Assalamualaikum
🔵Selepas selesai melawat Yongyeon Pond dan Yongduam Rock, Mr. Lucas membawa kami ke destinasi seterusnya iaitu ke Dongmun Market.
🔵As usual, while on the way from one place to another, we would continue to capture the street views.
🔹The photo below is a street view of a commercial area with several small businesses.
🔹The storefronts are mostly in Korean, with visible phone numbers and business names, including "탄탄종합방수" (Tantan General Waterproofing) which suggests a construction or repair service specializing in waterproofing.
🔹Other signs indicate services like interior and exterior construction, remodeling, and potentially a restaurant named "옛맛식" (Old Taste Meal). There's also a mention of "만장일지 포닭" (Manjanggilji Podak), which could be another eatery or pub.
🔹The street has a checkered tile pattern and is lined with trees, giving it a somewhat urban yet natural feel.
🔹A wooden planter filled with flowers sits in the foreground, adding a touch of greenery.
🔹The overall ambiance suggests a local, possibly tourist-oriented, area with a mix of services and dining options. The presence of multiple businesses in a relatively small area indicates a bustling, active environment.
🔵Dari interaksi kami dengan Mr. Lucas (our tour guide in Jeju Island), dia perasan yang kami ini sukakan fakta-fakta sejarah tempat-tempat yang dilawati. Makanya Mr. Lucas sengaja melalui jalan ini kerana ingin menunjukkan pada kami dinding kota lama bersejarah ini.
🔵Ini ialah tembok/dinding batu pertahanan Jejumok Gwana selepas dilakukan penggalian dan pemulihan/pembinaan semula.
🔹Jejumok Gwana (Pejabat Kerajaan Jeju-mok) ialah tapak bersejarah di Bandar Jeju City, Korea, yang berfungsi sebagai pusat pentadbiran Pulau Jeju dari zaman Tamnaguk hingga Dinasti Joseon (1392-1910).
🔹Ia adalah pejabat kerajaan wilayah, atau "gwana," yang penting untuk aktiviti politik, pentadbiran dan kebudayaan di pulau itu. Tapak ini telah ditetapkan sebagai tapak bersejarah negara pada tahun 1993.
🔹Kepentingan Sejarah: Di kompleks bersejarah ini terdapat sepuluh bangunan-bangunan tradisional Korea, yang merangkumi bangunan dan kediaman rasmi dengan beberapa daripadanya telah dipulihkan pada masa lalu selepas rosak. Antara bangunan-bangunan penting bersejarah itu adalah Honghwagak, Yeonhuigak, Uyeondang, Gyullimdang dan Yeongjuhyeopdang.
🔹Restorasi: Selepas penggalian arkeologi, beberapa bangunan telah dipulihkan, termasuk Honghwagak, Yeonhuigak, dan Oedaemun Gate.
🔹Lokasi: Pejabat kerajaan ini terletak berhampiran Gwandeokjeong Hall, yang juga merupakan tapak bersejarah.
🔹Hari Kini: Bangunan yang dipulihkan menawarkan gambaran sekilas tentang masa lalu Pulau Jeju dan mempamerkan seni bina tradisional Korea.
🔹Pemusnahan dan Pembinaan Semula: Sebahagian besar struktur asal Jejumok Gwana telah musnah dalam kebakaran pada tahun 1434, diikuti dengan usaha pembinaan semula.
🔹Kemusnahan selanjutnya berlaku semasa Zaman Penjajahan Jepun (1910-1945), yang membawa kepada pembinaan semula kompleks ini pada tahun 2002.
🔹Penggalian Arkeologi: Penggalian arkeologi, bermula pada tahun 1991, membantu memulihkan tapak dan mengenal pasti lokasi dan saiz bangunan utama seperti Dongheon dan Naea.
🔹Penetapan sebagai Tapak Bersejarah Negara: Kawasan Jejumok Gwana secara rasmi ditetapkan sebagai Tapak Bersejarah No. 380 pada tahun 1993, mengiktiraf kepentingan sejarahnya.
🔹Prinsip Pungsu: Susun atur Jejumok Gwana mencerminkan Pungsu Principles, versi Feng Shui Korea, yang menekankan keharmonian dengan alam semula jadi dan alam sekitar.
🔹Acara Kebudayaan: Pengunjung boleh mengalami budaya tradisional Korea melalui acara dan aktiviti di Jejumok Gwana, seperti sambutan Lunar New Year.
🔹Kompleks Jejumok Gwana ini adalah luas, merangkumi kawasan seluas 22,391 meter persegi.
🔹Batu-batu hitam gunung berapi digunakan untuk membina tembok ini.
