Korea's New Year's Tradition, Culture, and Clothing: Hanbok

이미지
Hello everyone!  Year 2020 is approaching really really soon and I know different countries have different tradition and culture they follow on the first day of the year.  Same goes with Korea; Korea has its own tradition and culture it follows.  First of all we visit our families who are in their home towns or visit their family wherever they are. New Year's is the day where everyone gathers together and bond with one another.  One tradition Korea follows is performing ancestral rites to the our lost ones. The food that is usually on the table when doing this rite are fruits, skewers, Korean pancakes, and other dishes that our lost ones once loved.  Credits:제사본찬 This is an example of the ancestral rite plate.  Another common tradition is New Year's bow . It is usually done by younger people to the older ones. From there, people usually provide pocket money.  This part is actually kids' favorite part!!  Credits: GettyImagesBank Food that f

Hello everyone! I am Hanboknam!  Today I want to share with you on how my Shen Yang trip went.  Distance wise, Shen Yang is very close to Korea.  It only takes an hour to an hour and half to travel to Shen Yang from Korea.  Before visiting this place, take note that Shen Yang is not a well known tourist destination, which means that there are low chances of locals understanding you.  Yet, it is a historical and wonderful place to go around so you should take a visit!  On the first day of Shen Yang, we went around the Shen Yang Imperial Palace.  This place is also a museum so you will be able to see the different artifacts the Qing Dynasty produced. Their artifacts are so intricate in the sense that they were able to give details even in tiny areas that you think won't be seen!  Look at this clock.  Its needles are so sensitively made, and the paintings used colors that shows the characteristics of the Qing Dynasty and much more! You can

Hello everyone!  I am Hanboknam! Today I want to share with you guys  on how Koreans enjoy and spend Halloween!  First of all,  We have to decide on what we want to be on this day, since a lot of people go out and have fun with one another, while we are wearing our costumes and makeup.  One of the most known places to visit during Halloween is Itewon (이태원). Itewon is located in Seoul and it is known for being multicultural  since there are a lot of foreigners and different restaurants with different cuisines available too, and I definitely want you guys to try their food!  Even many Koreans visit there because of the different vibe they feel in Itewon.  It is like being in a different place.  I know many of you guys stay at MyongDong when you visit Korea,  so I will suggest one of the possible routes you can take to go to Itewon station.  Personally one of the easiest way to get there, or any other places in Korea is by riding a train (MRT).

It's the Gyeongbok Palace branch in Hanboknam.   I've never been there since I opened it. Today, I went to experience Hanbok. - It's my company, but I'll try it out honestly. Anyway, on a very cold day, I arrived at Gyeongbokgung Station! I'm at exit 4 of Gyeongbokgung Station. There's a yellow building in front of me. It's a Hanboknam building. The building of GyeongbokPalace branch, which is easy for me to find. In front of the entrance, there are beautiful Hanboks suitable for the yellow building. There are colorful hanbok,  but there are various photo zones in the basement, so I have to visit to there.  I chose the most luxurious looking hanbok. The color and design are so pretty. I chose
