Honeymoon in Korea.. ^_^ (Part 2-End)

Okay..now I'm going to continue my story about Honeymoon in Korea. The third day, we only could visit 3 places because the weather was really unfriendly with us. It was rain all day! Only stopped for less than 1 hour.. Huhu.. Well, but the unfriendly weather didn't stop our journey to explore Seoul. Hohoho.. First, we visited Bukchon Hanok Village. Bukchon Hanok Village is surrounded by Gyeongbokgung Palace, Changdeokgung Palace, and Jongmyo Shrine. The different between Bukchon Hanok Village and Namsangol Hanok Village (that we visited the day before) is the hanok in Bukchon are still used by people to stay while the hanok in Namsangol are only building and not used by people. You also can experience to stay in hanok (guest house) and do some workshop there. Click here for more details about Buckhon Hanok Village.







Then, we visited SPAO, one of shop in Myeong-dong shopping area who sells souvenir from SM Entertainment's artists. You can visit it in 5th floor of SPAO. Unfortunately, it's a forbidden to take picture there. But, I took a picture in front of the shop. Hohoho..


After visiting SPAO, we decided to have dinner near there. We ate dumpling and grilled pork..hohoho..


The fourth day, we visited The War Memorial of Korea. This place is the sanctuary of national defense of Korea to feel the live history which Korea had been defended its country for 500 years and this place is a place for Korean to learn lessons from war and to make a practical determination that they will never experience the tragedy of war again. This museum consists of two areas, indoor area and outdoor area. In indoor area, you can visit to The Memorial Hall, The War History Room, The Korean Room, The Expeditionary Forces Room, The Armed Forces Room, The Larga Equipment Room and The Korean Defense Industries Room. We also experienced the situation when the war was existed. In outdoor area we saw vehicles, tanks, field artillery, air craft, armored car, guns from warships, submarines, radar, etc, which were used in World War II, Korean War, and Vietnam War.

From the War Memorial of Korea, we moved to Insadong again to buy another souvenir..hohoho.. Then, we went back to hotel to take some rest before doing some photo shoots in Seoul Global Tourism Center.

After took some rest, we visited Seoul Global Tourism Center in M Plaza that is located in Myeong-dong shopping area. We visited that place to take some photo shoots wearing Hanbok (Korea's traditional costume). It's free of charge but you have to do registration in the same day and choose what time you want to have a photo session, and you will have one hour for each photo session.



And...the next day was time to go back to Jakarta.. I hope in the near future, I can visit Korea again with my husband, my kids (hihihi..), and my family.. Amen.. Thanks God for this opportunity.. And thanks to my Mommy who has helped me prepare the documents for visa application. Hohoho..
