New Year in Seoul ... 2011

After the concert end, I was picked up by Do Kyung and Kim Yeon to celebrate New Year and off we go to Jongno or Bell Street, among the famous spot for celebrating New Year in Seoul. Every year, the bell at the Bosingak or Bell Pavilion is rung only at midnight on New Year's Eve. With concert and fireworks, everything almost the same as what we have in Malaysia but the bell, you can only find it in Jongno.

Actually i missed the bell... at the backgroud is the concert

Freezing, freezing, freezing, after the concert and celebrating New Year we are heading the nearest restaurant to have our supper and around 2.30 am we are on the road again on our quest to find norebang. Another got to do list you should try in South Korea.

Norebang or “karaoke Room” is a popular activity that korean love to do for fun or even for business purposes. And you can find Norebang almost everywhere and we end up at Su Norebang at Sinchon/Hongdae area. This Norebang is quite expensive as it’s been featured in many korean drama and popular spot for idols… 20,000 Won perhour .. Hell, it’s almost RM60.. hahah ..but the interior is worth the price and got Indonesia songs too. How bad i am as a singer? i got 0 marks for my singing... hehhe.. the machine can calculate your marks .. i hate that!!!

And our New Year celebration end around 4.30 in the morning when we are dragging our half frozen body to Miss Han’s house for a good rest before we kick our feet again for another day to explore Seoul.
