Throughout this journey to the Mongolia Gobi Desert – I had so many thankful and grateful moments. Let me conclude some of the experiences and share some thoughts here. Visiting a nomad family I had initially thought that the nomad families we are going to are by choices of our tour company. On the contrary,…
In this last leg of the journey, we went to the Bayanzag Flamming Cliff, and Baga Gazriin Chuluu Rock Formations area, before finally returning Ulaanbaatar for the last night.
Day 4 From our second stay, we woke up to icey path, and a nice sun overlooking the little hills. The houseman and houselady served us another round of lamb noodles before we went off on our way. I can still remember this, that bowl of noodles was so delicious! At the next town, we…
Mongolia and Gobi Desert had always been on my bucket list, perhaps from reading OneStep4Ward Mongolia posts way back, or just wanting to see the vast desert lands, or wanting to feel the freedom of horse galloping like what once “My Fair Princess” had portrayed when I was younger. The ger camps, local shamanism, custom…
Day 11 – Suwon Fortress and Korean Cultural Village This was one of my most anticipated day trip to Suwon and the Korean Cultural Village. And also finally getting to dig in the Korean Fried Chicken experience (which didn’t turn out too well) Suwon Hwaeseong Fortress 수원 화성 First began with the train trip to…

Next up, Jeonju Hanok Village! Headed there from Gwangju, I had a one night stay in the village of traditional structure and immersed into the old cultural feels! Along the way, was all about indulging in food, people watching, and randomly hopping into open museum and such.
In the city of Gwangju, I hadn’t much sightseeing to do, but only included a visit to Songjeong market, some watching-out for architecture along the way. My main focus was actually on the 5.18 Gwangju Uprising event. Additionally, on my trip so far, I had gotten 2 similar recommendation when I spoke to travellers or…
Heading to Gwangju next, again I was there for about 1.5 days – a really short stay. Gwangju is pretty small, but I found out more things to do after I was there so, regretted the really short stay. Part of my reason for visiting Gwangju was the day trip to Damyang, to take a…
