You know kids easily feel hungry because of their
good metabolism. And adults easily have itchy mouth.

Did you spot intriguing things among these bottles of wine?

Hanji mulberry paper.

Until this moment, I'm still amazed by the durability of Hanji paper. When I visited Jeonju Sago, the guide told us the reason why Joseon Wangjo Sillok was written on the Hanji.

Historian (Sagwan) wrote drafts (Sacho) of the Annals of Joseon Dynasty on Hanji too. Then after they compiled and published the Sillok, they washed away the ink and reuse the Hanji to write Sacho of the next king.

Jangseung, the village guardian which erected at the entrance of the village that bearing some resemblance to the dolhareubang with bulging eyes, a fist-like nose, and protruding front teeth. Folks believed these poles symbolizing guardian god that can protect the village from evil spirit and others harms.

 First love never dies @Omokdae Pavilion...
the romantic atmosphere stole my heart!

Too bad, we couldn't rest inside the pavilion because the floor was wet by the melted snow. This area has been a popular destination for locals as well as tourists. But, we didn't see the crowd that day because it's too cold. 

To be frank, I was quite hesitated to take off my jacket. But, because I wanted to have nice  Hanbok outdoor photos with Hanok structures, then must sacrifice a bit... as always no pain, no gain! Therefore, I grinned cheerfully and walking proudly as if as Joseon citizen!

I was amazed with my hotpack, which seemed always worked at the wrong timing and wrong place. So, when you needed them most, they're as good as cold pack... Sigh~!!!
