Next Journey : Daegu

Let's continue the journey>> Daegu.
It's colourful Daegu time. If you take mugunghwa train from Seoul Station, It will take around 4 hours to reach Daegu Station. But If you take KTX train It will take around only 2 hours. Daegu is the third biggest city in South Korea. Ga terlalu banyak tourist attraction di Daegu klo dibandingkan dengan Seoul. Daegu is famous with its apple and its fashion. Daegu is Korea's fashion city. Korean people said, The most beautiful Korean girls come from Daegu. Korea's present President, Lee Myeong Bak, also comes from Daegu. Ok, It was a brief information about Daegu and now let's go to the pictures! 가자!

Htar Htar Oo:
오늘 아침에 첫눈이 왔다.나는 미얀마의 최고로 더운 지역인 쉐이보 출신이라서 지금까지 눈을 본적이 전혀 없었다.그래서 그런지, 나는 어렸을때부터 영화나 드란마속에 눈 내리는장면을 보면 아주 신기하고 기분 좋았다.특히,한국 드란마에서 나오는 눈이 쌓여있는 희끗희끗한 나뭇가지, 눈싸움, 귀여운 눈사람 같은 것들 보면 너무나 좋아하고 직접 즐겨보고 싶었다.하지만, 그렇기는 컹녕 눈꽃을 직접 보는 것도 네게는 그림의 떡이었다.그래서 오늘 아침 왔던 눈이 올해 대구에 처음 오는 첫눈이기도 하고, 내인생의 첫눈이기도 하기때문에 나에게는 아주 뜻깊은 첫눈이었다.내인생의 첫눈꽃을 봤던 그순간, 내가 한국에 생활하고 있다는 사실을 실감하게 됐고, 한국과의 소중한 인연을 느낄 수 있었다.그뿐만아니라,오늘 아침에 내렸던 첫눈이 나에게 새로운 희망과 꿈을 가져왔다.내인생의 첫눈꽃을 봤던 그순간...... 영원히 잊을수 없을 것이다.
*타타우*

Hay Everyone!
Let's continue our Journey. After arriving at Incheon Int'l Airport, you will think, "where would I go?" :D Why don't you go to Seoul? 

Seoul (서울 특별시) is the capital and the largest city of South Korea. Based on http://geography.about.com/od/urbaneconomicgeography/a/agglomerations.htm, Seoul is the 4th most populous cities in the world following Tokyo, New York, and Sao Paulo. Wikipedia said Seoul is one of the five most expensive cities in the world and the second most expensive in Asia. Too many places to go in Seoul. sampe bingung gimana harus ngejelasinnya. :D 

These are places in Seoul I've ever been:
1. Daehangno Road (place of art, music, and theater show)
2. Dongdaemun market (the largest shopping center in South Korea, there are a lot of shopping malls there)
3. Namdaemun market (the largest traditional market in South Korea)
4. Seoul Tower (namsan tower)
5. Indonesian embassy (for sure ;))
6. Cheonggyecheon stream (beautiful at night)
7. 63 building (the highest building in South Korea)
8. Gyeongbok Palace
9. Changdeok Palace
10. Seoul city hall
11. Coffee Prince cafe (setting of Korean drama 'Coffee Prince')
12. Seoul Central Masjid (the biggest masjid in South Korea)
13.  Itaewon district (lot of night club, foreign trader, store, and restaurant)
14. Han River
15. Yeuido area
16. Insadong (cultural art market)
17. National museum of Korea

Baru inget segitu..

Incheon Int'l Airport

Hmm..
Yesterday DitaUdang requested me to put some photo about South Korea. I will start from Incheon Int'l Airport from where you can start your amazing journey in South Korea. :)

Before putting the photos, let me introduce you some brief information about Incheon International Airport (인천국제공항).

Incheon Int'l Airport is the main airport and the largest airport in South Korea, and one of the largest and busiest in Asia. It is located in Incheon, South Korea. As far as I know, this airport is rated as one of the best airport in the world. It is also considered Asia's most technologically facilitated airport because the security facilities and medical inspection equipment is very advanced.

Pertama kali ngeliat airport ini, (2007.02.26) gw bener2 berdecak kagum. Kenapa? Karena pas gw buka jendela pesawat dan ngerasain pancaran sinar matahari yg menembus kaca jendela, bukan daratan yang gw liat, tapi laut. Pemandangannya keren banget. Gw langsung bilang ke Randy, "Ran, ini airportnya di pulau gitu ya?kok deket laut gini?" Kata Randy, "ga tau deh, kyanya si iya." Dan ternyata bener.. Incheon Int'l Airport ini emg dibuat di atas pulau. yang bikin kagum lagi, dibikinnya di atas 2 pulau yang terpisah yang dihubungin sama laut yang dibikin daratan.. wahhh. Pas udah keluar dari pesawat, hmmm.. apa ya yang kerasa. yang kerasa pertama kali sih, "Ran, ini bener ya kita udah di Korea??" "iya mut..awhahahah." "Haduh, gmn nih, jauh banget dari jakarta.." "iya, hahaha. gimana nih, dah ga bisa balik lagi kita.. gile berdua doang, mana ga ngerti bahasanya pula." yg gw rasain sih ini.. airport ini berasa banget modernnya.. semuanya serba modern, mulai dari toilet dan semua2nya. Bersih..

Ok, now, let's see the pictures that I took in August 19, 2007 when I departed to Tokyo.
