Anyway went there for the first time last year, and been there twice after, seriously Korea taken me by surprise. All i can say Korea is fusion. Its a mix of modern, traditional, Western and nature all mashed into this one all-in-one country.
When u go to Europe, the cities tend to look alike after awhile. Korea is like that too, but at the same time the cities that i went had different vibe in all of it. One thing for sure Korea is very safe, super safe. U can leave your belongings and it wont go missing. The food is good. The fusion or authentic korean food is yummy. Not a fan of kimchi still.
Gyeongju
During autumn Gyeongju is really beautiful. I stayed at Hyundai Hotel with the background of a lake and mountains. Really beautiful and peaceful.
*hint: my first date with my husband was here
Went to Bulguksa Temple which is Unesco Heritage Site takes my breath away.
U should come here during autumn. at least once.
And i luv the beach here, it is quite a drive but the beach here is gorgeous and i have a thing with the beach, maybe im just biased, the rocks at the beach is beautiful.
Busan
Lovely modern town with its own unique character. The Gamcheon Culture Village (Art Village) which looks like Santorini, is one of a kind. I love it here. Really good memories. Really sweet memories. Really colorful. My kind of quirky village.
Koreans are obsessed with coffee at most of the coffee places here are by the beach. Sipping coffee indoor as it is too cold, and having great conversation with great company is just perfect.
The bridge is also very pretty at night, cant remember the name of the bridge, walking and just do what most do: people watching :)
Seoul
Seoul Tower and the Love Keychains is cliche, but it reminds me of the Pont De Arts at Paris.. So please come and be cliched..
Itaewon, great walk, great people watching and lots of halal food and the only mosque is here. A big one :).. Come and pray here.
The War Museum, is simply awesome. Wish that i had more time here. Dont walk from Itaewon its too far. Take a cab, im pemalas u know.
Then go to Dongdaemun and shop for clothes. I went crazy there, but went with my husband, so mode crazy was on a behave mode.
Namdaemun is fun, lots of souvenirs and brooches and everything.. when it comes to shopping i cant write. Because my brain is not functioning.
Insadong is another art alley which i love as well.. Absorb the art and culture and u will be cultured :) *whatever right*
Gyeongguksa Temple in the middle of Seoul with the gardens, and changing of guards during the weekend is very interesting, but once is enough for me. The gardens and if the weather is nice, just sitting down by the gardens and chill.
Daejeon
Truth is when it comes to Daejeon, I cant write much, as i went there for work and to be with my husband. So the only thing i remember is cycling at KAIST and the side of the lake. Luv the coffee shop "Art De Espresso" I think at the national park. Went there for a hike, my first ever and subhanallah, lawa sgt eventhough i was semput already. Besides that, Daejeon is a nice university town, everything is there.
Enough about Korea, I think... Will update if i go to Jeju or skiing there one day. Btw, my husband is there. Im not a KPOP fan tau that i go there all the time.
