Finally, another one of my dreams is coming true. I'll be visiting Korea from 5 - 10 May.
Am very excited. Was informed of a much cheaper tour package just a few days ago. I was without a traveling partner to share the accommodation cost but the agency found another female solo traveler just yesterday.
The tour itinerary may not include the places that I really wish to go to if I were to travel on my own but it's good enough for my first visit.
For this trip, I'll be visiting:
The above are touristy places commonly found in tour packages. I'm not very keen on the waterpark and Everland. I'd most likely be snapping pics of these places rather than queuing and taking rides.
The highlight I must say is the lantern parade. I wish to see a colourful local traditional celebration.
What I wish is that I'd get to explore the streets of Jongno on my own at a leisurely pace without the tour guide on the second half of Days 5 & 6.
Can't wait!
