Let's start the journey in Korea. First and foremost, plenty of gratitude and salute to my dearest cousin/ friend/ travel partner/ photographer
Tiffany Sy Soo for the lovely and well-planned Korea trip during 2014 summer holidays. Without her, I would turn crazy with my poor sense of direction and oh my, Korea public transport map! So many lines link here and there... Major language in Korea is
Korean, but if you cannot speak any like me, nevermind, quite many of the locals can speak
Chinese and few in
English.
Again, high appreciation and acknowledgement to Tiffany Sy Soo as the most important source of information and photos, while the elaboration is merely my feeling and opinion.

Eateries
Highly highly recommended Sinsun Seolnongtang, my second meal in Korea (first meal was McD in Incheon Airport). First sip on the soup and I was totally in love with it. I am always a soup lover (p/s: non-spicy one) since I was a kid, so this meal left me a great impact especially in the sense of satisfaction. Don't look down on the dumplings, three went down together with the bowl of rice and reached the end of your throat then you realized, burp, you are too full to speak a word. First rainy, cold night with this hot meal in front of you, what more can you ask for? It's comfortable to warm up the whole body here.
We came back for the same restaurant again the very last night before our flight back Malaysia the next day, but was having the meal in a haste to settle some matter on shopping bill. >.<
