PART 1 ~ Seoul ~ Korea

DAY 1 (19/10/2013)

Alhamdulillah..Kami sampai Incheon Airport jam 7.15 pagi. Excited giler pijak bumi Korea! Lepas dari imigresen, amik luggage.

(Thank God...We have arrived at Incheon International Airport 7:15PM. We are so excited once we stepped on South Korea ground. After we have pass through the Immigration, we were straightaway took our luggage.)

 

 Kena naik train nie untuk ke tempat luggage..kat sini jumpa rombongan dari Malaysia. Ada yang tegur. Ada yang sombong..huh

(We have to take this train just to take the luggage. Coincidently, we have met some Malaysian tourist group too.  Some are so nice and kind and some are not… Huh!)

 

 Kat sini pun ada gambar idols..
(There were Korean Idols photo everywhere ^_^)

Nie beg untuk 4 orang..lom balik lagi dah banyak beg nie.. ^^

(This  were 4 persons bag. This is the beginning, you will see our bag once we are packing up to return back home. Hehe…)

Kami lepak kat lobi sambil layan Banana Milk. Macam trademark bila sampai kat Korea kena minum banana milk nie..Sambil tu beli T-Money kat 7eleven.T-Money nie selain korang gunakan untuk bayar subway..Ia boleh digunakan untuk bayar tambang teksi, bas. Korang juga boleh guna untuk membeli barang-barang. Menarik bukan?..Aku isi 30000 won. Jika korang tak gunakan subway banyak atau korang tak berjalan banyak tempat, tak perlu isi banyak dalam T-Money tu.

(We were just hanging around while drinking Banana Milk. It’s trend for a tourist, I guess when you arrived at South Korea, you have to have a taste of Banana Milk. While drinking the Banana Milk, I bought a T-Money at the nearest 7-Eleven. Besides, you are using T-Money for Subway, you can also uses it for Taxi pays and bus charges. You can also uses T-Money to buy things. Attractive, am I right? So, I just top up for 30 000 won.  If you are not using Subway and not travelling lots, you don’t have to top up so much inside your T-Money.)

Seperti yang dijanjikan, Park Il Kook dah sampai. Actually, aku ngan dia dah lost contact sejak bulan 4-5 yang lepas, tapi sehari sebelum nak bertolak ke Korea, dia mesej aku balik nak amik kitorang..Miracle kan?

(As promised, Park II Kook has arrived. Actually, we were both have already lost contact for almost 4-5 months ago but a day before I travelled to South Korea, He texted me to picked up our things. Miracle, isn’t it?)

 

Park Il Kook ^^

Kebetulan lak hari nie ada fansign T-ARA.Member sorang nie hard core fans T-ARA.Tapi kami balik Bangrang Hostel dulu untuk check in dan letak beg.

(Fortunately  today, there were a fansign for T-ARA group. One of my friends, is a T-ARA die-hard fans but before we go to the T-ARA fansigning, we have to check in at Bangrang Hostel first to kept our luggage first.)

 

Bangrang Hostel

Bangrang Hostel berdekatan dengan Chungjeongno Station. Kalau guna subway. Sampai ja Chungjeongno Station. Korang exit 5. Pergi sebelah kanan korang, akan lalu deretan kedai sampailah korang nampak simpang kiri, korang masuk. Ia agak berbukit. Tapi di Korea, kebanyakan tempat adalah berbukit. Memang normal. Korang kena ada stamina untuk berjalan-jalan di sini. Pada yang tak boleh nak jalan banyak & berbukit, korang carilah GH atau hotel yang seperti yang korang nak.Takpun guna travel agency yang menyediakan kemudahan transport.Pegi balik naik kereta. Semua terpulang pada kemampuan duit korang..

