Korean Culture Tour

Tym razem mieliśmy przyjemność wziąć udział we wspaniale zorganizowanej przez stocznię imprezie pod nazwą „Korean Culture Tour”. Wycieczka historycznymi śladami kultury koreańskiej zawiozła nas do Seon-nam-sa – kompleksu świątynnego i do skansenu Nag-an-eup-sung. Seon-nam-sa to typowe zgrupowanie buddyjskich świątyń – kilkanaście pagod, posągi Buddy, mnisi, potworna ulewa i błoto po kolana. Właściwe wrażenie zrobiło na nas dopiero Nag-an-eup-sung (pośrednio pewnie dlatego że już przestało padać jak tam dotarliśmy), bo okazało sięże nie jest to ttaki typowy skansen. Wyobraźcie sobie wioskę koreańską, w której czas zatrzymał się setki lat temu i około 100 rodzin żyje tam w niemalże niezmienionych warunkach. Szansa aby obejrzeć film historyczny na żywo. Napisałem niemalże, bo udało nam się dostrzec jednego Hyundaia, budkę telefoniczną i antene satelitarną na jednej chacie, ale te drobiazgi nie zburzyły ducha miejsca. Ciekawy pomysł na atrakcję turystyczną – coś innego niż muzeum – można dotknąć, pomacać i powąchać ;-) Więcej zdjęć.

Bugok Hawaii

Something about our trip to Bugok Hawaii. First of all – I would never expect to find Hawaii in the middle of Korean Peninsula, but it seems that the locals have developed the unique skills of imitation. In a fact it is a big and very nice leisure park, with all its beauties – flowers and plants, fountains, ponds and streams, sculptures and unique hideout places to enjoy chill-out time. The place is famous for its one of the best hot springs in South Korea. The temperature of the water is 78°C, high enough to softly boil an egg. Apart from eggs everybody can try the water healing and relaxing powers in various outdoor and indoor swimming pools. More Pictures.

Deokpo - the other side

Let's throw a different glance at our Deokpo - from the pier at the small, local fishing harbour.

Show me your tongue, say aa-h.

Warm welcome back!

Very warm welcome back to everybody! As warm as our last holiday on the most beautiful place on the Earth - Philippine island Boracay. First of all we would like to apologize for all of you waiting for such a long time for some news from us. It has been a busy time for me in office, and so not much time left to take care of our blog. But right now we are back for good, and trust me - we have lots to share with you. Of course our Easter Time trip to Boracay will go over the top first. We haven't been visiting many places so far, but among what we have seen Island of Boracay is for sure our personal favorite. If you would try to find a synonym for a paradise - you got it - it is Boracay - the true paradise on the Earth. The perfect tropical atmosphere with all its components - starting with amazing flora - palm trees of all kind you can imagine, followed by the most delicious food we have ever tried - variety of fish, sea food, meats, fresh vegetables and fruits and everything prepared in the best way to deliver excellent taste. And everything accompanied by the awesome weather highest temperatures regardless whether air or sea water. Just imagine… air temperature of 30-35ºC and sea water of 29ºC… Doesn’t it sound like paradise? And last but not least the Philippine people – friendly, helpful, open-minded, speaking fluent English, and oh God… gorgeous girls… If you are single guy – stay away, otherwise you will fall in love and stay there forever. I could enumerate many other things just to tell you how wonderful place it is, but now it is showtime – pictures. Well it should go without saying that we have hundreds of them and we tried to pick some favorites to show, so enjoy the Boracay Island and our diving adventure at Boracay’s reef.
On this occasion we would like to write some thanks to our new friends from Boracay – the friendly team of Villa Sunset – working hard to make our stay pleasant, and to Thomas – our buddy diver and instructor. We miss all of you guys, but we are already planning our next rip, so see you soon!
