PERSONAL, SEOUL: don't ask just search...

Berbekalkan peta subway, dan tak lepas-lepas dari tangan & mata, takot terlepas stesen, odi berjaya menggunakan subway seoul... hari pertama, nervous gak, alhamdullilah su'ad was great at giving the instruction when we went to seoul together... maka total recalling on the first day... spent so much time to find out how to get from jamsil station to namsan park via donguk university

the problem started when the map that i brought was one of those that come scaleless...well, can't blame the map... it was one of those cartoon stye mao, so the distance and places of interests were kind of skewed... so when i was searching for the fortress and the tower, ended up using a long way, pusing habes rumah orang, and jalan ape2 entah... masuk entah celah mana... tak masuk lagi lari dari anjeng, tak le beso, tp kalau dah penakot... speed gak... tuan je saje je tengok anjeng2 dia nak rapat, dia ingat kita suke anjeng dia yang siap pakai baju tu.. huh...

bila jumpe national theater of korea, lega... tapi dah habis 2 jam... cari jalan.. from there, easy to go to namsan seoul... easy as the route dah jumpa... tapi, ya Allah, tingginye bukit, musim sejok lak tu... napas rase nak putus, jantong punyele kuat... takot gak mati katak aje kat seoul ni... kang org tanye, odi mati sebab ape, panjat bukit nak tengok tower, mintak simpang benda2 ni... kalau mati pun bio le kat malaysia, n lepas sembahyang ke ... sedap le siket..

anyhow, reached the tower...

lepas tu nak gi hanok... sesat lagi... road sign dia orang ni tak leh ikot habes... tau2 je jumpa paret, manalak jalan dia.. operasi biasa, patah balik, baca sign, guna arah laen.. baru jumpa jalan, tapi ada orang tengah repair.. redah je, yg penting ada jalan, bukan paret...

sebenornye odi selalu je kena patah balik sana sini... masa nak cari palace pun, patah balik kat station sebab cari balik ape anak2 panah, nama2 yang agak... masa nak balek dari insadong lagi terok.. teros sampai namsan park.. terbabas.. guide kat touris info tak paham english.. kita kata stesen, dia bagi segala nama hotel, buat ape.. malas nak cakap, kata thank you.. so end cari sendiri lagi...

yg penting cari stesen, dalam gelap gelumat tu, jumpe teros gi gangbyeon makan odeng.. den naik balek tren gi jamsil..

moral of the story - malas bertanya sesat jalan... kat seoul, lagi rajen tanya, lagi sesat jalan.. so bring a map, not the cartoonish type, but a real map.. kalau ada doz gprs, gps, or pms bawak aje..
