By JC -
Website: https://www.airport.kr/pa/en/d/2/3/5/index.jsp?tabIndex=2
Duration: 3 hour transit tour from Airport to Cave and back
Description from the site:

There are more than 20 attractions including a light space, a cave art center, a waterfall, a golden palace, an underground lake, a modern history exhibition, and a wine cave inside the Gwangmyeong Cave which has been used for gold, silver and copper since 1912. Also, there are many places to experience such as a wishing wall to wish for health and happiness, gold mining, jewelery mining, elephant bus etc.
Gwangmyeong Cave, which transformed the industrial heritage and cultural value of abandoned gold mine into the culture, arts and healing spaces, is the representative cave of Korea where 1.5 million people visit.

Feedback:
  • This was really sort of a rush.  We were running around and only covered first level. 
  • Traffic was pretty bad on Sundays and thus, we had less time
  • Cave itself was interesting and really "commercialized"
  • They actually have turned this into a theme park and thus,
    • proper pavements and stairs
    • there were interesting shows like Light shows, Horror Cave etc
    • There was even "Batman" and "Hulk" statues since one of the companies actually did something with Marvel and LOTR, there is even a Dragon!
  • There were 9 levels and could prolly take more than half a day.
  • There are waterfalls and a lake inside the dave

Lake Elsinore Walker Canyon Live Camera

By JC -
It's been really hard finding the live camera for Walker Canyon at Lake Elsinore so that I can check out if there is super bloom. Alas, they have one this year (2023) but the city decides to close it for safety reasons. I guess you can just see it from the Live Camera :( http://63.42.216.178:8088/axis-cgi/mjpg/video.cgi

  Actual Tiger Sugar (This is their Black Sugar + Pearl Milk Tea with Mousse) Oolong (Red) and Peach (Green) Tiger Sugar Tea that costs like <$3.00 per cup March 13, 2021 I have tried "The Alley" instant milk tea, now I found Tiger Sugar Instant Milk Tea in the Chinese Grocery Store (Hong Kong Plaza) in Rowland Heights, CA and costing $2.98 each .  There were three kinds: The traditional Black Sugar, Oolong, and Peach.  Since I like my milk tea with actual "tea" so I only bought the Oolong and Peach Tea flavored one.  Now I tried looking for the instructions in YT, since there were no instructions in the cup (it was kinda all in Chinese).  So I googled and found the instructions in Etsy  (and priced there for $7.99 per set or 2 cups, kinda pricy as the mark up is like 25% more than in the supermarkets ) Where I bought it? Hong Kong Supermarket (18414 Colima Rd #1, Rowland Heights, CA 91748) Instructions: Submerge the Tea Bag into 450 ml (~2 cups) of hot water
