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. And the next schedule is 19:50. So we decided to eat first. We eat Nolbo Budae Jjigae at AK Suwon Station. It's delicious.




Then to spend time, we go to Lotte Department Store Sky Park. The scene is beautiful from up there. But it's very cold.




Then we go to Lotte Cinema. We can buy the ticket from the kiosk self service.


Fortunately, there's my friend who live in here, I don't know what is the ticket said. All in Korean. T___T

==============================================
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.

Explore Korean Folk Village 한국민속촌 (5/5) :: Day 03 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

It's time for lunch. We are starving. And we decided to go to Market Place. A lot of people eating already.

There's a lot of stall, from 1 to 6, and they sell different menu. You can choose the menu from the picture. Remember the number.




Then, you go to the cashier to order (located beside stall number 6).

For Korean, or if you have a card (I don't know what card), you can use the self order computer beside the cashier, and make payment using your card.

Tell the cashier, what to order, and they will give you queue number according the stall number. For example, mine is no 4 with queue number 4xxx.

Then we go seat, and waiting while aware with stall number 4. Until our number is appear in the screen, then we can go pick up our order in there by use our queue number sheet.

And let's eating.

After eating, bring back all the dirty plates to it's place. Don't leave it on the table.

Then we go explore Korean Folk Village again.

There's some play ground, a lot of people especially children try the game. And we also passed the frozen river.


We also enter Scholar's Hous. Here we can see all about Joseon Area. Just like when I watch Flying Six Dragon (2016) Korean Drama.

There's also workshop area, here you can try making Korea Traditional Game.

We walk along the river. Then we arrive at the east entrance of Amusement Park. And we decided to enter. We didn't buy the ticket to amusement park, so we can enter but we can't play the game. If you want to play the game, you have to buy ticket to play (there's each category, just see what you want to play).

We decided to looking for the snow sled area. And we have to  buy the ticket at snack factory stall. It cost KRW 3.500/entry.

Then we decided to back to Suwon by riding shuttle bus at 16:30.

On the way back, we passed some baby playground, and also another market village. There's a lot of restaurant in here. We started to get hungry again. My friend suggest us to eat pajeon and drink Makgeolli 막걸리.

Makgeolli(막걸리), also known as makkoliis a slightly sweet alcoholic beverage native to Korea. It is made from rice or wheat mixed with nuruk, a Korean fermentation starter. But, a bottle of Makgeoli is 1 Litre with KRW 8.000. I ask my friend, can he drink it half and more? Because, I'm not sure me and Vivi can drink a lot. And he said, it's better if we looking for another beverages. :D

So we decided to drink hot chocolate in this cafe.

Equestrian Feats - Korean Folk Village 한국민속촌 (4/5) :: Day 03 :: South Korea Winter Escape Trip 6-15 January 2017

The next performance is Equestrian Feats at 12:00. Equestrian Feats is also known as equestrian art because it employs splendid horse-riding techniques such as two swords on horseback, horseback archery, and horseback tumbling. The Equestrian Feats performance at KFV incorporates into its contemporary elaboration the dynamic techniques of the horseback tumbling such as horseback standing, backward riding, reverse riding, and sideways riding.

Also reenacting horseback bow shooting, horseback lance wielding, and horseback swordsmanship, which constitute the essence of Equestrian Feats, the performance demonstrates the spirit of a horse-riding people.


































Wow.. It's a great acrobatics. Especially when you ride a horse. They are great and we really enjoy the performance. Then we go to Market Place, to eat lunch.
