Travel Guide : Ke Korea ke kita?

Hanin Syaida Mohd Roslan. SPM 2014 9A+ InsyaAllah.

Masa semakin suntuk  bagi calon SPM 2014 seperti aku tetapi apa yang aku buat sekarang ni? Masih menaip blog. Hmm. 

Masa yang pendek ini aku pinjam untuk berkongsi dengan diri aku sendiri pengalaman manis di Korea. 

Bunyi macam bajet gila bila aku taip Korea. hmm. Biarlah. Harap maaf.

Intro : Aku sebagai photographer separuh masa. Separuh lagi ialah Azeera. *wink*

Almost all the time being there, we traveled either on feet, on train or by bus. 

Subway map sangat membantu and you can travel on your own with some help from the locals, insyaAllah.

* anda mungkin menghadapi sedikit kesukaran untuk berkomunikasi sebab the locals tak berbahasa inggeris. Mostly

And oh, you can buy tickets or public transit card (T-Money)

T-money = 10 000 won if not mistaken

But you have to recharge it before using .

We put our trust in Azeera to read the map and leads our way.

She did an excellent job and..tersesat sekali dua okaylah tu

This is the namdaemun market, the large traditional market where people pushes each other and the sellers were some friendly and some others quite scary.

 Biasalah tu. Malaysia pun ada. Souvenirs boleh beli di sini.

Ada orang jual baju t-shirt Korea murah. Lol

3 t-shirt = 10 000 won

Boleh try tawar menawar di market ini seperti di Malaysia, hahah

              '20 000 won,'

'18 000 won?'

                'No, 20 000'

'hmm..'

          'Okok.'

* macam dah biasa buat kerja ni. Ouch. Haha

This is The Gwanghamun Square. There was this big statue of King Sejong the Great and a booth were you can try on Hanbok and other Korean traditional clothes for free. You just have to leave your Id card or passport at the counter - untuk memastikan barangan mereka tak dikebas.

This is the Gwanghamun Palace. There were visitors like us swarming around the palace.

Katanya, inilah lokasi penggambaran cerita Korea ala-ala raja-raja semua tu. 

Admission fee:

Palace gate: free

Gyeongbokgung palace: 3000 won for adult, 1500 won for adolescent

*1000won = RM3 +/-

Inside the palace area.

The weather was fine since we came at the end of spring ( 14 degree celcius at morn).Agak breezy and the air was sharp.

 We were looking for the bus stop to go to the Namsan Tower.

The Namsan Tower. We had to walk up the hill to reach the Namsan Tower. It was nice and tiring. Worth it jalan naik bukit bagi orang muda macam kita ni. Ahaks.

The breathtaking scenery you can see before walking up the hill to Namsan Tower. Take a bus to reach here.T-Money card can be used.

The Namsan Cable Car from the Namsan Mountain. Adults (Roundtrip): Individuals 8,500 won / Groups 7,000 won Adults (One-way):  Individuals 6,000 won / Groups 5,000 won    Children (Roundtrip): Individuals 5,500 won / Groups 4,500 won Children (One-way): Individuals 3,500 won / Groups 3,000 won Kami ambil one way dari namsan mountain and travel down to myeondong. Ada subway di Myeondong but pening sikit nak cari. Hmm.  

This was a glimpse from the Namsan Cable Car Station at the base of the Namsan Mountain. Dah turun Namsan Mountain. Yeay!!

This is Itaewon where you can find Muslims and halal restaurants all over the place. 

The official branch that sells halal product is Salam.

 There were Salam Bakery, Salam Restaurants, Salam Mart and  things like that. 'Sopping' makanan puas-puas. Lol

The Seoul Central Mosque in Itaewon.

Anyway, this is us with our parents at KLIA 2 before flying to Korea. 

Alhamdulillah, we went back with gold award for the innovation exhibition. 

Applause for my teacher Nadira Ismail, friends: Azeera and Aina for their hardwork.

Note : We stayed at Coop Gangnam Residence in Seocho which was the best. Nearest subway station is gangnam station and nat'l seoul university station. Ada tempat masak lengkap dengan alatan. The price was 80USD per night. Pay in won. You can either book for duo room or master. Pick duo for family with average age children. Bilik sama besar cuma duo ada satu katil di tingkat bawah and another di tingkat atas which is quite rendah. Master ada sofa set di tingkat bawah and katil di tingkat atas yang berbumbung rendah jugaaaa.

sekian,
Assalamualaikum :)
