Hongdae Guest Houses





Korea Tourism Organization (KTO) has released a map of guest houses in the Hongdae (Hongik University) area, a trendy cultural and shopping district.

Titled “Hongik University Area Guest Houses”, the map contains information on 35 guest houses, as well as nearby community facilities like hospitals, pharmacies, banks, convenience stores and bus stops, and cultural facilities like museums, exhibition halls, movie theaters and cafes. It also features basic Korean phrases, and Seoul Subway guide and map.

Meanwhile, the “Hongik University Area Guest Houses” was put together by KTO after a year of research and field-checking with the help of the Soongmoon High School Youth Travel Volunteer Team. It is currently published in four different languages (English, Japanese, Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese), and distributed at the Mapo Tourist Information Center located near Exit 5 of Hongik University Subway Station (Seoul Subway Line 2 or Airport Railroad).

OMG...Crazy Snow!!













It has been snowing crazily and within an hour....there is tons and tons of snow and it is so hard to go out - even from one building to another... all these pictures are taken between 11:30a.m to 1:00p.m in Bundang unless otherwise mentioned.

I got stuck in traffic on my way to the bank which is only a kilometer away .....all the buses and cars are slipping and sliding....

I hope everybody reaches home safe and there are no accidents etc.

It is a really heavy spell of snow today....

Be careful, stay warm, walk safely and drive safe!


 A friend and my former teammate while working at Incheon airport sent this photo ..flights r delayed. Here is an update from Chosun Ilbo about it.

A friend D, sent these from her workplace - Incheon Airport.
