South Korea Trip 1
안녕하세요 !
It means annyeong haseyo or hello in korea ! :D
baru dua hari balik from South Korea and sekarang still terbayang bayang lagi lagu EXO dekat myeongdong street . hahaha ;p
Since a lot of people asked me about this trip , therefore this entry is specially made for those who are planning to there . may it help you guys ! :)
Initial budget was RM3000
Initial budget was RM3000
With AirAsia promotion , return ticket price was rm990 . *kira murah sebab if the ticket price alone dah rm 1000, mcm tak best sikit laa ;p since we booked the tickets together , therefore we shared the baggage . masa pergi 60 kg , but masa balik we added up until 80 kg ( sebab shopping barang ) . therefore , so total ticket + meals + baggage approximately is RM 1,000 .
for allowance , i decided to exchange RM2300, 20% of it into USD and the rest into KOREA WON and simpan rm350 dalam purse as a standby money in case terjadi apa apa dekat airport or tak cukup duit . abah nasihatkan duit RM to USD ( dekat malaysia ) sebab kalau nak tukar RM to KWN dekat korea ( if tak cukup duit ) , kita akan rugi banyak .. so yeah , what dad said was actually true! :)
make sure you did make a list to be packed into your baggage and some important things like :
passport ( wajib! )
tickets ( self check in awal2 and print the tickets ! )
adapter two pins
power bank
extra money
foods , air kotak kecil and snacks .
medical kits like panadol
before leaving , make sure you guys download application Subway Korea untuk memudahkan perjalanan korang nak naik subway di sana . the apps looks like this . dont worry boleh tukar setting dalam apps tu to English :)

DAY 1
Gangnam
Gangnam
arriving the KLIA 2 at 0540 in the morning and checked in baggage at 0630 at the counter . it was a little bit rushing . actually balqis was the one who started it first . sekali check balik ticket , oh the gate closed at 0740 . owww *krikkrikkrik ... haha ;p
oh by the way lupa nak cakap , bila you guys sampai je dekat airport , wani cadangkan you beli T money card dekat any mart or kedai serbaneka . t money ni macam touch n go dekat malaysia . cuma bezanya t money ni boleh pakai untuk all types of transportation in Korea ( taxi , bus , and train )

| T money Card |
safely arrived Oppa Ben's house at 5 pm in the evening . penat jugak lah nak cari rumah oppa ni. before nak pergi tu , dia bagi peta dekat balqis , em bukannya faham sangat pun ... last last tanya juga dekat local people . haha!
oh untuk penginapan , we chose guesthouse . cari lah yang murah murah per night / day .kalau you guys nak tahu guesthouse yang kitaorg stay for 10 days ni , boleh lah click to this link .. airbnb guesthouse . guesthouse kitaorang was located in Gangnam-gu . The host , BEN was very friendly in person ! frankly speaking his house was very neat , cozy and warm ... all accommodations were completely there including wifi ;) . plus his house was very near with subway station :) . I definitively recommend this place to anyone coming to Seoul. Oppa baik sangat kasi sewa rumah murah ! bila kira kira balik in RM , sehari dalam rm40.00 . For area Gangnam , murah kan :D
that night , oppa ben brought us to the halal restaurant since we had informed to him that we , muslims only eat halal foods . it was a turkish restaurant . oppa adviced us to choose the menu carefully as it could be quite expensive .. em memang mahal pun tapi sedap dan berbaloi menu yang kitaorg pilih malam tu . we were so full ! :D
Update :
beli T MONEY - 32,000 won
sewa guesthouse for 11 days - 115,000 won
DAY 2 .
Nami Island , Petite France , Morning Calm Aburetum
Last night , we told Oppa about our plan for today . Then, he gave us the direction.
from sinnonhyeon station ( the nearest station to our house ) , we took subway to gapyeong station .
okay sampai je dekat gapyeong station , take taxi or bus untuk pergi je jetty nami island. sebab kitaorg pun quite blur and takut lagi nak naik bus takut tersalah arah , so we decided to take a taxi yang memang dah sedia ada dekat depan gapyeong station tu . the fare was 3700 won for one way ..
so we spent about 4 hours dekat nami island . i felt so lucky sebab dapat pergi nami island masa tengah musim spring because the scenery was so beautiful dengan bunga bunga yang jatuh dari pokok and berterbangan bila kena tiup angin. Subhanallah , He is The Greatest Creator and The Most Beautiful ! :D
there , we took some nice photos , rode bicycle and enjoyed the sightseeing . by noon , we decided to leave . by that time , ramai pulak malaysian visitors yang datang . fuh nasib baik pergi awal pagi :D
then sampai jetty , we went to bus station yang dekat depan 7 eleven and tunggu city tour bus untuk ke petite france . there , you would see a lot of france building concept and beautiful flowers . yeah musim spring kann :D Dekat sini , kalau korang pernah tengok drama, My Love From Another Star ,Petite France was one of the shooting place . There was a puppet show . so , we took a lot of pictures here . by 3 pm , we left the place and took city tour bus to our last destination - morning calm abulatum garden .
p/s : nani island > petitte france > morning calm abulatum garden .it is a round trip yang pakai city tour bus . therefore , we used t money as the bus fee . one tip , each time you naik and turun from the bus , make sure to place your t money card on the scanner :D
okay mesti korang terikir kan , how did i perform prayer ? actually in Seoul, you'd hardly seen any convenient prayer room or surau . therefore , kita takde cara lain melainkan untuk solat di mana sahaja kita berada . Allah itu maha penyayang . he gave us rukhsah solat and solatlah di mana mana kawasan lapang as long as bersih and jauh from crowded so wani niat jama' takhir , then sampai dekat morning calm abulatum garden , wani ambil wudhu dekat toilet . we found a pondok kecil and wani solat dekat situ.. solat je . jangan malu malu sebab kalau ada native people yang pandang pun bukan boleh buat apa . mereka pun faham kita sedang sembahyang :)