🔵Kami pun tiba di tempat parking. Dari bangunan parking ini kami berjalan kaki ke Dongmun Market.
🔵Ini salah satu pintu gerbang masuk ke Dongmun Market.
🔵Dongmun Market di Bandar Jeju, Korea Selatan, adalah pasar tradisional yang sibuk yang terkenal dengan penawarannya yang pelbagai dan merupakan pasar kekal terbesar dan tertua di pulau itu.
🔵Ia merupakan destinasi popular untuk penduduk tempatan dan pelancong, menawarkan gabungan pengalaman membeli-belah dan menjamu selera.
🔹Sejarah: Ditubuhkan pada tahun 1945 selepas berakhirnya zaman penjajahan Jepun, dan telah dibina semula di lokasi semasa selepas kebakaran pada tahun 1954. Pasar ini telah menjadi hab untuk aktiviti komersial di Pulau Jeju.
🔹Kepelbagaian: Menjual pelbagai jenis barangan, termasuk makanan laut segar, hasil bumi, pakaian, cenderamata dan produk khas tempatan seperti teh omija dan mandarin hallabong.
🔹Syurga Makanan: Menawarkan pelbagai pilihan masakan tradisional Jeju, termasuk daging babi hitam, makanan laut segar dan makanan ringan tempatan.
🔹Pasar Malam Dongmun: Menampilkan vendor gaya trak makanan, menambah suasana meriah pasar ini.

🔹Pengalaman Tempatan: Menawarkan gambaran sekilas tentang kehidupan seharian di Pulau Jeju dan merupakan tempat yang bagus untuk mengalami rasa produk-produk tempatan.
🔹Harga Murah: Terkenal kerana menawarkan pelbagai barangan pada harga yang kompetitif, menjadikannya destinasi popular untuk pembeli yang suka tawar menawar.
🔵Salah satu produk yang dijual di kedai ini adalah tangerines.
🔵Tangerine Pulau Jeju sememangnya dieksport, dengan Rusia menjadi pengimport utama.
🔵Malah, Rusia telah menjadi pembeli terbesar tangerin Jeju selama beberapa tahun, mengimport lebih separuh daripada jumlah eksport.
🔵Penurunan mendadak dalam import sitrus dari China ke Rusia, disebabkan oleh isu kuarantin, telah menyebabkan peningkatan permintaan untuk tangerin Jeju dalam pasaran itu.
🔹Penguasaan Rusia: Rusia secara konsisten mengimport sebahagian besar eksport sitrus Jeju, selalunya melebihi 50% daripada jumlah keseluruhan.
🔹Larangan Citrus China: Larangan Rusia terhadap import sitrus China, yang dicetuskan oleh pemeriksaan kuarantin mencari perosak, telah mewujudkan peluang untuk tangerin Jeju mengisi jurang.
🔹Jarak dan Kesegaran: Kedekatan Rusia dengan Pulau Jeju membolehkan penghantaran lebih cepat, membantu mengekalkan kesegaran dan rasa tangerin.
🔹Kualiti Tinggi dan Keutamaan Keselamatan: Rusia semakin mengutamakan sitrus Jeju segar dan tinggi gula berbanding sitrus Cina kerana kebimbangan keselamatan tentang sisa racun perosak.
🔹Destinasi Eksport Lain: Walaupun Rusia merupakan pengimport utama, tangerin Jeju juga dieksport ke negara lain, termasuk Kanada dan Amerika Syarikat.
🔹Inisiatif Eksport: Korea Citrus Export Corporation (KCEC), yang ditubuhkan pada 2021, menyasarkan untuk mempromosikan eksport tangerine Jeju dengan meningkatkan kualiti produk dan mengembangkan pemasaran luar negara.
🔵Kedai itu juga menjual makanan ringan dan makanan tempatan yang lain, seperti gwajeul (biskut manis yang diperbuat daripada beras dan oren mandarin) dan jajan berperisa kacang.
🔵Terdapat bungkusan produk-produk dengan teks "제주감귤" yang bermaksud "Jeju tangerine".
🔹Beberapa kotak dan bungkusan tangerin disusun, ada yang dilonggok dan ada yang telah siap dibungkus dalam beg plastik.

🔹Bungkusan mi segera, berlabel "문딱라면" (Muntak Ramen) pun ada.

🔹Some of the bottles are individually packaged in boxes, while others are displayed openly.
🔹This photo shows a display shelf filled with various packaged snacks, predominantly Korean treats.
🔹The snacks are arranged in stacks and rows, showcasing a variety of colors and packaging designs. Several boxes feature Korean text and illustrations.
🔹The snacks appear to be a mix of cookies, candies, and traditional Korean sweets, with some packaged in clear plastic bags and others in cardboard boxes.
