You will meet nice staff that will give you information about their program, and also they will provide you immigration card. Next step is to go to immigration place, go down to first floor to f...

I made a poster related to the Seoul Kimchi Making and Sharing Festival 2014. The photo that I used originally taken from english.seoul.go.kr. The reason I used that photo because it represents the main activity about the Festival and it shows that a lot of people joined as the participants of Kimchi Sharing and Making Festival.

Hey guys, I upload this video to participate in Seoul Our Movie and to accomplish the third mission as Global Seoul Mate. This video was taken in Seoul when I visited Seoul. This video is about the ceremony of changing the Royal Guards in Gyeongbokgung Palace, that I made them short from around 10 mins to 3 mins. I saw the uniformity and beauty from this ceremony (you can see from the uniform that they used), also to represent the heart of Seoul. Theme: Made in Seoul Link of the Video: Royal Guards in Seoul Information about Gyeongbok Palace: Gyeongbokgung was the first royal palace built by the Joseon Dynasty, three years after the Joseon Dynasty was founded in 1395. It was built by King Taejo, the first king and the founder of the Joseon Dynasty at the heart of newly appointed capital of Seoul and represented the sovereignty of the Joseon Dynasty.Cheers,Faramitha

I Like Moonlight Rainbow Fountain in Banpo Bridge because it shows us the beautiful rainbow colour at night. We can enjoy the scenery of Seoul city at night as the background together with Banpo Bridge. First Mission for Global Seoul-Mate in 2013 By: Xiaofen INFORMATION: The Banpo Bridge (반포대교) is a major bridge in downtown Seoul over the Han River, South Korea, connecting the Seocho and Yongsan districts. The Banpo Bridge is on top of Jamsu Bridge, forming a "double deck" bridge. During periods of high rainfall, the Jamsu Bridge is designed to submerge as the water level of the river rises, as the lower deck lies close to the waterline. This deck incorporates pedestrian and bicycle paths that provide easy access to the Banpo Hangang Park from the north side of the river. Banpo Bridge is a girder bridge and was completed in 1982. The Moonlight Rainbow Fountain (달빛무지개 분수) is the world's longest bridge fountain that set a Guinness World Record with nearly 10,0...
