Must try in Gyeongju- SSambab (쌈밥)

Here in Gyeongju, you definitely have to try the ssambab. Ssam means wrap and how do you do a yummy one?

It is very easy, just put whatever food or side dish that you like together , wrap it and eat it.
If you want to eat elegantly, remember not too put too many. 

So the method to do a yummy wrap is to do it in a way you like.
Just like mine, when I want to eat elegantly, I put a little of my favourite dish. But if I very hungry, I will make it to the point that my mouth is about to burst. That feeling shiOK ah

A visit to the Gyeongju National Museum

Do you know that Gyeongju is the capital city of Silla Kingdom? Over in this museum, there are exhibition divided into 4 parts for you to view the cultural history of Gyeongju district.
Initally, I though that these kidney beans looking pendants are just for protecting oneself from the evil spirit, but these are actually for fertility. According to the tour guide, the more the merrier ! So if you want kids, do check this out!


Though this is not the first time rock part. I initially thought it is these drawing are drawn by ancient people for fun or a way to showcase their art . However, our tour guide told us that this is actually a textbook teaching people things such as survival skills in the wild.

Finally, the wait is over and my frist famtour in Korea had started.

The first destination- Soomy Village (365 days of Festival)

Away from the bustling city, the Soomy Village is a great place to rejuvenate and at the same time, tons of fun and excitement.

7) Wine Tasting♥

We tried 2 types of wine, the dry and the sweet one! I personally love the dry wine:D A bottle of wine is around 15,000won.

However, my favourite will be their grape juice, no alcohol at all! I felt in love with it upon trying and end up becoming like an aunty ,getting it over and over again!

Beside those 2 kinds of wine, what surprise me is that they sells wild grape brandy(48,000won)!
