Seoul & Busan Trip - Day 5

Hey there assalamualaikum salam shoo shoo corona virus!

To be honest, aku tak plan nak continue this Korea trip post tapi tiba-tiba Corona gaiss. Aku tak plan to be this bored up to the level yang aku bukak balik Blogger dot com semata nak continue Seoul & Busan trip yang I guess for now no one is interested in. Tell me, siapa je yang boleh pergi travel sekarang ni? Apa khabar brand new luggage korang? Luggage aku kirim salam PKPB. Nanti kita main tiktok tarik tarik luggage kayh.

Alright we stopped at Day 4 previously. For Day 5 we finally move on from Seoul to Busan. Exciting gais, we took TRAIN TO BUSAN! I know this might sounds like daddy's joke but nope, no sight of zombies, not even Gong Yoo oppa was in sight :( Okay la selain kedekut to spend more on flight to Busan, another reason is nak experience la their train kan acah acah balik kampung beraya (but let's stick to kedekut as main reason). Cause honestly we could save time if we took KTX/ITX but we took Mugunghwa train instead (this is like paling cheapskate ever!). KTX paling laju la dalam 3 jam dah sampai, ITX takes 5hrs, and paling sendu goes to Mugunghwa - 6hrs. Price diff dalam RM100 jugak la, but if you ever plan to take Mugunghwa, make sure take night train. First, kau dah jimat hotel 1 night, secondly kau celik mata it's morning! So you have extra days to explore Busan. For us, ended up we tidur siang lah dalam train but it's okay the whole journey nampak la kepelbagaian rupa bentuk bangunan dan alam sekitar. Duhh forget it, just take night train gais.

TRAIN TO BUSAN! Dia lebih kurang macam interstate KTM je tak banyak beza pun

Masa dalam train ni, ada sorang haelboji ni erm macam atok2 la dia asyik dok usha kitorang macam orang tua nak ajak borak tu haa camtu. So one time celik2 mata tengok dia dok pandang goshhh did he see my liuq basi? Tak dan nak check (or at least wipe ma saliva), he started talking to us. He thought we're Indonesian, apa mungkin gue iras2 BCL ya? Ah berangan lo, turned out anak dia study fashion kat Indonesia and he just came back from Indonesia so make sense la (obviously, ya really think you look like BCL?). Anywayyy he knew some Malay/Indonesian word so perbualan tu takde la macam ayam dengan itik sangat eventho masa tu actually dah dekat nak sampai. And just like typical atok2, seronok eh dia cerita dia beli itu ini dekat Indonesia, barang baik blabla. Ehem, please come to Malaysia we show you some Made in China stuffs in Petaling Street (oops). Till we meet again, haelboji!

Haelhoji boleh tahan high fashion kayhh, meanwhile us - bare potato face

Okay maybe dah bagitau in previous post, we left our luggage in Maru Guesthouse in Seoul and bawak like one small beg baju je to Busan sebab macam leceh nak heret luggage everywhere. So sampai Busan Station tu singgah beli fries Lotteria cause we've been starving, lepastu memang terus pergi Gamcheon Cultural Village the Asia's Santorini! Oh lupa lupa, during end of winter ni weather in Busan dah chill chill macam kau pergi Cameron Highland so memang super love the weather there! Bazir je bawak jaket, takyah bawak pun takpe cause warm inner pun dah cukup sebab dia chilly je.

Gamcheon ni senang je nak cari actually sebab kalau naik the correct bus memang akan terus sampai dekat port yang nice ambik gambar. Gunakan kuasa teknologi yang korang ada, tunjuk je gambar macam bawah ni nanti ada je orang bagitau naik bas apa (kalau pening tengok Naver Map). Oh btw in Busan memang kitorang mainly naik bas sahaja. And boleh guna the same T-Money card yang korang dah guna in Seoul, takdehal lah.