🔵Dongmun Market ialah pasar berbumbung, dengan siling tinggi. Jadi suasana di dalamnya selesa dan nyaman.
🔵Terdapat lebih dari 1,000 buah kedai di dalam Dongmun Market ini.
🔵Mempunyai lebih 1,000 kedai di pasar seperti Dongmun Market boleh dilihat sebagai satu cabaran dan juga peluang.
🔵Walaupun ia menyediakan pelbagai jenis barangan dan pengalaman, ia juga boleh mengemukakan isu logistik dan pengurusan.
🔹Kepelbagaian dan Pilihan: Sebilangan besar kedai di pasar ini menawarkan pelanggan pelbagai pilihan barangan, daripada makanan dan makanan ringan kepada pakaian dan cenderamata, menjadikannya tempat yang bagus untuk membeli-belah dan mengalami kehidupan tempatan.

🔹Peluang Ekonomi: Pasar juga mewujudkan banyak peluang pekerjaan dan menyumbang kepada keseluruhan aktiviti ekonomi di rantau ini.
🔵Mengendali jumlah kedai yang begitu banyak seperti di Dongmun Market, atau di Jeju Traditional 5-day Market, boleh menjadi cabaran kerana beberapa faktor. Ini termasuk menguruskan jumlah vendor dan urus niaga yang tinggi, memastikan ruang yang mencukupi untuk semua orang, dan berpotensi mengurus kemasukan pelanggan, terutamanya pada hari-hari yang sibuk.
🔵Dengan bilangan vendor yang besar, mungkin lebih sukar untuk mengekalkan standard kualiti yang konsisten merentas semua barangan yang ditawarkan. Memastikan vendor mematuhi peraturan, menyediakan amalan perdagangan yang adil dan berpotensi menguruskan pertikaian boleh menjadi mencabar.
🔵Menguruskan sejumlah besar vendor memerlukan perancangan dan organisasi yang cekap. Memastikan semua orang mempunyai ruang yang adil untuk menyediakan gerai mereka, mengurus aliran trafik dan menyediakan infrastruktur yang diperlukan (mis., salur keluar kuasa) boleh menjadi rumit.
🔵Baskets of dried fish, specifically sole.

🔵Fresh clams, oysters, octopuses, sea pineapples and red scallop shells.
🔵The photo shows how the seafood is stored in baskets within a temperature-controlled tank to keep it fresh.
🔵This practice is common in markets and restaurants to maintain the freshness and quality of seafood before it is sold or cooked.
🔵This method of keeping seafood fresh involves maintaining a low temperature, typically near freezing, to slow down bacterial growth and enzymatic activity that cause spoilage.
🔵The water in the tank also helps to keep the seafood hydrated and prevents it from drying out.

🔵Restoran makan malam kami yang bernama Sanjimul Restaurant (산지물식당) terletak berhampiran sebuah taman awam di pinggir bandar Jeju City.
🔵Mr. Lucas beritahu Sanjimul Restaurant adalah sebuah restoran yang cuma menghidangkan Kimchi, sayur-sayuran dan Seafood.
🔵Mr. Lucas tolong order untuk kami sebab menu dalam Bahasa Korea. Kami cuma beritahu nak nasi dengan lauk ikan dan vegetables.
🔵A casual dining experience.
🔵Our Korean seafood dinner.
🔵Hidangan utama adalah dua ikan bakar; satu mackerel di atas hot plate dan satu lagi red tilefish.
🔵Terdapat beberapa hidangan sampingan kecil, yang dikenali sebagai "banchan," termasuk kimchi, acar lobak dan sayur tumis.
🔵Juga ada nasi dan sup rumpai laut.
🔵And of course kami minta sudu dan garpu sebab tak reti pakai chopsticks 😄.
🔵Grilled mackerel (top left) and grill red tilefish (top right).
🔹Grilled mackerel is a popular dish in Jeju Island, Korea, known as "Godeungeogui" or "Godeungeo Gui". It's often served as a side dish, and in Jeju, it's particularly enjoyed with a glaze made of soy sauce, sesame oil, green peppers, green onions, garlic, and ginger juice.
🔹Grilled red tilefish, or Okdomgui (옥돔구이), is a popular dish on Jeju Island, known for its mild and superb taste. Red tilefish (Branchiostegus japonicus), or Okdom (옥돔), is a prized fish on Jeju, often considered the best of its kind. It's traditionally grilled after being salted and half-dried, and can be glazed with a seasoned chili paste before grilling.
🔵Japchae (bottom left) and kimchi (bottom right).
