Spring in South Korea - Day 1

Ni adelah entry tertunda ... aku just backdated to the actual date this trip was taken..

Day 1 - 28/4/2011

After so many months of planning, akhirnye hari yg ditunggu2 dah tiba... dengan berbekalkan info2 dari forum Cari, aku melangkah kaki ke negara KPop, Kdrama ini... beg merah size 24" tu la yg aku angkut sampai nak tercabut tangan .. pastu beg hitam citibank tu plak letak jacket & dslr & telekung .... terbang dengan 2 org kawan forumer dari Cari jugak.. masing2 excited tak hengat walaupun level of confident tu takde la tinggi mane pun...

Actually this is the first time aku terbang dengan AA after so many years.. the last time aku naik AA aku rase in 2006 kot..tu pun fly from KK to Miri jer... after moved to Miri & Brunei, tiket flight aku ke KL were sponsored by the company, hence it's has always been MAS .. or RBA ... so aku agak la jakun mase kat LCCT nak check in.. hahahahha....

Memulanye kan, kitorang plan nak pi for 7 days jer... from 28/4 sampai 5/5 .. tapi bile pk2 balik, alang2 nak pegi, better la pegi lame sket kan.. so terus la kitorang tukar tiket, balik on 7/5 ... of course, AA akan kenekan penalty charge RM125 for every date changes kan... tapi sib baik la takde difference in price tiket ... kitorang jugak beli seat coz masing2 taknak dok pecah2 kan.. so seat kitorang 21A, 21B, 21C ... harus la duduk kat belah kiri plane kan.... you'll be suprise when you see the sunset view later ....



Flight D7 2682 bertolak on time kul 1.35pm and estimated to arrive in Incheon kul 9.35pm ... it was one of the most pleasant flying times i've ever had .. takde turbulence takde ape.. cuaca terang sepanjang jalan... even the captain ade annouce expected thunder storm mase approaching Taipei, tapi mmg takde any sort of turbulence langsung ... seat belt sign pun was turned on mase nak take off and mase nak turun jer... the best part was the sunset view... i could see sunset for more than 1 hour... it was beautiful.. takleh nak gambar dengan kate2...
Meal dah order siap2 online..... Chicken BBQ ni mmg sedap makan time perut kosong ....

Flight arrived in Incheon ahead of schedule ... kul 8.55 dah sampai ...and suhu outside was 10C ... oh man... and there i was with a thin t-shirt & a lite jacket ... dah sampai tu, singgah toilet dulu.. pastu just follow the crowd je la... siap kene naik aerotrain bagai utk gi ke main terminal ... same mcm KLIA jugak , but the difference is, this is a huge airport.. with lots more passengers... train penuh sesak.... nak beratur kat immigration lak sekian.. tapi thank god passing the immigration was a breeze... takde tanye soklan pun... beg2 kitorang pun takde depa check.. takut gak cos ade yg citer2 beg diorang kene tahan sebab bawak serunding ....

Sampai kat arrival hall, kitorang kutip2 brochures kat information counter... pastu mencarik2 la tempat nak amik bus 6015 pegi Myeongdong ... semua info2 mane nak tuju, amik exit mane semua kitorang dah prepare awal2... yer la first time nak jalan2 tempat org, harus la kene fully prepared gitu... kitorang takde sesat pun .. arrival hall tu pretty straight forward.... kluar2 dari tempat amik baggage, dah nampak pintu2 exit .. terus je la pegi ke Exit 5 utk amik bus 6015... mase tu dah kul 10pm lebey, so kaunter tiket airport bus dah tutup.. so kitorang kene bayar tiket bas mase nak naik... rega 10,000 won saje....


Tak ramai pun yg naik bas ni.. dlm 12 org gitu jer kot.... journey from Incheon to Myeongdong is about 1 hour.. oh btw, airport bus ni ade seat belt yer.. and ahjussi drebar bas tu siap pegi check each passenger to make sure semua org pakai seat belt....

Bus ni jugak ade annoucement in Korean, English, Mandarin & Japanese... so takde la berlaku kejadian termiss stop ke hape kan... kitorang akan turun kat last stop, which is Sejong Hotel ... sepanjang jln ni, mmg tak nampak ape laaa.... gelap kiri kanan.... nak layan tido pun tak bleh.. coz hati berkeras nak tengok view kat luar jugak... finally dlm kul 11 lebey gitu, kitorang sampai kat last stop... time ni kluarkan map and carik direction cemane nak gi Namsan 2 Guesthouse... kene cross jalan thru subway station, which has soooooooooooo many stairs... hadoooii.... rase nak tercabut kaki tangan dok angkut beg merah aku tu....


Around 11.30pm, kitorang selamat sampai guesthouse.... rega private room ni 55,000 won per nite... tapi since kitorang bertiga, kene tambah lagik 10,000 for additional tilam.. total kene bayar mase check in = 585,000 won for 9 nites

Dah masuk2 bilik, tengok2 mak aiii..kecik gilos biliknye...camni la gambar bilik tu with 2 beds... and yet kitorang nak kene tambah another 1 bed... aku rase mcm hangin gak laa... pastu kitorang bincang2 kejap, then decide nak tukar bilik... so aku turun la bawah pi tanye kat reception, ade bilik kosong ker... unfortunately, takde bilik kosong yg besar for the next few days... a few days after baru ade.. then for the last few days, kitorang kene pindah balik masuk bilik kecik tu... last2 tak jadik la tukar bilik.... had to make do with the small room... so posisi tilam tu pun kene tukar la utk accomodate another bed.... beg2 semua terpaksa letak bawah meja tv ... my beg end up depan bilik air... sangat2 tak selesa ok... the room is too crowded for 3 people... tapi mlm tu lena je kitorang tido... diorang ade heater on the floor... nice.....
