Musim Luruh Korea - Hari 1

Assalamualaikum..

This is back dated entry,
warning : this gonna be long entry..huhu..
We arrive at Incheon Intnl Airport at 6.03 am. The temperature around 13C.
Taken my wudhuk at toilet..i was shivering..people was staring, maybe they been thinking "apehal budak ni basah2 muke bagai..dah la sejuk2"..hehe
I was performing my subuh prayer behind advertisement board near the airport shuttle. Luckily i have electronic compass showing the direction of Kaabah.

The immigration was smooth. Our breakfast was a roti and susu coklat..yummy..
Buy T-money at 7E cost me 2500 won, topup with 20000 won.

Since we dont do roaming at Korea, we opt to phone rental from SK telecom. Renting fee cost 3000 won per day. Call charges to malaysia cost 1290 won per minute. The staff is friendly and speak good English. FYI, to do phone rental, you must have credit card. They dont charge to your credit card, unless you lose the phone or rent for more than 15 days.

The journey start with us taking Arex from Incheon Airport to Gimpo Airport. The cost is about 2800 won by T-money. If you use single ticket, include additional charge of 100 won. From Gimpo Airport we transfer to subway Line 9. Our initial plan is to go to Korea National Museum at Ichon.
But due to heavy luggage, we stop at Yeouido and transfer to subway Line 5 heading to Jongno-(3)sam-ga where our guesthouse located.
When arriving Jongno-(3)sam-ga station, we been having difficulties to located the guesthouse as we didnt print any address or direction to the guesthouse. We decided to leave by exit 3. Walk around to try our luck. One Ahjumma try to help us, since she speak korean+ we speak english = Cakap ayam dengan itik la.. at last, we found the guesthouse with the help from Ahjusshi who work at parking area near Jongno. Kamsahamnida Ahjusshi.

Luckily the guesthouse owner allowed us to check in early. We pay the accomodation fee 240000 won for 6 night stay.

We bath, perform Solat zuhur and asar and heading to Chandeokgung. since the palace is around the corner, we walk randomly, using signboard as a guide.

Entrance fee is 5000 won, if im not mistaken, but there's been promotion 10000 won to enter 5 palace. so, we opt to the promotion ticket.

Enjoy the photos around chandeokgung and secret garden.
















During the night, We go to Namsan tower. To go there by subway, take Subway Line 3 or Line 4 and stop and Changmuro station. Leave by Exit 2, and take bus number 2 or 5 to Namsan Tower. Entrance fee - 14000 won : Namsan Tower + teddy bear museum











We meet Malaysian student who study at korea and UTM student who been visiting to korea, have some chit chat and left.

End of day 1. Tomorrow, we'll be heading to Nami Island. Till next entry.
