Late winter trip to Seoul #Part 2

Day 4(Feb 29)

Ktorang pergi Namsangol Hanok Village and Namdaemun Market. Perkara yang ktorang perasan hari tu adalah kat Seoul ni,die punye subway station punye design melambangkan apa yang menjadi speciality tempat tu. 

ni on the way pergi palace,maybe ni symbolic for historical places 

yang ni plak subway station dekat area university

Namsangol Hanok Village ni tempat collection of preserved traditional houses.

Namdaemun Market lak the largest traditional market in Korea..macam market kat Malaysia je. Barang2 kat situ serius murah! Kalau nak cari souvenir,cari kat situ je.

Day 5( March 1)

Nami Island!!-lokasi penggambaran Winter Sonata..excited je tapi tak tengok pon drama Winter Sonata..hak2.

Tempat ni sangat sesuai utk beromantik-romantik dengan sweetheart. 

That night,we went to Namsan Seoul Tower.

The view from up there was very very awesome.

We also entered Teddy Bear Museum which is located inside the tower. This museum aims to spotlight Seoul's rich history and highlight some of its most exciting trends today with teddy bears.

That's all for the fourth and fifth day.

Late winter trip to Korea #Part1

Alhamdulillah,finally sampai gak ke Korea..hoooyeah!!

Kami pergi berenam and sampai di Incheon International Airport 26hb Februari petang then teros naik van yang datang pick up,heading to Namsan Guest House, tempat kami stay selama 10 hari 9 malam. 

Awal2 tu ktorang tukar duit sikit dulu,cukup2 untuk transport and guest house. Dapat2 je duit korea,ehh kaler duit dorang same ngan duit kite la. Pastu yang 50000won tu lawa! hehe sayang pulak nak bagi orang.

Tapi sayang japanese yen da start turun waktu kitorang pergi sane T.T

Malam tu ktorang keluar makan,lapoo! Naseb baek ada satu group member ktorang yang tengah travel kat korea jugak ada kat area yang sama and dorang ajak makan.

Haa kire small gathering la ni sebab we all come from different parts of Japan. Dorang da nak balik da the next day tu. Ktorang pon ada blaja bahasa korea sket dengan dorang,yang penting pasal makanan. Kang duk seronok2 kat sane tapi duk masuk benda haram lak dalam perut ni.

Time nak beli makanan or minuman kat convenient store,automatik tengok part ingredients tapi pastu frust sebab tak paham langsung XD macam jepun jugak 100% dorang punye language.

Lepas makan ktorang jalan2 dekat Myeondong,dekaat sangat ngan Namsan tu just kene cross jalan je. Myeondong tu salah satu shopping paradise kat Seoul. Stall2 kat situ start beroperasi waktu petang dan sangat2 meriah waktu malamnya.

Second Day(Feb 27th)

The first tourist spot yang ktorang pegi is COEX Aquarium,the best domestic marine theme park. Macam-macam ada kat situ dan aquarium tu terletak dalam COEX Mall,the largest underground shopping mall in Asia.

Next spot ialah Itaewon,pusat culture and religions dari seluruh dunia. Restoran halal dan supermarket halal bersepah kot kat situ,memang heaven ah. Yang paling bangga ada masjid besar kat situ,tumpang bangga ye orang2 kat korea :)

Ramai non-muslim datang tengok masjid ni and dengarnya ramai jugak yang mahu belajar pasal Islam.Alhamdulillah. Semoga lebih ramai yang mendapat hidayah Allah. 

Day 3(Feb 28)

Kami ke 63 Square,salah satu lokasi penggambaran drama My Girl, where lee da hee's character said that lie that if you hold your breath and make a wish on the way up the elevator, it will come true when you reach the top, right? haha..ktorang try gak buat(saje2) tapi xdapat tahan sebab lama nak sampai atas tu.

Dalam 63 Square tu ada banyak attractions taw, ada 63 Seaworld,63 Sky Art Gallery,63 Art Hall and 63 Wax Museum.

Ktorang pergi naik subway tapi keluar2 je subway tu ktorg xtaw jalan nak pergi 63 Building tu. Ktorang tanya pakcik Korean tapi die jawab dlm Korean..haha.paham la sangat kan.

So,ktorg jalan je..on the way tu ternampak orang berhijab kat seberang jalan. 

Ktorang laung tnya kat mane 63 Building. Sanggup die cross jalan besar datang kat ktorg,rupe-rupenye die korean-thailand. Yang bestnye die tahu Malay!!Alhamdulillah Allah hantar orang bantu ktorg. Die pon xpernah pegi sane tapi die boleh bawak ktorg. 

First ktorang masuk 63 Wax Museum, a city of alive wax dolls.

Then,ktorg pergi 63 Sky Art Gallery,the highest art gallery in the world. Daripada situ,kite dapat observe beautiful view of Han River and the surrounding.

Next stop was Yeoido Park. Park yang sangat besar sepanjang Han River and famous for cycling.

                      Ok,setakat ini sajelah story for first,second and third day kat sane.

Tokyo Disneysea

The next day after sampai jepun akhir bulan 9 baru ni teros pegi tokyo disneysea.Direct dari airport lagi tu.haha.unplanned vacation. Sampai saje kat Jepun malam 29hb tu,dapat mesej dari sorang member.

"Weh,ak kat Chiba sekarang,jom pegi tokyo disneysea!"

"Hah?"

Then pikir2,ok jugak..alang2 da kat tokyo.Next time turun tokyo ntah bile la pulak kan.So kami pon setuju la join.

Malam tu terkandas kat Haneda Airport sebab xsempat amek bas and train.So esok2 pagi direct pegi sane.

I thought naseb baek hari tu weekday so tak ramai la orang. But I was wrong!Bapak ramai gile orang!!Terkejut i.Ntah bile la masenye yang orang xramai kat situ.

Berada dalam disneysea tu seolah2 berada dalam dunia lain..rasa cam dalam movie pon ada..hakhak.

Dapat masuk 6 tempat hari tu..ok la tu. Setiap tempat kne beratur lebih kurang sejam untuk masuk.seriously penat ok.Dah la tempat tu besar.Penat2 pon puas hati =)

Ada beberapa pesanan untuk sape2 yang nak pegi sane

* jangan pakai high heels..confirm pengsan.haha..saya yang pkai flat pon jalan tak betol dah at the end of the day

*bawak bento(bekal makanan)..sebab makanan halal susah dapat dalam tu

Excursion 2011 for international students

On February 19,this year's excursion,Masyitah and i went to Fukushima prefecture(kalau kt mesia mcm negeri la),joined by 43 international students and what surprised me was we were the only malaysian and we were the youngest,i thought. Others are mostly master and phD students.Ops I was mistaken about the only malaysian bcoz we met a chinese malaysian guy on this trip.He made us shocked when he asked us in Malay.We never knew about him living in Sendai before.

We went to Aizuwakamatsu city,located on the west of Fukushima prefecture and surrounded by mountains. What a great view on this journey.

Mount Bandai

When we reached there,we had our lunch first.Alhamdulillah it suited my taste.

tadaa!!this was our lunch..well this is a common food for me.
