The atmosphere was pleasant, but there weren't many models present when we visited.

The brand we visited was Big Park by Park Yoon Su.

I'm proud to be wearing a self-made traditional Thai silk skirt and blouse today. :-)

After watching the show, I was very hungry. My junior who studies here took me to eat a very delicious spicy stir-fried squid restaurant in Hongdae. Hongdae again? Is this your base camp?

Location of Hong's Jjukkumi: Hongik Univ. Station (Line No. 2), Exit 8

Translation:

As a devoted octopus enthusiast, I was thrilled to order the octopus and pork belly dish. However, I was perplexed by the accompanying rice, which was served in plain water. It lacked any flavor or resemblance to broth. Unsure of how to proceed, I ended up adding the rice to the pan and mixing it with the octopus. As we neared the end of the meal, my companion informed me that I should have requested fried rice. Apparently, it's not offered unless explicitly requested. So, I said, "Please bring fried rice."

They removed all the ingredients from the pan, added more sauce, then put in rice, shrimp eggs, and seaweed. They stir-fried it all together. It looked like this: Oh my goodness! It was incredibly delicious... We highly recommend this restaurant. We'd give it the number one spot on our trip... We were so busy eating that we didn't take many pictures.

Now that I'm free, where should I go? So I went for a walk on Garosu-gil. I just walked around, had some cheesecake, did a little shopping, and walked a lot. This area is full of brand-name stores and high-quality, expensive clothes. It's also very large, so I couldn't walk around the whole thing.

**[[DAY 6]] Haneul Park, Insadong**

The weather is good today. We are going to Hanuel Park. We left late and got off at World Cup Stadium.

The moment we stepped out of the stadium, we were greeted by a vibrant tapestry of trees adorned with hues of green, yellow, orange, and red. We couldn't resist jumping into this colorful embrace, reveling in its beauty. We spent a considerable amount of time immersed in this enchanting spectacle.

It's time to go find Hanuel Park. We know there are many ways to get there, but we chose to walk along the stadium and climb the stairs in front of it. Then turn left and walk until you see the bridge over the road and the 293 steps in the distance. Just walk there, haha.

We stopped again at the tree in the parking lot! Green, yellow, orange, red.

The majority of my fellow travelers were elderly aunts and uncles, who were remarkably energetic. Meanwhile, I was constantly complaining about when we would finally arrive.

The journey is punctuated by photo stops, stretching throughout the day. Don't be fooled into thinking that the 293 steps lead directly to Hanuel Park. Not quite! The journey continues. For those unfamiliar with the terrain, the distance remains a mystery. We follow the crowd, GPS turned off for an added thrill.

We have finally arrived! It's going to be a long journey, so make sure you have plenty of supplies. We'll be walking for a long time.

After spending the afternoon at Hanuel Park, we hurried out as we had to factor in the time it would take to walk back the way we came. We saw that there was a shuttle service available, but the queue was extremely long, and we weren't sure where the shuttle went. So, we decided to walk. Let's go!

Insadong Location: Anguk Station (Line No. 3), Exit 6

Day 7: KTX to Busan, Nampodong Street

This sentence describes the seventh day of a trip, where the traveler takes the KTX (Korean high-speed train) to Busan and explores Nampodong Street.

We opted for the Flexible 2-Day Pass (Saver) for groups of 2-5 people, which best suited our trip and group size. With the addition of three more friends, the total cost came to 91,000 won per person for a round-trip journey within 10 days, allowing us to visit any attractions we desired.

You must print the voucher and exchange it for a ticket at the counter. Travel time is 13.50-16.29.

Busan is just a 2.5-hour drive away.

We really enjoyed Busan. The men are handsome, haha. The people here are kind, friendly, and very helpful, especially the older women and men.

Translation:

The original text describes a personal experience of arriving at a new location and receiving unexpected help from strangers.

