I will be back, Korea

Some of my favourite Korean celebrities, these are photos of them on tv, I watched some Korean shows in my hotel room and even though I couldn't understand what they were saying, it was still funny!

I stayed for a total of 5 days in Seoul, and while I got to do most of the things that I wanted to do, there are some things that I will have to wait and do the next time I am back in Korea, and I know for sure that I'll be back there! hehehe....

The traffic in Korea is really horrible, so subway and walking are usually best.
Korean sewing techniques are really good, these pillows are just small enough to fit under your neck for when you lie on your back.
Coffee houses are really popular in Korea now, everywhere I went there were small cozy coffee houses where you can just spend a couple of hours catching up with friends or study. And see those cakes that are in the shape of a cup of mocha or cafe latte? Ipudah!

Checklist for next visit to Korea:
- visit sauna and wear funny towel hats, eat hard boiled eggs and drink their drinks... maybe even sleep there for a couple of hours... hehehe

- find those ice cream where they eat it out of a tube
- stay at a guest house or a Hanuk (Korean Home), so that I can sleep on the floor and cook in a huge black pot using firewood! hehehe...

- do A LOT MORE shopping! (have to find ahjumma pants, nice boots, bags, earrings, food etc etc.)
- visit other cities and provinces in Korea: I want to go paragliding in Hapcheon, visit some farms and orchards, and learn to cook Korean dishes!
My dad took a lot of funny photos of me, I don't think they were on purpose, it's just he always took photos when I was talking... LOL...

Jen, Remember when Andy and Solbi went to the snooker place? Look what I found! We went to one to borrow their washroom... however it was all old men in there... =P
If you're planning a trip to Seoul or other parts of Korea, you should definitely visit the Korea Tourism or Seoul Tourism website, they have loads of useful information and it's pretty easy to navigate. Another thing I like is that there's NOT TOO much information so that you won't get confused as to what to choose to see... Of course, the best thing is to have a Korean friend who can show you around.... hahaha....

Or another thing that I hope to be able to do is to stay in Korea for a really long time and just take my time traveling from city to city, village to village, that way I can just wander around without a set route and discover more surprises!

my mom slept a lot during our trip... hehe...
