Introduction If you follow National Road No. 15 up from the Bamboo Museum, you'll come across a beaituful and exotic boulevard that looks like it is came straight out of a fairytale. This unearthly place is the Metasequoia-lined Road. Matasequoia trees were planted along the street in the early 1970s when the Ministry of Internal Affairs officially designated the road as a "boulevard." At that time, the saplings were only 3 to 4 years old and their branches stretched sparsely out into the sky; now, the trees have grown so high that they seem to block out the sun! Thanks to these stately trees, in 2002 the Korea Forest Service selected the boulevard as one of the most beautiful roads in Korea. The 4 kilometer-long boulevard is located along National Road No. 24 and is one of the most popular driving routes in Korea, especially during summer when the trees' lush green leaves are at their height of beauty. Feel free to stop your car along the roadside to take a ...

Introduction Miyeok guk  is a Korean soup made from the sea vegetable known as wakame or "seaweed" in English. It comprises two words: miyeok , the Korean word for wakame; and guk , meaning 'soup'. Miyeok guk  is typically consumed by women after giving birth as wakame contains a high content of calcium and iodine, nutrients that are important for nursing mothers. Many women consume it during the pregnancy phase as well. It is also traditionally eaten on birthdays for this reason, a reminder of the first food that the mother has eaten and passed on to her newborn through her milk, thus bringing good fortune for the rest of the year. Because it is known as a highly nutritious soup, it is widely consumed in homes and restaurants in Korea. There are various methods of making miyeok guk , but it is usually made by soaking dried wakame in water until it softens and adding the seaweed in soup stock. The stock may be made from beef and/or seafood such as mussels, clams...
