금빛노 을 A unique coffee shop with no staffs around in Busan Korea

Today's exploration is at 금빛노을. I googled what it means in English and it says A GOLDEN CROWN, but my Korean friend's translation was something like YOUR GOLDEN LIFE. Well! what ever it means, either both you've really gotta have a golden heart to enter this place. It is a place that requires honesty.

I think we came a bit early for the experience but I am glad because I will definitely be coming back here to experience each changes. Today's images are the face of the early spring. It is the transformation moment for the season. One of my favorite time of the year where I can experience that patience of waiting for the magical reborn of thy nature's Flora and Fauna.

  After 20 minutes of drive from expressway, We end up in this intersection. 

We just followed the navigation and yes this place is kind of hidden far from the city. 

We were escorted by these lovely and getting ready for a cherry blossom tunnel buds. This is what I am talking about, you've gotta see that magical moments to really appreciate it. During winter these trees would just look so dramatically old and dead bud as soon as early spring arrives, your mood just lifts ups by watching them turning into young and as fragile as babies sleeping. 

We finally arrived safely, and still you can see the remnant of the winter. Still a bit chilly so we found a lot cars by the parking lot but surprisingly we don't see people outside. They must have chosen to stay indoors. 

 The entrance fee is 5,000 won a bit less than 5.00 US dollars. And this is the most interesting part, as I mentioned earlier you've gotta be honest here because this place do not have any staffs watching around but there are cameras all over of course. We then drop 10,000 won on the box and enter because there were two of us. They have change fund ready by the way if you carry big bills with you.

The first to great us was this beautiful early bloomer apricot.

The main lobby of the coffee shop.

Hello there! This place is amazingly filled with wonderful stuffs that I love. 

   Oso osea yu! Anyeong hea sa yo! 

                                 My kind of landscape.

As soon as we entered the gate, as a first timer I was overwhelmed by the choices and size of the place. The place is huge and we couldn't make up our mind where to take a seat so we just toured around first.

We decided not to enter the main building and save it for our next visit.

There were about 4 or 5 green houses besides the main building where you can find the condiments stations. Each have a story to tell.

  Some of the green houses has guest on it so I did not take photos. This one is probably where the owner keeps her clay art collections. 

By the entrance we were greeted by this cute hand crafted thing.

You are welcome to leave notes to the owner I guess.

More cute stuffs.

The tea station. Those jars are filled with flower teas where you can pick a choice from. A bread toast is available as well, You are welcome to help yourself. All included in the 5,000 won you paid.

A coffee of your choice. Vending, Brewed or instant. And oh! I forgot to take picture of what is inside the refrigerator. Some assorted fruits that you can use. 

One of the gazebo has a varieties of potted cactus on display I didn't really take much photos but I am going back for more on this interesting coffee shop.

Challenging creative 3 days watermelon detox that lasted for 5 days.

Challenging creative 3 days watermelon detox that lasted for 5 days.

  Ever thought about trying a watermelon detox?  Well! first of all, I am not a health expert, I am just sharing how I enjoyed this just the  thought doing it for your health boring thing. I came up with the idea on taking advantage of the watermelon season during summer.

                     

                        Here's how I beat the boredom of it.

Day 1 - I started with fresh watermelon shake and I lasted for a day without any solid food or anything else.

Day 2 - My stomach started to look for solid food so I just ate it as it is. Tips to enjoy the best watermelon in Korea, find the one with that red sticker as shown on my photo. It cost a bit but it is guaranteed that you'r taking home a definitely delicious watermelon..

Day 3 - I started craving for something else. so I decided to

 pretend eating something else. Just starting to get creative as well.

Burp burp. Yummy, Did I just had my favorite Bolgugi pizza? I then decided to have pizza all day LOL.. But I am definitely having something else the next day. I intended to last my watermelon detox for 3 days and the final day had finally arrived, but I got so excited about creating more menu for the next day. I accepted the challenge and I made a  promised to myself that it is going to be a big feast on day 4 so I just got  a bit excited and started imagining for some other easy menu. 

Day 4 - I am not a breakfast person but I got excited and started with my fried rice, sunny side egg and hotdog.

       

And no one was able there to stop me with my ala ARC clubhouse ( the best clubhouse I've ever tried from ARC resort Saipan) for my late snack.

           As I've mentioned, It's gonna be a feast on day 4 so walahh!! 

A well done T- bone steak for dinner. With matching strawberry crape for dessert.

                 
It's over, it's finally over I exclaimed thinking about my rewards for the next day. it's going to be a real buffet. Perhaps Paradise buffet? My mouth was watering for salmon sushi already. 

Day 5 -  When I woke up I realized that I still had a lot of watermelon left. I was kind of in the mood for cereal so I've decided to have some. 

              
  I then decided to have another feast with all the menu I created for last day. 

I followed it up with vegetable porridge on day 6 to settle my stomach. If you're asking me how much weight I lose. I wasn't really paying attention to it since it wasn't my main intention though I am overweight. My main purpose was to clean up my system and yes! I felt much better and lighter than before. 

Also guess what I did with the watermelon skin?  

  I blend them on a blender and added on my bath soak. Can you imagine how happy my skin was? It was an organic exfoliating treat. I got the idea while I was preparing my creative watermelon dishes. I noticed that my hand looked so happy so, 

you know exactly what came to my mind next.  

Yes! I did it! Believe it or not I did it! I had not felt symptoms of any side effect from my detox. But I learned a great lesson towards it.

 It's all in our minds. I mean it is a mind over matters. It wasn't about the detox anymore but a challenge to how can I endure the challenge of creativity.
