E-Mart Wangsimni :: Day 08 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

From Mabongnim Halmeoni Tteokbokki, we go to Wangsimni Station to shopping in E-Mart. In 2007, we like to shopping for snack in E-Mart because it's cheaper. But the place is too far away from our hotel, so we have to go back bring this big box LOL~~

From Mabongnim Halmeoni Tteokbokki, this time we are using Sindang Station (from the restaurant, go out to the main road, and turn left. The station is right in front of you.

Sindang Station is green line, so you only need 2 stop to Wangsimni Station. (direction to Seongsu Line)



There's so many promotion in E-Mart, and we can try some product for free.

Jade Garden :: Day 04 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

After eating lunch at Lotteria near Sangbong Station, then we continue to Jade Garden.
To go to Jade Garden, you have to ride subway and stop at Gulbongsan Station.


Arrive at Gulbongsan Station, there's a shuttle bus to go to Jade Garden.


Free shuttle bus time from Gulbongsan Station to Jade Garden:
- 10:45
- 11:45
- 12:45
- 13:45
- 14:45
- 15:45
- 16:20

The shuttle bus is free. It took about 30 minutes to go to Jade Garden Entrance. The ticket entrance fee is KRW 8.500/pax.

Don't forget to remember the time to go back, never missed the shuttle bus or you have to ride taxi. And I think you need to wait for a while.

Jade Garden Natural Aburetum 제이드가든 수목원 created under the theme of "Small Europe in the Forest," is located near Jade Palace Golf Club on a plot of land measuring 160,000 square meters. The 24 distinctively-themed areas in the garden boast a total of 3,000 plant species including rhododendrons, maple trees, irises, and blueberry bushes as well as patches of thick, natural forests. The arboretum makes the most out of its natural valley topography and presents visitors with a mix of tidy gardens, graceful flowers, and an array of European-style architecture.

For the convenience of guests, Jade Garden operates a Tuscan-style visitor’s center where patrons can enjoy a simple snack or beverage and purchase souvenirs. Visitors may choose from three different walking courses (each 2 hours in length) around the arboretum and a gardening program is also available for aspiring gardeners.


Famous of film locations from:
- Movie "You Are My Pet (2011)"
- Drama "Love Rain (2012)"

- Drama "That Winter, the Wind Blows (2013)"

Open Time: 09:00-Sunset (18:00~19:30) (* Last admission is 1 hour before closing)

On Winter, the weather is really cold eventough there's no snow. Maybe because it's located near the north.

So you need to wear extra clothes if you want to go on winter. Even there's nothing we can see in here.

We meet some Indonesian Tourists in there.














There's a small cafe in the middle of the garden. We buy hot chocolate (KRW 4.500) because it's too cold. It's a pity, the staff is so rude. Maybe because it's too cold :D







After finished walking around, we decided to go back to Gulbongsan Station by free shuttle bus. The time is:

AK Suwon Station & Lotte Department Store Suwon Branch :: Day 03 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

Arrive at Suwon, we decided to visit the Lotte Department Store Suwon Branch, near Suwon Station. We plan to watch movie at Lotte Cinema. The new movie that interesting is The Passenger.

The Passenger

Passengers is a 2016 American science fiction adventure film directed by Morten Tyldum and written by Jon Spaihts. It stars Jennifer Lawrence, Chris Pratt, Michael Sheen, and Laurence Fishburne. The film tells about two people who wake up 90 years too soon from an induced hibernation on board a spaceship bound for a new planet.

Plot:
The starship Avalon is transporting over 5,000 colonists and crew in hibernation pods to the planet Homestead II, a journey taking 120 years. Thirty years into its journey, the ship encounters an asteroid belt, during which time the ship suffers a mechanical failure. The malfunction awakens one passenger, mechanical engineer Jim Preston (Chris Pratt), 90 years too early.

After a year of isolation, with no company except Arthur (Michael Sheen), an android bartender, Jim grows despondent and contemplates suicide. One day he notices Aurora Lane (Jennifer Lawrence) in her pod. Her video profile reveals she is a writer with a humorous personality. After struggling with the morality of manually reviving Aurora for companionship, he awakens her, claiming her pod malfunctioned like his. Jim makes Arthur promise not to tell Aurora why she really woke up. Aurora, devastated she may grow old and die before the ship reaches Homestead II, attempts a fruitless effort at re-entering hibernation, just as Jim tried. Eventually, she accepts her situation and begins writing a book about her experiences. Jim and Aurora grow closer.

Another year later, Jim unintentionally allows Arthur to reveal the truth to Aurora. She is distraught, alternately berating, shunning, and physically attacking Jim. Soon after, another pod failure awakens Gus (Laurence Fishburne), a Chief Deck Officer. The three discover multiple failures throughout the ship's systems. If not repaired, the ship will suffer critical failure. Gus attempts repairs with Jim and Aurora's help, while Aurora still blames Jim for stealing her life. Gus' body, physically damaged by his malfunctioning pod, begins to fail; medical tests in the Autodoc, an automated medical diagnostics and treatment pod, show that he has only hours to live. Before dying, Gus gives Jim and Aurora his ID badge to access secure areas and repair the ship.

Jim and Aurora discover a series of holes through the ship's hull from the asteroid collision two years earlier. The computer administering the fusion reactor that powers the ship has been damaged causing the ship's malfunctions. As the computer attempts to fix the multiple problems, it overloads in a cascade failure. Repair attempts lead to further reactor damage. Jim realizes that the reactor must be vented by opening the vent hatch from the ship's exterior. Aurora assists while admitting she is terrified of losing Jim and living on the ship alone. Aurora, from inside the ship, and Jim, outside, successfully vent the reactor. However, Jim's tether snaps and his damaged spacesuit loses oxygen. Aurora retrieves and resuscitates Jim in the Autodoc. Jim later learns that the Autodoc can be a makeshift hibernation pod for Aurora. With only one Autodoc, she realizes she would never see Jim again.

Eighty-eight years later, the ship's crew awaken shortly before arrival on Homestead II. They discover a small house amid lush vegetation on the ship's grand concourse area. Aurora's book reveals that she chose to stay awake with Jim and finish writing her story.

==============================================

Then we go back to our hotel. We said goodbye to my friend because tomorrow, he has to go back to work, and me & Vivi still continue our journey.
