A Trip To Hanguk

Suddenly think of sharing a memorable trip to Korea at the end of last year. It was the first time that i had ever been to journey into far regions. I went with my aunt and a cousin since my parents were occupying with their affairs. What a waste!! Sigh...Anyhow, my parents have promised to travel abroad with me once I’ve accomplished my studies. Would it come true? Hopefully (my dear) will keep their promise

All right! Here we go. Firstly it took about nearly 5 hours to reach the Incheon International Airport. It was 6:00am early in the morning. The temperature was about 2 degree Celsius, somehow contrary to my expectation. The eight-day-trip brought back sweet memories. The only drawback was a few kilos’ luggage which being transferred from time to time for different locations. Luckily, the pleasant cool at the moment made me quite comfortable; it didn’t seem to be a burden for me to carry two pieces of luggage all the way.

Not long ago, I caught up in the Korean ancient drama entitled “Dae Jang Guem”. The story line was about the concubines of an emperor who strive desperately for fame and wealth. I’ve never thought of visiting a place such as the scene of the play where our first destination was located, the king’s palace. As I fairly go in for photography, for sure the digi-cam would be following me wherever I go. Finally I realized that I’ve used up 4 memory sticks with the capacity of 4GB in the sum throughout the trip. Hah, probably u guys might think that there’s gonna be some thousand of pictures I’ve taken at that moment huh?!

Up to now, I still remember vividly one of the places we have been to. The second flight we took was approximately 45 minutes to reach the destination. It is an extraordinary island namely ‘JejuDo’ in Korean. The Jeju Island is very similar to the Hawaiian Islands in the United State. The courier once told us it is one of the top honeymoon destinations for Korean newlyweds. By the way, there were three Malaysian newly married couples during the trip, sounds great man!! I’m wondering…if there is an opportunity to travel there again, I wish I may go with my beloved instead haha…(the word “may” implies the uncertainty of me to get one and still I am)

Back to here again, I would like to say the Korean food is much more different as compared to a local flavor, cuisine and the like. At first, I was very longing for “KIMCHI” indeed. Among those Korean foods, it is top on my list of priorities. Though it tasted good and yet I gave up eventually. Can u imagine each meal will be served with “KIMCHI” as side dishes (in fact it’s the main course for the Korean). Don’t ever think that the chili sauce must be spicy all the time. As far as I know, the Koreans do not seem like the Malaysians to have a strong taste in their food.

In the meantime, I will never forget to mention the experience of skiing. At one point there was an expertise knocked me down without my notice. At that time, I was learning to skate over the ice….Oh no!! I was incredibly helpless at then. Hoping that the ‘gentleman’ (expertise) would gave me his hand, but he just sneaked away instead. I had a terrible pain after the incident. Despite the pain, my passion for skiing will never subside. Finally, I’ve mastered the skill of skiing and skated as much as 15 times continuously. Isn’t it fun? For me absolutely YES!! Hmm…Think of going there once again. My Wonderful Trip!! (HANGUK RE CHOAHEYO!!)
