to Korea

So I think my next trip will be Korea. It may not be the most exotic destination, but somehow I've always wanted to experience their culture. When I read up on the tour guide book, there really isn't one place that one must visit in Korea, but I really wanted to check out the DMZ, how one nation is divided, and take a peek at the mysterious North Korea, or even take a day guided tour there if possible. I think I'll spend a day in the prayer mountain, where lots of people have found revolution in their life there. There's an old fortress called Haemi in which many catholic missionaries got executed during 18th century. Of course there are also all the foodie goodies! There's the 300km/hr train that would be nice to try. Probably spend a day in a hot spring. Then probably spend a few days relaxing in the beautiful Jeju Do, where many movies took location.

I think the biggest challenge in this trip would be the language, especially outside Seoul. That's why I'm busying watching Korean lesson videos now. Amazingly someone uploaded a whole 60 series up to youtube. I'm up to lesson 13 now :)

The flight ticket is much more expensive than before now! I hope I'll have enough money!