Tips: Hujung winter adalah best timing pergi Busan. Cause kalau korang pergi time lain panas dia nauzubillah (Menurut sumber yang dipercayai)

Asia's Santorini! Mungkin dekat dah tu nak sampai Santorini pulak hiks bye Corona we hate you

Balik kampung suami i jap. 보고 싶다 

Sunkissed camni kalau pakai jaket lagi peluh taktau la berapa bakul

Kampung dia so nice kayh ada random art camnih, erm tapi Melaka pun ada kan erm takpe sis kagum jugak

Blackpinkfong new member. New song - Baby shark doo doo doo doo

The most amazing part about Busan when we were there was, Busan dah start berbunga!! SPRING STARTED EARLIER THERE KAMI JAKUN CAM MALAYSIA TAKDE BUNGA KBAI 💮

Pretty cherry blossom

Depan rumah siapa tah main redah je kau eh

After macam dah sedar diri sikit (and semput) due to jalan naik turun bukit too much, we made a move to Jagalchi Market. Market ni kan kalau korang memang aim nak makan seafood memang banyak lah dekat sini yang jual fresh seafood and dorang masak on the spot dekat korang. We skipped due to serabutness ramai sangat ahjumma panggil2 macam eh tak rilek eh acik acik ni, bye cik.

Tips: Ada member yang duduk Korea cakap, korang kena careful sikit kalau beli seafood dekat sini sebab ada scam jugak, compare price and please bargain before purchase kayh. 

Ni antara kedai kedai yang jual seafood, lai lai pilih2

Cuba teka ni ikan ke ayam

Don't quite remember tapi rasanya BIFF square was just walking distance from Jagalchi market ni. So we walked there to hunt for streetfood! BIFF square ni memang famous dengan streetfood contoh macam Hotteok (Korean sweet pancakes), yang ni memang enak banget sihhh dalam tu macam2 jenis kacang and madu and apetah lagi but all kekacang la. Dia goreng panas panas korang makan on the spot pehhhhhhh. Harga dalam KRW1300 ~ RM4 macam tu sekeping.

Nindiaaaaa hotteok otokke i want

Selain dari hotteok tu, ada jual kimbap, dry squid, dry food, and macam macam la and area sini pun ada kedai halal food, tapi compared to Seoul, Busan susah sikit nak cari halal food. Kalau ada pun bukan Korean dishes la, macam Indian cuisine gituh. Sesudah capek berjalan, we went to check in. We stayed in Business Hotel Busan Station sebab dia quite close dengan Busan Station obviously. Walking distance lah tapi kalau korang ada luggage erm maybe kena naik bas or cab jugak lah kot.

Kimbap KRW 2500 ~ RM9

Again, gamba hasil ihsan Booking.com sebab tak ambik port nak ambik gambar hotel

Source: Booking.com - Bilik kitorang lebih kurang camni la

Hotel ni best la jugak sebab location wise senang cari and dekat dengan Busan station and dekat jugak dengan bus stop. Nanti episod last in Busan aku cerita kenapa kitorang syukur gila location dia dekat dengan Busan station. Kdrama ye gaiss, tak gi Korea la kalau tak drama. Anyway bagi Malaysian sebab utama pilih hotel ni adalah sebab ada bidet. Kau bayangkan semua public toilet takde bidet, takkan balik hotel pun takde bidet, nanges punggung melayu sis camnih.

Petang tu we gerak to Gwanggalli Beach, sebuah pantai di mana Penangites akan merindui kampung mereka sebab ada sight of Penang Bridge over there. Lemme show ya guys kalau tak caye.

Ni contoh orang Penang yang dah start merindui nasik kandaq setelah nampak Penang Bridge

Ni pulak kalau menuju Jambatan ke Hati Gua, eh.

Leggo to the beach beach beach

Cantik gila aku the bridge at night!

Ni macam kedai2 in front of the beach, macam hang lepak stabak near Batu Feringgi

Beach in the city at night

Then macam dah malam sikit we go back to BIFF Square mencari dinnahhhhh. Jalan jauh jauh we need energy, selalunya either lunch or dinner we will go grab makanan berat sikit. Cause kalau pagi petang siang malam nak berat, selain nanti badan pun berat and mata berat, nak bayar pun terasa berat sebab as mentioned, makanan in Korea tidaklah murah ye gais. So dekat BIFF Square ni ada satu kedai Indian cuisine nama dia Little India. Korang jalan jalan BIFF tu mesti jumpa punya.

