Hi forumers! ^^ to those who havent went yet.. Palli ka!!!! XD me n my travelmates spent the whole saturday visiting places we planned to cover in 2,3days haha.. XD I've never walked so much in my life!!! We stayed at my korean friend's house in Gwangmyeong, on the outskirts of seoul.. The subway fare is dirt cheap yo haha.. Man I'm so happy its like im on a drug or something haha.. I personally feel that the best way to get to know a person's culture is by interacting with them, not just going shopping hehe.. It really broadens ur mind..

Well, enough rambling hehe XD We went to gyeongbukgung, bukchon, insadong, cheonggyecheon n myeongdong.. ALL by walking lol.. We just rode the subway from the house to anguk station and the rest is walking lol.. And lastly we rode the subway home from myeongdong.. God i love seoul!!!

We went to hongdae today.. Going back there another time at nite hehe.. Went to hello kitty cafe n took pictures at coffee prince cafe. Didnt watch that drama tho lol.. Went there with my omoni's friend's daughter totally girls day today hehe.. AND THE SHOES ARE CHEEEEAAAAAPPPPP!!!!! Sale that is lol..

Plan to make a blog when I get back XD

To much to tell, penat dh type lol~ cant wait to go to busan this thursday!!!

till then!

seems like u enjoy urself.. hehehe.. alamak still teringat peach tea yg teramat sedap kat COffee Prince SHop..

guys,

Can we bring our own food & drinks like those "air kotak" in our luggage (not carry on) when traveling to Korea?

what kind of food & drinks that is allowed/not allowed and do we have to declare it?

sry, kinda newbies here..

Based on my last visit, korea is not like australia. Their custom is not that strict, just fill up one custom form per family and pass it to them then you are free to leave already. Btw, why do we need to declare the food & drink?

but if u takut juz declare nia lo..last time i bring some meds for my gf in australia,juz declare..actually if dun wan declare also nvm,they juz let u walk thru nia..
but beijing very strict,they open up every bottle of ur mineral water n smell it..weird.lol

Thx minthiam. So basically just fill up custom form eh.. ok noted.

Thx oso michealy.. yeah, heard australia is a bit strict so bit afraid korea oso like that.. so that's why asking.. just as precaution.. better safe than sorry..

Also, how's the internet connection over there? Hope there's no site blockin over there.. hehehe.. just wanna use skype for calling back home..

wah, wah, wah...so exicited...show off ya

i can't wait for my korea trip

Yes, Australia very strict. I saw it with my own eyes when I went there. Pity the old lady. She must brought the food for her children.

Plane food also not allowed to their country. They said, plane food stay in the plane.

haha shazwina on super happy mood..
busan is different from seoul but it's still pleasant.. don't forget to buy strawberries there --> super cheap & super sweet

ah.. i really want to go to Korea again.. If only my boss will allow me to take 1 month leave so I can really enjoy kekekeke

Haha.. no worries dear... i will follow suit veryyyy SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNN..kkkk~~~

I don't know how but we Malaysian can smell each other from a far. Do you believe it or not, I met someone I knew from the forum when I was in Perth 2 years ago. We stared each other then walk a little bit, then stared again. After that I asked her if she this person, then she also asked me the same thing. Both of us laughed very loud in the middle of the street

lol..ini baru 1Malaysia.. mayb malaysian did hv the 'malaysian face'

Can anybody give recommendation on where is the best place to buy K Drama, Kpop album/dvd in Seoul??

Not so many choice here in Malaysia. So boring. There are plenty of movies/drama/songs I want to buy but they don't sell it here.

it's tru that kroean's regulation not that strict but they are certain things that you cannot bring into the country; for example you cannot bring meat into the country during winter.. my friend's bag has been tag with a big green tag.. and they took away her beef serunding (personally I think they want to taste it because they didn't throw it away) hehe

Note: do not spend your money to visit Teddy bear museum at Namsan Tower. All the teddies are mini size~ Should only spend for the tower & wait for the sunset.
