Hello, this is the Korea National Souvenir Center.

Do you know what April 1 is?



Yes! It is April Fool's Day.


Today, with the history of April Fool's Day,
we'll learn about the April Fool's Day joke that you can use at work!


Are you ready?







1. What is April fool's day?


April Fools' Day (sometimes called All Fools' Day) is an annual celebration in some European
and Western
ountries commemorated on April 1 by playing practical jokes.

The jokes and their victims are called April fools. People playing April Fool jokes often expose their prank by shouting "April fool" at the unfortunate victim

(from. Wiki)



2. Origin of April fool's day!



In the Middle Ages, New Year's Day was celebrated on March 25 in most European towns.
In some areas of France, New Year's was a week-long holiday ending on April 1.
Some writers suggest that April Fools' originated because those who celebrated on January 1 made fun of those who celebrated on other dates.

The use of January 1 as New Year's Day was common in France by the mid-16th century and this date was adopted officially in 1564 by the Edict of Roussillon.


In the Netherlands, the origin of April Fools' Day is often attributed to the Dutch victory at Brielle in 1572, where the Spanish Duke Álvarez de Toledo was defeated.

"Op 1 april verloor Alva zijn bril." is a Dutch proverb, which can be translated to: "On the first of April, Alva lost his glasses."

In this case, the glasses ("bril" in Dutch) serve as a metaphor for Brielle. This theory, however, provides no explanation for the international celebration of April Fools' Day.




3. April Fools ' Day joke



1. Pastum toilet paper

First, the April Fools ' Day joke recommendation is toilet paper crap.

Preparation : Water and toilet paper

1) Put a tissue seam in water.
2) Hand makes main body water poop.

4) He pretends not to know.



2. Paper cockroach

Second, the April Fools ' Day joke recommendation is a paper cockroach.

Preparation : Paper, Pen and Scissors


1) Draw cockroach on paper.
2) Cut it according to the shape (snip-slops).
3) Color it with a pen.
4) Throw it while you are away.



3. Mint taste Oreo cookies

The last prank is the Oreo cookie.

Preparation:Oreo Cougie, Toothpaste

1) Remove the Oreo cookie fillings.
2) Squeeze the toothpaste instead of cream.
3) Natural to the other person
" Would you like to eat Oreo? "




I'm very curious to know what kind of a joke you've prepared.

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center :-)



The weather is so nice

that I feel like going out to play these days.

(I want to go outside T_T)




So today,

when the weather is good

I've prepared a walking tour course in Seoul where you can enjoy walking.




Seoul is a particularly good city to take a walk in

as it is a harmonious combination of traditional culture and modern features,

and each neighborhood has a variety of characteristics!




Seoul is becoming more and more attractive as we look around. >_<

Let's take a look at the sights of Seoul with Korea National Souvenir Center!








1. Samcheong-dong




Gyeongbokgung Palace, National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Changdeok Palace, Changgyeong Palace, Jongmyo Shrine and so on.

There are so many things to see.



(출처: 주니짱님 블로그, https://blog.naver.com/rose0626)



The road from Anguk Station to the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art(MMCA)

is also called  Gamgodang-gil .




Gamgodang-gil is a place filled with Korean landscapes.

It even became a popular filming location for the drama "또오해영"!!



It is composed of stone-wall streets,

so it is very beautiful.







As you walk down the street, you will come to this beautiful flower house!!

I think it's a great place to have a good mood since there is often busking. ♪(´ε` )







Gyongbokgung Palace and MMCA are located 10 minutes away on foot,

so you can enjoy a trip to Seoul without a moment of boredom.




Gyongbokgung Palace is free if you put on Hanbok

so can play really well!









2. Iteawon




Iteawon, the city of youth!!!!

Did you know that there is a war memorial in this city

that looks like darkness will never die at night?









You'll be at the War Memorial in 10 minutes on foot from Exit 11 of the Samgakji Station.

In honor of the patriots' dedication to the country and learning about the importance of peace

through the honnors of the war, 

it has served as a seal of national defense security education.




 





There are prominent figures of the UN soldiers who died during the Korean War and the soldiers.



It would be a good trip to visit the exhibits in honor of the war dead.

Besides, it's free!!!









3. Hyehwa-dong





(출처: 한국관광공사)




Hyehwa is a cultural art town.

There are so many small theaters that do a variety of plays.




After dinner,

'I want some fresh air!'







Naksan Park.


It's a very popular night park.

You can enjoy the night view of Seoul's open streets.






Mosquitoes in the summer and cold in the winter

It is not easy to enjoy the night view.

It would be  a perfect way to travel  in this pleasant spring weather!!









4. Gyeonguiline





If you want to enjoy phytoncide in the middle of Seoul~?





In 2005, the Gyeonguiline was reborn 

after only the railroad was remained empty 

due to the project of underground railway construction.



Walk on the old unremoved trail and chat with your friends!!

In Yeonnam-dong, there is also brook,

so it is very cool at night.


Don't forger that flea market runs on weekends~!

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center !




I think we're headed for spring.

but, we can't ignore the end of winter.
When the seasons change, it would be good to choose items

that are warm and remind you of spring.




