During the holidays in May, my mother and I went on a six-day vacation to Korea. After six hours above the clouds, we landed at the Incheon Airport. During our stay in Seoul, we visited many tourist spots such as Yangju - MBC Studio (the most famous drama in Korea (Daejangguem) shooting place), Nami Island (the original site for the famous drama "Winter Sonata"), Mt. Sorak National Park (one of the most beautiful parks in Korea), Shinheung Fortress and the Sitting Buddha. We also took a ride in a cable car right up to the mountain and I tasted a live squid at Daepuhang fish market. It was quite an experience... ;p
One of the attractions that I enjoyed most was in Yongin Everland. It's a festival World Park which offers thrilling rides, jungle safari and seasonal flower shows. I took a ride on "Rolling X-Train". It has two massive loops and one gigantic cockscrew. The ride was awesome. I would have tried more rides if not for time constraint. The other places we went were Walker Hill Casino and Dongdaemun Market. The city attractions were Kyongbok Palace (built in 1394 - the main palace by the first king of YI Dynasty), Folklore Museum and Blue House (the presidential residence of Korea)
The next destination was a Ginseng outlet followed by an Amethyst Factory where I bought my sister a cross pendant, War Museum and Namsan Park (located in the center of Seoul with a panorama view of the city and Seoul Tower). We also shopped at Myeongdong (reputated to be one of Asia's largest open-air markets). It was at this place where we saw a korean guy holding up a poster written "Free Hugs" and several girls went up to hug him. The final destination was the Kimchi Center where I took some pictures wearing korean traditional outfit and had fun making kimchi. Overall, it was a splendid holiday. Oh, we also went for a korean martial arts comedy show entitled "Jump". It was super hilarious. Here's the link:-
