We stumbled upon the Korea’s Tea Museum after seeing a sign at the turnoff to our intended destination–the Boseong Tea Plantation. Happy accidents like this make travel unpredictable and sometimes ends up being the highlight of the day. We walked into the museum not knowing what to expect. We didn’t know if the exhibits would have English translations or if we’d spend a few walking around looking at pretty pictures.

Holiday Celebrations: Boseong Annual Light Festival
We ended up parking along the railing at a overlook of the valley below. Steven pulled behind the last car, making sure to put enough distance behind it and us to maneuver out when it was time to go. He looked back and said there wasn’t enough room for more than one car to fit in behind us. And we settled in for an hour to wait for the sun to go down.
A Day Trip to Boseong Tea Plantation and Museum
There aren’t any rides at this theme park, and you’ll enjoy it on your own speed. The only thrill you’ll receive is the thrill of accomplishment after climbing to the top of the mountain and enjoying the view of the entire plantation.

If it doesn’t look, taste or smell right, don’t eat it. Just so you know, we never got sick and we ate everything, so go for it…
Eating Pizza Like a local with a Knife and Fork in Germany
Every country has its quirks, peculiarities, social etiquette that contributes to its overall culture. Some are reasonable, some from an outsider’s perspective, can seem odd. But it’s adopting these habits into daily life, even if only temporarily, that make living abroad fun, rewarding and unpredictable. Some, like eating pizza with a fork, is just eating like a local.
Patong Beach: Nightlife, Lady Boys and Street Food in Phuket Thailand
Don’t take anybody’s word for it. Patong Beach is a lot of good-natured fun. I booked my plane tickets three months before my hotel. And I changed the reservation after reading more about the location of the various beaches and proximity to nightlife. We decided we wanted to be within walking distance of a lot…
Tteokguk Soup and the Korean New Year Festival
But after a few words and pointing to the intercom they understood my question. But they just kept saying tteokduk. Then one of them made an eating gesture, something about traditional and asked me to follow him. So I did.
