"Live" Sea food for dinner....

Few days back I was attaining Team dinner with my Korean team mates and As the blog title says, I guess you guys have already imagined the kind of thrilling experience I might have. We went to a famous Korean restaurant which serves "Live" Sea creatures (Yes better to use "Creature" word, as it includes I guess almost every living things of sea- Snails, Oyster, Crabs, Squid, Lobster and so on...) and cook them in-front of you. They bring a large bowl which contains all these creatures, I guess the only spice to this is some kind of Red Chilly powder and "Water". They start the fire and put the bowl on top of it. After few minutes, one waiter comes and cuts these creatures so that they mix/cook well. I must say, the waiter is pretty skillful, she is so good in pulling/picking meats from Oyster, Snails, Squid etc. and it was so fast...simply Amazing.. As I belong from a small town in India with a proximity to a big river, I'm quite comfortable/fa...

Weekend at Yeouido (Han River Cruise)

Yeouido is one of the Han River Cruise boarding points. It has a wonderful river side park (Yeouido Park or Han River Public Park) an ideal place to spend your weekend. How to reach (from Suwon through Subway)- Line 1 ( Suwon to Singil ) Change to Line 9 from Singil Line 9 ( Singil to Yeouinaru ) What I can do in Yeouido- Han River Cruise Yeouido Park- you can rent bicycles to roam around. 63 Building (Wax Museum, Aquarium and Food court) From Yeouinero subway station take Exit 3 , and you get the wonderful Yeouido Park in front of you. Apart from the Cruise and the River side Park, you will also find a golden color building (Building 63) within walking distance. It houses a Wax Museum, Aquarium and a good food court. To get the best out of your cruise, it is always good to have the cruise in the evening (probably you should take 7:30PM one). You get to see the best possible nature around the bank of the ri...

A day at Suwon World Cup Stadium

A nice, relaxing Sunday evening at Suwon World Cup Stadium (after a painful and irritating throat pain and a mild cold on Friday n Saturday). Watched a friendly match- Suwon Samsung Bluewings F.C. Vs. Japan based Urawa Red Diamonds . I guess I need not to mention, Suwon World Cup stadium , was one of the prime venues for World Cup 2002. It’s really amazing to watch the way Korean people cheer up their home team. Though there was a small bunch of supporter for the Japanese team as well. Unfortunately I was accompanied by a group of friends who were more interested in singing, having photo session and playing Antakshari (an Indian Musical Game) rather than what is going on in 90 mins . But I enjoyed their company very much :-) and it was a bit refreshing as both the sides failed to score any goal.   There were multiple attempts from both the sides, but finally they didn’t disturb the score line and kept it a perfect friendly match (no win-los...

An effort to find out Angling spots in Delhi & NCR

Angling is the 2 nd of my most preferable thing to do during holidays, the 1 st one is of course cooking, the most favorite pass time of mine. Though NCR, Delhi seems not like an ideal spot for fishing (thanks to the contribution from all of us, which probably incl udes me as well to kill Yamuna….which now shows her existence only with dirty chemically populated water….), but still I was hopeful and thought probably here and there may be some lake is present which is hidden from common usage/knowledge. I had 3 continues holidays to cover (including 1 st Jan, Saturday and Sunday) and wanted to find out some lake within 50KM radius from my place (Noida). This would let me to reach the place riding my bike and come back by the evening without the need to stay over night. Well, as obvious I did a bit Google and found out some scattered information. I guess we need some revamp in this sector (Travel/Treking in India ), we need some more helpful web s...
