Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center !



I'm excited about spring. I feel like leaving somewhere.



Many spring flowers encourage me to go out in the spring,

but I think the best one is cherry blossom trees that I will introduce you today.


We have to plan ahead because it can be difficult if we don't hurry and prepare for the trip.

Let's find out when the cherry blossom trees bloom in 2018
and where to enjoy the cherry blossom festival.



First, it is the time of 2018 cherry blossom season.




Where can we see these pretty cherry blossoms?




1. Yeongdeungpo Spring Flower Festival 2018


Maybe it is the most famous cherry blossom festival in Seoul.


Yeouido Spring Flower Festival, which is loved by many people every year,
is now becoming an international cultural festival.




The Yeongdeungpongpo-do Spring Flower Spring Festival is said to
host a variety of performances, exhibitions, promotions and experience-including singing contest,
cute character parade, and flower macha operation.




2. Jinhae Gunhangje System 2018


Every year from late March to early April, tourists visit the Jinhae Gunhangje Festival
to enjoy the beauty of cherry blossoms.

At this time, the whole city of Jinhae is known to be covered with cherry blossom trees.



Jinhaeman has legs in several places,
one of which is named Romance Bridges.

The 1.5-kilometer-long cherry blossom path
from the front of Jinhae Girls ' Middle School
to the northern parking lot became even more popular
when CNN chose one of the 50 places to visit in Korea.



3. Bulguksa Cherry Blossom Festival 2018



Everyone has various cherry blossom festival sites except Yeouido and Jinhae, which are famous.
Among cherry blossom festivals, it is the most popular festival in Gyeongju.


It is said that the cherry blossoms of Gyeongju are in full bloom and
then continue on to the cherry blossom trees of Bulguksa via Bomunho.



Why don't you rent a bike near the Kyungjoo Bus Terminal and enjoy the cherry blossoms?
It costs 7,000 won a day, and 10,000 won for good specifications.





As a recommendation
From downtown Gyeongju to the tomb of General Kim Yun-shin along Seocheon Bridge.
It is also a good idea to look around Daereungwon and Wolseong.



Finally, Bomun, too.
It is said that the atmosphere is great because the Bomun Lake,
one of the best tourist attractions in Gyeongju, is covered with cherry blossoms.

And since sophisticated accommodation is in the area, would you kill two birds with one stone?

Why don't you feel relaxed by the cherry blossoms of Bomun?


4. Hwagae Cherry Blossom Festival 2018

After the last cold spell, the Hwagae tree is said to be in full bloom in April.
Hwagae Road is known for its cherry blossoms.

It is also called " Honeul-gil, " as it is said that young men and women
who love each other have to hold their hands tightly together for a year.


Many young men and women take hold of their hands and walk this romantic path.

You can also taste the aromatic spring herbs of Jiri Mountain that the people of
Hwagae make themselves.

They say you can also taste some local food such as raw fish, fish soup.





We have learned about the various cherry blossom festivals together.
I'm already anxious to leave.

Where are the famous cherry blossom festival? I wonder ~

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center!


As the weather warms up these days, I want to leave somewhere.
Once you have booked your ticket and booked the hotel, your mind is already on the road.


But the most important thing about travel is
" Preparing travel necessities "





Let's find out what is required for overseas travel!




Premium Hanbok carrier Tag


You can't leave your carrier on the road.
Luggage is often changed because of similar carriers these days.

You can find out your carrier by using the hanbok carrier tag!


Various kinds of carrier tags are prepared for you!

I have chosen Seonbi - Tag.
Isn't it so cool?

Be sure to pick up your own hanbok carrier Tag.





Handkerchief designed by Humin Jeongeum.


This handkerchief is designed by the Korean alphabet, Hunmin Jeongeum.


Color is also available in 4 different kinds, but I recommend red color.
(Just because red is my favorite color)

Be sure to take a Hunminjeongeum handkerchief with you on your trip.






Premium Mother-of-Pearl Pen



Don't you think the tourist sites have a lot of new ideas and phrases to write down?
So I prepared. It's premium mother of pearl pen.



As soon as I saw it, I liked it so much that I bought it.

Isn't it necessary to travel?






CalliM Postcard



How about a Calli-M postcard gift to your friends after you visit Korea?
Talk about you trip while giving gifts of Calli-M postcards with Korean on them.




There are many different kinds, so it would be nice if you give them gifts.
I packed everything from A to N.

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center in Insa-dong, Seoul.


Insadong has many Korean traditional teahouses

with a peaceful atmosphere.


Trusted traditional tea houses recommended by National Souvenir Center employees!


I prepared Jidaebang(지대방) review today :-)

 

 


 

 

The store was opened in 1982 and

is said to be the oldest traditional tea house in Insa-dong which has remained open so far.


Trust is more blustering, isn't it?


Jidaebang is located in the middle of Insa-dong, just five minutes away from our store !

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

If you walk up the stairs to the second floor,

a door that looks like a traditional Korean house gate is welcoming you !

 

 

 

 

 

 

Each artifact, every wall has a sense of time and atmosphere.


 

 

 

 

 

 

The menu is really unique in this store.

 

They put a menu in a bamboo barrel like this.

It was the most distinctive menu I've ever seen.