Top 4 Recommended Fashion Item during the change of seasons.
Let's find out together.





1. Minhwa Scarf



This scarf is a mandatory item during the change of seasons.
I would like to introduce you to a folk scarf which I love these days.
It can be said to be a very good item to give points to simple Cody. 



It comes in four colors.
You can choose according to your preference.
I think it's very pretty because it has flowers blooming in the spring

and scenery with buds appearing on it.


2. Hanbok handkerchief




Spring is great, but I think it's the perfect time to catch a cold.
Why don't you protect yourself with a hanbok handkerchief?
It's big enough to be cute in a hood and warm your neck.




Because it can be used from the desperate season to the winter,

it is not only practical but also sensitive illustration design enters into Hanbok handkerchief.
How about buying one?



3. CalliM Bag



The final practical item is the CalliM Bag.
It has beautiful flowers and a colorful design that is perfect for spring.
I guess you'll wear a cardigan or a trench coat a lot when it's time to change.
You look good in any suit. 


Because it is big enough, you can put all your belongings in there without worrying about it.
It feels like echo back in the spring.


4. Mini Crossback



Mini-crossback, made of safe and healthy natural color.
There are 10 colors in a mini-cross bag, plain and plaid! 


There is a small shell hanging at the entrance, so you don't have to worry about losing things.
It also has a zip lock on the back so you can store more stuff !!





I'm desperate to wait for spring, but I could catch a cold if I put on a little bit.


Did you like it?
Spring comes as soon as possible and I would like to talk about it with you.

Last time, We learned about the business card schedule

that we need during our career.



You know, the day like that …


1. I really want to make monthly paycheck easy.
2. I hate to go to work.
3.I really don't want to work today.
(Am I the only one who does this every day? )





So I prepared.
Don't let anyone give me anything new at work, be busy!






1. Keep pretending to write in a notebook


 

 


 

Take notes that start at the same time as your boss goes to work.
The boss will know I'm working hard on my meeting.


 

 



The reality is that I am thinking about what to eat for lunch today.


Be careful at this time.
My face seems to be more serious than anyone else

 



2. To pretend to be serious when you draw a highlighter on A4 paper


 



As soon as I have a hunch that My boss will be walking past me all of a sudden,
I grab my highlighter and start to underline.



The important thing is to underline with a serious look on your face!




3. Take Anything with You

 


I have a hunch that my boss will order me to do something.
And when things just got up and up and down with anything that lies on the desk and move from side to side walk down the company, please.




4. Make a impression and pretend you're answering an important phone call



It is very difficult to answer an important phone call while I am making an impression.
What if you're holding a dial and you get a call?

 

Suddenly you will experience a solemn atmosphere at work.


That's why it's a good idea to have your phone disconnected.
Also, practice looking in the mirror before you go work.

 


5. It makes me get off work.



Say! Good bye~
Today, I had a comfortable day.


We've learned how to pretend to be busy at work.
If there's any know-how you only know,
Share it as a secret I'm curious about your know-how !!

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center !


The professional baseball season begins soon.
Do you like baseball?




I'm a big fan of baseball, so I'm really looking forward to

the opening of the professional baseball season.


Professional baseball is one of the most popular sports in Korea.



The opening game of the regular league will be held on March 24.




Which team do you support?





1. Professional Baseball schedule


Starting on March 24, this year's regular league runs through September 30 and
will play 144 games per team.

Especially, this year's opening is the quickest ever.

It is because of the Asian Games.

It is said that the opening day has been moved up
because the players are participating in the Asian Games.

Please note that due to this, the regular league schedule
will be paused from August 16 to September 3.







2. Book a 2018 Professional Baseball Ticket




Most professional baseball tickets are opened 10 days before the game.

Every team can book a different route.


Doosan Bears, LG Twins, and Nexen Heroes were on the Interpark Ticketpage website.


The SK Wyverns, the NC Dinos, the Kia Tigers,

the Hanwha Eagles, and the KT Wiz are on the ticket link website.


You can book Lotte Giants on the team's website.


If there are seats left in each stadium, you can also buy them at the site

(Note that there is no game on Mondays ~!)







3. Preparation for the competition



" A blanket or jacket "


Baseball generally begins at 2 p.m. on weekends and at 6:30 p.m. on weekdays.
Although it is getting warmer, people can catch a cold easily

because the temperature range is still big.


All but the Gocheok Skidome Baseball Stadium in Seoul is an outdoor stadium,

so it's a good idea to take warm stuff with you to protect your body until it gets warm.





" Team uniforms and cheering tools "



Among baseball cultures, the one thing that can not be missed is cheering!


You can probably see a lot of people in the subway or bus

wearing their teams ' uniforms on a baseball game.


Wouldn't it be more fun to get the uniforms and cheering tools of the team?






"Food"


Did you know that chicken and beer eaten at the stadium are the most delicious in the world?

Now, the food at the baseball stadium is so diverse that
it has famous foods to eat at each stadium.

For your information, Samgyeopsal lunch at Jamsil Baseball Stadium is very delicious.
As for alcohol, each stadium has its own limits, check in advance before you go!





This year, why don't you visit the stadium with someone

who is not good at baseball or even good at it?
