From Daegu we travelled to Yeoju and its take about 2 hours by a tour bus. Our groups consists of 13 peoples. In Yeoju, our destination will be at rural quite village Yeoju County, Gyeonggi-do. In the house there are many toys miniature all self-made by the owner. Our stop here will be cheese making and feeding the cows with milk session. A great experience in doing cheese in their workshop trained by one of their expertise ajomma ( aunty ). The farm produces various dairy products, including cheese, with fresh milk from the cows raised on the farm. The trainer ( ajomma ) put the white curd made from fresh milk into 80-degree Celsius water and used wooden paddles to knead the cheese. While kneading, salts are added into it in order to achieve a quality cheese. The cheese was reinserted into the hot water again and kneaded some more, so that the salt would permeate throughout the cheese . Feeding the cows session were another great feeling....wow! look hungry they are....haha. Weather : chilling cold -6 deg celcius ( February )

This Steam Locomotive at Jangdan Station of the Gyeongui Line-7 was left in DMZ during the Korean War. It has more than 1020 bullets holes and was registered cultural heritage in 2004. This location was the site of Jangdan Station that was constructed as the Gyeongui Line was opened. Before the Korean War. The area around the station was concentrated with financial cooperatives and shopping centers. The station was burnt down along with Steam Locomotive at Jangdan Station on the Gyeongui Line during the Korean War. Only the platform, cargo handling area, and portions of the rail remain today.

Doksanseong Fortress, where the original form of a mountain fortress built from the Three Kingdoms period to the Joseon Dynasty is well preserved, has value as a historical site where you can get a glimpse of the construction techniques of each period. In particular, it is evaluated as an important historical heritage site as the original form of the fortress wall from the Three Kingdoms period in the 6th and 7th centuries remains intact recently! Did you know that Doksanseong Fortress has recently been gaining attention as a trekking and sunset restaurant? When you walk along the Doksanseong Fortress Wall around sunset, the winding fortress wall, the lined-up hills, and the pastel-toned sunset behind them all come together to create a spectacular view!! Also, in spring when all kinds of spring flowers such as forsythia, azalea, and rhododendron are in full bloom, in summer when the lawns and trees are full of green, in fall when maple leaves fall and autumn flowers bloom between the lawns, and in winter when you can enjoy the early sunset between the bare tree branches.

Chodae-gil trail, a walking trail near the base of Bukhansan Mountan, in the northern part of Seoul (near the limits with Gyeonggi-do), was open to conmemorate the inauguration of the Modern History Memorial Hall (located few minutes away from the starting point of this trail). During the trail, visitors can visit the tombs of those who fought and built the basis that formed the current Korean Republic. The total lenght of this trail is around 1.3Km, but it also connects to the Seoul Trail, so those who’d like to hike longer can take that trail. #GiveThanks

This UNESCO world heritage site is about an hour and a half south of Seoul. I did this on my own. You can take the metro to Suwon station and then take a bus. Check with the tourist information office at Suwon station for details of the bus if you are confused.You need atleast half a day to do justice to this attraction. Entry ticket to the palace is 1,500 Korean won. There is a lot of walking and steep climbs, so be prepared. Don't miss the delicious dumplings sold in tiny restaurants in Suwon. On the way back I entered the food hall at Suwon station, a haven for yummy Korean food. #GiveThanks
