anneyong haseyo

so, this is the last minute trip, but i wont regret it.

Arrival Day
Sebab last minute and i got crucial meeting the day before, so i lambat 2 ari from the others. Nervous jugak, i have to travel alone to the Happy Guest House, and knowing me, i failed navigation miserably -_-". And South Korea as non-english speaking country does not help either. nasib jugak la ada ajusshi baik hati. wee

baik hati ajusshi :)

phew, after bertukar2 line (they have 9 subway line here) sampai la kat boetigogae. the thing is, i tak tau mana happy guest house tuh. alhamdullilah very luckily met the others (ainna, jamel, pza, anep) there. ya Allah, macam nak sujud syukur

pertemuan menyayat hati 

Day 1: Nami Island

yeah, the so famous island. to get there is quite a thrill sebab our research way back home is using the old (before line 9 is develop) korea subway map. siap sesat & tersalah naik under maintenance train. the netizens are very helpful but we cant understand a thing. man jadda wa jadda, we reached nami island i.e. we take subway to Chuncheon-tukar line to Gapyeong (quite confusing, there is two different station which lead to the other way)-cab to the Nami Island jetty-ferry to Nami Island (W$8k). BUT, we opted for something else, Skyline yall (W$28k), aka flying fox across the river. and we're just 1 day late, kalau tak jumpa the shaheizey sam et all da.

the skyline weee

we're excited weee

arrived the scenic island

and take a lot of photos yall

Day 2: Gyeongbokgung Palace, Coex Aquarium

Seoul has soo many palaces, ada 3 kalau tak silap and we're being soo ambitious nak pegi all three. i tell you, even this one kitorang tak larat nak cover. btw, at 10am and 12pm they have their change of guard ceremony

We also went to the Coex Aquarium, situated at the Coex Mall (Gangnam Station - line 2). lebih kurang cam Aquaria :)

ouh ouh, we met Shaheizy Sam et all around Cheonggyecheon River, on our way having bibimbap for lunch. at last, am happy for you Ainna. weee!!!

Day 3: Everland (Gangnam station-bus no.5002, around 50min ride-everland bus), Cheonggyecheon River

Everland is a theme park-water park-all season flower garden. super awesome. thanks to pza, he dragged us riding the T Express (the steepest wooden roller coaster in the world, pfft), and thank god we all still in one piece. pza, ko tau tak tangan aku melecet pegang tangan ainna kuat sangat. nonetheless, it is thrilling experience :)

so, we ate shrimp/prawn burger (Lotteria, their so-called McDonald) by the road, kitorang pegi Cheonggyecheon aka awan dania (-_-") river. haha, dah our visit consultant aka jamel (&ainna) minat awan dania, nak buat macam mana kan. actually, this river has been restored from very polluted condition. siap jadi tourist attraction sebab ada laser2 show and historical stories kat bawah jambatan tuh :)

real tulip behind us. jakun jugak laa

panjang woo queue

(background) T Express.pfft

haha, lepas tuh kitorang (i.e. aku & ainna) jadi penunngu, for "thrill" ride

Day 4: Korea University, Yeuido Park, 63 Building (Wax Museum), Han River

Sebab our visit consultant juga adalah almost student Korea University (Gongdeok Station-line  6) before opted for UTP, hence the trip. 

so, we went to Yeuido Park (Yeuido Station-Line 5) upon other guest in the house suggestion. Basically, taman bunga yang penuh sebab it's spring bebeh

63 Building used to be the tallest building in South Korea, and filled mostly with art thingy. kitorang jalan layan perasaan di bawah pahon sakura je

from there, sambung lagi layan perasaan kesejukan tepi Han River :)

kat U kena la study kan wee

layan jiwang overlooking the Han River

on the way to 63 Building

Yeuido Park. hurm, mana ntah letak bunga sakura seludup aritu

Day 5: World Cup Stadium (World Cup Station-Line 6)

Haha, tau reason why kan, pegi ngan 2jejaka hantu bola memang gini laa. sempat lagi beli tiket nak tengok match bola -_-"

isi perut

their warm-up room

their changing room

wee, main mende ni best

Day 6: Lotte World (W$38k, with Korea Tourist coupon, W$33k) (Jamsil Station-Line 2)

wee, the second group were here (nina, hawa, mag, wani, kema, aai, lin, syd) and we're going to Lotte World, another theme park, attached with Lotte Mall. 

hamek ko ramai tak ramai

Day 7: Dongdaemun, Myeongdong

yeah, even shopping is not my forte, tapi apa guna tak beli souvenir kan (even i purposely bawa backpack so taley shop banyak. haha).worry not, pandai pilih, dapat duty free yall

Dongdaemun (Dongdaemun Station-Line 2) lebih kurang cam street market la. tak tau apa pasal, barang sentuh barang beli. nasib ler hardcore k-pop-till-they-can-master-the-language ada, boleh tawar-menawar

Myeongdong (Myeongdong Station-Line 4) pon tempat shopping gak. 

Around 3pm balik kemas2 nak balik Malaysia.pfft. esok nya lemau lam office -_-"

sementara tunggu the hardcore-shopper, ada new group buat perform.pfft, kulit lawa habes

souvenir habes licin bagi kepada kesayanganss

Note:

Stay: Happy Guest House (~RM50/day). equipped with kitchen, desktop, internet (crucial in uploading the oh-so-sceneric photo and googling our journey), situated around Boetigogae Station (Line 6)

#1: t-money, (their rechargeable card used for paying transportation around South Korea, i.e. sub, bus, etc, sort of our rapid pass) can be bought at their convenient store at W$ 10k