Here's the translated version:

We got off the train, confused about where to go next. A kind lady approached us and informed us that the elevator was located in the opposite direction, saving us from carrying our luggage up the stairs. As we were about to exit the station, we inquired about directions to our accommodation from the locals. The same lady who had helped us earlier offered to walk us there herself. This incredibly helpful gesture left a strong first impression on us.

Let's explore and find food at Nampodong Street, which is within walking distance from our accommodation. As we stroll along, we notice that this area is a shopping district, much like Seoul, with a large number of young people.

[[DAY 8]] Jagalchi Fish Market, Gamcheon Culture Village, Busan Modern History Museum, Yongdusan Park

We stayed at Hotel MU, which is located near Nampo Station. We took the subway one stop to Jagalchi Station (Line No. 1), exiting at Exit 10.

I'm going to try some seafood... the oysters in Busan are huge!

Walking to the end of the alley, we found a multi-story building. We went up to the second floor to eat, choosing a restaurant at random as we had no prior information.

This is a seafood dish that lacks any spice. I miss the seafood dipping sauce. I especially like the live squid.

The view of the sea from behind the building is amazing. The wind is strong and very cool.

This place is incredibly good for our hearts. We love it so much! The air is fresh and we can walk around endlessly without getting bored, although it does get tiring. We definitely need to come back again!

I came across a grilled squid stall. It was sooooooo delicious! I wish there was a stall like this near my house. 😭😭😭

Free time, no plans, and evening approaching. Looking for nearby attractions, I discovered the Busan Modern History Museum, offering free admission.

Take the bus back to Toseong Station and transfer to Jungang Station (Line No. 1), Exit 5.

Translation:

After wandering around, I found my way to Yongdusan Park, where I enjoyed panoramic views of Busan and the Busan Tower.

We walked until we reached Nampodong Street and looked for dinner. Let me tell you, the 32-cent ice cream that looked so delicious was incredibly disappointing. It wasn't even remotely tasty, not even the ice cream cone. I thought it would taste like McDonald's ice cream, but no way, it wasn't even close.

The bus only stops at the main road leading to the temple. We have to walk up the hill for a long time.

Today is a holiday, and the temple is crowded with visitors, including many Chinese tour groups.

It took a long journey to reach this sight, but it was worth it.

On the way back, take bus number 9 and get off at Haeundae Station as before. Walk straight to exits 3 and 5, and continue walking until you reach Haeundae Market and Haeundae Beach.

This area is highly urbanized, with numerous tall buildings.

Feeling strange wearing a modest outfit to the beach. Haha.

This evening, I met up with a Korean friend of a friend. They told me that today is the annual flower fireworks festival, which only happens once a year. It's a huge event! What a coincidence and stroke of luck that I get to see it.

The event was held at Gwangan Beach, accessible from Kwangan Station (Line No. 2) Exit 3 or 5. Following the massive crowd was the easiest way to navigate. The sheer number of people was overwhelming, and there seemed to be an equally large police presence, possibly representing the entire province. Amusingly, the police officers were surprisingly attractive and stood guard in neat rows, offering a delightful sight.

The journey back from the fireworks display was brutal. Due to the overwhelming number of people, the authorities had to temporarily close the nearest subway station, stating that it could no longer accommodate passengers. We had to walk back two stations to board the train at the beginning of the line. Empty trains were running to pick up passengers at that station, making it seem like a national event.

Day 10: Busan Station, Seoul Station, Gayang Station, Hongdae

This sentence appears to be a list of locations, possibly stops on a journey or a schedule of some sort.

Here is a possible translation:

Day 10:

• Busan Station
• Seoul Station
• Gayang Station
• Hongdae

This translation is simple and short, as requested. It also maintains the original structure of the sentence.

Please note that without further context, it is difficult to determine the exact meaning of this sentence.

We planned to take the KTX back to Seoul around noon to avoid arriving late at night. When we arrived at Busan Station, we exchanged our reservation for tickets. The staff member said, "We only have standing tickets." Wait, wait, did I hear that right? Standing tickets? If we wanted a seat, the next train was at 9 pm! It was Sunday, so there were a lot of people returning to Seoul. And because it was a flexible ticket, it didn't specify a seat or time.