(Bangrang Hostel is just near to Chungjeongno Station. If you are using subway, you will surely safely arrived at Chungjeongno Station. After that, take exit 5. Go to the right hand side, you will walk through shoplots until you saw a left junction. Until you some small hill. For your information, most of Korean roads, there were lots of hills. It is just too normal here and you need a really tough stamina to walk up the hill. For those you could not climb the hill road and could not walk a lot, you may search for a GH or a hotel as your requested. Or maybe you can uses some travel agencies services  which provides transportation for travel. It’s all depends on your budget travelling..)

 

Chungjeongno Station

Dengan bantuan Park Il Kook, sampailah tempat tu & dia blh beratur utk hi5 ngan bebudak T-ARA tu, kat situ jadual itinerary dah lari, kami ajak Park Il Kook utk makan tengahari sebab lapar giler,takkan nak tunggu kat situ lak kan?..sejuk kot..

(With helped from Park IL Kook, we have arrived at the place where T-ARA fansigning was held. My friend has gone to line up just to get some hi5 with T-ARA girls. This is where our planned itinerary ruining for certain hours. So, we asked Park Il Kook to hanging out with us for lunch coz we are already too hungry. We can’t wait for too long right there. It’s too cold...)

 

Park Il Kook bawa kami ke restoren yang tak besar mana. Meja pun ada 3 mcm tu, tapi ramai giler pelanggan.Orang ramai order bungkus.Kami order yang nie..Kimchi kedai nie memang terbaek pernah aku rasa.Siap tambah ok..^^

(Park Il Kook brought us to have some lunch at some Korean ordinary restaurant. So, we ordered as the picture shown below. This is the best kimchi I ever tasted. I have double for that. ^^)

 

Lepas makan, kitorang ada bungkuskan kimbab buat member yg beratur tu. Kitorang pegi, dah settle, bukan main happy lagi. Rezeki dia, hari pertama kat Korea dh jumpa artis pujaan. Lepas tu, Park Il Kook bawa ke Kwang Jang Market. Kat sini terkenal ngan pancakes & byk barangan dijual di sini dari barangan basah hingga lah kain baju.

(After we have done eating, we bought a kimbap just for one of our friend who are still lined up for T-ARA girls. So, once we have arrived to her, the fansigning had just finish. She is super HAPPY!!! This was her best luck after the first day came to South Korea. After T-ARA  fan signing, we straight away went to Kwang Jang Market . This is where the famous pancakes been sold and you can found out lots of things to buy too)

 

 Pelbagai jenis kimchi ada dijual..

(Various kind of Kimchi)

 

 Pemprosesan bagaimana membuat tepung kacang dan dijadikan pancakes..

(This is how they processed the nut flour to make the famous pancakes)

 

Kami masuk ke salah satu kedai nie, kami makan seafood pancakes & vegetable pancakes. Tapi seafood pancakes lagi sedap.

(We went to one of the shop which sold seafood and vegetable pancakes but I prefer Seafood Pancakes rather than Vege Pancakes)

 

Member aku beli kain cotton kat sini.Actually corak biasa-biasa ja, tapi bila beli dari Korea, memang nampak exclusive lah kan..^^

(One of my friend bought a cotton cloth while shopping at the market.  Actually the design is just too ordinary but when you bought it from South Korea, of course it’s look like some exclusive cloth, right? ^^)

 

Park Il Kook ada hal,jadi kami balik guesthouse.Tapi aku sempat hadiahkan tulisan tangan Khat nama dia. Pastu aku hadiahkan beg mengkuang untuk mak dia.
Guesthouse kami nie dekat dengan Chungjeoungno Station.So far, bagi aku not bad, cuma kalo korang nak selesa..amik bilik yang private bathroom..so,kalo korang nak lelama dlm bilik air pun takde hal.
Lepas kami kemas apa yang patut, rehat jap.
Malam kami pegi Hondae. Nak pegi Hondae kena naik train menghala Ahyeon & turun di Hongik Univ. station. Kat sini memang happening. Ramai orang muda lepak kat sini. Bila malam lagilah ramai manusia. Dalam dok meronda tu, kitorang jumpa juga dengan Restoren HaHa, salah sorang ahli Running Man, tapi dia takde sebab dia ada kat Singapore, maybe esok balik lah.
Kat sini ada macam pasar malam, akan jual macam-macam dengan harga yang takde mahal sangat.Kami sempat beli snow cap ngan HaHa cap.

