Seoul for soul. Pt.4. Yonsei University

Annyeong~! ^-^
I have already posted an entry about Ewha Womans University (이화여자대학교), which was truly beautiful. However close to Ewha there is situated another well-know and great Korean University - Yonsei University. Yonsei is as beautiful as Ewha is, but it is even more bigger (the territory) - this is the real small town! Yonsei is more popular *and cheaper! lol* among foreign students. So if you are looking for some Korean language courses, i would recommend you to check the Yonsei University. ^-^ As the territory of the Yonsei is huge, I have got tired walking around it  *lol bad stamina~ not really, but i started to feel tired way faster during hot weather >-<`* But it is definitely worth seeing!

연세대학교 (Yonsei University) - is a private research university located in Seoul, South Korea. Established in 1885, it is one of the oldest universities in South Korea, and is widely regarded as the top private school in the country. In fact, many of South Korea's most influential politicians, lawyers, physicians, engineers, professors, and policy makers have graduated from Yonsei University.  As a tribute, the name 'Yonsei' was derived from the first syllables of the names of its two parent institutions, 'Yon; 연; 延' from Yonhi College and 'Sei; 세; 世' from Severance Union Medical College. (c) wikipedia

Oh, and right near the University there is a huge Severance hospital building, which is closely connected with Yonsei.
Anyway, let me show some photos I have made walking around Yonsei University. ~^-^

this is the entrance to Yonsei~

Seoul for soul. Part 3. Ewha Womans University

Hey, everyone~! ^^
Today I will continue showing some pictures from my trip to Korea, Seoul. My 3d day in Seoul I have spent with my friend, walking around Sinchon, visiting two Universities - Ewha Womans University and Yonsei University. For now, I am going to introduce Ewha Womans University.
As I have been living close to Ewha, I can say I went through it pretty much every day. It was the shortest way to subway station and I also liked shopping in this area (there are lots of clothes, shoes, accessories and cosmetic shops at the area near university).
What is Ewha Womans University?

 이화여자대학교 (Ewha Womans University) - is a private women's university in central Seoul. It is one of the city's largest institutions of higher learning and currently the world's largest female educational institute. It is one of the best-known universities in South Korea, also considered to be one of the top universities in Korea. Ewha was founded in 1886 by the American Methodist Episcopal missionary Mary F. Scranton. "Ewha" (이화) is a Sino-Korean term for "pear blossom". (c) wikipedia

Ewha Womans University is such a beautiful place, which is very popular among girls. No wonder! I wish i would be able to study at this place too. ^-^` On one photo you can see a museum. It is free to enter, but you cannot take picture there >< The museum is quite interesting, so if you are walking around Ewha, don`t miss the chance to visit it! ;p 

Oh, and I have seen the University at May. I think this is the best time to visit it, because of the full bloom of flowers. The scenery is just wonderful! Besides, the university festival is held during May too! It is open for everyone and you can even have a chance to see your favorite K-pop idols on it!!! >-<

Seoul for soul. Part 2. Gyeongbokgung

Hello~! ^^
Or, should I say, 안녕하세요~!!
Today, in the 2nd part of "Seoul to soul" series, I am going to show you beautiful and breathtaking Gyeongbokgung. This palace was the second place i have seen in Seoul after Insa-dong (click, if you want to see the famous street!). ~kkk I was so impressed with great and mighty buildings! And of course I can`t forget an amazing park and pond with fish in the palace area. ^-^
What is Gyeongbokgung?

Gyeongbokgung (경복궁), also known as Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace - is a royal palace located in northern Seoul, South Korea. First constructed in 1395, later burned and abandoned for almost three centuries, and then reconstructed in 1867, it was the main and largest palace of the Five Grand Palaces built by the Joseon Dynasty. The name means "Palace" [Gung  궁] "Greatly Blessed by Heaven" [Gyeongbok  경복]. (c)wikipedia

These is just some photos of the Gyeongbokgung, I have made. But it is enough to see the true beauty of the palace~! ^-^
