Hello. We are Korea National Souvenir Center. 


Free transportation is being used in Seoul. Because fine dust concentration is
forecast to be ' poor ' 
Public transportation is free until Wednesday, following yesterday's Tuesday.





The Seoul Metropolitan Government said that they will efforts to reduce ultra-fine dust.

Commuters during the morning (6 a.m. to 9 a.m.) and evening (6 p.m. to 9 p.m.) hours
won't be charged for using buses or trains. 





Unfortunately, as the province of Kyung-gi and Incheon do not participate,
people who use public transportation in Gyeonggi-do and Incheon must pay
the public transportation fees.




Here a article that will be help you to understand this situation.


"We cannot just blame China for ultra-fine dust. We should do something to solve the issue. It is better to overdo than do nothing," Deputy Mayor Yun Jun-byeong said.

The city spent about 4.8 billion won ($4.5 million) for Monday's waiver of public transport fees. The traffic volume on roads that day was reduced by 1.8 percent.


(from.http://www.koreatimes.co.kr)


Fine dust is a compound that is caused by the release of most of the car's exhaust fumes. Exposure to particulate matter can cause respiratory and cardiovascular diseases, and increase the mortality.



Prevention includes staying out, not exercising on the road, wearing a mask,
and washing your nose and hands after going out.


※  Even though public transportation is free, they say that you must take 


a transportation card or credit card. 



Thank you.

When in PyeongChang,
pair wine with Gangwon food

(from. koreatimes.co.kr)

 

Pyeongchang 2018 Winter Olympics is coming up. Many people from all over the world are planning to gather in Gangwon-do.

 

It will be a great opportunity for foreigners and locals alike to sample the culinary delights the region has to offer,
in addition to exploring the natural surroundings. 

 

When in Gangwon, however, one should try exploring the flavors of the region with wine. Not many people pair Korean food with wine or know they go surprisingly well together - but in fact, they do. 



 



Gangwon food characteristics

 

Before we try the food from Kangwondo and wine,
Understanding features and components of Gangwon-do should be the first priority.

Gangwon Province is the coldest region in Korea. Situated in the northeast, it is a mountainous region - 80 percent of the province is covered by mountains - which explains the chilly weather. Cutting through the middle of the province from north to south is the Taebaek Mountain Range. The east part of the range is higher in elevation while the west is lower with gentler slopes and bigger temperature gaps.

Due to its geographical location, Gangwon Province is where to find Korea's best ski slopes and resorts.
The Winter Olympics this year will take place across PyeongChang, Gangneung and Jeongseon.

 

Its chilly weather has resulted in ingredients such as potatoes, corn and buckwheat growing most abundantly in the region. In the past, they used to be hardy plants eaten to relieve famine but are now representative ingredients of the province. Gangwon Province is particularly well known for foods cooked with potatoes.

 




The province is also known for its abundance of greens foraged from the mountains and forests such as doraji, gosari, dooreup, chamnamul, chinamul and gomchi. These are often stir-fried and transformed into a dish called "namul." 

The foods of the Gangwon region are characterized by a clean taste, maximizing the original flavors of the ingredients as they use very little spice. 


Pairing wine with Gangwon food 


 

When discussing the experience of drinking wine with Gangwon food, this reporter wanted the discussion to come alive with a real pairing experience. So we sat down at a restaurant in Seoul that serves Gangwon food and tried pairing them with three kinds of white wine - two French and one Chilean. 


 



We ordered gamjajeon (potato pancakes) with gamja ongshimi (potato ball soup) and tried them with the three wines which were Le Petit Caboche (2015), La Cour Pavillon (2016) and La Joya (2014), the latter which was Chilean.





              How about having a taste of Kangwondo traditional food with wine?

 Hello. We are Korea National Souvenir Center.


Following the previous transportation, I prepared the second part, 

Pyeongchang Olympics restaurants, and accommodation.

 

If you're curious about transportation,


All about Pyeongchang's Olympic


Pyeongchang Olympics is only one month away. 
I think I have to get full before I can enjoy the Olympics. 
Pyeongchang, Gangneung and Jeongseon, the host city of Pyeongchang's Winter Olympics, 
are also one of the most delicious cities in Gangwon-DO. 
It would be fun to visit various restaurants during the Pyeongchang Olympics.






1. restaurants.

 

Oh, my god, Is this jjambbong?




