Korea full of memories

Hello guys,

This time around I would love to share some memorial places I went during my holiday in Seoul, Korea. If you visit other countries without proper planning, you might have less places to visit. However, if you can be creative and quick thinking, without plan you can go to various places without problem.

My wife and I arrived in Incheon International Airports early in the morning. I have few plans in hands for this long vacation days. My thought was going for the scenery places, historical building visit and other sightseeing. As most of us know, when there is a women beside you, most of their interest is to go for SHOPPING. I mean not all, but if course the objective is heavy towards the “S” word.

It was a wet day, when we arrived. So my wife and I bought 2 umbrella to cover our head from wet. Well unlike in Malaysia, the rain is not that heavy, but if you stay in the middle of it, for sure you’ll get wet… dergh!

Our first location was at the Dongdaemun where all the shopping bazar was located. However, there was a stadium there few years back here at Dongdaemun. They have change the place to a museum and also a historical park where they found a Japanese colonial office at this site. Look at the first picture.

After one tiring night, the next day we went to Gwanghwamun where the Geongbukgung Palace is located. Interesting is this place is very near to the City Hall, Namdaemun, and Myeongdong. You can just walk to reach at all these places. However, if you are not fit enough, I would advise you to catch the train or just take a taxi. Due to the cool weather, My wife and I decided to walk and find other interesting places around this area. Below is the rest of the pictures of various interesting places that we came across during this visit.
