It offers a variety of things to see, from the wonders of nature to beautiful man-made structures.
On JTBC ‘Talk Pawon 25 Hours’ aired on the 19th, architect and writer Ogisawa, who appeared as a guest, enjoyed a virtual trip to Kauai, Hawaii, Istanbul, Turkey, a luxury home tour in Hong Kong, and an architectural tour in New York, USA.
On this day, Hawaii Tokpawon explored Kauai, the oldest island in the Hawaiian archipelago and also known as the “Garden Isle.” After meeting the Hawaiian monk seals at Poipu Beach, they reported on the mysterious landscape of the Spouting Horn, where waves shoot up into the sky after entering a lava cave, and Waimea Canyon, the “Grand Canyon of Hawaii.”
They also enjoyed a 4km mountain tubing ride using the canal that was built to bring water from Mount Waialeale when there was a sugarcane plantation in the past.Yang Se-chan said, “It’s a natural water park,” and Jeon Hyun-moo couldn’t take his eyes off it, saying, “It’s a natural flume ride.” The boat tour of the Na Pali Coast, as well as meeting pods of dolphins and humpback whales, and snorkeling with turtles also drew exclamations from the cast members including Lee Chan-won.
Next, the Turkish Tokpawon enjoyed a full course in Istanbul, including the famous old tram at Taksim Square, a restaurant run by Nusret Gokce, the underground cistern called the Basilica Cistern, eating Balık Ekmek, known for its mackerel kebab, and a night cruise over the Bosphorus Strait.In particular, the Basilica Cistern was built by recycling stones from ancient imperial temples, so the pillars had various shapes, and the theory about why the two Medusas are lying on their sides or upside down was also intriguing.
Meanwhile, in Hong Kong, the financial center of Asia and a gathering place for the super-rich, we took a look into the luxurious life of the upper class.First, Hong Kong TalkPawon visited a friend’s penthouse in West Kowloon, one of the most expensive residential areas on the Kowloon Peninsula, and drew attention with its luxurious interior and Victoria Harbour view.
The price of the luxury penthouse with an indoor playground, cafeteria, reading room, and gym is approximately 21.7 billion won, and Alberto and Daniel were named as the correct answerers.In addition, the fun of introducing the private club’s golf facilities and accommodations created by Adrian Chung was also heightened.The club membership is approximately 500 million won, and it is surprising that it can be used for life by the member, spouse, children, and parents.
Finally, in New York, the heart of world architecture, we learned about the Flatiron Building, Grand Central Terminal, Empire State Building, and 30 Hudson Yards with Tokpawon from the United States.Among them, Grand Central Terminal, a representative example of the Beaux-Arts style, attracted attention with the main hall where BTS performed and the secret basement M42 that was erased from the map.Tokpawon, who went to the restaurant on the 101st floor of 30 Hudson Yards, enjoyed a meal overlooking New York at a glance and also shared a tip that the observatory is free if you spend more than $40 in the building.
