There are some interesting festival in the air that can beat the cold.

Did you all know that the polar Bear Swimming Festival was 

held in Haeundae, Busan on January 7 ?

About 4,500 people attended the Polar Bear Swimming Festival, 

which marks its 31st time this year.

( Most people tend to think of these scenery when they heard about winter sea. )

Visitors to Busan will have a chance to plunge into the cold sea, 

swim and roar like a polar bear in the city's annual winter event.

It is impressive to see participants throwing themselves freely

 into the icy winter sea and shaking their arms.

I wanted to go to the sea too, seeing picture taking and waterside with friends, 

colleagues and family who join.

The Polar Bear Festival started in 1998 when the Seoul Olympics were held.

It is widely known as one of the world's top 10 winter sports by BBC World's TV station, and many foreigners also participate in this festival.

In particular, the event was attended by people who aged 3 to 84.

Try out the polar bear swimming festival that overcame the cold when you come to Korea.

Don't you want to get away from your busy life?
How about one night in a deep snowy forest temple? 

Temple in the deep forest, seems an ideal place to let go of 2017 and meet the New Year.

The late Venerable Beopjeong, a revered Buddhist monk, said,

"If you'd like to know who you are, you have to look thoroughly into your mind and at what's around you. If you carefully reflect on who you hang around with, what you like to do, how you affect your neighbors and what you value most in your life, you can get a sense of who you really are."

Unlike in the summer when birds chirp and the stream murmurs, 

winter temple stay provides complete silence and peace for people..

Stepping on snow, you will feel the cold but refreshing wind and you can hear only a small sound.

The following article is taling about winter temple stay and good to read.

New Year's templestay gives peace of mind

from. koreatimes.co.kr

According to the article, Temple Stay has various programs.

“ For those who want undisturbed rest, the relaxation templestay is recommended, but those who want to experience more of the daily life of Buddhist monks can choose experiential programs that include various activities. Participants can enjoy Seon meditation, conversation over tea with Monastic or lotus making sessions. "

If you are here to enjoy Korea, how about Temple Stay?

2018 Color by Pantone, Ultra Violet

Did everyone have a good Christmas holiday?

Pantone is a famous brand that studies color. As you well know, 

PANTONE announces color every year.

In 2018, Ultra Violet was selected as the representative color.

Panton's chief consultant said:

we are living in a time that requires inventiveness and imagination. It is this kind of creative inspiration that is indigenous to PANTONE 18-3838 Ultra Violet, a blue-based purple that takes our awareness and potential to a higher level. From exploring new technologies and the greater galaxy, to artistic expression and spiritual reflection, intuitive Ultra Violet lights the way to what is yet to come.

Purple is a provocative, deep color that many people like.

In particular, ultra violet means creativity, creativity, and edge power.

A dramatic and beautiful purple - Ultra Violet (18-3838)

But I'm desperate.

Purple is a color that is too difficult to use.

Should not you be a trend leader in 2018 ?

How to utilize ' Ultra Violet ' 120 % 

from Korean National Souvenir Center

The fashion industry is the fastest to apply trend colors.

Now, if you're not comfortable with the whole Cody part with ultra violet, 

why not make sure you're there with point colors?

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

Do you like to see your art exhibitions?
