There are not many more places in Seoul that I have not been. However, once in a while there will be some "rare find" like Samcheongdong (삼청동, 三淸洞). Samcheongdong is hidden away at one quiet corner near Gyeongbokgung (경복궁, 景福宮). It is a place where art galleries, boutiques, shops, cafes and restaurants co-exist in perfect harmony. The evening atmosphere at Samcheongdong is, lack of a better word, fantastic and there are many beautiful spots along the street that are worth the effort you take to bring your camera along. Many of my photos taken at Samcheongdong didn't turn out well because of the low-light environment. If not, you would be able to see much more of this beautiful place. When I am starting to get tired of walking up and down Myeongdong, Samcheongdong is a welcome change.
Hi
ReplyDeleteI am a publisher of THE EAST; the only English newspaper, which is mainly focused on the East Asian information (at the beginning of every month, more than 12,000 free copies are distributed throughout the London area, particularly, where East Asian Networks are established).
I looked at your blog the other day and have been wondering if there would be any chance that we could publish some of your interesting articles on the paper.
We think some of your blog articles should be very helpful to the Westners who are interested in Asian Culture.
The East cannot afford to pay for your articles right now (as we are non-profitable organisation). However, if you wish, we can still offer you:
1. Advertising space
2. Link to THE EAST web site blog section
We look forward to hearing from you shortly.
Many thanks and kind regards,
Hyung Wook Lee
