I never thought i will visit an expo ...but i did visit an international expo and it is located at South Korea !
c the big o?
Yeosu expo start from 05.12.2012 ~ 08.12.2012 and coincidentally my vacation to Korea falls within that range.CNN has list this expo as must visit so i have included this expo in the itinerary. The main theme is "The Living Ocean and Coast "
My first impression is it is massive and amazing.. ! A lot of country participate in this expo !
You can go to Yeosu by bus, train and aeroplane. After considering time and our budget ,we decided to go to Yeosu via KTX. We using the KR pass saver for this trip. In order to have one day full visit we take train from Seoul Station at 5:10 am and we will go back to Seoul at 9:50 pm
The KTX depart on time and it is convenience. If u bring your earphone u can listen to songs provided in the train. It is the latest song they play from Big Bang, CNBLUE to OST of Rooftop Prince and Love Rain. It is also has nice view looking at the paddy field outside the window.Read the guide book as you can also charge your phone here
We arive at 8:20.. I also bought the Yeosu ticket via online and need to redeem it at counter. It is weekdays and people already queueing.
Once you enter you will see interactive screen on the ceiling. There is a photo collage appear in the screen and sometimes in form of whale :)
The first thing that we go is the international pavilion. Went to Japan Pavilion it interesting where their story is about a boy and tsunami and the relation between tree and sea. We also went to Thailand Pavilion. They gave us fridge magnet and there is mermaid in there is use of 4d style in the pavilion.
Next is Singapore pavilion, of course since we are from South East Asia the staff ask bout us. They also the one who inform us regarding Malaysia week. lol we miss the launch , They also has propose using sea and process the waste instead of land.
For lunch we went to of course Malaysia Pavilion , they perform some traditional dance and they also sell nasi Lemak(Halal) and teh Tarik. The price is not the same but this is import wei ! and it taste delicious. Malaysia Pavilion showcase the 1 malaysia theme and malaysia beautiful coast , flora and fauna,. They also let us pray there. Thank guys.. erk do u want part time haha just because they stay in Korea till August! A must visit to others ( bias much ? lol)
After lunch we went to Indonesia,Australia , Philippines . Each country has their own unique presentation on the theme.
Dugong story
I also went to this pavilion where they focus on dugong.. ! dugong is so cute speaking in Korean language!
korea pavilion
Korea Pavilion as host is also has turn their pavilion as big aquarium.. the image is amazing! there is also some dancing /game during presentation.
Germany.. u may not won euro 2012... First we amaze that suddenly the screen is split into doors! this is a must for u - student !
The big hype of the aquarium also make us queue there.. the attraction is the white beluga and the tunnel where u can see eel,fish swim across u.
Time envy us so much ( totally cant finish touring the expo in one day)

Other than auarium, we have the opportunity to watvh Jump theatre there. See no need to go to Seoul! They are hillarious!!
Oh because we purchase return tix at 9:50 pm so we are unable to watch the Big O performance.So watch herela !
Overall we enjoy Yeosu and ahjumma and ahjussi is so nice they like to greet us and even offer us sweets. Thanks Saranghae !! This one of memory than i will recap with a smile - i have visited Yeosu Expo (which i arrange all bymyself) and if i come again i will go to other attractions in Yeosu.
I am Cloud/ Rain fan because of Full House. I already knew Song Hye Gyo from Autumn In my Heart. Ironically when i first tune to this drama i said " the hero is not so handsome" lol but Rain charms really grow in me. If you ask me now who is the most handsome man in world. Duh it is Rain ! He change the definition and perception of handsome! Single eye lid is handsome! Plus he is talented- he can sing and act!Im also happy that Song Hye Gyo able to move from mello cry drama to happy fun mood drama.
Ok back to to Full House location. I got info from blogs but most accurate info will be from KTO. I know that Full House is at Incheon.It is not that far from Incheon International Airport but u need to take fery. So i reccomend u girls to go here once u land in Seoul.U can keep you bag there as there is store to keep your bag.Cant recall the store name but we pay 9000w per bag.
Here is the direction from Incheon Airport. (provided by KTO)
1. Incheon Airport-->Sammok Pier
Taxi: about 20min (estimated taxi fare: 10,000 won). Bus: Take Bus 303 from Incheon Airport (Gate 2A, 9A or 13A) and get off at Poonglim Apartment Bus Stop. Transfer to Bus 710 and get off at Sammok Dock.
2. Sammok Dock -> Sindo Island -> Sido Island (where Full House set is)
Ferry Info:

