1) Why did you choose to go to your Dream Holiday destination?
An Nyeong. (Hello)
My brother showed me this video about Seoul, in this music video consists of artistes from Girls Generation and Super Junior. This song is so catchy and the scenes are taken in Seoul. Of course, because it is to promote Korea.
I would really like to visit Korea. Okay, I admit it was because of the kpop craze going on now. And also previously I got hooked onto Boys over flowers drama too. So crazy, that I’m learning Korean. I stopped halfway because I don’t have the time.
I really think Korea is a beautiful country with pretty people. Even though many people are saying that most Koreans do plastic surgery. :|
Oh well, the country is nice.
2) Update your Blog with magical pictures of your Dream Holiday destinations.
Seoraksan National Park (NaeSeorak)
The mountain was named Seorak because the snow would not melt for a long time keeping the rocks in a permanent state of white.
Korean Peninsula-shaped Cliffs (Seonam Village)
Seonam village (선암마을) is a small town located on the banks of Seogang River in Ongjeong-ri, Seo-myeon, Yeongwol-gun, Gangwon-do province. The village is famous for its cliff that is shaped just like the Korean Peninsula.
--------------------------------------------------------------
Korea has a lot of villages and it is almost impossible to go to all. Decided to pick a random village to go.
Bukchon Hanok Village
Bukchon Hanok Village was once a village of aristocrats long ago, and its luxury tile-roofed houses called giwas have been preserved since the Joseon Dynasty.
Namdaemun Market
located in the very center of Seoul, is the biggest traditional market in Korea selling children's clothing, men & women's clothing, daily miscellaneous goods, kitchenware and local and imported products. Most shops have their own factories and make the products themselves offering both wholesale and retail prices which enable visitors to purchase various shopping items at extremely inexpensive prices.
Vivaldi Park Ocean World
Vivaldi Park resort is internationally renowned for its ski facilities, but they are not the only attraction in the resort, Ocean World Water Park is also very popular. The park covers 120,982,200 sq ft, which is 14 times bigger than a soccer field, and it can accommodate up to 18,000 people at the same time. It is designed to look like an oasis in the middle of the Egyptian desert, in order to give visitors the experience of a cool, refreshing swim under the bright sun. Ocean World even features a large Sphinx and pyramid, giving visitors a sense of Egypt’s mysterious past.