 

 

 

" We don't carry instant labor here,

but we collect or buy materials from

mountains and fields around the country

and make it by hand. "

 

 

 

It was written on the menu, but

so after reading this, I felt a lot of excitement!

 

It's very reliable!

 

 

 

 

We ordered ice omija tea and ripe persimmon tea !

 

 

Omija tea is brewed with Omija's fruit,

which has five different taste

 

 

 

It is known to be effective when you catch a cold.

 

 

 

Isn't the color really pretty?


Maybe it's because they don't use instant,

 and they're using the original color of the material.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 Both of the dishes were delicious because they were moderately sweet.

 

 

 

 

 


 

I will visit again to eat flower tea and roast rice cake that I have not eaten yet.



When you visit Insa-dong,

How about to stop by the Jidaebang and Korea National Souvenir Center XD

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center!




When you are in the process of doing working life,

you are constantly trading things. What do you think it is?



Yes, it is your business card!



But do you know that there is etiquette in exchanging business cards?

Today, we will learn some tips and manners to exchange business cards.



Check business card manners




One, keep the business card in the wallet and take it out when use it.


 



At work, it would be convenient to store them in a business card case.

 

 

 

 

 

TIP

Do not obscure the information in readable direction!




Two, when you exchange business cards,

get up from your seat and exchange cards with your two hands!



If you sitting down with your business card and handing it over with one hand,
you're the worst!


The rule is to get up and exchange business cards.




TIP

When you exchange business cards at same time,
you exchange them with your right hand and get them with your left hand.




Three, The business cards are exchanged according to position



1) The person with the lower position gives it to the superior first.

2) If you visit another company, the person you visit give first

3) If another member of a different position is accompanied,

it is given to the other team from the higher position.





Four, don't put your business cards in your pockets or wallets immediately.




When you receive a person's business card,

be sure to ask them one or two questions about it in a formal way.



Five, Put a brief memo on the cover sheet?



Do not write on the card in front of the other party!

But, it would be hard to remember if you just put them
in the same place after you receive them, right?

Keep a cover book and write down simple features on a memo!





You have noticed that there is also good manners in exchanging business cards.

Maybe it would be a good opportunity to impress the first impression of " I "
by exchanging business cards with the other person.


I hope all of you remember this business card etiquette
and make yourself more reliable and attractive!

Hello, this is Korea National Souvenir Center!



When my sister got married, she moved into a new house.
Since she moved into a new house, I should prepare a house gift !


So I decided to give that is sold only in Korea National Souvenir Center!



And the hard work to search for gift, I found 3 of those.





First, dancheong(traditional multicolored paintwork on wooden) wild goose



It is painted with the characteristic colors dancheong

(traditional multicolored paintwork on wooden).


Blue, red, yellow, black, and white are basic in dancheong.

This makes them feel more colorful and classical.



The goose is traditionally a symbol of conjugal harmony.
It contains a message wishing for the couple to live a long life with unwavering love.






Therefore, it is also good as a wedding present or a gift to the parents for their wedding anniversary.
Since ancient times in Korea, it has been said that

the groom brought a pair of wild geese to the wedding ceremony.


It is because it means prosperity and love.




Second, SSang-Hap, used like jewel box


Plum blossoms that bloom first in spite of the cold weather in spring,
orchids that spread the delicate fragrance far away,
chrysanthemum that survive the first cold
and bamboo that keeps the green leaves in the cold winter.

so it is probably the most famous gift I think!


When you open the colored SSang-Hap,

you will see four small drawers, two on each side!


Isn't the butterfly drawn on the handle so cute ?



The plum, orchid, chrysanthemum, and bamboo are

all painted in different colors, so they are look good.





Third, Traditioanl Korean Taeguek Cutlery






Korea has a culture of putting stew and soup alwayts on the table

So spoons and chopsticks are important  in the kitchen.

⌯ ' ▾ ' ⌯



This product is a set of spoons that use taegeuk mark, the symbol of Korea.




The taegeuk mark is so clearly engraved on it! Can you see it?



The cast spoon set are fitted with a tassel-plated plate
that combines luxury with hygiene, heaviness, and durability.

(Perfect ...!)





Even the wrappers look like this.

I'm sure it would be a great gift. XD



It is good as a housewarming gift, but it would be great as a wedding gift,
Dancheong wild goose, Ssang-hap, and Spoon set


Did you enjoy it?

Hi, it's Korea National Souvenir Center!

We are back at the review of  snack bar in Iksun-dong.

 

 




It was pretty cold day, but many people were waiting in line.
So I lined up to try it too.

 

 

 

 

 

The store's name is Iksun-dong Rice Market(익선동 쌀상회)

 



The feeling of the signboard and the interior element are

reminiscent of streets in Seoul in the 1960s and 70s

 

 

 

 


 

The Iksun-dong rice market is selling long hodduk.
(Hodduk means rice pancake)

 




 

I chose regular honey hodduk.
A regular honey hodduk costs 1,500 won each.

 


It is less greasy than regular hodduk,
so it is a very delicious.




 

 

 

If you're visiting Iksun-dong,

try delicious long hodduk snacks!


 

 



At the Iksun-dong Rice Market, it only takes seven minutes
to walk to Korea National Souvenir Center in Korea!


 

 


When you visit Seoul, why don't you visit the
hot spot in Seoul and come to Insadong to enjoy the Korea National Souvenir Center?
