South Korea Winter Trip. Day 5: Nami Island

I've to admit that I was among the k-drama goers back in 2002. Left the office early to catch 'Winter Sonata' romance screenplay in the late evening, was something that I myself couldn't imagine. It is a story about a young girl, Yoo-Jin, who felt for Joon-Sang, an introverted teenager. I could made myself an introverted back then... :P

Ok, back to the Nami Island trip. It was one of the Winter Sonata's filming location and known for its beautiful stretch of Ginko tree lane. There were several spots specific to the location where the scenes were held, easily recognized with statues or signs that indicate it.

An entry visa fee of ₩8,000 to get into Naminara Republic and it comes with two-way ferry ticket. It was freezing cold once we stepped on to the island. We just can't wait to explore the island. Ok.. from now on, let's the pictures do the talking.

Not so crowded as it was just early

A welcoming sign... I guess

More pictures.... :P

Wonder what's look like when it's really winter

Look at the ice!

And we just realized how big is the island...

We moved back to the town after spending more than 3 hours at Nami Island. We visited yet other places where the drama scenes took place.

Stopped for lunch on the way back to Seoul city

Before sunset, we back to our hotel and walked around the vicinity. Just after the dinner, we called it a day.

Journey Review

Thinking of the same idea as what Zarin did in his wrapping up post, I'll do the same for the sake of my own record. This post will be updated from time to time. Some of the trip may have a specific write-up and you may click on the travelling month. Here is the world travel map, courtesy of TripAdvisor. A bit of Statistics: Total countries visited = 22/195 [Last updated : September 2023] Our Travel Map. [Courtesy of TripAdvisor. According to them, we only covered 13% of the Earth at the moment :P .... still long way to go and we didn't show USA map as to when we will be there]

Singapore Trip: A lion-city escapade

Watch out! It is a zika-free :P trip to the city of light that we had on the 2nd mid-term school holiday, apart from the 'balik kampung' to Ipoh and JB on both week end. My wife managed to secure a stay for 2 nights at the 'Rumah Peranginan Persekutuan' where it supposed to be a big family trip with my siblings. It was a big vacation house, which I believe can cater at least 15-20 people. For some reasons, they had to turn it down. Note: Pictures taken are not in the best quality as I'm still get my hands on the new DSLR camera.. wink.. wink..

Shopping sakan di Langkawi

Kenangan bersama mak... Bulan januari yang lepas, rombongan keluarga Perak buat trip ke Melaka. Sekarang giliran keluarga Johor pulak pegi berjalan.. errr bershopping sakan di Langkawi. Kalau nak diikutkan, gambar tengah syiok bershopping lagi banyak. Tapi takde sapa yang snap gambar . Hujung minggu kali nie serentak dengan Tahun Baru Cina.. ALhamdulillah dapat kumpulkan adik-beradik bersekali ngan mak ayah, buat trip ke Langkawi. Cuma keluarga adik yang bongsu pergi lebih awal. Dapat la die snap gambar kat Langkawi airport. Pagi hari pertama kami ke KLIA dan tinggalkan kereta kat sana. Takut terlebih2 shopping masa balik nanti, payah pulak nak sewa van. Jadi kami bawak kereta memasing. Kadar parking lebih kurang RM150 untuk 4 hari 3 malam. Bila buat kira2, lebih kurang je dengan sewa teksi pergi balik ke KLIA.
