LATE POST : AROUND SEOUL


 
  berdasarkan browsing, seoul ini kota yang sangat connected dengan internet. the most wired city. tetapi sedikit sekali yang gratis. kadang kadang ada yang free atau open tapi susah juga log in. 
untuk menggunakan simcard dlokal, di airport kita bisa menyewa sekaligus dengan handsetnya. sebab kadang simcardnya tidak compatible dengan handsetnya. kami berdua mengandalkan wifi gratisan. nanti di hotel. saya masih menggunakan blackberry lama yang sulit sekali menemukan free wifi. 
ada yang suka nyambung menjelang maghrib sampai satu atau dua jam kemudian. jadi dijam jam seperti itu saya biasanya mengabari ke eyang eyang acara kami hari itu. atau sekedar ngobrol dengan sepupu. 
meskipun sudah terhitung maju, seoul masih tetap menggunakan tulisan dan bahasanya disetiap kesempatan seperti rambu rambu diatas. beberapa ada tulisan dalam bahasa inggris dibagian bawah. jadi benar benar seperti buta huruf. rasanya nyesek banget. 


 

ini adalah halte bus yang mengelilingi kota dan berhenti disetiap spot wisata. karena ada banyak, puluhan titik spot wisata, kami pilih yang kira kira paling menarik. sebab waktu terbatas. oh ya. kami beli tiket 1x dan berlaku sepanjang hari. kami menggunakan sampai 3 spot kemudian kelelahan akhirnya menyerah dan susah payah naik taxi ;p

 

kami memilih hotel di itaewon untuk 2 malam pertama di seoul. sebab kabarnya itaewon semacam malioboro. dan disana banyak restoran halal. dekat dengan banyak spot wisata. memang benar. disana pusat keramaian. bahkan sampai tengah malam.  
ini satu restoran halal yang kami coba. kami pilih beef with rice. ternyata yang keluar adalah seperti pastel raksasa. disampingnya ada sayuran mentah. macam macam selada. dimana nasinya? tidak disediakan sendok. adaya hanya garpu dan pisau. padahal nasinya bukan nasi pulen seperti sushi. setelah pastel dibelah, baru kelihatan nasinya yang dimasak dengan daging. mirip nasi permata. tapi ada kejunya. lucu aja. mungkin cocoknya namanya pie nasi daging. 
 di itaewon ini juga ada masjid agungnya seoul. masjidnya tidak terlihat dari jalan raya. masuk dulu, melewati gang dan beberapa anak tangga, baru sampai halaman luas masjid ini. disebelah kanan ada semacam kantor yang meminjamkan kain untuk para pengunjung wanita yang mengenakan rok pendek atau celana pendek.

saat disana, sedang ada pengajian. kelihatannya cukup banyak juga jamaahnya. saya tidak berani masuk jadi tidak bisa mendengar bahasa yang digunakan dalam pengajian itu. kemudian kami melanjutkan perjalanan. ke spot pertama dari rute bus kota.

Introduction
Coming out of Exit 3 or 4 of Chungmuro Subway Station, you will see the normal city scenes of large buildings and bustling streets, but you are also right in front of Namsangol Hanok Village. You may find it interesting that this traditional Korean village is located between modern skyscrapers. This village has five restored traditional Korean houses, a pavilion, a pond and a time capsule as well, making it a perfect spot to take a leisure walk.

When you enter from the front gate, you will see the vast valley and Chunugak Pavilion to the left of a small pond. Beside the pond, there is a large open space where performances are usually held. On the other side, you will see five traditional houses. These houses were remodeled after the traditional houses of Joseon Dynasty and belong to those of various social classes, ranking from peasants to aristocrats. The furniture in the houses is situated to help guests understand the daily lives of the past, and the clean, traditional houses, as well as their antique items provide a great photo op.

