Busan Attractions

I'm preparing my itinerary for Busan trip. First place i want to visit is  Busan Gamcheon Culture Village

The village is also known as "Santorini on the South Sea" because of its similarity with village in Santorini. Both are colorful and beautiful. You can also find beautiful mural in between the alley.

More photo and info HERE

2. Diamond bridge or Gwangandaegyo Bridge

This is one of Busan landmark. The bridge is more beautiful at night because of its light. In some occasion or celebration event visitors can also view fireworks here.

3. Jagalchi Market
Busan is a port city so it is a heaven for seafood!! This is also the place where you can eat live squid !!
You can buy any seafood at Jagalchi and later ask them to cook for you. Yummy , fresh from the sea.

There are a lots of other attraction and i just highlight my "Top 3"
We can either fly direct to Busan or take KTX ( Fast train ) from Seoul.
Cant wait for the trip...hmm AirAsia still promoting their free seat sales....lets go to Busan !
This video from 2PM ( Nichkhun, Wooyoung ,Junho)  and Choi Ji Woo (narrator) really makes me want to go to Busan.   FYI Wooyoung is  Busan namja.
In this Lotte video they went to Gamcheon village.

World Cup Fever : Team Korea Republic

The 2014  Brazil WC will kick off on 12 June 2014. Korea Republic team is in Group H.
2002 World Cup marked the highest rank for Asian team as team Korea (The Reds) reach semifinal ! Dae Han Min Guk ! / Go Korea ( the unique cheer for team Korea ). You can even hear this cheer in TV during the match.

I remembered when Korea / Japan is the host ,that is the nearest location from my country but I'm still studying back then...no money .Hmm i can only visit the Seoul World Cup stadium to reminisce the 2002 WC. I am Team Korea supporters , well since my country is not in the final, I will support Team  Korea. One of my travel bucket list is to watch World Cup match "live", i hope the host will be back to Asian continent in future.I never miss watching World Cup matches since high school because of its thrill and suspense.

The heroes for 2002 Ahn Jung Hwan,Park Ji Sung,Lee Young Pyo etc already hang their boots but at that time  I'm seriously so proud of them!!! They beat Italy!!!*2002 also is  the last use of the Golden  Goal rule.

Ahn Jung Hwan

JS Park

In last World Cup ( 2010) KTO organize World Cup Street Cheering at Ampang. All of us wear the Red Jersey and shirt to support Team Korea. It is so fun , they even bring the drum to cheer the team. Of course nothing beat the joy of celebrating goal with other fellow supporters ! Hopefully there is another event for this year World Cup.

What do i expect for World Cup 2014?
It might been a slow start as they lost to Tunisia but let us judge on the real match. Let's have faith to Hyung Myung Bo 's team. At least reach semifinal again ?? Please remember your supporters are not just from South Korea, but from other fellow Asian country too. Aja Aja Fighting !!  Cant wait to wear my red jersey^^

Harbour Plaza Resort City , Hong Kong

I really like this hotel serviced suites, it is spacious. The only disadvantage is limited wifi (only at lobby).
It is located next to mall and only 40 minutes ( by road ) to Disneyland.
Nearest MTR : MTR Tin Shui Wai Station

Electric kettle provided, daily complimentary water 

 

 

mini kitchen with microwave + double hotplate

large fridge

Best thing for Malaysian and Singaporean travelling to Hong Kong ....no need to bring special adaptor. We use the same 3 point plug..advantage of Commonwealth country , i guess.

Halal Food Hong Kong Disneyland n its attraction

Second visit ke Hong Kong Disneyland. Masa pegi 1st time tahun 2009 . Nak mengfulfil childhood wishla katakan..dulu2 baca Disneyland ada kat Florida- jauhnye...pastu ada kat Jepun..jauh gak rasa dahle kena visa.(dulu) Inila Disneyland yg terdekat  dengan Malaysia.
Masa datang 1st time siap dorang buat survey ...ofcoursela kami bagi pendapat nak makanan halal.
Alhamdulillah hasil survey mereka tau ada demand untuk halal food.dah ada 2 restoran  Halal di Disneyland Hong Kong. ( Jepun masih takde restoran halal certified)

2 Restaurant suitable for Muslim in HK Disneyland ( Halal )
1.Mystic point area - Explorer Club Restaurant . (Map no.34)
Price range - over HKD 100.
2.Adventureland area - Tahitian Terrace (Map no. 24)
Price range - below HKD100
Merasalah makan nasi rega RM40 ( takpe yang penting Halal)

Menu at Explorer Club

 Menu at Tahitian

Nampak halal display card  kat aiskrim tu terusla beli 1....lol HKD 20 lebih kurang RM10lah.panas dow.

tu logo Halal untuk makanan dlm restoren

Side dish- satay HKD 35 ( 3 cucuk) ada di dua2 tempat.

Dari dulu teringin nak makan waffle bentuk Mickey tp camne tah tak jumpa2,  ni bukan dekat section Halal tp waffle kan buat dari tepung. Akan dihidang bersama strawberry dan syrup.harga HKD 50 ( mmg tak logik makan waffle RM20 tapi teringin)

Mickey waffle at Main street ( Map no.10)

Prayer room / Surau
Located near entrance.Map. no,6  Not specifically designed as prayer room , Its actually breastfeed room. But you can pray here and take wudhu' at toilet next door. Need to inform staff at the counter as there are only 2 room and it may be occupied. 1 bilik muat 5 orang. Better pergi sekali n tunggu giliran.

My choice of attractions : (not in Map order)
Ada 2 rollercoaster but rollercoaster is not my style...lol

this one also not my style (toy story land)

1. Mickey's 3d - ada scene bakar kek..fuh mmg terbau keknya (Map 45)

3. Mystic manor (Map 32) ala 2d yg penting duduk n indoor haha

4.Its a small world - duduk n enjoy  (map 51)
5.The golden Mickey - musical *follow show time guide (map 52) bole pegi b4 or after makan kat Tahiti

Tips :
1. Outside food not allowed but there is paid locker outside ( kalu nak jimat duit food tapi kena reenter Disneyland) ..snack/biskut boleh lepas masuk.Ada org check bag sebelum masuk.
2. Bring mineral water- unlimited refill ( there' water filter outside toilet) jimat tak yah beli banyak2 kali.

Dont worry you never too old for Disneyland :p
