Autumn was starting already (Travelers Planet Hostel Guesthouse, Hongdae, Seoul, Korea)

Autumn is just around the corner. 

Even though until last weekend, it was hot even at night, 

I can feel cool breeze at the roof top garden of Travelers Planet. 

Actually, 22 August of last week was 2nd anniversary of Travelers Planet hostel. 

I am remembering one of the first time I was here.

At the first time, here was almost empty little awkwardly. 

This space has filled with all of you. 

Thank you to all for making this Travelers Planet together!

Happy Teacher's Day in South Korea (Traveler's Planet Hostel, Guesthouse in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea)

Hello! this is Johnny manager of Travelers Planet!

HAPPY TEACHER'S DAY!

Last week 8th of May was Parent's Day in South Korea

and it is "Teacher's Day" in Korea!

Today let's celebrate teachers and send kind love and respect to those who raised you up

as who you are now.

I found a quote about teacher by Confucius

"A true teacher is one who, keeping the past alive, is also ableto understand the present."

Teachers are our mentors, friends, etc. Not quite parents but still they raise us up to be a best person, and their lessons last a lifetime.

The date was chosen to commemorate the birth of Sejong the Great, the fourth king of Joseon-dynasty in Korea. Sejong supported literature and encouraged officials and scholars to study and King Sejong is also known for creating of korean language of hangul.
