JAY's got special gifts!!

Hi I'm JAY the night manager of #TravelersPlanet.

I'm so happy to be at the office today.

Two guest teams left each gift for me!

First one is #GinsengWine of XIAOYAN couples!

They live near #ChangbaiMountain, #China .

Changbai Mountain is famous of Ginseng Wine around China they told me.

I haven't tasted yet. But will share at the gathering all staff on Sunday.

Thanks for the precious!!

Second one is #WondareeMacadamiaNuts from Foo family who drew the awesome picture of Korea and Australia tourism.

Honestly I met them just a couple of times.

But I gave them a postcard what I wrote.

They left small but touchable gift in return for my postcard when they checked out.

I really appreciate it.

And I'm so excited to be with our #thanksful guests all the time!

Real Korea! "Korean sentiments" Episode 3.‪한恨(Han‬-Resentment) [Hostel in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea]

Hello, guys!

A few days ago I read an article about '‪#‎Hwa_byung‬' which is a Korean mental illness which arises when people are unable to confront their anger as a result of conditions. 

The word hwa-byung is composed of "hwa" meaning "fire", "angry", 

and "byung" meaning "syndrome" or "illness". 

You might wonder why I'm talking about this depressed thing!

I'm telling you now why I did that shortly and the main topic "Han" right after.

Interestingly, Hwa-byung is known as a culture-bound syndrome.

The bound culture is "Han" what I'm going to tell you now.

‪Han‬ is a concept in ‪‎Koren culture‬ attributed as a unique Korean cultural trait.

Originally Korean is very cheerful and delightful people 

you could know through last week topic 'Heung'.

This pain sentiment has resulted from Korean long history of outside invasions and wars.

So if you want to know more about Korean Han trait, 

you need to learn Korean history properly.

I would recommend you "‪DMZ tour‬".

It will help well to show and understand you the most hurtful and recent history of Korea, the problems between North Korea and South Korea.

If you want to know the detail about tour, leave comment or message us.

I have written total 3 big Korean sentiments so far. 

They are the most fundamental and crucial parts to learn about Korea.

I hope I helped you some :)

Thank you for reading my stories of ‪‎Real Korea‬! 

I will come back with more interesting topic next week.

Keep well! See you soon <3

Weekend Cooking 59th at Travelers Planet Hostel[Hostel in Hongdae, Seoul, Korea]

We made " tteok guk” for our guests at Travelers Planet Hostel Common area which is 4th floor!!!

I think the real key to this soup is making a clear, delicious broth, which takes some care and attention to do. But overall this is a very easy recipe to make.

Often, Koreans add mandu (Korean dumplings) to tteokguk, in which case the soup is called tteok-manduguk. You can use any kind of mandu in the soup

Why don’t you make a resolution to try tteokguk on new year’s day, and let me know how it turns out :)

* Ingredient
- 600g white rice cake
- 300g beef (brisket·shank), 1.6kg (8 cups) water
- fragrant seasoning : 20g green onion, 10 g garlic
- seasoning sauce : 3g clear soy sauce, 1.1g (¼ tsp) minced green onion, 1.4g (¼ tsp) minced garlic, - 0.1g black pepper
- 6g (1 tsp) clear soy sauce, 6g (1½ tsp) salt
-20g green onion, 60g (1 ea) egg, 1g shred red pepper

* Ingredient preparation
1. Clean blood of beef with cotton cloths. Wash the fragrant seasoning cleanly.
2. Put the beef and water in the pot, heat it up for 7 min. on high heat. When it boils, lower the heat to medium, simmer it for 30 min. Add the fragrant seasoning, simmer it for another 30 min.
3. Shred the white rice cake 4cm-long, 0.2cm-thick diagonally.
4. Wash the green onion and cut it into 2cm-long lengthwise diagonally.
5. Pan-fry eggs for yellow/white garnish and cut into 2cm of diaper shape.
6. Cut the shred red pepper into 2cm-long.

* Recipe
1. Filter the simmered broth (1.4kg) through cotton cloths, rip up the beef along with the texture (160g).
2. Pour the broth in the pot, heat it up for 5 min. on high heat. When it boils, add the sliced rice cake, boil for 3 min. When the rice cake float on the surface, season with clear soy sauce and salt, add green onion, bring it to a boil once more.
3. Dip up the soup in a bowl, garnish with beef (80g), egg and shred red pepper.