Tudiaa kita pekena chicken biryani satu kali KRW14000 ~ RM51. Have have ye kau makan biryani lagi mahal dari Tarbush KL

And ni view BIFF Square dari dalam Little India. Romantic ambiance tapi I nak fefeeling pun I gi ngan member, kalau ngan suami lain cite

Okay kalau rasa tak puas shopping dekat Myeongdong street, kat sini pun korang boleh shopping skincare or souvenirs sebab not bad jugak la harga dia. Tapi recommended Myeongdong or area Ewha (will story next yepisode) la sebab murah lagi. Tapi ada kedai Artbox nearby sini yang syok gila barang semua mur mur macam2 lah ada, macam korang pergi Daiso+Kaison+Watson tapi yang ni lagi best siyes siyes.

Someone can't decide. Just grab all lah!

Hasil rembatan malam pertama

Okay lah gaiss stay tuned for next day in Busan. First day in Busan tak banyak jalan lagi tapi tah la dah panjang camni gue tulis nih. Stay safe and wear your mask when you go outside! Bukan sheet mask tau gais, tau nak skin lawa glowing cam Korean tapi please eh, pakai face mask, bukan sheet mask kang viral kau. Haha sekian toceh!

Seoul & Busan Trip - Day 4

Hello there assalamualaikum.

Aku start jelah terus eh takyah mukadimah eh korang. So day 4 kalau follow itinerary asal, we were too ambitious I would say sebab aku tengok balik itinerary macam wow, kau rasa jalan dua minit pun semput macam kau ni boleh ke nak pergi all those places in a day? Nope. Lemme show you sneak peak of our original plan.

Maru Guesthouse > Nami Island > Gangnam > Hanok Village > Chonggyecheon Stream > Ewha University > Hangang Park > Itaewon > Maru Guesthouse

Gila kan? That's what happen bila kau tak berapa nak power Geografi lepas tu kau ingat Seoul tu sama luas dengan KL. You're in deep deep trouble. Okay anyway, endingnya we covered only Nami Island, Gangnam, Hangang Park and added on Namsan Tower since we skipped it on day 1 and still have our voucher from Klook unused so daripada membazir baik pergi tempat yang dah bayar upfront kan. And jangan risau, we did cover some of the places atas tu as mentioned dekat Day 1 punya post. So when plan A didn't work, always think fast for plan B, arasso?

First of all yang korang kena tau, nak ke Nami Island korang kena naik ITX from any station to Gapyeong. Experience with ITX ni funny story sikit lah, dia bukan macam subway biasa tau yang naik guna T-money tu tau, please please jangan buat hal malu kaum macam what we did last time eh. Masalah dia sekarang ni, ITX punya platform ni dia shared dengan subway biasa. So we thought nak naik ITX pun sekali jalan jelah kan konfiden lah tap kad ape semua beratur masuk train.

ITX ni seated train tau, tapi masa masuk train dah ada bad feeling tau kenapa seat dia macam have have eh. Tak macam the normal subway. Senang nak imagine macam kau nak naik KTM pegi KL Sentral from Kepong, tapi kau ternaik ETS. So we ended up tak duduk, we berdiri in between coaches. And dalam tu ada local Korean guys dalam lima nam orang. We're the only girls, and ehem Malaysian. Duduk lalala tengok pemandangan usha oppa, ada lah officer check ticket ni lalu. Dah gelabah ni sebab pelik kenapa orang yang duduk tu semua ada tiket ek. And somehow uncle check tiket tu skip kitorang semua yang berdiri ni, so macam pheww la kan maksudnya ohhh maybe kalau berdiri takpe kot takyah show ticket (what kind of hypothesis is this?). Konfiden je kan. Thanks to those local Korean guys also la we terlepas from kena check this round. We bet they don't have ticket as well kalau tak takkan berdiri situ kan. Tapi I dunno why masa tu after all those happened, we still didn't figure out something is definitely wrong. Maybe semangat sangat nak Winter Sonata kot kan. Anyway kejap lagi sambung pasal ITX.

