It was an awesome Korea trip ever and all of that started with our heavy backpacks that need to be brought throughout the day in Busan. we faced another problem as we could not pass through the ticket reader unless someone helped us because our One Day Pass broke down. This situation kept going until the staff fixed the pass for us. It was so challenging when we must climb the mountains to Beomeosa Temple and we took break several times until reaching the top. Besides that, we got lost on our way to Busan Tower but at last we found the entrance. Again, we must climb hundreds of stairs.

We arrived in Seoul by train for next day and we headed straight to Itaewon Mosque for bath since we got our last one in Malaysia. Then, we went to Nami Island and all of us got amazed with the beauty of the scenery. We had street food as dinner in Myeongdong and we got crazy over the cosmetic products sold here. They were two times cheaper than in Malaysia and there were variety of choices too.

For the third day, we spent a whole day in Everland and experienced T express, the steepest roller coaster. It was terrible experience as it was like facing death during the ride because the liver, heart, brain and everything were likely pulled out from the body. It was sure to be my first and last roller coaster ride ever, and I never ride that even for free. On our way back, we wrongly took 36 stations bus trip to Seoul Station and it was almost 3 hours ride. Along the ride, we slept so soundly and my friend did not realize that she lost her T-money card. It was our shopping day in next day and we got everything for family and relatives from Gwangjang Market, Namdaemun Market and Dongdaemun MARKET. We grabbed Korean cotton cloth, beautiful brooch and souvenirs.

We went to Ewha Women University on the fifth day and had the opportunity to get fashionable bags. This university was so popular for serving women apparels. On the sixth day,we went to Itaewon Mosque again for bath before train back to Seoul because we already checked out from guesthouse this morning. Unfortunately, half hour before departing, we lost the train tickets. We immediately asked help from the tourists centre, but sadly, the staff could not reprint the tickets for us due to some policies so she wrote us a note that telling we were the real passengers. Still, we were so worried about the tickets it seemed that riding train without real tickets was scarier than having zombies with you (Train to Busan Movie). We were so grateful that we safely arrived in Busan. Without wasting our time, we continued explored to Gamcheon Cultural Village.
After that, we went to Taejongdae Park. Unfortunately, we need to climb the hills again, as the train did not operating due to bad weather. We were very disappointed, and slowly started climbing the hills. We stunned at the top seeing beautiful view of the blue ocean. All tiredness faded away and we enjoyed so much even it was already noon. On our way back to guesthouse, we tried patbingsu (shaved ice dessert topped with red bean).
Subhanallah ! Scenery super suuppperr amazing. Even kiteorang terpaksa panjat bukit hampir nak give up. |
Finally, we got the chances of trying Korean traditional costume, Hanbok at our guesthouse, since we missed it at Namsan Tower. Thanks a lot to our guesthouse owner, Busan Sukbat.com, we loved your services during our stay. It was time for back home and we enjoyed so much on this trip. We also did our Korea diary in video, and if you have time, please watch and enjoy! https://youtu.be/rbPSiJ9L9Ng
