In the house there are many toys miniature all self-made by the owner. Our stop here will be cheese making and feeding the cows with milk session. A great experience in doing cheese in their workshop trained by one of their expertise ajomma ( aunty ). The farm produces various dairy products, including cheese, with fresh milk from the cows raised on the farm. The trainer ( ajomma ) put the white curd made from fresh milk into 80-degree Celsius water and used wooden paddles to knead the cheese. While kneading, salts are added into it in order to achieve a quality cheese. The cheese was reinserted into the hot water again and kneaded some more, so that the salt would permeate throughout the cheese . Feeding the cows session were another great feeling....wow! look hungry they are....haha. Weather : chilling cold -6 deg celcius ( February )

And the staff who explained things were also very kind. You should definitely visit! However, advance reservations are required! #IlsanTravel #IlsanHotPlace

Chodae-gil trail, a walking trail near the base of Bukhansan Mountan, in the northern part of Seoul (near the limits with Gyeonggi-do), was open to conmemorate the inauguration of the Modern History Memorial Hall (located few minutes away from the starting point of this trail). During the trail, visitors can visit the tombs of those who fought and built the basis that formed the current Korean Republic. The total lenght of this trail is around 1.3Km, but it also connects to the Seoul Trail, so those who’d like to hike longer can take that trail. #GiveThanks

This UNESCO world heritage site is about an hour and a half south of Seoul. I did this on my own. You can take the metro to Suwon station and then take a bus.

#koreatrip Country alum feeling in 30 minutes in Seoul “Paju Jeonju alum” This is a well-established white bar restaurant that I entered as if attracted to a cute yellow sign while driving. The emotion that embraces the entire store is cute. The yellow signboard of Baekbanjip and the color of the corner teahouse that shows the perfect chemistry cannot be overlooked. It was a pity that the corner tea house did not open because of the 4th stage, but I am satisfied enough that I got a picture. The menu is a single item of 12,000 won per person. As it is an old restaurant, the interior design is not formidable. The moment the prize is set, the heart is already full. There is no special signature menu, so it's not as impactful as to say "Wow, this is it", but I ate a hearty meal. Satisfaction can be obtained enough. I like the pretty and trendy business establishments, and I like the long-established stores in Jongno, which are crowded with people, but if you miss a meal at a steamed long-established store full of the sounds of birds and insects instead of people, this is recommended!! A free cup of coffee after a meal is also a must-have! If you take a picture between the signboard at the corner teahouse and the flowers on the roadside, you can get an Instagram life shot with a different sensibility from taking a picture at the Hotple Cafe.!!! There is ample parking space, so you don't have to worry about parking. 📍Address : 36 Gisan-ro, Gwangtan-myeon, Paju-si, Gyeonggi-do 📍Open Hours: 08:30-20:30 📍Recommended menu: Jeonju-style white rice 12,000 won per person
