After traveling all over the world, I fell in love with Lisbon.
Now it has become my 'lar doce lar' home sweet home.
English is not my first language, but I love interacting with fellow travelers with wonderlusts.

Learning Portuguese isn't easy for Koreans.
Very different.
Especially the pronunciation is hard.
Every day I write one episode of a drama or a movie.
Heading downtown, I always walk. It's an easy walk as my house is not all the way up on the hill. However, coming back, I usually take the metro. There are many buses but the subway is the fastest way to get home. It usually runs from 6:30 to 1 a.m. but the schedule may change. So if you want to go out at night and head back home-away-home late, then click here to make sure when the last train is. It's a blessing to ride an escalator after a long day of walking. Even after strolling through the nooks and crannies of Lisbon hills, you may want to use an elevator instead of stairs, especially with bad knees. Some metro stations in Lisbon do have elevators and escalators. Before lugging a heavy bag or babystroller, please plan ahead and check the wheelchair signs on the metro map first. As you can see, all the metro stations on the RED LINE have elevator access. It's either at the end or in t...
National Palace of Belem , the official residence of the Portuguese President , is only open to the public on Saturdays. Palace gardens Cascade Gardens - the sculpture of Hercules There are five guided tours at 10:30, 11:30, 14:30, 15:30, and 16:30. These are subject to change due to the presidential schedule, so it's safer to call and book in advance just to make sure. The number is 21-361-49-80. You can't see the inside of the palace on other days. However, should you decide to visit on Sundays, the museum and part of gardens are open and offer free admission to all visitors. The museum houses many precious items from the state figures all over the world. Personally, the best time to visit the Belem Palace is on the 3rd Sunday of the month. At 11 a.m., the ceremony of changing the guard takes place right in front of the palace. Don't miss it. It's a treat. In London, I was lucky enough to see the Buckingham Palace's Changi...
To promote tourism in Lisbon, Turismo de Lisboa has been offering free maps and info at Ask Me Lisboa booths all over Lisbon. They are information centers where you can also purchase a Lisboa card or book attractions in advance to gain fast track access. Some leaflet even has a coupon so it's a smart way to enjoy your visit. As one of the most popular booklets at the info center, you may not get one in your own language. Don't worry. Just visit the site and the download. All the info is provided in six languages, including English and Portuguese. Some visitors from Korea don't feel comfortable figuring it out in English so sometimes I help them to understand and find out whatever piques their interests. It is kind of time consuming but I enjoy every minute of it. By translation info into Korean, I get to learn more about what this city offers visitors from all over the world. Through my Korean blog, a lady from Sintra got the info on OVO...
