Korea... For Dream...

Korea. For the exact. South Korea.

Can you imagine about this? A country with a very strong culture but also technologically advanced. Yes, we can say Japan but yes, we talked about South Korea here ^ _ ^

Korea, a country which is called Han Country is being kicked off the world! :)  Its all happened because K-wave, spread of South Korean culture around the world. K-wave characterized by the proliferation of music performed by the musicians of Korean origin. The namja and yeoja celebrities (hot guys and cute girls in Korean) suddenly idolized in any country. Aside from music, K-wave also came from the Korean  movies and Korean dramas.

For me personally, Kwave made me 'know' korea. Make me to know much about the Korean country. Culture, language, food and others.

Annyeonghaseo. Anio, gamsahanmida.  Suddenly I just so smart talking in Korean just by watching Korean drama -well, it looks like that's all I can say-

One of my biggest dream is going to be there, Korea. And of course I have a list of what I wanted to do when I was there. Wanna know more? Check it out my list:

1. Eat a real kimchi! ^ ^

Of course, here in Indonesia, especially in Jakarta, there are several Korean restaurants and some of them I have tried. But i always wondering. WHAT real kimchi feels like? I mean, although I've ever eaten kimchi here . But i am not yet feel ther fresh and sour taste of kimchi. Ever watch Boys Over Flowers? There is a scene where Geum Jan Di (female lead role) making kimchi at home and eat diretly. Awww, LOOKS LIKE VERY FRESH!

And the best thing ever, in Korea they have a kimchi museum. Wow, can you imagine we can studying about kimchi, seeing the different types of kimchi and of course training to make kimchi and eat it straight. Nom nom nom (i imagine my self right now is eat kimchi)

2. Going to Jeju Island

Do you know that there is a very beautifull waterfall in Jeju island? It named Jeongbang waterfall. It really frequently seen by people. Why this waterfall is so attracted? Because the waterfall is falling directly into the sea. I can’t imagine how beautiful it is. Must be there and look at my own eyes. Things abut more Jeju Island, the food! (Why its food again haha). Jeju island has known as Korea's largest fresh seafood producer.

Jeju island is one of Korea's largest island. And it has surrounded by the oceans. It is possible to obtain fish and another seafood were very fresh. People say, according to the taste. Fresh seafood from Jeju islad is has different taste. In fact there is one show on cable television, named Kimchi Chronicle. In one episode the host even eat sea urchins and shells immediately after fishing. And he'd say its very yummy. (Sparkling eyes of me)

Jeju Island has a beautiful park too, filled by many flowers especially Conola. And when its blooming, we can see the fresh-yellow Conola field everywhere whenever our eyes seeing.

3. Take a romantic tour of "Winter Sonata" in Nami Island

Winter Sonata is a famous Korean drama. Roled by Bae Yong Joon and Choi Ji Woo. This sad, beautiful drama series has placed Nami Island as a background story. And since Winter Sonata, Nami Island become more and more famous. And become trip destination. In there we can see a place from the best scenes of Winter Sonata. There is Winter Sonata statue too. Reminding about true love does exist. 

Many couple go there and take a snap shot with the statue; hoping they love is long last too. And sometimes manager of Nami Island arrange some art show too. The scenery in Nami Island is beautiful. Kind of uniquely beautiful. If we see a picture of forest of tree there, we can recognize that is in Nami Island.

4. Go to Namsan tower and ride the cable car.

Many of Korean drama there must be a scene at Namsan tower and the cable car. Let we say; Boys Before Flower, etc.

Namsan tower is one of the famous monument in Seoul and has its own uniqueness. Do you know what is unique? Yes, thousands of love padlocks. There is a legend that says, if you and your partner here dating and hooking padlock on the fence and throw away the key. So our love will be eternal. Interesting, wanna try? J

The famous of Namsan Tower make many movie producer outside Korea also took a filming there. For example, Hello Stranger from Thailand. 

5. Going to Naksan Park

 Special for this, i really really want to go there after i watch Rooftop Prince drama. There is about half episode which is taken in Naksan Park. Its sooooooo, unique. Very artistic.

Naksan is nestled on a hill, ‘nakta’ in Korean means camel while ‘san’ means mountain. In Naksan, there ara so many grafiity, mural, unique statue, painting art. Even the house of Naksan is kind of art. Very refreshing scenery. 

6. Trip to the Palace

Seoul has many palaces which now be a museum. Moreover, what makes us know the history of a country other than visiting the palace? Looking around and to move on Korean history, we are all can imagine what it was like to be the princess in ancient times (well its me anyway).

Changdeokgung, Gyeongbokgung, Deoksugung Palace is a few from many palace in Seoul. We can see traditional Korean wearing by the guard there. Sometimes there are ceremony too. 

 

7. Seoul Trip! 

 

My last list, but not exactly last very. Because there so many things i want to do more in Korea.

Seoul trip would be great. Visiting shopping centre. Go to the rainbow bridge. Visiting showbiz entertainment centre. It is possible if we can enter, let say, SM Entertaintment or YG Entertainment building? No i am not intending to take a photo or asking a sign. Just want to know how they practice. LOL.

Do yu know, in my opinion Korean artist its very sale-able. Makes a very pleasant marketing activities. Whatever brand they’re endorse, it will be famous brand and of course, making a big sale.
