2015 January: Seoul

I think i am so crazy about South Korea that i would go on there again after only six months XD Let's check out where i have been to this time :DDDD

 1) Teteru Museum. It is a teddy bear museum originally in N Seoul Tower, and now it moved to MyeongDong. This museum is quite small i think, but it is good place for you to take a rest. There are also cafe and teddy bear shop on the upper floor.
Here is the official website : http://www.teterumuseum.com/

 2) Mecenatpolis. It is a newly built shopping mall near Hongdae. The shops there are not very special but the structure of mall is quite creative. You can visit there if you have time.
More information from this blogger about this shopping mall:

 3) Nami Island. It is a famous island due to the TV drama, Winter Sonata. I like the views there so much. But the island actually quite big while i have planned to spend 3-4 hours only, i have not walk through the whole of it. I will go here once again next time for sure :>

 4) Petite France. I guess most of you will recognize this place as many Korean TV dramas and variety shows are  shot here, for example 'You From The Stars' and 'Running Man'! This village is really beautiful and the things of Le Petit Prince are everywhere!! However, it is so small that you can just spend an hour to go through it.

 5) Morning Calm Garden. I believe that this place is relatively strange to you guys, but i think it is the most amazing one! Owing to winter, the plants withered and the garden will light up the lightings at night. I was shocked with those gorgeous lighting, i cannot help but keep shooting photos even i was nearly freezing to death!!!!

* For both Petit Prince and Morning Calm Garden, remember to download the forth coupon handbook in the below website so as to gain a discount of the entrance fee:)

 6) It is one of the biggest aquarium in Seoul, which is in the COEX shopping mall. For me, i have never been to an aquarium except for the Ocean Park and i do not really love the sea animals. However, this aquarium totally changed my mind with its creative decorations just like the second photo! You should definitely come visit once!!!

 7) Hangang Banpo Bridge. During the planning of itinerary, i have found that there will be spotlight performance every night. Therefore, my friend and i arrived there at 7pm and wait until nearly 8pm!!! There is even no people but COLD WIND, and i think i have been fooled :(

 

i should have seen something like that in this video :/

8) Some Sevit. This has just opened since 2014 October. It is a new spot near the Hangang Banpo Bridge. You better come here at night so you can enjoy the changing colour of light on the surface of the buildings.

It is a lot of fun to travel to Korea, i will never be sick of going there again and again XD

What's the pity is that there was snow but very cold until the day i left!!!!:@ I think i am fooled again :/

2014 August: Macau

Although Macau is so near Hong Kong, it was the first time i travelled to there. This trip is all about eating!!But the most surprising part was that, the food is not that cheap :(

These are the meatballs just as the one we ate in Hong Kong and it costs $8x

 This is 'Sweet Agar-Agar'. Though we can eat it in Hong Kong, but this is much tastier:)

Serradura

'Double-layer milk'

Apart from eating, i had also been to the famous spots in Macau.

 This is Leal Senado which is the most famous place. The buildings here are really gorgeous that full of Western culture.

 You cannot say you have been to Macau if you skipped visiting the Ruins of St.Paul. This is a great architecture that you cannot miss it! But what's the pity that there is too many people there.

The Venetian is also a must place to visit if you are going to Macau. It is just like another world when you go into there. And when you walk around there, you can always hear the song singing by the rower on the boat. However, for me, this place is just like a maze that i cannot remember where is where. Even i almost got lost there :/

It was still a nice trip to visit Macau once, but aside from the spots, it made me quite disappointed that there are no something special to look at. I think i would only visit Macau again until 21( the age allowed to get into the casinoXD)

2014 June, Seoul

Finally, it's my turn to go on a trip with my friend last year!! With no doubt, my friend and i chose Seoul in S. Korea as our destination. I was very excited as we had to plan the itinerary by ourselves.

After we arrived, our first stop was.......................

To experience the Korean Spa!! I am very interested in it when i watch the artists doing this on the TV show.

 And of course, it is NECESSARY to try the eggs and drinks there XD
This one is The Dragon Hill Spa. It is very grand and big one, and here is the website: http://www.dragonhillspa.co.kr/zh-hans/ 

And this video is also talking about this spa, you may also take a look at it XD

After having a spa to relax ourself, it is time to go shopping!!!!!!!!

Here is MyeongDong, the famous shopping paradise for both the local and the tourists. It is as crowded as MongKok every night there.

 On the next days, my friend and i went to many famous and interesting spots in Seoul.

 1) Cheonggyecheon, it is a river located at the central of Seoul. Many people would go down to have a walk there. It is a popular open space that you can easily see many locals sit down and chat with friends for a whole afternoon.

2) 3D museum, i think most of people would know what a 3D museum is, and even there is one in HK now. The pictures there are really amazing that my friend and I spent most of the day to take photos XD
There are many 3D museum in Seoul, and this is the Alive Museum in Insadong. Here is a website about it: http://cn.konest.com/contents/spot_detail.html?id=6811

 3) Gyeongbokgung, it is a palace in Korea just like the Forbidden City in China. You can truly feel the life and culture of the Korean in the past days.

 4) N Seoul Tower, it is on the top of the mountain, Namsan, and so we had to ride on a cable car to go to there. But the interesting part is, most of the Korean prefer walk up the stairs. I guess it is the reason why they are relatively healthier than people in the other countries.

 5) It is a village that each wall is painted with different fabulous mural. It is very beautiful and creative that i surely cannot feel the same in HK.

After this trip, Korea did not disappointed me with her food, culture, views, people, etc. This trip only made me love Korea more and more, and i would definitely go to there again if i have a chance.

Hope you will also be interested after seeing my sharing of this trip :D!!!