(My Korean friend Park Il Kook has to went home early as him has another appointment to attended.  So, we decided to go to our guesthouse. I gave him souvenirs for him as a gratitude for helping us around. I  had gave him a “Khat” writing and a Mengkuang Bag as for his mom. So far, as for me the guesshouse is not bad but if you need comfortable situation, you may requested a room with a private bathroom.  After we took some nap, cleaning up ourselves, we decided to go for Hondae. To go Hondae, you need to take a Subway train straight to Ahyeon and stop at Hongik University Station. Here, the situation is so happening.  There were lot of younger generations like to hanging around at the area.  While we were sightseeing, we bump into HaHa Restaurant, who is one of Running Man members. When we were there, we been told that his not at this restaurant as he had to go to Singapore for some events and maybe will be back tomorrow. Hondae is just a night market like we used to go at Malaysia. We took a chances to bought HaHa’s cap and snow cap.)

 

 Sangsangmadang nie pernah Running Man buat penggambaran di sini. Restoren HaHa bersebelahan dengan bangunan nie..cuma tersorok ke dalam sikit.

(Sangsangmadang. This is where one of Running Man shooting place has been done.  Haha’s Restaurant is just near at the corner.)

 

 Restoren HaHa ^^
(Haha’s Restaurant ^^)

Lepas tu, kami balik singgah makan di kedai dekat ngan GH, kami makan Mee Udon, mmg terbaek lah sejuk2 nie makan masakan panas.

(After that, we drop by at a shop to bought  Udon Mee which is so delicious on a cold weather near our GH.)

Udon Mee & Nasi Goreng Kimchi...so yummy! ^__^

(Udon Mee and Fried Rice Kimchi.)

 

Lepas makan, balik tidur.

(After eat, we went back to our Guest House and slept.)

 


DAY 2 (20/10/2013)

Kami ke Myeongdong untuk jumpa kawan Korea, Terry Won..dah sampai Myeongdong, kami ambil peluang beli album yang kami minat. Kami bermasalah untuk online, dengan bantuan Terry, kami dapat maklumat yang penerbangan geng Running Man akan sampai malam nie.

(We went for Myeongdong for a next day to met a Korean friend, Terry Won…  Once we have arrived Myeongdong, we straight away looking for a Korean album to buy.  When we were there, we could not get fully access to use the internet, so by some helped from Terry, we have found out that  Running Man Members flight will arrived at night.)

 

 With Terry Won ^__^

So, next mission is go to Incheon Airport. Jam 6pm kitorang dah gerak. Kami sampai Incheon dalam jam 8pm. Diorang akan sampai dalam jam 9.30pm. Masa kami sampai mmg xde sapa.Kami yang paling awal sampai.

(So, the next mission is…went back to Incheon Airport. When we went there at 6PM and it took 2 hours to arrived there. We have arrived there at 8PM.  We heard that Running Man members will arrived at 9:30PM.  The time when we arrived, I found out that there were nobody waiting and surely we were the one who arrived early.)

 

Alhamdulillah, diorang sampai..cuma Kim Jong Kook yang tak balik, hanya manager dia ja sampai. Kawan-kawan aku dapat bergambar ngan Gary ngan HaHa personal lagi. Aku nie leh tak pergi nak bergambar. Rugi sangat rasanya.Adeh...

(Thank GOD! They were arrived… but only Kim Jong Kook did not arrived. I only saw his manager who came back. Both my friends have the chances to took a personal picture with Gary and HaHa and I did not know why I did not go and took a picture with them.  So wasteful… Aigooo…)

 

Layan jer lah gambar-gambar yg sempat diambil masa diorang sampai.

(Enjoy watching those pictures that had been taken by me once they have arrived.)
