Final Week

During this week, I finished drafting the traditional and modern part of the book and started to research information about traditional dance, music, and food.

For traditional part, I added Chandukgung and Namsangol traditional village. By going on the Seoul bus city tour, I could visit more places. I also made new part called night culture of Seoul which include club answer, club volume and COEX.

After I got back to Busan, I started reasearching information and about traditional dance, music, food, and liquor. For example, traditional liquor is called Dongdongju. Dongdongju is a traditional liquor in Kyunggi province of Korea. It was named Dongdongju because the grains of boiled rice are floating on the drink's surface. I also tried some dongdongju and took pictures at restaurant in Insadong.

Also, I researched some recipes for Bulgogi, Kimchi, and Bibimbob.

For the next part, I introduced traditional music such as Samullori and Pansori and traditional dance called Buchechum. I researched internet and some relevant books. For example, Pansori is a traditional vocal music which the singer sings a long narrative story. Pan means the place where songs and performances take place. The music that is played on Pan is called Pansori.

Finally, I fisnished drafting the book. I added Seoul subway map in order to provide transportation information. On satureday, I went to publisher to make a copy.
