Sancheong: 2013 World Traditional Medicine Fair & Festival

back again! hoho
So, I've told u already before that I won the Sancheong and Busan Trip on previous post.

On October 4, 2013 we had to gather at KTO building, nearby Gwanghwamun at 9AM.

They explained us about our schedule for 3 days, and we had to introduce ourself.

credit: buzzkorea i dont hv my own pic for introduction session T_T

We went to Sancheong from Seoul at 10AM.. by "luxury" bus hahaha. so comfortable having trip with this bus in 3 days. Thanks KTO! ♥

And then, at 1PM, we arrived there! having lunch first with staff and other participants.

Marai and Samgyeopsal haha

I dont eat pork, so I had Bibimbab as my lunch that time ^^

with beloved tour guide, Jiyeon Onnie! ♥

Bibimbab for only me!

Sancheong is sooo nice for healing time. If you have stress time with those works, assignments, etc etc, I think this is the good place to go :)
So many mountains and the air is so nice as well.

After lunch has ended, we went to  2013 World Traditional Medicine Fair & Festival!

Entrance Gate

holla!!!

We had great time there. We could try the cute clothes. Its 의사 선생님's clothes. hahaha.
They asked us to do Gangnam Style pose, so we did!

We tried to make our own soap as well. how is it called? herbal soap? kkk.

I will upload the how-to-making-herbal-soap video later :)

Still in Sancheong Medicine Fair. We went to outdoor park. Many good places for the photoshoot T_T I hope I had more time to take many pictures there.

falling in love with this one. No filter

Marai and I hahaha. so cute rite?

another no filter pic

group picture!

anyway, I love the pics that KTO took for us. So, during the trip, we were like celebrities with camera around. haha. They took pics and video during our 3 days trip.
And when they uploaded the pics on Facebook, I love all of them!
The pics can even tell their story.
Here are some of them.

dorky detected!

We had our dinner in this Expo area as well.
Our menu were healthy foods ever! haha. Hmm, the taste is not really good (U know, medicine is never delicious right?). But the waiters said those foods are so expensive because all of them it's from mountain.

I can know the price by seeing how they decorate the serving plate~ Haha

Our table was sooo full with many kinds of food! happy tummy ♥
Maybe it would be one-month-food if I eat that alone.

We finished dinner at 7PM. After that, we went back to parking lot, and our bus was ready to go to Busan!

Busan, LET'S GO!

see you in Busan post! :)

The Westin Chosun Hotel, Busan

hellooooo. i want to update my blog oftenly, but always feeling so lazy hahaha.
last week i went to Busan! FINALLYYYY.
Busan is the second largest city after Seoul in Korea.
falling in love with Busan Saturi (dialect). i found it so cute.
and then many people said that Busan guy is hot! lol
(its same actually like Seoul guy. in conclusion, korean guy is hot! indeed! huhahaha)

what's the best thing of this trip? because it's free!
yeayyy thanks KTO for wonderful trip. seriously i love you guys so much.
it's not the first time winning this kind of trip. Before I won Asian on Air Program last year in October. and it's so memorable.

anyway back to busan trip topic!

hello westin chosun busan! ^^

So we had 2 nights in The Westin Chosun, Busan. You can see Haeundae Beach from this hotel.

I was so lucky that had a chance sleeping in 5 star hotel. Honestly it's my first time :p
so, i was being dorky all of the time, took many pics, and sent it to my sisters, friends and my co-workers.

view from my room

 

The breakfast time is from 6.30AM~10AM (?) or 11AM.
There will be so many delicious foods waiting for you. haha.
And also you can have your breakfast while enjoying the Haeundae scenery.

Haeundaeeeee ♥

On the next day, I tried Sauna with new Philipinnes friend, Marai. She's my partner in crime for those 3 days in 2 night is Busan.

swimming pool with Haeundae view

DAMN I DONT KNOW SAUNA IN KOREA HAVE TO BE NAKED. seriously it's embarassing time. hahahaha.
We have Sauna too in Indonesia, but we dont have to be naked. And i was so suprised when i entered the Sauna room and all people was naked easily.... like nobody's around =)))
(just thinking of that make me giggling by myself now)

So, Marai and I used our towels to cover our body and everybody like stared at us, but we didnt care.
We laughed so much that time "What the hell are we doing now in early morning huh?" We did it at 6.30AM that time (we assumed nobody's there since it's still early morning, but it's totally wrong).

My very first sauna experience in Korea, and i think i will delete "JJimchilbang" from my things-that-i-have-to-do-in-korea list =))))

And anyway, another best thing is I saw 2PM Taecyeon! accidentally.
Luckily i went there at the same time with "Busan International Film Festival."
So, at the first day, we were in lobby, waiting for check-in. and suddenly.... an handsome guy appeared from i-dont-know-where..
And i noticed he's Taecyeon! Oh my he's so handsome in his suit.
That night, so many actors and actress had a night in that hotel too because they had to attend BIFF.

That's all~ That's my story about The Westin Chosun Hotel.
I'll update other stories later! kkkk
stay tune!

*my english is totally fail huh? T_T I use english like everyday here, but it's not improved yet from the first day here. hahaha.
