eco Park,

so Yeosu will be the best destination for you to visit if you are planning the train-trip.

 


 

 

5. Seoul Achasan Mountain

 

 

 

In Seoul, there are more sunrise-attractions apart from Sky Park.

One of those is Achasan Mountain, which is very popular for its superb natural scenery!

 

Achasan Mountain is always beautiful, but it’s amazing especially when the sun rises.

The Han River, buildings of Seoul, and a superb natural landscape of Achasan Mountain make

the picturesque scenery when the sun rises and goes down.  ⁺◟(◍'◡'◍)◞⁺

 

It takes 30 minutes to 1 hour from the entrance to the top,

so you have to climb a mountain slope with patience.

 

But if you have some trouble with your joints, you have to consider to climb the Achasan

because there’s so many stairs in Achasan Mountain.

 

 


 

 

6. Dangjin Waemok village

 

 

Can you believe that you can see the sunrise at the west sea side, not the sunset?

Amazingly, you can see the sunrise at Dangjin Waemok village!

 

The meaning of “waemok” is the neck of heron, and Waemok village looks like it.

Waemok village is surrounded by the sea, like a cape jutting out into the sea.

 

Because of that, Waemok village is already popular with sunrise and sunset.

If you want to see the wider view of sunrise, you can also climb Seokmun Mountain, nearby the beach.

 

You can enjoy the sunrise festival with tteokguk, the Korean traditional sliced rice cake soup,

if you visit Dangjin Waemok village on 31st December to 1st January.

 

But there’s one caution.

If you want to see the sunrise above the Chotdaebawi Rock, like the picture,

you have to visit here on November or Feburary. (๑•̀ㅅ•́)و✧

 

 


 

 

Up to here, we talked about the Korean sunrise attractions!

There’s so many attractions to see the amazing sunrise in Korea, right? :D

 

Please enjoy the first sunrise or 2018 with your precious people in Korea, and make 2018 yours! 

 

 

(' v ')


Happy new year! : )

So, I've prepared, the perfect guide to a warm Christmas! Let me introduce many ways to spend Christmas with us. Choose the type that works best for you and plan for a fun Christmas! Then, here we go!




1. Have a nice year-end party with your Christmas party, family or friends!


What if Christmas being alone was lonely? Why don't you have a home party with your family or friends? It would be a more splendid and joyful Christmas if there were delicious food and many people.



It would be nice to have a poker card ready and play different games.


Here are 54 cards designed with Korean folk tales! I think it's a good buy.




It would be good as Korean souvenir, too.




2. Spend Christmas with Your Lovers


If you have a girlfriend or boyfriend, are you concerned about which dating course to take?


Here's my recommendation.

First, let's take a look at the Insa-dong Gallery and share our traditional tea.
Next time, why don't you drop by the famous Korean tourist shop and give them a nice gift and finally walk along the stream?




From the products of the Chang-dong Olympics to the business cards and money clips suitable as Christmas gifts,
We have premium products at prices ranging from practical and stylish traditional accessories to jewelry.




3. Watching a movie alone at home


Do you think it would be a good idea to watch a movie at home on Christmas? Yeah, I agree. that's not a bad choice.




I think you need a cushion to let you watch the movie in a more comfortable position. Here is Pyeongchang Olympic souvenir cushion. Don't you want to?




I hope that everyone has a happy Christmas no matter how you spend it.

Have a Merry Christmas! :D

At the end of the year, the calendar is filled with various party schedules!

So, we prepared 3 games to make the party more fun lol






1. Yut Game


Did you play game of yut with friends at the end of the year?

game of yut is a Korean traditional play requiring good luck and strategy.




The yut sticks are similar to the dice. Results of six different outcomes are raised when you throw yut sticks. I think the yut game is well balanced in various ways. even more, everyone can easily enjoy playing!




Recently ive found some prmotional product collaborating with the most popular characters, 'We bare, bears' ! A well made game will be fun beyond the ages!





2. Paper Slap match

If you want to play a simple and active game, why don't you do slap match!




Veryt simple rules. With folded paper, Paper smashes the opponent's paper. Someone who has flipped over is beaten. and here's how to fold it.




I remember that i made it using all kinds of paper.





