Damyang (담양) - 22/12/09 ~ 23/12/09

ok. i know tt this is waaaaay overdue, but i'll just try to update so that i don't forget.. the scariest part is forgetting. don't u think so?
that's y blogs are useful in that aspect. they help u remember the best parts of your life.

so here goes.... Day 1 ~ 2 in Damyang...

stayed @ this pension called Myungawon in Damyang. found it off naver.. place was clean & the owner was v nice! they had a v cute dog as well. :) i THINK its name was sweet potato..but i can't really remember... haha.

the room!

it was pretty cool cause the owner told me that the bedding n all was stuffed with natural fibres such as pine to give us a more restful sleep!


dog in question 고구마? ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

went out to tour the place before it got dark!!! met this nice taxi driver who offered to bring us around for abt 50,000원 for the day. if i recall correctly..

on our way to the Metasequoia Road (메타세쿼이아 길), we passed by the dam.. n the scene was so picturesque that we just had to stop to take pictures!


look at the sky!!!!


i like the clouds!


check out the dam!

i'm really amazed at the tranquillity of the place. i guess its cause i'm used to the hustle & bustle of cities. such scenes seem too perfect to be real.


메타세퀴어아 길

for those who are interested, this was one of the filming sites for My Fair Lady (아가씨를 부탁해). ^^

next, we went to the Slow City in Damyang. we wanted to get down to walk around, but as it was getting dark soon, we decided to drive through instead.






the beautiful sunset...

next stop was 소쇄원










jieting trying to act scary..

the temperature drops by approx 8 deg when u're in the bamboo forest! so its cool during summer BUT freezing during winter! i think it'ld be cool to come during summer. esp since korea's summer's really hot!! we were feeling pretty cold then. haha. look at us all bundled up!



wanted to go to the bamboo forest, but sadly, there wasn't enough time as it got dark!!! >_< nvm, i'll save that for my next trip! ;)


we went to this really traditional place for dinner & everything was served out in bamboo plates!

damyang's famous for its bamboo rice & tteokgalbi. i forgot to take pictures of the bamboo rice though.. >_< it was really fragrant! ^^

it's a really nice place to visit.. n hopefully i'll get to go there in summer soon! ;)

more updates up soon!!! i hope! ;)
