Six days at Korea wasn’t bad at all with great accompanies around. Thoughthe food may turn us off, yet I do enjoy throughout the whole week that we spent together at Korea. Flight took off midnight, family and threefourelse did come down to send me off. It was a midnight flight, and it seems like most of them get enough sleep except for me. I don’t know why, I tried so hard to sleep but can’t. I look at Kevin snoring all the way, it’s kinda irritating. I managed to get my two hour sleep after halfway watching Dear John.

By the time we reach Korea, I was extremely excited because I get to feel the Australia atmosphere again. Oh before that, we have to take sky train from where we depart the plane to the immigration centre. Cool enough right? Back on track, we straight went to the Namsangol Hanok Village. But the exhibition centre was closed, so we went to snap picture around the area for a while and of course it’s the perfect time to introduce myself to many of them (see not arrogant here). 



We went to N Seoul Tower after the Namsangol Hanok Village. It was tall and able to see the entire Seoul. It looks a little bit like KL Tower but it’s much better than that. The scenery was jaw dropping and the ride up the hill to the feet of the tower was amazing. We also have to climb up a steep slope before reaching the main door of the tower. I bought my first ice cream there and it’s called ‘Cheesecake Actually’. Yes, the environment is cold yet I do still need ice cream to add the extra chills. 

We were brought to our first nightmare lunch. Its seafood, at first thought I don’t mind because I do eat seafood. By the time we sat at the table and open up the dish, it’s weird. Some of it looks like a brain while some look like a twin egg and even worst some look like a small boy penis. Most of us were too disgust to try everything; even I give it a pass. 

After our lunch, we visited the MBC – which I have no idea what MBC stands for but it’s like Korean Mediacorp. We weren’t allowed to snap any picture on the top level, because they were on air. After the tour on the top level, we went to the basement to see the news centre studio but we were not on the news on that day. The bluescreen (not porn please) was something new as the bluescreen was being used for the weather forecasting. So now I know that the newscaster actually having fun pointing to the bluescreen instead of twisting the sun, rain and clouds.

The tour guide then drops us at the supermarket nearby to do some shop. I bought nothing there because the place sells nothing that caught my attention. Instead, we tried something by the street stall and it taste like an uncooked carrot cake. 
After we done with our supermarket shop, we were brought to Itaewoon area to have our dinner (strictly for halal). We were separated because the rest were having pork barbeque for the dinner (sound interesting right) but we Malays have Arabian dinner. It was better than the lunch that we had, no weird food being served. The eight of us took the chance to full our belly as much as possible because we know that will be the first and last halal food we will be served in Korea.
Since we had a long journey and without resting we start our journey to Namsangol Hanok Village, all of us were restless. Imagine long flight and suddenly we had to start our holiday without having shower and stuff. So they drove us back to Ellui Hotel (where we stayed there for 4 nights) and my roommate was this guy which I don’t know how to spell his name. He went to his friend room at night and I asked him to call the hotel phone once he want to go back to our room as I choose not to go anywhere that night because I’m plain restless. He called my cellphone, the hotel phone and rang the door bell numerous times. I didn’t open the door and he has to call the reception to help him open the door. I pity him because I failed to wake up though there’s a lot of sound going on around me. I was plain shocked to see him in the room the next morning; I cover myself with blanket and think and laugh.
