Postingan kali ini adalah sedikit tips dari saya yang baru sekali mersakan musim dingin di korea, yaitu awal-pertengahan bulan desember 2016, dengan suhu hingga mendekati 0 derajat celcius (tanpa salju, tapi ciusan dinginnya).

Pakaian tebal

Like seriously, orang torpis yang katro seperti saya dulu ga tau sedingin apakah musim dingin itu. Dengan asumsi pakaian berlapis yang biasa gue pake sehari-hari di Palembang/Jakarta/Bandung bisalah yaa. But that’s a no, NO. Baiknya kalian beli baju sweater yang emang beneran tebel produksi luar. Bagusnya lagi kalo kalian punya outer yang BENERan tebel untuk musim dingin. Gue ngerasain banget kalo baju tropis berlapis-lapis kalah nyaman sama baju dingin import dengan sedikit layer tapi kualitasnya oke (contoh, padded coat berlapiskan bulu angsa). Dikit tips, kalo merasa kemahalan beli baju musim dingin kaya’ gini, bisa beli yang second, asalkan pinter pilih-pilih biar ga terlalu kelihatan lusuhnya. :p

Hot pack

It’s susch a Korea Invation. Penyelamat di musim dingin. HARUS beli ini di convenience store. Murah kok, harganya sekitar 1.000 won, dan bisa dipakai hingga 12 jam (setelah habis khasiatnya, ga bisa dipake lagi). Ada yang panasnya punya tingkatan. Ada yang bisa ditempel di lapisan baju dalam, ada juga yang bisa di masukin ke kantong jaket buat di remes-remes sama tangan. Enak lhoo.. menghangatkan, ga bikin tangan kita beku, bisa juga digosok-gosok di deket perut biar anget.

Lipbalm

Tanpa disadari, bibir yang tidak dilapisi lipbalm, bakalan pecah parah sampai berdarah. Perih. Uuwwwuuuhhh… walaupun lo orang yang lebih suka bare-face, tapi lipbalm itu wajib! Harus sedia!

Hangatkan badan di dalam Toko

Satu trik lain, kalo lagi jalan-jalan di mana gitu, mampir lah ke dalam toko. Yah, lihat-lihat souvenir, atau duduk sambil nyeruput teh maupun kopi, untuk numpang menghangatkan badan di ruangan yang memiliki penghangat ruangan. Kalo ke taman-taman yang ada glass house nya sih lebih enak lagi, feels like home~ eh tapi, kadang, biasanya, toko ini penghangat ruangnya cukup hangat, sampe-sampe kita kadang harus buka jaket tebel kita.

Masker, sarung tangan, syal, pelembab wajah, air putih

Tips terakhir, bisa dibilang gado-gado (bukan makanan, tapi kiasan aja maksudnya..). Untungnya waktu itu gue selalu sedia masker di dalem tas. Sebenernya sih masker ini buat gue pake untuk menghalangi polusi udara saat naek angkot. Tapi karena lagi agak flu juga, jadinya gue pake. It really worthed untuk menghambat udara dingin yang terlalu menusuk hidung, sekaligus menghalangi udara dingin di area muka bagian bawah. Dan yang terpenting adalah, orang ga bakal tau kalo ingus lo meler-meler tanpa disadari saking dinginnnya udara karena muka lo mati rasa.

Sarung tangan dan syal, penting-ga penting, tapi bermanfaat juga sik untuk bantu menghangatkan jari-jemari agar tidak membeku dan menghangatkan leher biar adem.

Pelembab jangan sampai terlupakan! Gue emang bukan orang yang suka pake makeup. Enaknya musim dingin buat orang yang mukannya berminyak, muka tetap bersih. Tapi lama-kelamaan, muka bisa bersisik kekeringan.

Minum Air putih untuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh. Musim hujan aja kadang bikin kita males minum, karena ga ngerasa haus. Tapi kalo kurang minum, tubuh kita akan kekurangan cairan. Dan tanpa disadari, tenggorokan jadi ga enak, dan besoknya udah kena gejala flu. Jangan lupa minum yang cukup. Jangan takut kalo sering kerasa mau pipis, karena toilet di korea (apalagi di hotel) enak, karena bidetnya ada penghangat, jadi betah berama-lama duduk di kloset. Wkwkwkk.. oh ya, biasanya juga orang korea suka minum vitamin dalam bentuk botol kecil berisi cairan untuk meningkatkan daya tahan tubuh.

Sebagai bonus, kalo musim dingin itu, matahari lebih cepat terbenam (dan lebih lama terbit juga). Biasanya di beberapa tempat wisata, akan ada festival lampu-lampu gitu, seperti yang saya jumpai di Cheonggyecheon. Di Myeongdong juga sudah mulai meriah oleh lampu-lampu bertemakan Christmas.

Selamat berliburan musim dingin di Korea~

1. Tongin Market in Seoul (Oiled Tteok-bokki/ 기름떡볶이)

Tongin Market is a traditional market in Tongin-dong, Seoul. This market has its own currency which is Yeopjeon (Korean brass coin with a square cut out used during Joseon Dynasty) and you can exchange KRW with Yeopjeon in the market and use it as cash. I am sure you already know what Tteok-bokki is but you may not have heard of Oil Tteok-bokki which is a street food that represents Tongin Market. Imagine the deep fried Tteok-bokki with sweet and spicy sauce!

