Korea Trip I.

I know I should've write about this trip a month ago; when every memory is still fresh. But well, I am a good procrastinator I shall say, until I found the right mood.

I won't be writing in detail though, because for this trip, I didn't plan the itinerary myself. In fact, I didn't plan anything at all -__-"


Day 1 (KUL - Incheon Airport - Myeongdong Market)

On our first day, we arrived at Incheon Airport quite late, around 5.00pm (note that the day is shorter during autumn season) so it's almost dawn. We were greeted by our tour guide (Malaysian) and accompanied by two Malaysian students as her assistant.


My first picture of  the Incheon Airport.

As soon as I got out from the airport, a chilling breeze welcomed me. My first thought of Korea -- "Ya Tuhan seronoknya kalau cuaca macam ni kat Malaysia". Kahkah. It's true, though. The first thing I thought about is the weather.

So we went to our hostel to check in, have an early dinner and then we headed straight to Myeongdong Street Market. As soon as we arrived there, we got the news that one of our tour guide's husband died that evening. So she went back to the airport immediately. Innalillahi wainna ilaihi raji'un.

Okay moving on, Myeongdong shopping street is of course, famous for shopping - especially for cosmetics & fashion accesories. But well, us being food lovers, we are more excited to try the street foods. The fruits sold are fresh and sweet. The fish cake and takoyaki is so sedappp <3

Fish cakes <3

Omo takoyaki sotong besar omo!


Day 2 (Nami Island - Dongdaemun Design Plaza)

On our second day, we didn't have much activity in our itinerary as we spend almost one day in Nami Island. This is the perfect place to experience autumn season at its best, especially if this is your first autumn experience. I fell in love with this place as soon as I get here. 

The place is quite far from our hostel; almost 2 hours of journey (including the traffic jam) so we arrived there in the afternoon. Nami Island itself is an interesting place with interesting history, but I guess explaining history in a blog is not a good idea. I got very curious about this island that I googled to find out hahaha. Semangat.

I'd just stop here and leave you guys with some pictures of Nami Island (although the place is actually very pleasing to the eyes and the pictures can't do enough justice).







Alright, so after we had our time in Nami, we were brought to Dongdaemun Design Plaza. Architecture enthuasist would love this place. The design of the building is very complex yet very stunning. And you can also find thousands of LED roses here. We didn't do anything in this place, we just took some pictures because Mak is already tired and can't walk much.

I plan to make just one post for this trip but I'm already sleepy, help :')

So, I'll continue this post next time! (God knows when, hopefully soon). I'm sorry if this post is already boring. I'm not sure if I gotten worse in writing after months of hiatus. Lol. Please bear with me, it'll get better. I'll try okay :')
