A MONTH OF KOREAN CULTURE

     I was able to cover most places in my bucket list that winter. I
Hwaseong Fortress
arrived with my husband  on February 7, 2013 and left on March 9 of the same year by myself. A month in Korea gave me enough time to visit another place that's significant to their history, the Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. This holds an important part of King Jeongjo's reign during the Joseon Dynasty. A glance at one of it's gates when we passed by it on our way to Everland Resort captivated my eyes and made me want to go back to Suwon and see what's hidden behind it's walls.
     A week after, my husband took me to Songtan area to see
Street food at Shopping Road
the Shopping Road which is just across the Osan Miliary Base. A lot of shops, bars and restaurants lined the street and the small alleys, mostly American brands. It was quite a long walk from Songtan Station but I enjoyed looking a the Korean homes along the streets. We saw a lot of foreigners around, most are family members of American Soldiers assigned in the base. I had fun checking out the shops but I enjoyed the spicy chicken on stick the most. I'd go back if I can just to have some again.
