K-Spot and K-Tour

Blogging is not as easy as what I thought~~~ :P

Where should I start first... should I post every single places I visited in Korea by time sequences or just randomly selected some of the spots?

I guess post them randomly should be ok. It doesn't matter anyway, as you don't need to follow my itinerary from A to Z, rite?

Will be posting some of the places that I might be visiting this coming September. 아~~~ 기분이 좋다 (feel happy just thinking of it :P)

By the way, you can go to buzz Korea for travel information. You can also plan your trip using K-spot, which you can filter on category (Fun Tour, Gourmet Tour, Style Tour or Other), City / Province, and District.

You can save spots that you like and create your own K-tour from K-spots that you save earlier and share it with others too ^^

Here are some of  K-spots and K-tours that I created last year...

I'd saved so many spots that shared by others... I think it's more interesting to plan your own itinerary as you can go to the places you love to visit. That's why I said my previous trip was blessing in disguise as the travel agency cancelled my tour. And I'm so excited to plan my next trip, but kinda headache too as too many places I wanna go!!!


K-Spot - places that I visited in Korea 
with short introduction, address, direction and link/website (if available)



Create your own K-tour:
=> Pick few K-spots of the places you want to visit
=> Select those K-spots and click Preview to see K-spots on the map
=> Arrange the sequence of the places accordingly by using the arrow on the K-Spot
=> Save K-Spots and Create K-Tour


Ok, I need to add a lot of K-spots as some of the places I want to go still not listed there.

Do you have any suggestions on where to visit for family with young kids?

Have a wonderful day~!

























Korea Event for May - Jun 2013

I promised myself that I must visit Korea in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Last trip was in Summer, but temperature was around 20 - 25C, my friends there complained that the weather was too hot! As I was told it's hot and humid.

Horray!!! I just packed some short and sleeveless tees with average thickness of cotton material, cardigan and shawls. Should be just fine for me as it'll feel like in air-con room... No need to carry big luggage as it'll be troublesome to travel here and there as we're not joining tour. We brought 1 big and 1 small luggage. We just carried small luggage and left big luggage in my friend, Mr Kim's house as it's just few clothes for the last 3 days in Seoul and some souvenirs only.

It was still alright when we're in Seoul ^^

Omo!!! Was it called Summer? So windy and it was like air-con blown directly to me when we reached Jeju Island (shivering in cold throughout my trip).  Help... Help!!! I think if they're come to Singapore, then they will feel like being BBQ here :P

So to travel in Winter? Hahaha... not sure whether I can survive there or not! Let's not think of that first~~~

Now it's Spring!!! Flower blossoms everywhere... Everyday I saw nice photos posted on FB. Cherry blossom and flowers everywhere! Ok, I'll teleport myself there now...
