Duo Travel | Day 1 | Seoul, Korea.

If there's anything I thought I would never be able to do AT MY AGE now it would be travelling. I mean, my parents have always been generous for sponsoring every belajar sambil berjalan trip I've had in my life. Proof- I went to Singapore when I was 17 under a school's trip and Indonesia in my first year of degree for a Street-law programmed. I blogged about my Singapore trip but didn't for Indonesia (regrets!) I'm not repeating silly mistakes, so here's one for y'all.

MY VACATION TO SEOUL, KOREA

Oh lord. Can you believe it? After convincing my parents that I will be tots fine travelling with a friend, they finally let me. Travel. on. my. own!!! Alhamdulillah, the whole process went really smooth for Aisyah and I even though we planned this trip in less than a month (as soon as finals over). We looked out for dates, and then a travel agent because parents just wouldn't let their girls go to a foreign countries alone. (danger alerts!) We were lucky enough because we found one travel agent with an affordable price.  It was an all in package so they bought us the flight tickets and entrance fees. The travel agent also arranged our accommodation and transportation which makes our lives super easy.

Uhm, the first thing that y'all should know is that we went there on February and it was winter season. Both Aisyah and I have never traveled in winter season so we really be preparing ourselves for the weather there. I was honestly, very scared I would get sick, but I didn't which was amazing! Alhamdulillah. Anyways, there are actually a lot of money spent because I didn't have a proper winter outfit. I also don't have knitted wear so yeah- we go buy them. Luckily, my mom has some of the stuffs needed so I got to save some $$.

This was me when arrived at KLIA. Was very much in awe with the fact that we are *doing* it.

After we arrived at Incheon Airport, we immediately took out our winter wear, cleaned and changed ourselves. Almost 7 hours in the flight,... Buruk wei. haha. Then, we met our travel agent and we took an airport bus to go to our home-stay called the Bong House. We were given a few hours of rest before our sight-seeing starts. The first place we went to was Namsangol Hanok Village,

It basically a place consists of five hanok (traditional Korean houses) from old times.

After taking loads of pictures with the Korean houses there, we went to Namsan Tower.

Y'all familiar with this place? It's a must to go here but somehow as a single person, I don't find all these locks interesting. Maybe because I can't lock my name with a person name as a symbol of love(?) So instead of locking names, we took more pictures of ourselves.

The view was magnificent! Mashallah.

One with Namsan Tower.

Later at night, we went to Myeondong and tasted some of the street foods there. 

We also bought a lot of heat packs from their Daiso because it was so so so cold. The Temperature hits -14 and for summer girls, we were freezing cold!! We also wandered around the area we stayed in. Bought their famous milk and visited their groceries shop for fun.

Here are raw pictures of me wandering in a foreign country doing god knows what.

Peace out. 

I'll continue with day 2 soon. 

Lots of Love, Nurzafira Sabrina
