In particular, the media art performance centered on the Namsumun wall is popular as a spectacle as it shows the story of the history and origin of Suwon Hwaseong Fortress in compressed images.

In the surrounding malls, various street shops are open during this period. If you taste Suwon's famous beef and seasoned whole chicken, it is expected that your trip will be satisfying for both your senses of sight and taste.

iPhone 14 Pro Max everyday camera

The improvement of the iPhone 14's camera performance seems to have changed my photography life a bit. In everyday life, most of the cases do not carry a camera, so even at the moment when I did not take a picture, I trusted the iPhone 14 Pro Max and took a picture. As a result, there are more daily photos than in the past. The photos below are daily photos taken over a period of less than a month. Most of the photos were taken with Apple ProRaw and converted to jpg with Lightroom. Even when I see fallen leaves falling under my feet, I take pictures of things I would otherwise have missed. In a low-light environment such as at night, if it was my previous iPhone XS MAX, I would not have attempted to take a picture, but I do not hesitate to take out my iPhone and take a picture. Even in environments like the dark basement like the one pictured above, you can capture satisfying photos with plenty of detail. Of course, recent mirrorless cameras will show better image quality in low li...

Siheung Shinsegae Outlet Christmas Cookie Run packaging store

Premium outlets in Korea are decorating their shopping spaces with unique concepts for each major company. In the case of Siheung Shinsegae Premium Outlet, the entire shopping mall is decorated with the market concept of a small and medium-sized European city. Siheung is about 40km away from Seoul and takes about 50 minutes by car. This outlet has become a very beautiful space with Christmas decorations featuring a Cookie Run pop-up store during the Christmas season. My family and I stopped by to have a weekend dinner and do some shopping, and we looked around the central square because the Christmas decorations were very well done. The central plaza is decorated with a Christmas tree, Cookie Run characters wearing Santa hats, and various Christmas decorations. This blends well with the image of the original European concept Shinsegae Premium Outlet, creating a proper Christmas atmosphere. It seems that there are many people who purposely visit to see this decoration. There ar...
