[KOREA] NAMI ISLAND

WHO DONT KNOW NAMI ISLAND? famous because of Winter sonata movie LONGLONGLONG LONG TIME AGO but i just think this place never bored me. After 7 times here using group tour and i did an old post for it, dying of jealosy with other couples, dying come here alone finally last year August 2015, i came here with Mr.H my boyfie ♡♡♡ DREAM COME TRUE HAHAHAAH and after a year, i just came with the post.

So maybe just wondering how to come here alone far away from seoul, how to go? Its quite complicated but yes i make and easy explanation 

TRANSPORTATION

#1 go off GAPYEONG MRT STATION LINE GYEONGUI JUNGAN LINE ￦3000/oneway

#2 take taxi around 10 minutes to nami island ( ￦5000~6000)

BUT if you want to go around gapyeong tourism object like petite france or morning calm garden? It must be so expensive using taxi so! I suggest you using 

"GAPYEONG TOURIST SHUTTLE BUS"

ticket fee= ￦6000

WHOLE DAY USE

right infrontof Gapyeong Station you can see "shuttle bus" sign and just wait! You pay the ticker direct to the driver and keep the ticket for the next use. So just wait and show your ticket and you no need to pay it twice!

EAT

Well in Chuncheon, gapyeong around nami island very very famous with their chicken, 닭갈비 DAKGALBI, marinated grill chicken. So many resturant outside nami or 1 inside nami, all quite same but i have one my mostly-visited- restaurant, named 한옥 HANOK. you can find it laa ok i give you address.

경기도 가평군 가평읍 북한강변로 1025 한옥식당

Actually have 2 type of dakgalbi, regular one and 숮불닭갈 SUTBUL DAKGALBI, charcoal grill dakgalbi the best in the world

Price:

￦12000/portion

[KOREA] INDONESIA BEST AREA NEAR SEOUL

Tinggal jauh dari rumah memang ribet banget apalagi Indonesia ke Korea jauh dan disini susah banget cari makanan indo #hiks. Sebenernya udah denger lamaaaa banget dari temen-temen tapi belum sempet ke tempat ini, akhirnya hari pas lagi libur, gw pergi ke ANSAN. 

Daerah ini terkenal banget deh buat daerah imigrant karena sekitar daerah ini banyak banget pabrik, jadi disini ada "multi cultural center" yang jadi pusat berkumpulnya orang-orang asing, tapi beda dengan Itaewon yang American army based jadi banyak bule di Ansan kebanyakan adalah orang Indonesia, Vietnam, Thailand, India, China, dan beberapa komunitas negara asia lain.

Ketika keluar dari station dan nyebrang lewat underpass, udah keliatan BANYAK BANGETTTTT warung indonesia dan counter counter hp ( recommended banget karena harganya bisa beda ￦100000 sama toko samsungnya, meskipun murah tapi original dan baru)

PONDOK BALI 

jahh terletak di lantai 2 gedung gitu dan keliatan banget dari pinggir jalan raya jadi keliatan gampang banget. Disini khas dengan masakan Jawa Timuran, seperti soto ayam, ayam taliwang dan lain-lain, disini mereka juga jual snack tapi ga gitu lengkap tapi buat makanannya banyakk banget macemnya.

GADOGADO AYAM GORENG

￦9000

super duper rasa indonesia hikss super murah dengan porsi segede gaban ayamnya 2 + gado-gado hampir setengah piring isinya mostly tahu dan tempe ugh bgt deh dan gw sendiri ga abis dan bungkus setengahnya buat makan malem dirumah HAHA

Taste 9/10

Disini super duper ramah sih ga mba nya mas nya dan juga yang punya 사장님. Setelah selesai makan, dikasih free TEH BOTOL KOTAK :") 

BATAVIA

Nah ini juga ga jauh dari Pondok Bali, recommended banget buat yang mau belanja bahan-bahan masakan Indonesia

[KOREA] BAEGUNDAE PEAK, BUGAKSAN

My friend, CI Putri, asked how if we together go hiking, because it is too mainstream jsut go to shopping street or just eat. So we decided to plan our trip to hike BUGAKSAN MOUNTAIN, which is the highest mountain in Seoul. Bugaksan itself has so many peak, but we chose BAEGUNDAE PEAK, the highest peak among all, so It's the highest point of seoul, 836 meters above sea level. 

So we gathered in Gupabal station, I just suprised in this station has so many explanation about the mountain and hiking track well

So from the train station, we had to change taking a bus, to the Bugaksan National Park. hmm it was not that close we took around 20 minutes until we reached the national park. From the bus stop, you have to walk again around 10 minutes until you really see the national park main gate.

Don't worry for get lose, every branches way has a direction. Just follow to BAEGUNDAE PEAK, just 4km not so far, because before I had joint 5k running event #sombongdiawalbolehlahdikit HAHA

Along the way, your eyes gonna be treated by amazing view, mini waterflow, stone, and STAIRS

And if you already find like an information center with vending machine, don't worry it's still FAR WAY TO GO

IT WAS THE HARDEST TIME IN MY LIFE, JINJA!

the stone was getting biggest, as long you getting further, hahh i felt ashamed with all older people who could walk faster than me #koreanoldertypical. Already around 2 hours hiked, and I was dying. I took a rest many times compared with Ci Putri and Ci Catherine, I didnt feel it like 4KM, they must be joking

If you already found this stone gate, pray to God, say thanks because it is not that far to the peak, around other half hour ( for me ) because my tight is too heavy really.

I MADE IT YEAH!

NO NO NO not yet hana still few steps ahead, it just like side of the top, but not yet the highest top. Thanks to all blogger that I've read for this hiking nobody said this track gonna be super exhausting.

Nahhhhh this is the top, if you already see the korean flag, YOU REALLY MADE IT GUYS! total time I took to the top was 3 hours 30 minutes, because i was so slow and easily dying. And i thought it was over but IT WAS NOT, I took another 2hours and 30 minutes went down the peak to the main entrance gate. Welll but super exciting and worth view from the top, but I will doubt myself if  I have to done it one more time HEM
