Marie and I visited 숲속한방랜드 (Soopsok Hanbang Land) sauna, near Yonsei University in Sinchon.
숲속 (Soopsok) means "middle of forest."
한방 (Hanbang) is a name for Korean medicine.
랜드 (Land)
This is a 24-hour sauna located in the mountains, away from the hustle and bustle of busy Seoul city life.
It's a neat little get away to sweat out the previous night's alcohol or a place to relax and relieve some stress.

Marie and my family go to visit 들무새 (Deul-mu-sae), a famous restaurant located in Pocheon, South Korea. This restaurant is famous for being decorated entirely in penises. There are penis plates, penis cups, penis doorknobs, penis art, etc. Everything revolves around the iconic image of the penis. NO THEY DON'T COOK OR SERVE REAL PENISES....!!!
We learned about this place first from our good friend, Mimsie Ladner, a famous blogger in Korea who runs MySeoulSearching.com. If you haven't seen her blog site yet, I HIGHLY recommend it! It's extremely informative, and contains content you can't find anywhere else on Korean culture, lifestyle, and travel. ^^
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate the support!

My friends, Marie, and I went on an epic hiking, day-drinking adventure in Seoul!
We met up at Dongnimmun Station on Line 3, and proceeded to head up through Muak-dong, a neighborhood famous for their shaman temple grounds.
The trail to Inwangsan mountain starts off in Muak-dong. It's a fairly easy hike up the mountain, and we reached the summit in about an hour.
There are great spots with amazing views overlooking Seoul city from this trail!
Afterwards, we went downwards a little to the Seoul Fortress Wall, and followed it north up towards Buam-dong. Buam-dong is a famous little area northeast of the royal palace. They have many cafes, and specifically, there is the Sanmotunge cafe, which was a filming location for the famous Korean drama "Coffee Prince."
After visiting the cafe briefly, we ventured into a forest area not far from the cafe and hung out in the quiet shade of the trees and enjoyed some makgeolli (fermented rice wine).

Located at Jamsil Station on Seoul's subway Line 2 & Line 8, Lotte World is the world's largest indoor amusement park. In the center of it all, there is a large ice skating rink.
You can ice skate at the rink without having to pay admission to the amusement park. The amusement park is separated away from the ice skating rink. Admission to the ice skating rink is 10,000 Won, ice skate rental is 5,000 Won, and glove rental is 600 Won.
Watch the video as we enjoy a fun Saturday afternoon in Seoul!

In late September, a group of English teachers working for the Seoul Metropolitan Office of Education (S.M.O.E.) were invited to visit the islands of Ulleungdo and Dokdo. This experience was hosted by the Isabu Academy.
This was a unique experience for foreigners to learn about the history of Ulleungdo and Dokdo. Dokdo is a set of two islands in the middle of the East Sea, which have been part of an on-going territorial dispute between Korea and Japan.
Through this journey, we learned about the history of the entire region and the reason why this on-going territorial dispute is such a big deal to Korea.
Thank you for watching, we really appreciate the support!
