happyday

If you live in Seoul, you may have got lots of stress from work or relationship or anything else from the different of culture and life style

I’m wondering that how you remove the stress. Traveling, Meeting friends, Drinking or watching TV….

Whatever….if something makes you feel refreshment

In my case, I walk on the street

Fortunately, near the my company , there is very famous and historic street.

So I can easily approach there in lunch break

As you can see on the map, the street is called a JeongDongGil(red mark)

Walking on the street is good date course among the many couples

Because they can know each other through the conversation 

Atmosphere of street makes people emotional and meditative

And also, you can fill out your emotional or gain a knowledge If you visit Seoul Museum of art

In the museum , you can have an advise from the English coordinator (Every Thursday 4pm)

In the Jeongdong theatre which is in front of the museum, you can enjoy traditional Korean music and Dance

Many foreigners visit the theatre to share good Korean performance

If you head up to Canada embassy, you can find a cinema Jeongdong for private use NANTA performance 

In addition, If you are interested in Korea history, this street is the history

When you pass the Russia embassy, you can remind an Agwanpachon(Korean word)

[Korea royal refuge at the Russian legation also Korean called Agwan Pacheon is an event in Korean history that the Joseon Dynasty king Gojong and his crown prince refuge from the Gyeongbok Palace to the Russian legation in Seoul, in which they lived and controlled the Korean government for about one year from February 11, 1896 to February 20, 1897. This fleeing took place in secrecy, and was arranged by the Pro-Russian official Yi Beom-jin and others. This event, which was triggered in part by the king's fear of a coup d'état and his reaction to the murder of Empress Myeongseong, marked a shift in Joseon politics away from the pro-Japanese reform faction and toward to the conservative faction which had been aligned with the Queen. This led to the general repeal of the Gabo Reforms.Members of the old cabinet were killed or forced to flee, including Kim Hong-jip, Eo Yun-jung, and Yu Gil-jun. Pro-Russian and pro-American figures came to power, with Yi Beom-jin and Lee Wan-yong named to the new cabinet. Trade and resource concessions were granted to Russia, and to a lesser degree to other Western powers including the United States. The move and associated concessions were greeted with widespread outrage within Korea, led by the Independence Club. This reaction eventually spurred the king to return to Deoksugung after slightly more than a year at the Russian legation, and may have contributed to the declaration of the Korean Empire later in 1897..from wikipedia]
