Visiting Taeyong & Imjingak

Hey everyone <3 :D

This is now my second post about my time in korea! I hope you liked the first one. :) When you haven't read it yet, then please do it. Haha. Here you can find it!

CAUTION: Picture heavy post!!!

Today I wanted to share some photos about my tiny trip which I made with my friend Gayoung and her parents. It was really hot on that day, but we made a full-day trip to her brother, who is in the korean military at the moment, to 임진각 (Imjingak) and to her grandparents. Like everyday I had awesome food, but I felt a bit shy when we were at the army. To be the only foreigner it felt somewhat strange. However! :D The trip was very interesting. I learned a lot about the korean history and the military rules.

Here are now some impressions of my trip:


First Impression of Incheon in the morning.

We haven't had breakfast so Gayoungs mother bought some 김밥 (Kimbap) for all of us. I had one with tuna and the woman from the shop were very nice, cause I couldn't decide what I want to eat. They had too many options  xD

Sightseeing platform in 임진각 (Imjingak)

The memorial sign 기념비 (Kimnyeombi)

Me in front of it.. >_> I was too white...

Yummy! 팥빙수 (Pat-Bingsu *_*)

The coffee we visited had the name "A walk in the clouds".
It was cute and a lot of tourist were there xD

평화의 종

Gayoung and me in front of it. ^_^

In front of the Imjingak sign

Like a real tourist! *haha* Taking photos of everything^^

On the way to Gayoungs brother. "Say hi! ^o^"

Our food what we bought for Gayoungs brother. Chicken!! *_* You have to know, that I'm really chicken addicted! I can eat chicken everytime and everywhere.. hahahahaha

We took the pictures above, as we were having fun in the time we visited Gayoungs brother.
We had done more "stupid" pictures but thats just for family and my friends. ¬_¬'

When we arrived I had to tell one of the military guys that we want to see him. He didn't understood at all and I was kind of helpless^^; After that he came with one of the higher ranked military guys and had to laugh, cause he was so embarassed that I was there xD SO CUTE TAEYONG! haha 
After visiting Gayoungs brother we went to visit her grandparents and her aunt. WOW! I never felt so frightened before that I make a mistake! ^^; But all family member I got to know are very kind and very understanding that I couldn't speak well korean..(I'm trying hard to study a lot!!) Gayoung showed them her "Dirndl" and they liked it so much, that we took "family" pictures together.. haha 
That awesome trip endet with a huge family dinner with traditional korean food! *_*

Here's the whole menue we had! Too much but very delicious.

도토리 묵 그리고 김치 (Dotori Muk and Kimchi) nomnom...

There were a lot of 김치 그리고 열무김치 (Kimchi and Yeolmu-Kimchi)

The dessert was 송편 (songpyeon).
It had an interesting flavour but I don't think it will be one of my favourites! ;)

So this was it..my 2. Korea post (pic overload and a lot of food porn.. haha). When you do have some questions, then you can ask me! (: The next posts will be also Korea related^_^; I have to much to write about my experiences there.
