Just came back from Korea . While I was initially\u00a0 a little bit concern about having the GINSENG CHICKEN in Summer, I just could not resist the temptation. Samgye-tang or ginseng chicken soup, meaning ginseng – chicken – soup in Korean, consists primarily of a whole young chicken – filled with garlic, rice, jujube, and ginseng.\u00a0This after having too many barbecue meat, grill meat as I am a bit of a heaty person.<\/p>\n

This time I stayed at the Westin Chosun which is just beside the HWANGGUDAN ( The Altar). This is similar to the Temple of Heaven in Beijing where offerings are made to the Heaven , during the emperors’ time.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

There are many palaces around this area i.e. DEOKSUGUNG just a ten minute walks to the west from the hotel . However , the largest of them is the GYEONGBOKGUNG Palace which is further up north. For the larger palaces you may want to rent an ear piece for a guided tour . This is getting more popular nowadays and they have similar ones like the one at Forbidden City in China. The one in Korea , you have to press the number \/ pinpoint the location on the map. However the one in Forbidden City is using the GPS system where is can detect your position and tell you a story or two about the smaller palaces.<\/p>\n

The love for Korean food and its medicinal properties were made popular by the Korean Movie,\u00a0Dae\u00a0<\/i><\/strong>Jang Geum<\/b><\/i>\u00a0(\u5927\u9577\u4eca) . I<\/span>t tells the tale of an orphaned kitchen cook who went on to become the king’s first female physician. In a time when women held little influence in society, young apprentice cook Jang-geum strives to learn the\u00a0secrets of Korean cooking and medicine in order to cure the King of his various ailments. It is based on the true story of Jang-geum, the first female royal physician of the Joseon Dynasty.<\/p>\n

Have you seen another famous Korean movie called Winter Sonata.<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0It made tourist the world over to flock to Korea scenic sights to take selfie\/ wefies.
