Interesting IDNs

Seongnam City 성남시 is a large city just to the south west of Seoul 서울. It is divided into 3 gu 구(district): Bundang, Jungwon and Sujeong.

There is a national Korean Senior Citizenʼs Association 대한노인회. I am also a Senior Citizen Each district of Seongnam City has a branch of the Korean Senior Citizenʼs Association and each of these branches has an IDN website. Now that is what I would call both cool and progressive

② 대한노인회 성남시 중원구지회 Jungwon district branch http://중원구지회.한국
③ 대한노인회 성남시 수정구지회 Sujeong district branch http://수정구지회.한국

FoodFood Farm 풋풋농장 is based in Cheongyang County 청양군, South Chungcheong Province 충청남도. It's IDN is http://풋풋농장.닷컴 (?? farm.com). I really am not sure how to translate 풋풋? Cheongyang County has two well known locally grown food specialities which are Gugija 구기자 https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/구기자 and Cheongyang Peppers 청양고추 https://ko.wikipedia.org/wiki/청양고추

FoodFood Farm has a youtube channel and here are two of their videos

Mammoth 맘모스 has a well designed and engineered device for holding multiple fishing rods. It features on their landing page at http://맘모스.닷컴 More photos of the device and it's components at http://맘모스.닷컴/shop/item.php?it_id=1573275753

달인식자재마트 is a Korean Supermarket located in Incheon 인천. It has the IDNs http://달인식자재마트.닷컴 and http://달인식자재마트.com The site is packed with hundreds (may be thousands of fascinating products.

There are so many interesting foods and I also like to study the packaging. So, here are direct links to some of their products:

Yongneup Pension 용늪펜션 is located in the north east of South Korea, not far from the border with North Korea http://용늪펜션.한국 (Yongneup Pension.korea). So, first I had to discover what a Pension is and I learned from Wikipedia it is a is a type of guest house or boarding house https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pension_(lodging)

Yongneup 용늪, in this context means Dragon Swamp. Yongneup Pension is near to Dragon Swamp on Mt. Daeam 대암산 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Hi...p_of_Mt._Daeam

If you look at the photos on the landing page and in http://용늪펜션.한국/?page_id=11637 it looks to be a beautiful place to spend a holiday.

They grow and sell delicious looking apples on 용늪펜션 farm http://용늪펜션.한국/?page_id=11653

I continue my exploration of Korean Domain Names and on my journey of discovery I am learning much about Korean culture. The IDN http://누들보쌈.닷컴 (noodle bossam.com) led to me learning about Bossam which is a Korean pork based dish. The custom is to wrap Bossam dish ingredients in a leaf and then eat the resultant package of food https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bossam

Foods and Drinks delivery company http://미소박스.닷컴 (Smile Box.com) A word that occurs frequently on this site is 밀키트. Various online translators gave a number of translations to English: Milk Kit, Mill Kit, Wheat Kit. This confused me somewhat until I realised the translation to English, in this context, should be Meal Kit This company sells several attractive looking Meal Kits. The one that appeals to me most is the Chilli Japchae & Flower Bread 고추잡채＆꽃빵 http://미소박스.닷컴/product/detail.html?p...isplay_group=2