3. a marbles tournament (called 'Gong-Ghi)


One of the kroean traditional games, a marbles tournament !

it is the best game to enjoy together with cheap item!




Here's the instruction clip.

Hello~ this is Korea National Souvenir Center representing Korean traditional culture!


Today, I will introduce 'Mother of Pearl' that is a traditional Korean craft culture.

It is called Jagae in Korea





In the traditional Korean handicraft culture, Jagae means a piece of a golden shell. That’s because Jagae’s English name is ‘Mother of Pearl.’


Korean people could find these folding screens or furniture decorated with jagae in their grandmother's house. (I guess it's hard to find in the countryside these days)


Maybe you might think of this furnitures not useful and too expensive. but don't be serious because it's just a traditional craft. Xd





You can find many beautiful and practical products in Korea National Souvenir Center. Would you like to take a look around?


It's a brooch made of mother-of-pearl! wow so shiny~!!




Jagae can be found in many Korean traditional chests, it is a dresser decorated with Jagae! it would be good for the interior decoration props.




The best-selling product, a nail-trimmer kit. If you look at this product closely, the sparkling Songkhak's mother-of-pearl looks gorgeous :D



And here's my last selection. Mini size drawer with mother-of-pearl design. It gives off a seductive charm.







Jagae is so charming and practical product! Not stuffy!

Hope this posting is helpful to you. Plz push ‘like’! on this post. thank you XD

"A king who rules over the people should pull out all the heart."



It is a famous saying of King Sejong the King, whom Koreans love and respect most.

King Sejong is the king who is said to be the greatest king of Korea and has made great achievements in many fields such as politics, military, culture, science and art.

 



(Hunminjeongeum)


 

The greatest achievement is the creation of Hangul!

King Sejong made a phonetic symbol through inventing Hangul for people's rich use of language.

 

Koreans are exploring the achievements of King Sejong through various contents such as dramas, movies, and comics, as well as biography.

 





(From the left, Tree with 1446, deep root, Shinkijeon related to King Sejong's achievements)



Song Jung-ki plays young sejong in the drama 'Tree with deep root', the 'Shinkijeon' is about the story of the weapon called Shinkijeon, and the musical '1446' containing the biography of King Sejong!


We are constantly meeting King Sejong with such various contents.

Another way to meet King Sejong in 2017, The statue of Sejong in Gwanghwamun!





(Statue of Sejong in Gwanghwamun, Seoul)



Another way to meet King Sejong in 2017! It is a statue of King Sejong in Gwanghwamun.


If you go to Gwanghwamun Square, which is the center of Seoul, you can see the statue of Sejong that always keeps the spot.


After meeting the statue of King Sejong, find a Korea national souvenir center located 10 minutes walk from Gwanghwamun Square. In a straight line from where King Sejong statute is located.


You can find a variety of products including handkerchiefs, key chains and Korean silk neckties with Hunminjeongeum!




(A Hunminjeongeum handkerchief with beautiful printing detail)


From the statue of King Sejong to the traditional souvenirs decorated in Korean!   

How about going out to Gwanghwamun-Insadong?

“I wish had a lot of money doing nothing”


Have you ever thought about it?

There is a bowl that keeps growing things when you put anything!


It is a folktale called ‘widow’s cruse’ which descends for several hundred years.

(And i wonder what it looks like)


A poor bachelor who lived at the beach went down to the village to sell the tree and then find a live snapper sold by a merchant. When he saw the snapper, panting its breath, the bachelor used his money to release the snapper on the beach. One day a beautiful woman who came to the bachelor said that she was a snapper. She recommended him to go to the dragon king and bring a bowl look like soybean.


That’s the widow’s cruse, a mysterious bowl that keeps all kinds of things and does not diminished!

You can find it in Korea souvenir center!


Widow’s cruse in the Korea souvenir center at insa dong >


It looks like soybean, as the snapper expresses. Widow’s cruse does not have a sleek and polished design, but it has lumpy and rustic style!


The reason why the bachelor in the folktale is given widow’s cruse is because he does good work of releasing the snapper.


If you have widow’s cruse, What do you want to put in?


 

Come to the Korea souvenir center! 

Of course, if you put something in the widows’ cruse, it is mine XD ~