Nak sampai Gapyeong tu makan sejam jugak la, boleh tahan longgar la lutut sis berdiri ya. From Gapyeong station, we took cab depan station tu, cakap je Namiseom dia mesti paham. Sebab mostly semua yang turun situ memang nak gi Nami Island and nak nak muka kau memamg tak Korean look langsung, takdenya tiberr kau ada kampung dekat situ, enggak sama sekali. So sampai situ dah excited giler cause we sampai tu super early, and among the first to go on the zipwire. Should I repeat? Yes, we zipline to Nami Island weehuu. I strongly suggest you invest a bit on this experience cause it's damn exciting. One of the best things I experienced in South Korea I would say. Me and Mira jerit like hell yeah let us scream our mother tongue out loud hahahahaha. Tapi Mira jerit kuat lagi fyi. I got the video. DM me if you wanna have a look. K she gonna kill me.

Tower belakang tu is where you gonna kickstart your zipline experience.

Zipwire + entrance fee + ferry fee (from Nami Island to land) = 44000won ~ RM 160.60

Okay nak zipwire ni kalau korang nak record the experience, boleh bawak kamera tapi make sure ada tali yang attached to the hand. Even nak guna monopod pun kena yang bertali. Kalau tak diorang tak allow. And no worries, they're kind enough to lend you theirs. Best thing ever! Lend eh bukan rent tau, lend je.

It's damn exciting! Tak scary pun weh siyes siyes

Sampai Nami Island macam biasalah korang akan start fefeeling Winter Sonata (I mean, classic kan?). Lagu lagu yang dia pasang pun lagu Winter Sonata or lagu lagu sendu yang kau tak faham lirik dia tapi tiber macam sentimental pulak nak menitiskan air mata di bumi Korea. Sounds overreacting, aite? Nami Island ni besar ya ampun, we didn't cover all the areas tapi penat dia macam habis marathon 10km. Memang ramai tourist kalau korang sampai lambat so please go in the morning especially if you opt to take ferry to Nami Island cause it will be super crowded.

Choi Ji woo kini berhijab!

First encounter with snow walaupun dah keras still can't leave our jakun-ness behind

Held a concert to dear Korean fans on this stage. You know Mas Idayu gelek gelek gais?

This place is all abt drama airmata Winter Sonata

Tried panorama dengan penuh kegigihan. Can you find me?

Finally have proper picture of us after 20382384023th times trying to shoo people on the background

She learned the art of third-wheeling

Okay you guys can go hunt for halal food here

Nah aku belanja menu sekali. Kedai ni dalam Nami Island so no worries korang takkan makan pasir di sana

This is the kedai! Asian Family Restaurant Dongmoon

I dunno what meal is this ermmmm sorry still fail nama makanan Korea

This jjajangmyeong is so gewddddd I want more! Price: 10000won ~ RM36.50

Balik from Nami Island, lemme continue story on funny ITX experience. Konfidennya pergi tak beli proper ticket, balik pun tidak ye. And actually balik tu memang tak plan nak naik ITX, nak naik yang normal subway cause we were planning to go somewhere reachable with the other subway tapi again, tersalah naik train, naik lah ITX lagi sekali. Kali ni lebih konfiden, siap duduk ye sebab ada coach yang kosong so we just sit lah ape pulak ada seat kau nak berdiri kan. Tak sayang lutut ke? Then train officer pun ronda, she asked us for the ticket. It's a she this time. Weh aku blur Mira blur, macam ermmm ticket? What ticket? Again cam ohhh maybe dia nak tengok kad T-money kot but kelakarnya, for what? So we showed her that. She started to bebel macam no no, not this, you need to buy ticket, this is ITX not subway blablabla. Cemas beb. Dia dah nak report kat bos dia lah kot kan dia dah nak tekan walkie talkie tu. Pastu kitorang cam alamak we dunno la sis, we wanna take the other train to blablabla but ended up in this train, it's our first time blablabla segala rubbish pun keluarlah dari mulut. And guess what? She was so kind to let it slip and asked us turun next station and wait for the other train (the actual one). Pheww. Saranghae unni.