🔹Japchae is made with sweet potato starch noodles, stir-fried with vegetables and sometimes meat, and seasoned with soy sauce and sesame oil. The dish in the image appears to contain a variety of vegetables, including carrots, onions, spinach, and mushrooms.
🔹Kimchi is a staple in Korean cuisine and is known for its spicy and savory flavor. It is made through a fermentation process and can include various vegetables such as napa cabbage, radish, and scallions, along with seasonings like gochugaru (chili powder), garlic, ginger, and jeotgal (fermented seafood).
🔵These dishes, known as "banchan," are typically served alongside a main course in Korean cuisine.
🔹Bindae-tteok (top left)): Also known as Korean mung bean pancake, it is a savory, thick pancake made with ground mung beans, vegetables, and sometimes meat. It's a popular dish in Korean cuisine, particularly during holidays.
🔹Braised tofu (top right): The banchan is tofu braised in spicy, red-pepper-based sauce, possibly gochujang. The tofu is cut into rectangular pieces and mixed with sliced onions, all coated in the vibrant red sauce.
🔹Braised Squid or Dried Fish (bottom left): The dish features pieces of squid or fish, possibly braised or stir-fried in a savory sauce, along with vegetables like carrots and green peppers.
🔹Miyeok-guk - Seaweed Soup (bottom right): This soup is light and broth-based, featuring seaweed as the main ingredient. It's a common Korean soup, often served as a side dish. Miyeok-guk is a popular dish often eaten on birthdays and by new mothers in Korea.
🔵Selepas dinner, maka selesai sudah program hari pertama kami di Pulau Jeju ini.
🔵Seterusnya Mr. Lucas drove kami ke hotel penginapan kami Benikea Hotel Jeju yang terletak agak jauh dari Jeju City.
🔵Tiba di Benikea Hotel Jeju, sebuah hotel 3 bintang.
🔵Pemandangan di depan hotel. Terasa angin begitu kuat dan suasananya sejuk kerana hotel ini dekat dengan laut.
🔵Checking-in.
🔵Lobi hotel.
🔵Bilik kami. Alhamdulillah, besar dan selesa.
🔵Penghawa dingin adalah central dan pada masa itu heater sedang dipasang kerana suhu rendah dan suasana sejuk.
🔵Tapi kami perlukan air-con, jadi tingkap dibuka dan suasana jadi nyaman. Tapi awal pagi tutup tingkat sebab kesejukkan 😄.
🔵Tuala mandi tidak disediakan. Cuma ada tuala kecil, the hand towel size, to be used as scrubbing towels. Kami tak tahu, makanya tiadalah kami bawa tuala dari rumah.
🔵Saya baca the towels there are tiny especially at smaller hotels and motels. It's 100% a Korean thing.
🔵But why la? Due to budget as they are more expensive to purchase and launder. Also because it's not a standard practice in their style of hospitality. Using small towels is more common in Korean culture.
🔵Historically, the widespread use of small, exfoliating towels (often called "Italy towels" or "scrubbing towels") in Korea is strongly linked to the historical prevalence of bathhouses (jjimjilbang) when many homes lacked indoor bathrooms.
🔵These towels were a crucial part of the scrubbing ritual performed in the bathhouses, and their popularity has continued even as private bathrooms have become more common.
Here's why:
🔹Historical Necessity: During the 1970s and 1980s, many Korean households didn't have proper showers or bathtubs, making bathhouses a regular fixture in the lives of many Koreans.
🔹The Scrubbing Ritual: Bathhouses were not just about cleanliness; they were also social gatherings where people would scrub each other down, often using the "Italy towel" to exfoliate the skin.
🔹Social Event: Visiting the bathhouse was a social event, and the scrubbing ritual was an important part of the experience.
🔹Persistence of Tradition: Even as more homes have incorporated bathrooms, the tradition of scrubbing with a towel, especially the "Italy towel," has persisted, likely due to its effectiveness in exfoliating and cleansing the skin.
🔹Modern Bathhouses: Modern bathhouses (jjimjilbang) have evolved to include various amenities, but the core ritual of scrubbing with a towel remains a significant part of the experience.
🔵Therefore, the use of small, exfoliating towels in Korea is rooted in the historical necessity of bathhouses when many Koreans lacked indoor bathrooms and the social tradition of scrubbing as part of their bathing ritual.
🔵Apa pulak bendanya ni?
🔹This is a Simplicity Descending Life Line, also known as a 간이완강기 in Korean.
🔹It is a safety device used for emergency evacuation from buildings, particularly during fires or other situations where stairs and elevators are inaccessible.
🔹The "15M" marking indicates that the length of the rope is 15 meters.
🔹This device provides a controlled descent, allowing individuals to safely lower themselves to the ground.
🔵Complete with step-by-step instructions.
To be continued.
