Bosingak is a large bell pavilion on Jongno in Seoul, South Korea. The bell in Bosingak gives Jongno its name, which literally means "bell street." It was originally constructed in 1396 but destroyed many times by both war and fire. It was designated Bosingak by Emperor Gojong in 1895.
In the Joseon Dynasty, this bell was at the center of the castle town. The bell was struck to announce the opening and closing of the four gates around Seoul. At 4 am and 10 pm the bell was struck 33 times and gates were opened and closed. It was used as a fire alarm as well. In modern times, the bell is rung only at midnight on New Year's Eve. Because of the massive number of people who attend this ceremony, Metro trains on Line 1 of the Seoul Subway do not stop at Jonggak Station on New Year's Eve.

Bosingak is a bell pavilion in Seoul. It was originally built in 1396, but it was destroyed in a fire. The bell was rebuilt in 1468 and is now in the national museum. The bell in the belfrey was built in 1985 with funds raised by the public. The bell was used to keep time during the Joseon Dynasty. There were 4 gates in Seoul where people could go in and out. At 4 a.m. the bell would ring 33 times and the gates would open. At 10 p.m. the bell would ring 28 times and the gates would close. Bosingak Belfrey is Seoul-si Monument No. 10 I was lucky to get there for the bell ringing ceremony. There is a bell ringing ceremony held daily (except Mondays) at 11:30am. I got there a little bit late, but was able to see the whole ceremony. Filmed on Sept 6 2014 using an ipad mini. Edited in imovi...

We joined the massive crowds at the Bosingak Belfry in Seoul to (literally) ring in the New Year. At midnight, they rang the bell 33 times. There was live music and entertainment starting around 11:30pm, and then after midnight as well. Very lively crowd even though it was freezing cold out.
Every city is famous for its own New Year′s celebration... if New York has a ball drop ceremony in Times Square... Seoul has the Bosingak Pavilion ringing of the bell ceremony. Every New Year′s Eve, many Koreans choose to be in downtown Seoul... to see that ginat bell. And that′s exactly where our Kwon Soa is standing by for us tonight. Let′s connect to her now.

Bosingak Belfry, or bell tower, was used to keep time and as a fire alarm to protect and alert the city in times of emergency during the Joseon Dynasty. First constructed in 1396, it has been destroyed and rebuilt many times over the years. Originally, it was known as Jongnu or Jonggak. The name was changed to Bosingak in 1895, during the reign of King Gojong. http://www.theseoulguide.com/sights/pavilions/bosingak-belfry/

This week's Walk and Talk takes place in one of my favorite areas in Seoul - The Jonggak and Cheonggyecheon. This area has a lot of business buildings, some of which are replacing older buildings. After walking a bit on the street, I head down to the Cheonggyecheon and give you the experience of being there in person. We end the walk street side with a special view of the Bosingak as I ring the bell at noon. -= WEB SITES =- G+: http://google.com/+SteveMiller_QiRanger Twitter: http://twitter.com/qiranger Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/qiranger Facebook Page: http://www.facebook.com/qirangeradventures Instagram: http://instagr.am/qiranger Blog: http://qiranger.com The Travel and News Channel: http://youtube.com/qiranger The Vlog Channel: http://youtube.com/theqirangervlog Podcast: http:/...

Nobody likes looking stupid when they travel to a new country and knowing how to properly behave can sometimes be very confusing. Here is a short introduction into some of the more traditional table manners that you will need to know in a formal situation. These can be very important to some people who are more traditional or to people who are in positions that are deserving of respect. Koreans are extremely lenient with people who do not know their culture, but it is important to respect their traditions as well.

Scams and lies and alibis
Are all your stock in trade
Spin me round, I'm upside down
And I don't know the date
I feel outsmarted deceived and deluded
Completely inverted and unaware
Of all the changes and most of the dangers
Yet I've reached the stage where I just don't care
I tried to believe in you
I was only deceived in you
So now I'll be leaving you
I guess I'll be seeing you
Subterfuge divide and rule
Are all your favorite games
Plans and ploys are basic toys
To realise your aims
I tried to hold on just try to hang on
Try to pretend we could get somewhere
But you're so intent on some pointless diversion
We soon reached the point where I just don't care
Well, if it ain't one thing
Then it's another
First you cut me cold
Then you're my long lost brother
But I know I can't go on much longer
With the way things are
