This peaceful activity offers a chance to slow down, relax your mind, and immerse yourself in Korean culture. I'll guide you through the process, introducing you to traditional calligraphy materials and teaching you mindful brush techniques.

To add an authentic touch, you can choose to embellish your work with a traditional stamp that I'll provide.

5.00I did the calligraphy scroll workshop with Jeongju. She was so kind and helpful and explained the history of calligraphy, explained the consonants and vowels and taught us how to write our names and the message of our choice on our scroll. We had plenty of practice before doing the actual scroll so I felt really confident and was so pleased with the result. Thank you so much Jeongju
SMOKERS PARADISE

1.00I gave the experience a 0 because of inadequate enforcement of smoking rules by staff and management. I complained several times and told them I had COPD. The smoking rules are on the pool rules and posted in areas but they continued to provide them with ashtrays. The odd time they would tell someone no smoking then told me to do it. That caused a confrontation with a drunk that cursed and yelled at me. One incident went really bad when after 1 hour of the complaint an obnoxious guest and dangling his cigarette was finally told he couldn't smoke . When they took his ashtray away he got up and fell on several tables and chairs. We seen him in the buffet the next morning and his left eyes was so swollen 9and completely closed. His head was all bandages up. It was a mess. This never should of happened. I'm sure I'm not allowed to post the picture on here. There was another person in our party that was on a puffer. It took me 4 days after the trip to recove all the smoke I inhaled. There were people even smoking cigars. None of us will ever go to this resort again and people need to be aware of the smoking. Check out ashtray put on table by bar attendent in picture!
