KOREA .......I was there several years ago. It was a business trip in Seoul and I had marvellous time staying at Lotte Hotel. I spent a week in Seoul prior to my stay in Tokyo. Sad to say there were no smartphones then, and none of us actually took pictures except for the official group photos.
Anyway, I can never forget Seoul for its brooches........lots and lots of them, and very cheap indeed, and of course the Kimchi, a Korean fermented side dish which is actually fermented cabbage. I was told Kimchi is known to prevent obesity and it also helps to curb the growth of cancer cells. Well, lets be on the lookout for Kimchi again...do hurry......hehehe.
I managed to coax my friend, who is also a leisure planner (I did mention about her in my earlier post), to publish a photo of her in Korea. It was not easy to persuade her though....hehehe.
Not too bad ....she does look cute in the Hanbok...dont you agree?
So still excited about the Kimchi..........and ladies..... the brooches??
I have this package in store for you..........anytime anyday for Kimchiiiiii.....
Please ignore the dates.....like I say...give me your dates and be it a Muslim or Non-Muslim meals, just give us a tinkle at 012 393 8162 or 013 31313 592 or simply email at leisureplannertna@blogspot.com
8DAYS 9NIGHTS is from RM4888/USD 1630/GBP889/SD1955
How wonderful...1st Day - One of the places to visit is the City tour of Kongbok Palace or its other names equally and widely used Gyeongbokgung Palace or Gyeongbok Palace. Interestingly, this palace was built in the late 14th Century or 1395 to be exact, but burned and abandoned for almost 300 hundred years, and only to be finally restored in the modern era in 1867!
Next day, we are off to Jeju Island. Yess, Jeju..............Seongeup Folk Village
At the entrance of the village, you will be greeted by a 1000-year old Zelkova tree. The village gives you an insight to the ordinary life of people who have stayed in the straw-roofed houses years ago. You will notice as you enter the village there are statues of men about 1.4m in height. Several sites here are used for rituals to pray for good health and wealth.
Day 4 - Its to Busan, about 450km southeast of Seoul and take almost 3 hours via bullet train. One of the interesting places to visit is the Jagalchi Fish Market. It is the largest seafood market in Korea. Besides having to eat the raw fish at the market, you will also get to observe the lifestyle of the Busan indigenous natives.
Notice, most are women selling at the market.
Next day is shopping and shopping.
Day 6 is Nami Island. O yes.......other places too.
O there she is again in Nami Island....Hi Aini! This is a very recent photo taken of her.
I just love the trees lining in such an an orderly manner, reminds me of the soldiers in their smart uniforms in a parade, not an inch away from the rest and standing proud waiting for instructions with no hesistance.
Then its again shopping and shopping the next day. I hope the guys will enjoy it too!
Our 2nd last day will be a visit to the Everland Theme Park before settling back in Seoul on the final day.
Tips to travel
Always keep your monies in different places. You would not want to get an uninviting guests to savour your big fat wallet or purse.
I would actually advise to carry a debit card rather than too much cash. Perhaps some small changes for a cash will be helpful.
Never never leave your passport in your hotel. Bring with you wherever you go.