2. Bupyeong Kkangtong Market in Busan (Hotteok filled with seeds/ 씨앗호떡)

If you are a street food lover I highly recommend you to go to Bupyeong KKangtong Market because there is everything you are looking for. As soon as entering the market, you can smell all kinds of food that are good enough to convince people to open their wallet! One of the most beloved street food in Korea is, without doubt, Hotteok. However, Hotteok in Busan is a little bit special from others. Usually, Hotteok is filled with honey sauce but this beast-looking Hotteok in Busan is fully filled with various kinds of seeds that make it tastier and more crunch inside

3. Seomun Market in Daegu (Meat-Jeon/ 육전)

Are you a fan of Korean pancakes? You like Korean street food but you are looking for something more out of it? You are welcome to Seomun Market in Daegu to try crazy street food experience. This market has almost a hundred of food trucks in rows throughout Seomun Market. The food WOWKOREA wants to recommend from the market is a Korean pancake called Meat jeon(육전). This newly famous collaboration between meat and Korean pancake turned out really amazing that the number of people who are going out to have this street food is skyrocketing.

They said that first time is always a memorable for last. This is happening to me during my first Korea Trip on Autumn 2015. It became more special because I’ve never been in autumn season before. So, I specially take this vacation because I want to witness the wonderful autumn by the colorful plants.

There’re a lot of interesting experience I had on my travel in Korea in Autumn season. I’m so glad to have this chance, visiting many places, seeing new scenery. But, here are some of recommendation place to witnessing the colorful Autumn in Korea.

Traditional building at Buckchon Hanok Village.

You should never missed to see the traditional building, because it gives special and different vibe that you won’t find in other place. On autumn, the environment will be more dramatics. At that time, I go to Bukchon Hanok Village to see authentic traditional building, and surprised with plants that already change into ‘shepia’ mode, when most of the leaves turning brown. Enjoy your pleasuring time there, and immerse with the authentic environment, where you can’t find in another place besides Korea itself.

I think, visiting palace also can be another nice choice. Unfortunately I haven’t do that back then. I hope there will be a chance for me, and I’m waiting for that excitedly.

Nature at Nami Island.

This is the place that you should never missed to visit! Though autumn is the time when the plants turns weak by the lower temperature, but it’s a perfect chance to see so many colors of leave from the trees that preparing their-self to face those extreme weather. We also can see so many colors of autumn in here, Red leaves from maple trees, Yellow leaves from Ginko tree, and also light green to brown leaves from other trees. Most of those trees are placed in groups, so you should walk around the island to enjoy every different autmn scenery.

As an addition, you can also visit Namsan / N Seoul Tower to see natural autumn scenery, if you don’t have much time to going outside Seoul.

Campus at Ewha Womans University.

Idk why, I have an interest to did campus touring during my travel. So that, I won’t missed to visit one of campus that already well-known as one of beautiful campus, especially for architecture student. Yap, I recognize Ewha Womans University first time when I watch one of variety show, and gasped with one of their building. And I became more mesmerized when arrived there. Plants around modern building for student center started to change their colors, gives the beauty of campus landscape. Moreover, the old building surrounding that area, peek behind yellow-green big trees.

Another camus option you can visit is Yonsei University. Still same with ewha, they have old style (colonial) building with clorful plants for their landscape in autumn.

That's all some recommended place to witnessing colorful autumn in Korea from me. Enjoy your travel~!

Mengunjungi festival adalah satu kegiatan yang seru untuk dilakukan. Apalagi festival budaya, membuat kita jauh lebih mengenal hingga memahami tempat tersebut.

Begitu juga dengan Korea, ada satu festival besar yang diselenggarakan di bulan oktober. Berikut ulasan dari Wow Korea Supporters

Gimje Horizon(Jipyongsun) Festival 2018
Where You Can Enjoy the Best of Korea’s Autumn

Did you know that there are more than 260 festivals in October? That is why this month is called the month of festivals in Korea. The second week of October, there were, of course, various festivals held throughout Korea. Today, one of the biggest festivals in Korea will be introduced! It’s called the Gimje Horizon Festival! Even though this festival has ended on 9th of October, free entrance is available from 10th(Wed) to 15th(Mon) of October so if you have a time, I highly recommend you to visit there! With me, let’s have a look at what was happening during the festival!

The Great Earth Art, a painting on the rice fields is surely the mascot of the Gimje Horizon Festival. It's a wonderful painting that attracts a lot of people and keeps them interested in guessing the next year’s design since the festival comes with a different design on the rice field every year.

The reason why this festival is so famous is that it has a number of activities you can enjoy with people. As foreigners and locals can enjoy together, it gave the image of a global festival beyond Korea. There are so many activities if you look at pictures, aren’t there?

Unfortunately, this year's festival has already ended, but since there are many pretty photo zones, it would be great to go and enjoy it during the free viewing date. I hope you don't forget to take a picture with the giant pair of dragon statues because it is a must-have photo zone!

Information

Free entrance dates : October 10^th to 15^th

Address : 242-2 Sinyong-ri, Buryang-myeon, Gimje, Jeollabuk-do

Tip. 1

If you are a fan of BTS(방탄소년단), I highly recommend you go to go Saemanguem where one of the biggest hit music called ‘SAVE ME’ was filmed. A lot of BTS’s fanboys and girls visit here before or after going to Gimje Horizon Festival since both the places are conveniently located to visit. On the left side of the photo zone, there is a 50-inch big monitor that shows ‘SHOW ME’ whenever it senses a person in front of it.

Information

Address : Saemangeum-ro, Byeonsan-myeon, Buan, Jeollabuk-do

Hours : 9am to 5pm *Monday closed
