Seoul...soul of Asia

"How big is Seoul? How do you find Seoul interesting??"
"I heard that Korea has nothing much to see or eat, I rather go to Japan..."
"Korea not as IN as Japan lar..."


Sounds familiar with the questions above? Or did you actually asked or said that before... I can answer you...KOREA has lotsa fun!! Maybe to most people it's just a travel destination, but to me it means a lot... lot more than I could say... I like almost everything about Korea~


Korea has 9 regions: Gyeonggi-do, Gangwon-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Jeollabuk-do, Jeollanam-do and Jeju-do.
Unfortunately I only travelled along Gyeonggi-do to Chungcheongbuk-do during my 10-day-excursion in Korea 5 years ago... We landed at Incheon, stayed in Seoul and travelled from Seoul to Daejon then back to Seoul. So out of the highlighted cities, I only managed to see Seoul, Incheon and Daejon.



Recommended places in Seoul...hmmmm let's see how many have I been to..


I've been to Gyeongbokgung Palace, Insa-dong, Myeong-dong, Seoul Worldcup Stadium and Lotte World. Insa-dong and Myeong-dong are heaven for shopping, I did, well, we did spent a very pleasant weekend in Myeong-dong doing the shopping and food hunting. And we found the best restaurant for Sam-kye-tang (Ginseng chicken).

It's just like yesterday although it's been 5 years since I left Seoul. The memories are priceless. I never could have get rid of them. Leaving footsteps in Korea -- I've fulfilled my dream. And I would ask for more...

And thanks to KTO, I could always refresh my memories and passion for Korea through the website. Click on the KTO logo below for a better understanding on Korea. 대한민국~

现在才发现,原来我们的部落格差一点就安了个和大马著名背包旅行作者黄爱琳的两本书书名一样的名字。。。所以如果有一天爱琳再出版第三本书,而书名为《再难也要去旅行》的话,我们并不是抄袭她的哦。。。 ^.^
