Picture from me Korea trip

Right here is the first day i got to korea suppose to be a fort around the city during the olden days to keep to mogolian from coming from the sea. Now the city is build between this very long wall. Forgot what the city name is called but Samsung is suppose to be base here.

Here is where me and my mum took a shoot on a tree that is suppose to be a good luck charm. Write your wish on a paper then tie it around the tree like u see behind me. Didnt manage to write any hehe they ran out of paper.

This is where the emperor sleeps. Went to the Korean version of a palace. Almost look like the one you normaly see in China. Korea use to be under China control so there is alot of chinese influence in this country and yeah they dont really like chinese people....

Right this place here is a theme park call wonderland. Think of it as a korean version of disneyland. Very beautiful place, cant really enjoy the ridez since its pack with student. October is a month where school kidz have out door activity. Yeah the girl beside me, its my sis. Somepeople in the tour group actually thought im her boyfriend. How unfortunate haha.

Nice looking tree hehe. Not mistaken im in this old buddisht temple. Along the way you can see small stack of stone. Young and old will stack the stones up and make a wish on it like a mini tombstone. Suppose to bring good luck, done one for myself. On top of the hill where the temple is located is a big giant buddah face carft out from the hill itself. Manage to climb up to see it mind u its 400 steps. Since the tour only consist of old people lol im the only one climbing up.

Thats me cycling along these path way. Im in a place call Nami island. This is where the famous Korean daram Winter Sonata was shoot that suppose to turn everyone GU GU over korean. The island itself is very small around the size of a housing area. You can camp there or stay at the hotel there. Yeah the bicycle im riding cost me around 20 ringgit for 1/2 hour.

I would say only the long path with the pine along the way makes these place look nice. Actually look more superb during winter time.

My sis again, we're at the national museum i think. Dont really rememeber the name since our tour guide only talk mandrin and she a korean. Right those statue there are the 12 animal zodiac just like the one for chinese.

Ohhh the mesuem actually covers the royal place too. This building behind me is on every WON (korean currency) background if not mistaken. It was use by the emperor takes his guest to party. A very improtant place it seems, guess must be the partying part that is important.

Right this shot is funny, suppose to be taking the whole royal place. End up Susan was walking pass. Not deliberate. As u can see there is school kidz everywhere.

Right finaly at the airport in seoul. time to go back to Malaysia. Cant really stand eating kimchi all the time. Took a picture with our tour leader Susan. Overall pretty fun trip but was the tour could have been more fun if there is much more young people around.
