Korea Adventure =)

18- 23 December 2008





hello Malaysia. anyong ha se yo! gosh, i miss Malaysia damn much. Although i've been away for 5 days but it felt like i've been leaving for more than a year. alhamdulillah. thank god i've safely arrived here in Malaysia. owh, well. i actually just came back from Korea. family vacation. it was a great vacation. i had so much fun there in Korea. it was actually my 1st time in Korea. it was a very nice country. i love the whether there. it was winter when i was there. i love d cold weather and the snow makes me feel...... romantic? hahaha ;p yeah, it was -4 degree Celsius in Korea. it was friggin' cold but i love it. not like Malaysia where there's no winter n the temperature is like 33 degree Celsius all the time. freakin' hot! i can't stand hot weather. Puteri Lilin i guess?? haha ;p




Korea's capital city, Seoul, is a very busy city. traffic jams everyday. lots of people walking around in Seoul. this is because it is where all the shopping complexes located there. furthermore, since it was their Christmas and year end sale, so lots of people going around to make their preparations for Christmas. yeah, most of the Koreans are Protestants, so they celebrate Christmas and that's their big and important festival there. and owh, since the Christmas is near, Seoul city is decorated with lots of neon lights on most of the buildings there. so beautiful and wonderful to see those colourful neon lights =)






i did lots of activities in Korea. 1 of d most important activities, shopping of course! haha. there was a lot of this discounts 50%, 70% tags all around n i can't stand to see that. rase gatal jew mata niwh bilew tgk the discounts. haha ;p well, wut to do. girls love shopping! am i right girls? huhu. but i juz bought a Polo jumper, 2 adidas shirts, 1 timberland bag, 1 Louis Vuitton handbag, a nike shoe and lots of korea's stuffs and souveniers. not forgetting, korea's famous dish, Kim chi! huhu. Kim chi tastes so gud. i love it. bt i dun really like when it had been preserved or kept for a long time because it'll taste a lil bit sour. i like d fresh kim chi. make n eat on d same day. it tastes good and spicy too. huhu. when i was in seoul, i got d chance to make ma own kim chi at d kim chi school. it is easy to make kim chi. besides that, i had the chance to wear Korean's traditional dress which is called hanbok. wut a nice & lovely dress. =)








apart from the shopping and kimchi making, i did try the ski. yeah it was my 1st time to ski. but in order to ski, we need to go to Vivaldi Park which is a 2 hours drive from Seoul. it's on the mountains. it's getting much more colder and the roads are covered with snow on our way to Vivaldi. yeah, it's snowing. heavy snow! yeaayy! hehe. Vivaldi Park is 1 of d biggest ski resorts in Korea. it's a huge park and lots of people as well. so, i decided to ski at night. yeah, it was fun skiing there but i didn't expect to be that difficult too. the ski boots are very heavy. when i put on d boots, i feel like i'm walking like a robot. haha. i learned the basic skills of ski. how to make 11 and A position. it was easy. but when u start to ski from the top of the mountain, gosh, laju gilew and sumtimes it's hard to do the A position to break. owh, i fell down twice. hahaha. when u fell down, it's hard for u to get up. u know why? this is because of the heavy ski boots and the long thing under the boots. but actually, there r 2 ways to get up but i chose d easiest way to get up which is to take off d boots first and put it on after u've get up. haha. yeah, i had ma 2 hours ski session. it was fun and wut a great experience too! i wish to learn ski more.







the next activity i did was, spending a day at Lotte World Indoor and outdoor theme park. it's a huge theme park in Korea besides Everland. it cost about 35000 won which is about RM105 per person. so i did try some rides there like pharaoh's fury ride, flume ride, sindband adventure and etc. it was fun. the rides are awesome. and took some photographs as well. i like d outdoor 1. very nice =) owh, there r some shops there and a bowling alley located at d basement near d ice skating ring.








owh, i visited Nami Island. it's where the popular Korean's drama, Winter Sonata's shooting place. u need to take a boat ride to the island. it took about 5 min to reach there. it's just a small island. full of very nice oak trees. when i reached there, the trees are covered with snow. so nice. so i took out ma cam and took some photographs. i even made a snowman competition with my parents too. haha. it's not easy to make a snowman. it tooks bout 15min i guess to make 1 snowman. right afta that, i walk more further in the park, and reached the winter sonata's shooting place. with a lot of oak trees. nice scenery. and i'm so lucky because it's snowing when i reached there. so, i feel like i'm in d winter sonata mood too. haha ;p









during ma stay there in Korea, i tried various kind of foods. the korean's meal like the sticky pulut rice with soup and kimchi, japanese's meal like the Udon noodle, tempura, and codfish, Turkish's kebabs and Pakistan's naan n kurma. yummy! hehehe. and the fruits there r delicious. the Jeju Island's orange, strawberries and pears r very sweet. u don't have to put them in the fridge because the fruits are always cold & fresh. so u'll just need to wash them & u can eat them right away. that's kewl! =)















other than that, i went to visit some historical/ tourist attraction places like the Blue House, national folk museum, MBC theme park[Jewel in The Palace shooting place]







i had so much fun and great experience in Korea and i wish to visit Korea again some other time. =)
