Today our itinerary is Go to Jeju Island, from busan to Jeju, That’s why the title is “Good bye Busan & Hello Jeju”.

We will fly to Jeju with Jeju Air. We already asked Sung oppa to call Taxi for us, we will fly around 12 p.m, but because of afraid with traffic, sung oppa told us to go early. So he book taxi for 10 a.m.

In this deck, we meet a couple that really really sweet. They are not young anymore, maybe already over 50. The man has a love sticker in his cheek,  they walk together with hiking outfit, but the guy bring a radio , play a very old song I think, and walking side by side, holding hand , stop to taking picture, the vibe is so romantic and make you happy to see how happy they are.

After take some time, enjoy the scenery and fresh air there. Sung oppa took us to someplace that actually we don’t know where is this. He just stop in front of a hotel. He will wait us here in the car, and we can going around near the hotel. At first I don’t get it, why he want us to circle this park, It’s look just like a park for me. until I see some sign board, that in the park, I can see APEC house, I can see mermaid statue and many more. it’s so nice park i think.

Autumn in Korea – Day 2 (Busan) – HaeDongYongGung Temple

Hi, It’s time to continue my story about our trip, Autumn in Korea. After Day 1 part 1 and part 2, Finally I have time and throw away my laziness to write our experience in Korea. So, in Day 2, we still at Busan. The night before, we talk to Sung Oppa that we can start our trip at 10.00 AM. But, because we are so lazy to wake up early and we started at 11.00 AM, it’s already too late I think for traveler, but what can we do, Sung oppa house is too comfortable for us. As always in our trip, Big Sis always wake up first, because we only can use 1 bathroom, we taking turn t0 shower. The first is always Big Sis, and then me or Miss Pepz, and the last (always the last) is Mr Damz. Sung oppa told me that his mom is cooking soup for breakfast, and we can have it for breakfast, but we didn’t see his mom, his sister, so we feel it’s not right to take it without permission, so we just eat another samgak kimbap that we bought yesterday. At 10 am, Sung oppa show up , he slept at her girlfriend house yesterday (this is just our assumption, because he said he go to halloween party with her girlfriend, but we’re pretty sure about this). He said that he afraid that he already too late, and we already wait him to go, but we even not ready yet that time. So he have time to grooming himself first. Finally, we ready and begin our journey. Our first destination is Hae Dong Yong Gung Temple . Haedong Yonggungsa Temple is situated on the coast of the north-eastern portion of Busan. This superb find of a tourist spot and temple offers visitors the rare find of a temple along the shore line and it’s very old temple, it built in 1376, already more than 600 hundred years. I am sorry that I can describe to you how to get there, because we just sit nicely and beautifully inside Sung oppa car. We discussed where we want to go, Sung oppa said yes, and we arrived savely at that place. Just like that, our live in Busan it’s so not traveler I think. Hahahha Before we go to Haedong Yonggusa, Sung oppa take us to the deck observatory. From there we can see Busan from above. So beatiful scenery, but too bad the weather is not so good, the clouds is little bit grey. So the photo we take it’s look like so cloudy becouse the sky is so dark. We go to 3 place. The view is so cool and beautiful, and of course so nice to take a photo. The first and second place we go before we go to Haedong Yonggusa, and the last place we go after lunch.

Traveling to Korea – Preparation – 10 must have items

Hi  Readers….Lama tak bersua. Kali ini Lil Sis akan cerita pengalaman Lil Sis ke Korea, Korea Selatan tentunya, tempat asal muasal K-Pop, K-Drama, dan oppa-oppa yang ganteng ganteng dan unyu unyu itu. But sebelum Lil Sis cerita pengalaman Lil Sis dan Big Sis di Korea, ada baiknya Lil Sis menjelaskan perjalanan panjang sebelum akhirnya kita bisa berangkat ke negeri Ginseng ini. So, berawal di tahun 2013, pembicaraan ingin pergi ke Korea ini sudah mencuat, secara Lil Sis dan Big Sis salah satu pecinta Korea, dan sebagai fans yang baik, niat pergi ke Korea itu sudah lama sekali muncul dan kita simpan sembari menabung berharap suatu saat akan berangkat ke sana. Selain mengumpulkan uang mencari teman pergi juga is a must. Kami punya banyak teman penggemar Korea, salah duanya adalah Miss Pepz dan Mr Damz. Jika kalian sebelumnya pernah membaca postingan kami yang lain, nama Miss Pepz ini sudah sering muncul sebagai teman kuliner kami, perjalanan pertama big Sis ke Singapore salah satunya juga bersama Miss Pepz. Selain itu, ada Mr Damz, dia adalah teman sekantor Lil Sis dan Miss Pepz, sekarang sih udah nggak, baru resign Oktober lalu. Mr Damz ini salah satu K-fans juga, ngefans banget sama SNSD, Park Min Young, dan Running Man. Waktu RM ke Indo, doi bela belain nunggu di bandara Soetta demi ngeliatin para member RM yang kece kece, sukses ngeliat dari dekat sambil desak desakan sama massa yang juga punya tujuan sama kayak dia, akhirnya dia sukses deh berjabat tangan dengan VJ Jae Suk atau kwon Ryeol. Lumayan daripada nggak sama sekali.

Jadi bulan November 2013, muncul promo di salah  satu maskapai penerbangan, yang langsung saya sebutkan saja namanya, yaitu Air Asia. Kami menemukan tiket yang lumayan murah ke Korea, pp sekita 3jtan.  Perginya Rp 1,099,333,33 + Pulang Rp 1,959,517,33 = Rp 3,058,850.66. Ini sudah dalam rupiah, ketika itu kurs nya sekitar 11,4. Karena lumayan murah, maka tanpa pikir panjang lagi kami pun membeli tiketnya. Kami berangkat tanggal 3o okt 2014 dan Pulang 13 Nov 2014. Beli tiket untuk pergi setahun kemudian. Wow kan. Tiket pergi kami, dari jakarta ke Busan, sedangkan tiket pulang kami dari Seoul ke Jakarta. Kami memang berencana pergi ke Seoul, Busan dan Jeju. Jadi kami membeli tiket PP seperti itu, lalu bagauimana cara dari busan ke seoul ke Jejunya itu kami akan pikirkan nanti. hahahaha.dalam waktu 1 tahun itu tentulah kami punya cukup banyak waktu untuk persiapan.

Nah, apa aja sih yang perlu kami persiapkan untuk perjalanan kami ke Korea ini? Ini dia 10 hot item yang kami persiakan ke korea. Continue reading
