Destination: Seoul National Science Museum / American Museum of Natural History
Near Changgyeonggung (palace) and somewhat hidden from view is the Seoul National Science Museum. Opened in 1990 after the National Science Museum moved to Daejeon, the museum is showing its age a bit but still has some life left in it. Outside are a couple larger...
Destination: Incheon Global Fair and Festival 2009, part 3
This third part is actually my second visit to the Incheon Global Fair and Festival – see part 1 and part 2 of my first visit. The Incheon Global Fair and Festival continues to impress, even on the second trip. Again it’s essentially impossible to see it...
Destination: Hwaseong Fortress, part 2 (Suwon, Gyeonggi-do, South Korea)
The first trip to Hwaseong Fortress was wonderful, but incomplete – my friend and I got sidetracked by the nearby markets. Although she wasn’t able to come for a second time, I had to go back and see more of the sights. Originally built from 1794-1796, the...
Destination: KAU Aerospace Museum (Goyang, South Korea)
North of Seoul, the KAU Aerospace Museum is a nice look at the progress made in airplanes and space vehicles. Since most of the museum is in Korean, come for the sights, not the descriptions. A recent JoongAng Daily story listed a few things to do north of...
Destination: Lake Park – boring name, beautiful scenery (Ilsan / Goyang, South Korea)
Hosu Park called me from Seoul to the not-too-distant corner of Ilsan, in the city of Goyang. I came to Ilsan before, but being cold and less green made it a little harder to appreciate. Now in its full splendor, I present a lot more green: A tower of flowers or a...
Destination: Incheon Global Fair and Festival 2009, part 2
Where we left off from part 1, the Incheon Global Fair and Festival continues to impress, but with the question of substance lingering in the back of my mind. The next stop was the Global City Pavilion, an exhibition from over 100 cities around the world: I’m...
Destination: Incheon Global Fair and Festival 2009, part 1
The city of Incheon has spent a very long time putting the Global Fair and Festival together, and it shows – an almost overwhelming mengarie of sight and sound, and far too much to see in one day. Take that as both a good thing and bad, since even with a full...
Destination: Eulwangni Beach (Incheon, South Korea)
Somewhat close, yet rather distant from the bustle of Seoul is Eulwangni Beach (을왕해수욕장) It can also be spelled Eurwangni, Ulwangni, or Eulwangri – the wonders of romanizing Korean into English. Although the beach is on Yeongjong Island, the same island as...
Destination: Seonyudo Park – plenty of nature on display (Seoul, South Korea)
If it’s been too long since you looked at the center of a sunflower, it’s time to get down to Seonyudo Park. Located in the middle of the Han River along one of its bridges, Seonyudo is a chance to see an ecologically-friendly side of Seoul. It takes a bit...
