Seoul Trip 8th -12th March

Greeted with Shalom look alike in the house we staying

Finally I managed to step foot into Korea. Culturally I felt that I couldn't find any church, if makes me wonder where all my love for Korea went to. Until one day when I was travelling towards gyeongbokgong there was a preacher in his loud voice proclaiming a gospel in Hangul. I'm in awe, I"m like going back into olden time preacher where they speak in the subways. At least I got to see him doing that. Nobody actually stop to listen, as everyone is busy walking and heading to their destination, (fast pace life). I did not go towards him to say hi, as my sisters were walking quickly and I did not want to stop them. I shall do it the next time I go to Korea. I will make sure I know where the churches are with Soomin's help.

in Alive Museum, a very must for me in Korea. 

So this is the 1st time me and sisters get together and go for a trip out of Malaysia. I have been to Hanoi with Samantha before but not with Desiree and Samantha at the same time. It was a time for bonding and to know each others weaknesses and strengths. I'm thankful that we could contemplate each other and travel together. For me it is quite difficult to look at the train lines. Sam told me that there are more train lines in Japan than Korea. So I guess I should be thankful and just humbly learn how to go to places. I learn not to rely on others in this trip as well. Sometimes my sister may want to rest and ask where to go to.

1st meal in korea, Korean beef BBQ

On the 1st night Sam treated us with a BBQ beef in one of the local shops situated in Sin Seol-dong, a walk away from where we sleep in. Going to MyeongDong actually made me open my eyes to many many creative face and body products. I'm not really a fan of Korean face product, as I'm more of a Japanese face product fan. I guess it was no harm trying if it in made from herbs or stuff like that. I didn't dare to purchase anything besides just looking at their creativity in presenting and packaging their products. I do love Korea in general but prefer going travelling and exploring new things apart from just shopping. I guess the ultimate motive to shop there is just to get some souvenirs for friends and family.

In this trip, I felt that I have learnt to budget and to spend wisely, in fact I manage to have  20k won left in my pocket. I learn that I can get anywhere conveniently by using the Korail. As long as I do my research and chat with people on trip advisor. I would certainly stay in airbnb in my next trip or in any place around the world. Airbnb is a must for me. =) I guess staying in someones home is fun.
