I still remember how eager i am to set my foot for the first time to South Korea after so much teaser given by watching Winter Sonata, All In, Full House etc.. Went to Matta Fair and sign up for Spring vacation in year 2007 with my friend Ika and Ika's collogue and Ika's collogue's cousin and another 6 - 7 new friends we embarked in our first ever trip with beautiful Nami Island and handsome Bae Yong Joon in mind! (erk.. i don't think the same anymore)
So, Our itinerary for 6 days and 4 nights :
Shopping : Myeongdong, Itaewon, Dongdaemun, Namdaemun
Sightseeing : Mount Sorak, Nami Island
Entertainment : Everland
Conclusion of my 1st trip. I don’t have fun. I believed that South Korea can offer me more than what i experienced while being there. Besides the beautiful places, i can't feel the connection between me and the people. And the food served to us also not to my taste. And i keep wondering what had been missing.. Oh, ya.. Bae Yoon Joon look a like.. I guess you can see them only in TV but not on the street … aishhhh
And after 2 years, changing the partners in crime's Ika who got married in the middle of planning and dreaming, itinerary who took 2 months to prepared, expensive ticket, beginner level Korean language, and la..la..la..(copying Miss Han) i got myself back to South Korea in spring 2010 with my sister to enjoy backpackers style of exploring South Korea.