Standing for two and a half hours is a waste of time.

We had to give in to the tickets for our wives and children. We could choose to stand between which carriages. Haha. //There were tears in the laughter.//

We opted for booth 17 because we had already visited it on our way here. Upon closer inspection, the living conditions exceeded our expectations. It boasts two foldable chairs, allowing for cozy seating, a bathroom, luggage storage, a trash can, a water dispenser, and phone charging stations. The amenities are plentiful.

Notably, the relaxed atmosphere allowed for uninhibited conversation, fostering a sense of camaraderie. Occasionally, fellow audience members would stand up, seemingly in solidarity with the standing ticket holders. As the crowd began to disperse, staff permitted us to take seats, although we opted to remain in our comfortable standing positions.

After arriving in Seoul, we went our separate ways to our accommodations. My friend and I stayed with our host at Gayang Station, and then we met up with our friends in Hongdae. Hongdae again, huh? Well, our friends had never been there before, haha.

For dinner, I tried the famous cheese ribs. Location: Hongik Univ. Station (Line No.2) Exit 8. As for the fried chicken restaurant, I just walked in... It wasn't delicious at all. Bonchon is much better.

[[DAY 11]] Insadong, Gyeongbokgung Palace

Today at noon, we plan to rent a hanbok and take some cool photos. We started at Insadong because we had our eye on a rental shop there. Location: Insadong: Anguk Station (Line No. 3) Exit 6

This shop is located at the entrance of Insadong Street, on the right-hand side. Go up to the second floor, where you will find a wide selection of hanbok at various prices. The hanbok we chose cost 17,600 won. We added a hat and a bag, and brought our own fan. We rented the hanbok for 4 hours.

It was time to enter the palace, so I wandered around looking for a way in until I found it. Then I walked in beautifully, wearing a hanbok that was free to enter.

Let me tell you something... our group members are so popular that tourists can't stop asking for photos. And it's like our faces are just the right type for foreigners, you know, their type. Even when we were wearing hanboks in a country full of oppas, it was still only foreigners who asked for photos! The craziest thing was when a Polish guy just asked for my Facebook out of the blue... I was so confused, haha!

"She was free, so she suggested to her friends that they go to the MMCA. She wanted to go. She had walked past it the day before, but it was closed."

The MMCA, or National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, is a museum dedicated to modern and contemporary art. It is closed on Mondays.

We took the train to Insadong, just like yesterday. The museum entrance fee was 4,000 won. Let's go in and enjoy some art.

Our favorite angle. The holographic plastic (or is it?) reflects sunlight, creating a holographic effect with vibrant colors.

This part looks out and looks from the outside.

After leaving the museum, I walked to Samcheongdong Street. I originally planned to visit the Hanok Village, but I was too tired and it was too far away. I ended up going to Cafe Breezin and then Lotte Mart.

Oh my goodness! Taking in the breathtaking views from this high vantage point during this season is simply incredible. It's so good that I'm tempted to move here permanently.

[[DAY 13]] Nami Island

Today, we went outside of Seoul to Nami Island. To be honest, I was indifferent to Nami Island, feeling that there was nothing to see there. But my friend wanted to go, so I agreed. When we arrived, I screamed with excitement because the island was full of maple and ginkgo trees. I loved it so much! I'm so glad I came.

To reach Nami Island, take the Gyeongchun Line to Gapyeong Station.

It was a long journey. Upon arriving at the station, I joined the queue for taxis and told the driver to take me to Nami Island. He then drove me to the pier.

Note: We were five people, and the taxi driver initially agreed to take us. However, he later informed us that the taxi could only accommodate four passengers due to regulations.

Immerse yourself in the beauty of the island's trees and savor the delectable "tak kalbi," a local specialty renowned for its exquisite flavor.
