5D 4N in Korea

Day 1

We departed on 24^th Jan 2013 at 0100 and arrived on the same day at 0820. The time zone is 1 hour different with Korea 1 hour faster that Malaysia. So the flight takes 6 hours and 20 minutes. The temperature was 2 degree Celsius but it went colder. When we walked outside of the airport to the bus, there’s smoke coming out whenever we breathe out or talking! 신기하다! ㅋㅋㅋ The first place that we went was the museum and blue house.

Museum

Our first group picture in Korea :D

The Blue House at the back

But we’re just taking the pictures outside of the Blue House. When we walked back to the bus, there’s tiny snow falling! We lunch at Indian restaurant in Itaewon before went to Nami island, the Winter Sonata’s filming scene set. 

Enjoying 'Snow fight' in Nami island lol

There are a loooooooooooot of snow and the scenery is so beautiful! We went there by boat. I tried to eat snow too! ㅋㅋㅋ The weather went colder went we are on the way back from the island and the snow falls! :D After that, we went to Mount Sorak. We dine at a seafood restaurant before went to see the live fish market. We check in I’park hotel at 9pm. The wind blew strongly that it produced a scary sound at night.

My family can't accept kimchi taste! lol haha

Day 2

After breakfast, we went to Mount Sorak before went to cheese making session in sheep farm. Then lunch at a seafood restaurant. After that, we went to rent the ski clothes n googles before went to check in Yongpyong Resort. 

In Mount Sorak. So effing cold!

In front of sheep farm. Full of snow!

Last step of making cheese! put some pressure on it!

 We went to ride the gondola and the temperature up there is so cold, -18 degree Celsius! At 3.40 pm, we start our ski learning session and we had a great time together. But there’s something that ruin it when we knew that we have to return the ski equipment at 6pm.

Day 3

It’s my birthday! After breakfast, we went back to Seoul. On the way there, we went to return the clothes and goggles that we rented. We also went to kimchi making session and wearing hanbok too. After that we lunch at the same Indian restaurant in Itaewon before went to Lotte World, the second biggest theme park in Korea but we can’t played anything because there are a lot of people and the waiting time for 1 game was too long such as 1 and half hour, 2 hours and the longest one was 2 and half hours! I don’t think Malaysian are willing to wait for 2 hours just to play a 5 minutes game.

Kimchi Making Session

lol forgot to get rid the sunglasses haha

Next, we’ve got some shopping time in Doota and Mig Liore in Namdaemun. Doota sells designed clothes and stuffs but I’m not sure about Mig Liore because I didn’t go there. It is because I’m not in a good mood and was separated from my other siblings. Therefore I’m not exploring the Mig Liore and didn’t buy anything there. My siblings said that there are a lot of things with reasonable price there. After that, we went to check-in Co-op Residence hotel. The hotel is not as good as the first 2 hotels that we stayed and there’s no interesting place near there either. But I found ‘Yoona’ in front of a shop and we took picture together! XDDD

OMO i touched her abs! LMAO XDD

Day 4 

After breakfast, we went to watch the ‘talk show’. My family was so bored of it. LOL it was about ginseng, cosmetic and amethyst duty free shop. When we talk about duty free shop, the price is .___. 

waiting for the others in the lobby while twitting ㅋㅋㅋ

seaweed + corn soup lol

Then we went to Lady’s Street near Ehwa Women’s University. And there’s no souvenir shop either! OTL 

Lady's Street

At 3.30pm, we went to Sachoom Dance Show, Korean Dance Theatre. It’s not bad but the girls are so effing sexy! And the guys.. are not bad~ ㅋㅋㅋ Too bad that I didn’t manage to take a picture with my favorite dancer, the guy with orange hair.. OTL he stepped out of the picture-snapping area too early and I just missed him in 1 second! 

Sachoom's lead actor that full of aegyo

After that we went to shop at Myeongdong Street. It is also famous place for shopping, but not for souvenir. We went to ask the Tourist Information Centre about the location of souvenirs shop and they said it is located in Insadong. It is located almost 20 minutes (or the fastest 15 minutes) from Myeongdong Street by walking. But we didn’t go there as there’s not enough time. So we just stayed there and I bought 3 IGAB, Oh! and Twinkle albums in MusicKorea store. It is located on 3F in Nature Republic’s building. There are a lot of Nature Republic shops there. But the Musickorea’s store is located in the Nature Republic’s BUILDING, not shop. I went there because someone said that the price is cheaper there, but I think it is the same with the other kpop store there. We went back to hotel at 9pm.

Mission accomplished: Bought IGAB and Twinkle albums. :D

Myeong-dong

all 5 groups

Day 5

After breakfast, we went to another ‘talk show’, herb. After that the tour guide gave us 1 hour to last-minute shopping in Myeongdong Street, but we went to Insadong. There are a lot of souvenir shops there! 

Soshi took selca here before! >_<

Lastly, we went to airport and said goodbye to Korea on 28^th Jan 2013 at 1735. 

Goodbye, Korea!

We arrived safely at 2355. Oh, Malaysia is soooooooooooo hot! Hahahaha

Tiffany's True Story

Tiffany: The True Story of an Angel
This was one of the most requested reposts. Our main admin was able to find a working version of this from another person’s reblog.  Here is the true story of an angel that has walked unnoticed among us.

These are the sketches of an artist’s experiences, on real-life happenings while living in Seoul. This has been up for years but has only recently come into international prominence after being highlighted on national television by Mnet WIDE.

This is the true story of his encounter with the trainee “Stephanie Hwang”, before she became Tiffany of Girls’ Generation.

One cold winter, the artist stumbled across a drunk old man collapsed on the street. Concerned, he called for an ambulance and waited. 

Not concerned enough to forgo a smoke, he walked into the nearest convenience store for cigarettes while the old man continued to shiver on the sidewalk.

Some people passed by the man without a second glanec, some stopped and looked worried, but ultimately when the artist returned outside with his cigarettes and a can of warmed coffee, the old man was still cold and alone.

The artist stood waiting nearby, finishing his coffee and smoke, watching people pass by without helping the old man. Feeling cold and tired, he stood by the convenience store, wondering when the ambulance would arrive.

That was when a certain clumsy young girl with a beaming smile burst out of the store, rushing to the old man.

The artist watched as the girl gave the old man a warmed canned coffee for each of his hands, before taking off her own jacket to keep the freezing man warm.

And as though inspired by her compassion, passers-by stopped to help the girl keep the man warm, offering their kindness and whatever they could. Even the convenience store worker stepped out to help her.

The rest of the story, I think, will be better told by the artist:

SNSD Tiffany brings many of her fans inspiration as an idol.

But the true Tiffany that has been there since the 1st of August 1989, Stephanie Hwang, is just as inspirational. Her kind heart probably saved a man’s life that day, her selfless courage to help another person in need inspired others to be like her and find humanity in the concrete jungle of a city, while her infectious smile would leave a lasting impression on those that were present in that cold winter.

To know that there are people out there that faithfully follow the lessons of the parable of the Good Samaritan is another reason for us to regain faith in ourselves as a society. To know that there are those who truly practice what they preach should inspire us as both religious and non-religious human beings. To know that there are such small, yet so genuine gestures of altruism brings me great hope in our future.

In today’s world, those who help others so passionately might be considered a saint but those who inspire the innate humanity to come forth from others, whose warmth not only comforts the weak but ignites the compassion of others to do good… that takes an angel.

For me, to know that Tiffany had lived as one of the unnoticed angels that walk among us fills me with endless pride as a SONE.
