TRAVELLIVE 09-2016
In a late afternoon in the early autumn, I’m standing at the balcony overlooking the playground of my apartment building. Children are excited to go outside after a heavy rain. Some boys are noisily fighting to catch a plastic ball. Under the shade of trees, my daughter and her friends are drawing strange images on the stone chairs with a pen of tree’s branch dripping with water. The space is noisy yet peaceful. Autumn comes and brings with it a lot of expectations such as milk flowers in every corner or green young rice for delicious dishes. Some people are complaining that their skin is getting drier despite cool weather. Children are eager to meet their friends after a long summer holiday, participate in outdoor activities on the weekend, or gather and make crazy things at one’s house while their parents are worried about their workload. Who will take care of the kids, take them to school, contact with teachers, help them with homework, and clean the messes they make? You see, whether or not autumn is wonderful depends on our mood. While reading this letter, perhaps, you are a bit busy preparing for a new business trip or getting tired of work. But spend a few minutes this autumn to take up some intriguing things, letting the autumn winds help you find out your own tranquility!

Bibimbap is one of the iconic<br />
symbols in Korean cuisine. A<br />
bowl of bibimbap often consists<br />
of at least 6 dishes including<br />
rice, eggs, vegetables, and meat.<br />
The vegetables can be sliced<br />
cucumber, carrots, spouts, and<br />
lettuce (optional). Fried or coated<br />
eggs with meat (usually beef)<br />
are chopped, making the dish<br />
more delicious. Red chili is an<br />
indispensable ingredient. You can<br />
also enjoy bibimbap with kimchi<br />
or add salmon, tuna, or octopus<br />
according to your tastes.<br />

STROLL IN THE ISLAND OF LOVE<br />
Well-known as the setting of the most romantic<br />
Korean movie “Winter Sonata” with scenes<br />
ancient almond trees in rows, Nami Island has<br />
been one of the hottest tourist destinations in<br />
this country for a long time. Prepare a light cardigan, a pair of<br />
boots, and a nice hat to explore the island.<br />
Stroll along small paths among the trees, meet some squirrels at<br />
the wild conservation area, and collect some maple leaves at the<br />
Baekpungmilwon garden. Visit Dodamsambong Park, breathe<br />
fresh air around the lake while watching the small wooden<br />
boats, or partake in an array of leisure activities such as bungee<br />
jumping and canoeing. All these experiences will put you at ease.<br />
Nami is not only an ideal place for lovers but an attractive<br />
destination for young visitors or families to go on picnic. If you<br />
don’t bring fast food and snacks, you can drop by the restaurants<br />
and beautiful cafä and enjoy delicious cuisine such as stir-fried<br />
boneless chicken with cabbage, potatoes, and carrots served with<br />
a spicy sauce, grilled pork, and stewed chicken with ginseng. The<br />
atmosphere of the hotels on the island is shaped by romantic<br />
decorations, especially Jeong Guan Ru, the hotel where the two<br />
main actors in "Winter Sonata" stayed when other hotels were<br />
full at peak season.<br />