If you would like to check out some souvenirs, stop by the traditional craftwork exhibit where you can buy small dishes and other items. You can also have some traditional tea and refreshments. On the grounds are traditional games that you may try such as neolttwigi (seesaw jumping), tuho(arrow throwing) and yutnori (traditional board game).

Don't forget to catch the traditional marriage ceremony that takes place during the weekends at Bak Yeong Hyo's Residence. The traditional marriage ceremony is an interesting event for both Koreans and foreigners and many gather to watch. During the winter season (November to February), there are not as many wedding ceremonies as compared to that during spring and fall. Weddings are typically held around 12:00 or 1:00 p.m. and visitors can take pictures with the husband and wife wearing traditional wedding costumes. There is also a time capsule commemorating Seoul’s 600 Year Anniversary that was buried in 1994 and is scheduled to be reopened four hundred years later in 2394.

 ini penjelasan tentang 'museum". seperti kembali ke masa lalu.
 oh ya. meski masih musim panas, sesekali hujan. langitnya tidak jernih biru. jadi sulit mendapatkan foto foto yang bagus.
 pernah kena scam waktu foto beginian di grand palace bangkok. jadi waktu liat ini, kami celingukan, liat liat siapa tahu ujug ujug ada yang datang minta bayaran. 
dari namsangol hanok traditional village ini, kami mengejar bus tadi. mereka tepat waktu. jadi  kita bisa memperhitungkan. berapa lama bisa berada di satu spot wisata untuk naik bus berikutnya. sayangnya, sebenarnya cara ini tidak cocok untuk anakku waktu itu. karena memang sejak berangkat sudah kelelahan. ditambah dikejar waktu dan mengejar bus, adanya cuma lelah dan capek saja. tidak berkesan apalagi masih seusia itu.
dari peta, istana yang besar adalah gyeongbokgung. semua berakhiran gung jadi saya menyimpulkan istana dalam bahasa korea adalah gung.


Gyeongbokgung Palace (경복궁)


seingat saya ini adalah gerbang istana dimana saya mulai lelah dan cranky kepanasan. pengen naik taxi pulang ke hotel. tidak mau lagi mengejar ngejar bus yang tadi. padahal si papa kayanya pusing tujuh keliling juga berusaha membaca peta. pokoknya jadi manyun manyunan. untungnya anakku tida rewel meskipun lelah. hanya saja setiap sebentar dia menggelosor. tidak peduli di trotoar atau dihalaman atau dimana mana. 
 
jalan masuk menuju istana. serasa beribu ribu kilometer dalam kondisi badan seperti ini. tapi penasaran juga sebenarnya. kami beli air minum didekat loket tiket sekalian ke toilet. entah kenapa setiap kali beli air mineral di seoul dan nanti di busan, air minum selalu keluar dari dalam kulkas. susah sekali mencari air minum suhu ruang. jadi setiap kali beli, dibungkus jaket dulu, dimasukkan dalam ransel. setelah beberapa waktu baru diminum.

Introduction
Built in 1395, Gyeongbokgung Palace is also commonly referred to as the Northern Palace because its location is furthest north when compared to the neighboring palaces of Changdeokgung (Eastern Palace) and Gyeonghuigung (Western Palace) Palace. Gyeongbokgung Palace is arguably the most beautiful, and remains the largest of all five palaces.

The premises were once destroyed by fire during the Imjin War (Japanese Invasions, 1592-1598). However, all of the palace buildings were later restored under the leadership of Heungseondaewongun during the reign of King Gojong (1852-1919).

Remarkably, the most representative edifices of the Joseon Dynasty, Gyeonghoeru Pavilion and Hyangwonjeong Pond, have remained relatively intact. Woldae and the sculptures of Geunjeongjeon (The Royal Audience Chamber) represent past sculptures of contemporary art.

The National Palace Museum of Korea is located south of Heungnyemun Gate, and the National Folk Museum is located on the eastern side within Hyangwonjeong.
