[Bagan Datoh] - Nine Island Agency

We took taxi from Teluk Intan and arrived at Bagan Datoh around 12:30pm.

 Nine Island Agency.

First, the staff told us that we can leave our luggage first and had our lunch first.

Then, she suddenly asked another staff to check for available room. 

5-person bedroom with aircon. 

Glad that we're allowed to early check-in so we could at least wash faces to refresh ourselves. She's kind to help us booking for taxi for the next day after knowing that we came here by taxi.

 She explained to us the itinerary, and told us to 

gather at 4:00pm for touring the village before
having dinner and Blue Tears Tour.

 Clean shared bathrooms also in blue color.

 

More bedrooms in this colorful house.

We had Tom Yam Fried Rice and Fried Kuetiao for lunch

at the restaurant that the staff recommended to us.

Stay tune for next post... Blue Tears Tour~!

[Suwon City Tour] - Haewoojae Mr Toilet House

We left Gwangjang market at around 7:30 and walked to Jongno 5-ga station. Then we took the subway to Suwon. It supposed to take about 1 hour 15 minutes for 26 stations.

We took longer because we thought we'd to transfer at Guro station, 

we went up and down and waited for the next train and worried 

we might be late to join for Suwon City Tour.

We reached Suwon Station Exit 5 at 9:15am

and saw the Tour bus parked there.

 The driver told us to buy the ticket from Suwon Tourist Information Center.

Lucky that it still have available seats for us. Phew~!^^

 
 On the bus, the tour guide distributed headsets and City Tour Course leaflets to everyone.

There's a lady guide following and guided us along the course. She apologized because she normally only guiding Japanese and domestic tourists, so she only can speak a little bit of English. Well, it's actually our fault for not reserved the tour earlier. I believe they'll arrange an English tour guide if we booked it earlier.

We really appreciated her effort and tried her best to briefly introduce the places to us in English. Well, we're quite surprised as the rest joining this tour were Korean local tourists!

Actually, it's totally fine for us, there's audio guide on each seat with 4 languages option. You can select your preferred language, and listen to the introduction of the next destination.

Our first destination - Haewoojae ( 해우재 ) Mr Toilet House

These two poopies welcoming us at the entrance...

Ate Poop Bread (Ddong Bbang) at Insadong yesterday, and today we're visiting Mr Toilet with a lot of poopies similar shape with ddongbbang.

‘Haewoojae’ literally means a place where one can solve one’s worries.

 Gaeddong-yi is a name given as the person was born in a toilet of 

his mother's  parents' home! Maybe it was the reason that 

Mr Sim Jae-duck was so attached to toilets.

When he was the Mayor of Suwon City, he started a campaign 

to improve toilets. He contributed to the improvement of 

the Korean toilet culture movement.

  Sim Jae-duck or Mr. Toilet destroyed his house where he lived for 30 years,

and built this gigantic toilet bowl-shaped house that he could actually live in it.

It's constructed on 1,994.00m2 land with a building size of 239.09m2 and a total floor area of 418.17m2. The museum’s rooftop is shaped like a toilet seat, lined with flags from some of the 66 member nations of the WTA.

 

potties and unsanitary toilet facilities...

Fun time pooping

How to use those weird shape (toilet) bowl hah?

Hello... what's going on here?

"Oink oink oink... palli come here, we got food to eat"

Slow Walk in Jeonju Slow City (I)

Can't help falling in love with this gem of Korea! Preserving well its natural environment, this city is not only beautiful, but also the heart of Korean history, culture and art.

Ok, let's have a slow walk to this classic and lovely city~!

Some beautiful architectural structures in Jeonju:
  

  Jeondong Catholic Cathedral is one of the most beautiful
and oldest Western style building in Korea.

Jeondong church has unique combination of 

Byzantine and Romanesque architectural styles.

 The rectangular building is topped with three Byzantine bell towers 

(to the right, center, and left) and boasts arched ceilings, 

several of which meet in the form of a cross.

 

Charming church in beautiful night.

Pretending that I'm the proud owner of the house :P
(Edited this photo of me wearing Fusion Hanbok
to match the background of this elegant Hanok house). 

What is this nice big wooden crate for? Storing things outside the house?

 Stone wall Hanok house with lower height.

 Modernised two-story Hanok.

Love this grand wide door with big door knocker.

 Octagonal Pavilion at Gingko Road.
