Last month i and my friends went to a korean restaurant at Lotte Mall near my house. We planned to eat Budaejjigae or Spicy Sausage Stew. We know budaejjigae from Korean Veriety Show 'Running Man' and it makes us drooling while watching it. So, after watching it, i did a survey to the restaurant and the waitress told me that they sell budaejjigae. Budaejjigae consist of several ingredients such as ramen (instant noodle), sausage, kimchi, beef, tofu, Tteok (rice cake) and other vegetables stewed with spicy gravy. It also served with Banchan or side dishes such as kimchi, cucumber, omelette, potato, bean sprout, salad and etc.  Banchan (반찬) : Cucumber, salad, omelette Banchan (반찬) : Kimchi, potato, bean sprout, tuber Maybe because i can speak korean a little, we were served by the owner of the restaurant itself who really kind to us while explained the food *am i too confident? :p :p* and of course i'm happy to speak korean with her. So while all th...

At Korea Indonesia Week 2012 on Thursday 5th Oct, there was Korean Culture Performance at Balai Kartini, Jakarta. At this event, 4 different groups presented the traditional korean percussion and dance performances. They were Noreum Machi, Ha Yong-bu, EDx2 Dance Company and Last For One. Now, let's take a look at their performances! The first performance was Noreum Machi - The Traditional Korean Percussion group. Traditional Korean percussion group Noreum Machi is a highly original musical ensemble. Since its foundation in 1993 Noreum Machi has been trying to re-discover its traditional music that suits out time by communicating other kinds of music through the basic traditional Korean music without loosing its structure. The group takes its name from the term used by Korean minstrels to indicate a combination of skill and timing attained only by the best players.

How do to wear a Hanbok? Since last year, Korean Cultural Center Indonesia (KCCI) has always held a Hanbok Experienced twice a month. We are given an opportunity to wear Hanbok for about 15 minutes. And for 15 minutes we are allowed to take some pictures with the background provided there. And of course is free of charge XD Until now i've tried four times to wear hanbok with different colors. The designs are very unique, luxury, beautiful and sexy. I felt beautiful and comfortable while wearing it. The following step is a little explanation about its components and how to wear hanbok for women. 1. First, we will wear Sokchima (속치마) or white underskirt. 2. Second, we'll wear Chima (치마), a skirt with variety of colors, such as red, pink, blue and so on. 3. Third, we'll wear Jeogori (저고리) which is a short vest adorned with two long ribbons or Otgoreum (옷고름) tied. Have you feel beautiful? Let us take some pictures! With som...

Hello everyone! In this post i want to help you in memorizing the Korean Keyboard Layout. For those who are familiar with korean letters or Hangeul (한글) definitely want to be able to type Hangeul, right? Whether it is on PC Keyboard, notebook or mobile phone. So let me introduce you the Korean Keyboard Layout. The layout of Hangeul letters on the keyboard is not the same as the latin letters, for example the letter A button in latin mean the letter M (ㅁ) in hangeul as well as for the letter S in latin mean the letter N (ㄴ) in hangeul and so on. Then to type double letters like 'Double B' or 'Ssang Bieup' (ㅃ) in korean, press the 'Shift+Q' button. For those who already know how to write hangeul, and when you are able to type hangeul quickly will feel that in typing hangeul, your fingers will turn left-right-left-right-left-right and so on. If you look at its structure, the consonant letters are on the left side and the vowel letters are on the right sid...

But don't worry i'll make it shorter and this is my passion about korea..... The first time i knew about korea four years ago *actually it was late already when compared to my friends who have known korea since they were in junior high school* from korean drama "Full House".
