Korea!


As I was trying to change the layout of this blog, I found out that I wrote on my previous post that I should share something about my expectations about Korea and I realized that I actually failed to post something about that.

And for that, I dedicate one entire post about my expectations when I go to Korea!
I was searching for a Korean peace sign and I found this picture of a guy named Jong Hyun of CNBlue.
By the way, sorry for not posting about my expectations before! Peace (^_^)V

KOREAN POP (KPOP)
Of course! Who doesn't know anything about Kpop these days?  Aside from mobile phones and cars, Korea has been successful in exporting their talents to the world.

I was thinking if once we land on Incheon Airport, will there be any random Kpop artist/s who will greet visitors and tourists to their country? Or will the aircraft suddenly play the latest Kpop song?
Is it bad to wish that SNSD would be the aircraft's captain/s and flight attendants?
Actually, I'm not really a Kpop fan before, not until a friend introduced me to it.  We were blockmates and she'll be going to Korea too for JTA. Oh yeah, we're attending the same university too.
Does it show that she really hates Kpop? Lol.
Anyway, ever since JTA Sem 1 started, our entire JTA block has one favorite Kpop group. Presenting, SISTAR!!
PLEASE! Be our aircraft's captains too!

You may want to hear there songs Loving U, Alone, and the best song ever, Ma Boy!
Now guys, tell me if this isn't their best song.

So much for SISTAR and Kpop...let's proceed to food!

KOREAN FOOD
If you really want to know the culture of the place, food is the best teacher! If I could, I would try all Korean food and beverages there such as kimchi, bibimbap, samgyeopsal.  And for celebration, a toast of SoJu!
Bibimbap

Would it be lovely to taste this from its origin?

Might as well try the drink :)

KOREAN TRADITIONAL CLOTHING
I don't know why but I really want to wear the traditional costumes of Korea.  Aside from experiencing it, I think I would feel like a traditional Korean, living in the Joseon dynasty (lol). They said that in Incheon Airport, you could actually have the chance to wear the costumes. Is this true and which part of the airport is this located?

So the clothing is called Hanbok and I'm really excited to wear at least any of these (bucketlist!!). Feel the entirety of Korea through their traditional clothing!
Of course, I'd want to wear the male's clothing. Though, I'd love to see some of my
female friends wear the female clothing.
FINAL NOTE
As said in our country briefing, Koreans believe in balance and harmony and that's the reason why they maintain castles in the middle of the city, as it is a sign of balance between modernity and tradition.  I'd love to experience Korea and find out more about this balance and harmony and how do they manage to maintain this.  So, 'till next time!

Oh yeah! *claps*