And it did not end there. Turun tu, the actual train that we should take already there but we tak naik sebab confuse (again). So we turun to the counter tried to masuk but we couldnt tap our card entah dah error lah kot asyik salah naik je haih. Lepastu sebab gate dia takde palang and ada auto door aku siap boleh try nk cross that thing, kau bayangkan gate tu tiba2 blocking my way. Segan siot orang pandang macam aku intruders ke ape. Wakakaka but we got lucky ada unni baik ni came to us tanya kalau dia boleh tolong. I told you, Korean ni kalau dorang pandai English, dorang yang akan approach kita kalau kita lost. So unni ni tolong explain our situation dekat officer subway yang ada kat situ. Dorang pun paham and suruh kitorang naik balik tunggu train kat atas. And again, terlepas lagi satu train sebab confuse. Sedih beb tengok itinerary.

With short time yang ada we went to Gangnam to see all the idols dolls along the street and Mira on her hunt for entertainment company's building (which some of them were either moved or under construction). Note for those interested to go to these places, make sure your reference are the latest one okay. Cause berjalan di Gangnam is like you walk on a city of Ultraman and raksasa. You will feel so tiny and going anywhere by foot is super jauh. But out of frustration we accidentally found a tunnel to Hangang Park which we actually planned to give up on. Macam miracle especially when your urinary bladder cannot tahan already and there's always public toilet at such park. Thank God.

Look at the idol bears. And their fan over there so seronok ketemuk these bears. I can't relate tho hahahahahaha

From Hangang Park, we moved on to Namsan Seoul Tower. We went by bus tapi korang boleh opt for cable car (kalau tak under maintenance), or can hike up (if time is not an issue). So I tell you by the time kitorang sampai Namsan Seoul tower, it's already night time, and it's super cold ya rabbi, I regret not wearing my thickest jacket. As I told earlier nak masuk area Namsan Tower ni actually free je, I mean kalau setakat nak pergi surrounding areas including the love lock places, all are free. Yang kena bayar tu bila korang nak naik ke observatory macam naik Menara KL ituh tapi experience dia memang priceless sebab dalam lif ada video seolah-olah kau sedang travel to all the planets, leaving the Earth behind. Macam iklan Apollo layer cake tuh ingat tak?

And we also went in Hello Kitty Island sebab we bought the package yang included pass to Hello Kitty Island. Yang ni biashe biashe je lah kalau kau bukan die-hard-fan Hello Kitty. Lagipun masa ni energy tinggal saki baki je weh like I need my bed right now! Tapi memang kalau pergi malam kan ramai gila couple sweet sweet sampai tahap kau rasa kau tak layak ye berada di situ (sebab kau single hmm). Ada 'Proposal Stairs' jugak where I propose to my own self, to not go there again dengan membawa status single wakaka. Going there during the day will give you different experience, you can't see all the pretty lights and the pretty night sky subhanallah.

Namsan Seoul Tower. View from bus stop. Faham tak still kena hike up tu jauh lagi tu 😭😭

But I don't mind to spare some energy for this 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

If you sit on this bench with your partner from the opposite edge, you guys will end up sliding to each other to the center. I guess that's the purpose of this bench.

Habis comel lah tu padahal tengah struggle looking for toilet urgh

Tiba tiba sampai Eifell eh perempuan ini

So pretty <3

You shine even in darkest night. Yes you, light bulb.

Shameless gila suruh a couple take picture of us on proposal stairs 😅 Had electrostatic with the guy who took this picture. He was shocked tak berkelip pandang aku. Maybe dia ingat aku superhuman kot hahaha should have captured his expression weh

And after 10000 poses and shots we finally came to our right mind to go back cause we need to pack for early morning train to BUSAN! Till next round, sekian toceh for now xoxo.
