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.

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?

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

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!

Hello, This is Korea National Souvenir Center XD

Iksun-dong is also very close to Insadong, where our center is located!

It is the hottest place in Seoul these days.

Exit 4 of Jongno 3ga Station and cross the street to the left to meet Iksun-dong.

Iksun-dong is a unique place that combines

the atmosphere of old hanok with the feel of the newest stores.

It took me a long time to look around the alley

because of all the photo spots I wanted to see.

I decided to go to Store Without Signboard(간판없는 가게) 

which is HOT restaurant in Iksun-dong.

If you go in and you see this!
It's so beautiful that you can take pictures anywhere.

Three basic things
Tomato mixed with basil is soooo delicious

A spinach pizza.

Under the snowy cheese,
soft-boiled egg, fresh spinach, and tomato sauce are mixed with dough.

It is one of the most popular menu in this restaurant.

The Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics will open tomorrow, May 9!
Today, I will prepare to cheer up for the opening. + _ +!

While I was working hard, my boss gave me BandabI Pixel Block.

[QUEST]  Assemble the pixel block.
 [Accept] [reject]

[QUEST]  Assemble the BandabI pixel block.

[Accept x 100]

Of course, YES!

If it is a block of BandabI  pixels, I would very much like to assemble.

BandabI is mascot of Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics
It is a combination of Banda, which means " half moon, " and Bi which means "commemorate".

" Strong will, strong courage, and a leader in equality and harmony "

Let's start the quest !!

First, I got a BandabI pixel.

It's so cute.

These are components, pixel blocks and design instruction.

This is final appearance of pixel block.

First, let's make a bandabi’s cute feet.

And then make BandabI’s belly.

You'll also have to make a half-moon mark, the symbol of Bandabi!!

Lastly, make your Bandabi’s face and it will be complete!

You thought it was over here, right~?

But still have to make a bandabI 's hat.

Red, blue, and green colors.
If you even made a hat!  It's totally done!!



It took me less than two hours.

Really pretty and cute!

March 9 is the first day of the Pyeongchang Winter Paralympics.

Hello, We are Korea Souvenir Center.

Isn't everyone having a busy day with the start of March?

 As you repeat your busy life, you suddenly feel like you want to leave suddenly.

So today I prepared best night train destination,

when I suddenly wanted to leave!

I think that night trip is  a good idea to have a good trip on the weekend.

Then let's find out where is a good place to go by night train.

1. East Sea

When you ride on a night train in Seoul, you will arrive in 'East sea' at 4 a.m.

Arrived to 'East sea', you have to do is watching the sun rise.

(It would be stupid ... When you miss the sun rise).

Mukho Lighthouse's sunrise is said to be a magnificent spectacle.

If you step down from the lighthouse and go below the swaying bridge, you can see the sea more closely!

If you saw the sunrise, how about Non-gol Temple with a cute mural on it?

You should take a picture in Nongoldae-road.

In particular, Non-goldam-road is known to have three different courses,
so it would be a good idea to choose your own course.

2. Suncheon

If you take the last train at Yeongdeungpo Station, you will arrive at Suncheon at 3:30 a.m.

If you want to see the sunrise in a different way, why don't you visit Nagan Fortress?

After watching the sunrise, go to Suncheonman Bay!

Suncheonman Bay is MUST VISIT spot in Suncheon.

It is one of Suncheon's best place for its harmony with reed beds and mudflats.

3. Busan

If you travel by night, you can't miss Busan.

If you start by night train at Yeongdeungpo Station, you will arrive in Busan in 5 hours.

If you want to see the sunrise from Busan, how about Taejongdae with its ocean, cliffs and dense forest?

Haedong Yonggungsa Temple, which is directly adjacent to the sea,
is one of the most famous tourist attractions in Busan.

In addition, various foods are waiting for you.

4. The last destination is Miryang.

                                    Miryang, which takes about 4 hours and a half by night train from Seoul.     

Miryang's Youngnamaru is considered one of the
                                         must-see attractions for the country.                                     

The colorful lights on the pavilion and the night view of Milyang Bridge make your night beautiful.

Milyang Theater Village is also a popular tourist spot. in Miryang.

Isn't it amazing how many domestic travel spots there are for you to go by night train?

Already, I have booked a night train to Suncheon.

Why don't you leave your tired life, too?

Let's all leave to find freedom!

Let's book tickets together!

Hello, We are Korea National Souvenir Center.

It sure is warm these days, isn't it?

  Today is 'Gyeongchip', One of the seasonal customs of Korea.

'Gyeongchip' is the day on which insects appear from their holes in the earth.

  The green buds come out on the trees, I think the spring is about to begin.

Today, I would like to introduce you to the origin of 'Gyeongchip'

and the green items that match frogs.

The Meaning and Origin of 'Gyeongchip'

'Gyeongchip' is the day when the frog awakes from hibernation.

Around Gyeongchip, in Korea, when the continental high pressure falls,
migratory high and low pressure drops regularly pass through the nation,
repeating cold weather and mild weather, and the temperature rises daily until the end of spring.

Even the buds and frogs that grow new leaves in the spring
seem to be very green in the spring.

So I prepared,

Green color product for preparing Gyeongchip Go, go, go!

1. Folk prints Notebook

In the spring, everyone would buy pretty notebooks. 

' Irwol Obongdo ' is a folk notebook you can see at Korea National Souvenir Center.

I think this notebook attracts people's attention
because it has animals, flowers, and scenery in cover prints.

Notebook composed of 'Hwajodo', 'Hojakdo' and ' Irwol Obongdo 'are suitable for

writing down simple ideas and diaries!

2. Ramie Patchwork Table Mat

I think the ramie patchwork table mats are perfect for spring.

They are made of ramie fabric,
so it is good to use it from spring to autumn.

The color scheme is also gorgeous, so I think it is perfect for spring !!

Frog will running around this mats, isn't it? ~ (~ ˘ ▾ ˘) ~

They're really pretty if you put them under tables, potted plants, or even a cup of tea.

3. Pop-up card

Among the various products I will introduce, this product was my favorite one.

It is a pop-up card for 6 traditional Korean buildings.

Among these, the pop-up card of 'Geunjeongjeon' is really green, right?

When you open the card, each of the buildings appears in 3D.

This card is good for personal collection, but it is also a good gift.

As the weather is getting warmer,
why don't you visit the buildings shown on the pop-up card when you visit Korea?

4. Doorbell

With doorbell, you can feel the spring breeze with the clear bell!

This product is also a good opening gift.

In particular, it has a wide range of choices as it is equipped with a variety of designs!

Because it is spring, green house, green tree, and green fence design are most popular.

As I imagine the clear bell ring as the door opens, and the spring breeze is blowing,
I would like to attach it to the door as soon as possible.

I can't wait for spring to come.

What do you want to do first when spring comes?

Thank you.
