andong (the journey)

travel mates: lj, raymond, ling, gary, stewart, joyce & alex
date of travel:
duration: 5 days 4 nights
route: seoul -> andong -> seoul
accommodation:
  • kim's myungdong hostel, 1/5 we were being packed into the basement of the house, which offers almost no ventilation in the room, not even a window or an exhaust fan to duct out the hot air. it smells funny and it was very difficult to fall asleep while you are sweating on the bed. space in the room is very limited as well. i will never recommend this place to any of my fellow travelling friend
  • jirye artist's colony, 3/5 we had a great chat on the last night of our stay with the owner, whom is a very artistic poet with his name on several books. the location is very isolated and serene but there is limited things that you can explore in that area. 2 nights are definitely more than enough for the experience staying in an ancient architecture with some quality meditation hours. owner's daughter brought us for some berry plucking activities to keep us busy.