Schedule: 07:10-18:10 (departs at 1 hr intervals), 19:30

* Travel time: 10 min / Round-trip Ticket: 3,600 won
* From Sindo Island, you can take a local bus to Sido.
Thanks Kto Hq and KTO KL for the info
We take taxi to Sammok Pier as my Hangul is limited i dont think im capable to change bus at the right place. We take taxi and the fare is 17000w.
We arrive early morning at Sammok Pier. It was silent that i thought it is wrong place and "omg what am i doing here". But put the negative thought away as once we saw the ferry - the staff already knew we are going to Sindo ( coz obviouly we look so foreigner) Like Sindo ? he show us to go upstair. The ferry is for car and lorry too.
Kto Kl already inform us it takes only 10 minutes to Sindo Island. But once we arrived there no one except car depart to that pier. So i think this is not Sindo Island . Wrong !!! it is Sindo Island and now our ferry is going to the next Island. Staff ahjussi saw us and ask Sindo ? He said something in Korea and ask us in body language to stay. Ok we need to wait till the ferry return back to Sindo which took like almost 1 hour...sobs sobs.
Finally we are here...Sindo! We saw a bus and ask for Sido. The bus fare is 1000w .
But the bus only go to the nearest bus stop and we need to walk around 1.3 km . I think we can also rent bicycle there (near bus stop) but we choose to walk.
Alert ! if you never exercise ,dont choose to walk , take taxi at Sindo Pier coz oh boy it will be so tiring and painful haha.
So we walk we walk we walk and we can see Full House yeah !
We need to pay ticket around 3000w and ahjussi told us to take a look around the house. The house of Han Ji Eun and Lee Young Jae
Oh i even brought 2 aprons in order to be in character kekeke. So here we are :
Full House
Kitchen
Han Ji Eun i want my breakfast!
You sure remember living room scene where Rain sings three bears and Ji Eun need to clean the wall and stair. At first only us were there until tourist from Japan come along. Well the more the merrier!
young jae hides here
rooms
Ji Eun kept her ring here
Ji eun bed
the big young jae poster is replace with this in his room
Young jae bed, beware of ghost outside !

Ji eun always wait here and that is her bike
aja aja fighting
Ji eun sleep here lol
Poor rain they should change this
the path
hehe

Rain jog here
hehe their apron is nicer
I will miss this house..
The house is clean.But the condition of the house could be better. u can see from outside it is quite old and rusty?? Anyway this drama is one of hallyu factor and i can replay this drama again and again.
So we went back ..still walking and we pay the ferry ticket at (at Sindo Pier - 4000w). We wait for bus . It also heartwarming that there is ahjussi who ask us where to when he cant speak english
and he insist us to take the same bus wioth him after we said airport. Then another ahjussi who can speak english help and with the driver .We need to change to other bus (it is near Woonglim Apt) fare is 1000w and we arrive at airport safely. We pick up our bag and went to guesthouse.
2.Use KR pass if you want to travel around South Korea eg Yeosu.
This pass is only for foreigner.. we can use it to ride KTX.. I have compare this when i go to Yeosu and it sure has a lot of saving.
4. Mpass - depends on your travel plan,the pass is up to 20 trips subway per day. It will be worth it if you use subways frequent in a day for the whole trip. If it is just a short ride better if u use t-money (like touch and go ) fare pay by tmoney is cheaper than cash ticket. You can also add money for its t-money function for taxi and bus if u opt for mpass. *not valid for airport express
5. Always check with your local KTO office. For malaysia, currently they offer discount to everland and folk village till August 2012 . they will also provide you with maps and other thing.
6. Opt for guesthouse instead hotel. A lot cheaper. But bear in mind you need to bring all your essential -eg towel, toothpaste etc.. n depends on room u may or may not have your own private bathroom.(share bathroom)
7.Lastly buy flight ticket during sale.So make sure u alert on every announcement :)
so selamat berjalan kalau ada lagi tempat murah silalah bagitau.
