Sat, 18 Jun 2011 07:42:00 +0000

This is something that I have been proud of since returning from Korea. Despite people telling me how expensive Korea is, we did a budget travel South Korea with less than RM1,000. I share with you my itinerary and the list of item we had spent money on. Not included in the list are snacks, […]

Nami Island, where Winter Sonata starts…..

Sun, 22 May 2011 01:28:00 +0000

After much procastination, I decided to put Nami Island into our itineraries on the day just before we departed for Korea. My indecisiveness to go Nami Island was not without a reason. On the mention of this island everyone will link it to the drama series Winter Sonata, which irks me. No offense intended for […]

Window shopping in Dongdaemun, Seoul

Fri, 13 May 2011 17:29:00 +0000

I just noticed that we had quite an eventful second day in Seoul from the interesting National Museum of Korea and food hunt in Noryangjin to Gwangjang market. The only place that smeared our itinerary, is unfortunately the highly anticipated Dongdaemun. Note that this is only in my opinion because I was looking for a […]

Gwangjang Market, Jongno-5-ga,Seoul.

Tue, 10 May 2011 15:32:00 +0000

Say what you may, but I’m totally merciless when it comes to food. I’m glad that Korea’s weather in early April had been very cold, made me burn the calories faster and I was eager to draw a tick on my food list – 3 full pages of A4 papers. A good place to hit […]

Awesome Lunch at Noryangjin Fish Market

Sun, 08 May 2011 13:21:00 +0000

Noryangjin Fish Market is probably the highest peak of our food adventure in Seoul, Korea. In fact, CS has keep on saying, “Let’s go back to Seoul again next year, ok? I wanna go Noryangjin again!” for the past few weeks. The reason? The abundance of live seafoods, some we had never or even know […]

Seoul Trip Day 2 – National Museum of Korea

Thu, 05 May 2011 14:01:00 +0000

On our second day in Korea, we visited the National Museum of Korea, the 6th largest museum in the world – that surely means something. It was a 10 minute walk from Ichon subway station and we don’t have to find the place as hard as anywhere because.. we were accompanied by a hell lot […]

Two Two Chicken at Myeongdong, Seoul

Sun, 01 May 2011 13:38:00 +0000

I have never heard of Korea being famous for fried chicken but after reading some Korean food blogs, I was convinced to put fried chicken in my priority list. Some mentioned that Two Two Chicken serves one of the best ones and for that, I tried searching for its list of branches’ address but failed. […]

Seoul Trip Day 1 – Namsan Park and Myeongdong

Sat, 30 Apr 2011 12:12:00 +0000

Namsan Tower, or some known as N Seoul Tower is situated at top of Namsan Park. We were devastated to find out that 2011 winter had been too cold that the cherry are not going to blossom after all. So, instead of perfect spring view we were greeted with dried and heartless trees at Namsan […]

Seoul Trip Day 1 – Bukchon & Gyeongbokgung

Thu, 28 Apr 2011 16:58:00 +0000

It is time for me to share my trip to South Korea, specifically Seoul which I did 3 weeks ago. Ah… I miss Seoul… We really had a good 6 days time even with the large language barrier and malfunctioning of my sense of direction. We woke up in Kara Motel, feeling groggy from the […]

A review of Kara Motel, Seoul

Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:50:00 +0000

You might probably ask, what the hell am I doing in a motel! When I got into a forum and asked about affordable accommodation in Seoul, a few helpful Koreans suggested that I look for a ‘motel’ instead of ‘hotel’. I grimaced at this suggestion because we all know what motel usually means in Malaysia. […]
