[Global WOW KOREA Event] KOREA 내 사랑

Just like the other days, I scrolled my fb and twitter timeline and I found this.

Whew, actually I never participated in those kinda event. First timer but here we go! 

Why I definitely want to visit Korea.

I’ve been into Korea things since 2010’s. My friends and family have already knew that I love all about it. There’s no definite words I can describe about Korea ❤

For me, I got drawn into this *unconsciously* because of K-drama. K-drama slyly promotes about Korea’s beautifulness and yes, the place for shooting the popular drama always end up becoming tourist destinations. Why I said slyly? That’s because there’s always a shoot about scenery that captured perfectly and I can’t help being ‘aawww’ (my expression to show how amazing that thing is xD).

 ofc you can't miss the famous Winter Sonata set at Nami Island!

Hanok Village! Place for shooting Moonlight Drawn by the Clouds

Then I started to learn about Korean culture and other things too so I decided to become a writer in one of online portal sites about Korea in Indonesia (salamkorea.com *shamelessly promoting) and from that, I can experience many events by becoming reporter for K-events in Indonesia,gaining a lot of friends domestic and internationally that share same interest about Korea (God is good *amen).

Thankfully tho, being a writer means you will always searching searching and searching to find topics about Han Style or other topics that what you want to write. Voila, now I’m more and more into Korea and have a big dream to visit there.

A lot of places that I'd like to feel the experience:

Han River!
Yes, the simple(st) place but have a big impact, right?

Jeju Island and Busan
'Hawaii of Korea' Jeju with their oranges and the second biggest city Busan!

Namsan Park

Namsan Park is a very popular nonetheless as a resting and historical site. And want to see the landscape of Seoul at Seoul Tower especially at night. I bet it will be amazingly beautiful. Love-lock? Should try it, no words need for that ☺

Gyeongbukguk palace - Gwanghwamun - Deoksugung Doldam-gil (덕수궁 돌담길) and the surrounding area

Absolutely will feel the traditional culture!

Seoul Central Masjid

I want to see how big it is as the first masjid in Korea and the symbol of the preservation of tolerance and harmony between moslems and citizens in Korea.

Heaven of shopping places and foodies!

Myeongdong the famous street of course! And the modern-indie-youthful feel one in Ewha and Hongdae street. Live music in Hongdae by the young Korean is famous internationally tho. Namdaemun and Samcheon traditional market and some mall like COEX or Time’s Square.

For food, there’s no doubt for food in Korea especially for the street-snacks! Gimbap with tteokbokki and eomuk, twigim even kkochi or the sweet and warm like hoppang, hotteok or bungeoppang. I really want to taste dried squid too because I can’t find it in my country *hiks

Halal-restaurants around Itaewon attract me so much and variety kind of foods by delivery xD 

Korean music shows

Definitely can't miss Kpop (세봉들!) so I want to try to watch live recording from music shows in 3 national TV (KBS, SBS, MBC), but cable tv channel now has music shows too. Literally, have a chance everyday to watch if I’m in Korea…

I really want to explore Korea if I get a chance to visit there. I believe every places give a certain meaning and lessons about Korean culture. I hope I can experience all or couple of those things at least once in my life and Korea definitely is my first destination outside from my country.

And the travel dates from WOW Korea will happen on my birthday (guess it?) too so I wish I can spent my birthday in a country that I adore!

Hoping for my best luck!
