Korea - Day 2

Since it's already daylight, I finally get to see Korea clearly. It was a very beautiful country. It's not squeaky clean but you can't see rubbish lying around anywhere, unlike Malaysia...

The tour guide, Jinnie Kim says it's rush hour in Seoul so we need to leave early as we're are catching a plane to Jeju-do. When we were getting near to Seoul, I asked her where's the traffic?, she says 'This is the rush hour'. We laughed and told her wait till you come to KL and see how bad our rush hour is.

We visited the Namsangol Hanok Village, the traditional Korean village. It's a setting of an ancient Korean town. We get to see 2 men performing martial arts for a photog. we also get to see the ancient kimchi 'refrigerator'



After that we went to Itaewon for lunch at a local halal arab restaurant. Very near to the National mosque in Seoul. There were many halal restaurant along the roadside heading to the mosque.

Later, after lunch we made a quick stop at the War memorial museum. the first thing we saw was the huge Taegukgi statue. The symbolic icon of the Korean war. The movie Taegukgi was inspired from the statue.



Then we make our way to the Gimpo International Airport heading to Jeju-do. We'll be staying there for 2 nights. At the airport, a bit chaos happened. The flight was delayed because of us. The personnel at the check-in counter had trouble entering our name into the system. Maybe because most Korean name are very short. The tour guide spent almost 45 mins correcting all our names. After check-in we rushed to the plane, smiling sheepishly because the flight was delayed due to misunderstanding.
