Seoul

I was having company trip to Seoul last week Friday to Monday (Oct 24-Oct 27). It was fun! Fun coz I can get to know other colleagues better. I just know that there are also fun guys in my company. Nice! We can't stop chatting in the office now.

We were guided by Cola Tour, and our tour guide in Seoul was Mina. She's cute little middle-aged woman but still very active. She taught us several Korean words and it's very easy to memorize in her way. Very funny.

First two nights, we stayed at an European style hotel (or motel? unsure) at the suburbs. So, it's kinda quiet there. It only got a 7ELEVEn and several bars and teppanyaki restaurants around. But never mind, coz we always got home late at night, we also don't have too much time enjoying around.

It had been dark when we arrived at Incheon airport, plus the long and slow immigration line.. wew.. exhausted. As soon as everybody finished the immigration and baggage, we were going to eat ginseng chicken soup. Delicous leh.. i really like it. I like the rice fillings inside the chicken. And the chicken is very delicate. And the ginseng wine that was added into the soup. Uugh.. wanna have one again. We got to our hotel by then.

The weather in Seoul is damn cold now. It's already like winter in Taiwan. In this autumn days, Taiwan is still hot like summer, man! Second days, the weather is dropping again. We're going to 大長今 shooting place and Everland park today. I don't like 大長今, coz I never watched the serial before, so I don't have any special interest with that place. But Everland is great! The atmosphere is very fun and high. The park had been decorated with Halloween theme, so much fun. I would highly recommend the floral park in Everland, coz it's very cozy and lovely there.

Third day was the day that we started feeling like being in Korea. We visited 華城, 景福宮, and 仁溪川, very beautiful. And! We get a chance to experience the making of 泡菜 (Korean salted vegetables) and also the korean dress!! The korean dress is so elegant i think.. hehe

Fourth day was the shopping day. We were brought to Korean official Ginseng store, 水晶店, snack store, EWHA, and cosmetic shop. Then we flew back to Taiwan.

My impression on Korea (esp. Seoul):
1. Beau... what can I say except that.. esp that I went there in autumn when leaves are yellowish and reddish.. and the atmosphere is foggy.. so romantic!!
2. I like Korean style; clean, sleek, trendy, unique.
I think Korean ppl should stop the cosmetic surgery culture. They should start loving themselves. They're cool.
Korean men wear suits; that makes them very sleek, and even though suit is a formal clothes they can mix 'n match it into a very stylish piece.
3. Black square glasses frame. I don't see any frames other than that~ It's cool, though.
4. Express yourself anytime and anywhere. You can see girls dancing around on the road while listening to MP3, and also there's one of the waiter at Everland who danced so high while operating the ferris wheel. He's more interesting to watch than the ferris wheel. :)
5. Gothic church everywhere. They're all very catchy. You can see a lot of churches roof between buildings.
6. Sorry but for a foreigner like me, I heard the Korean talks like having a mouthwash.. hehe..

I really want to go there again, on my own of course.
