officially taking 2 weeks off
back-to-back
for the second half of October
tickets to Shenzhen
booked 3 weeks ago
pretty well-planned
flying to Shenzhen for a transit
heading to some inland cities via
High Speed Rail
followed by Seoul
2 days later
my sis has been bugging me recently
I thought she was just joking
I mean ya sometimes
you told someone
let’s plan a trip together next time
you don’t actually mean it
who knows
but recent few days
looked like she is in for real
entrusted me for ticket booking and
some itinerary planning
seriously
I have no idea how
because Seoul has never been
on my travel list and
with my zero exposure to
Kpop, Kdrama etc
with the exception of Choi Siwon
thanks to his appearance in
Chinese movies and reality show
“IMAGINE YOUR KOREA”
as promoted by the Korean Tourism Organization
is somehow a tough exercise for me
well..
if you are telling me
let’s plan a trip to
Tibet or even Dunhuang
I can name you some
must-visit places on my list
no matter what it’s
tickets have been booked
to explore the city
way beyond my scope of imagination
nevertheless
information is abundant
either in English / Chinese
therefore research is not
so much of an issue
and I did ask around too
I bet those who were asked
were pretty surprised too
as the person who never goes
anywhere else but China
Mag who just came back
from a wedding in Seoul
was kind enough to
immediately send me an itinerary and
even some budget sheets in xls
wow…
however the other issue
remains unsolved
my sister and a friend
new travel partners
that’s something of
a bigger concern to me
What would they like to do?
What would they like to eat?
Where would they like to go?
Are they okay with public transport?
Apparently not very used to
Are they okay with youth hostel?
Obviously… NO
just go and have fun,
wouldn’t you?