Bongpyeong China, located in Bongpyeong-myeon, Pyeongchang-gun, Gangwon-do, 

Korea has galbi jjambbong) that sell only 50 bowls per day. 

 

The jjambbong with beef ribs and whole hills on top of the mussels piled high in a bowl is said
to have a clean and aromatic flavor.  
Every Wednesday is a regular holiday !

 

In Hoenggye-ri, you can enjoy a sweet and sour pork named Jintaewon.
The sweet and sour pork of this house is freshly fried. I'm impressed with the heaps of leeks and cabbages
that are stacked on top of the pork.

 

If you went to Pyeongchang Olympics, wouldn't it be basic to visit Pyeongchang restaurants??




 

Do you want to feel the traditions of Gangwon-do?


These days, the Cirsium setidens are becoming popular as more and more health-conscious people.
Jeongseon is a district famous for its Cirsium setidens. Located in Jeongseon-eup, ' ArI Dinner ' is a local beloved Cirsium Setidens restaurant. Here the food is prepared in advance and is not served to customers. As soon as the order is placed, fry the Cirsium setidens in oil to make rice. So it is more delicious. In addition to rice with a cup of rice, ' Yeongyangdolkobap, ' with a jujube, a chestnut bank, is also popular. How about tasting both? ?

 

There is a restaurant famous for its ' buckwheat soup ' as well as a rice dinner. It is a small restaurant next to the supermarket with only three tables, called Beonyeong Restaurant. Even the name of the buckwheat soup is unfamiliar to people but it is a traditional dish. To make buckwheat soup, we have to steamed buckwheat with dried,
boil the rice, potato tofu, and bean sprouts in the boiled water to complete.
 
My mouth is already watering.





Would you like to try Korean food properly?

 


If you want to enjoy Korean traditional cuisine, let's visit ‘과객’ located in Geumsan-ri, then learn how to enjoy the dishes. 
The restaurant, decorated with traditional Hanok, is fresh using local ingredients based on the market of the 500 year old and older Kangnung Kim's restaurant. More than 20 different types of side dishes including grilled pollack and beef,
boiled with dried pollack and wheat plaice are placed on one table and closed on Sundays.

 

If you want to enjoy fusion food, why don't you go to the Wolhwa Pungmul Market? 
I put pizza, spicy Jeyuk bokkeum, and Gangneung specialty, dureub as topping.

 




What is the Olympic athletes village menu?


The rest areas of the Yeongdong Expressway via Pyeongchang and Gangneung are busy preparing z

to host an Olympic guest via massive renovations by the end of last year.
In particular, the nearby areas of Hoengseong, Pyeongchang, and Gangneung Daegwanryeong Rest Area have turned z

into " restaurants on the road. "

 

1. Gangneung Daegwallyeong Rest Area (2-way) 

Customers and experts can enjoy premium dishes that are best in the country : tofu and poolside.
It is the selected Best food at the national lounge. I tried it, too, but it tasted great. 

2. Pyeongchang Rest Area (2-way) 

At the Pyeongchang Rest Area, you can taste the Olympic athletes village's diet. Shinsegye Food, the branch office of Pyeongchang rest stop, is in charge of running the athletes village cafeteria. 
If you are curious about the athletes ' village's diet, it would be a good idea to stop by and try it. 

3. Munmak-eup Rest Area (Pyeongchang, Gangneung) 

Gonu Steak, a Korean beef steak sushi restaurant, also offers entertainment and board game rental services. If you are curious about it, I think it would be a good idea to stop by.

 




 

2. accommodation.



If you are not watching the Olympics on a day, you should definitely reserve a place to stay in Pyeongchang. 
There is good news for these people. The National Olympic Office in Gangwon said, " The price of accommodation is dropping in areas near Pyeongchang's Olympic Stadium. "
According to Gangwon Province, pension rates in Gangneung, which used to soar to reach 500,000 won, have now dropped by half to 240,000 won. The price of pension in Pyeongchang dropped from 400,000 won to 200,000 won, and pension in Jeongseon area dropped from 250,000 won to 130,000 won. Did you all finish your reservation? ?

 

Gangwon-do has operated a special call center for the 1330, Pyeongchang Winter Olympics since last month
to help make accommodations with the Korea Tourism Organization.
When you make a request to call the call center counselor, call local authorities to find a suitable location. 

Even dialogue between the owners of the hotels is translated into foreign tourists.
The call center will operate free of charge 24 hours until the end of the Pyeongchang Paralympics on March 18.



THANK YOU.

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.
