We were planning this trip for years! Korea has been in every Filipinos' hearts since Endless Love series took us by storm. Not to mention when Gu Jun Pyo and Ji Hoo took over Philippines! Ibang klase ang addiction sa K-Pop, K-series, K-fashion and K-everything!
So imagine the excitement we tried to contain, that my dad accidentally booked Busan instead of Incheon but that's another looong story---so let's leave that one out. What happened was very touching though, his friends drove all the way from Cheonan to Busan for like 4 hours!!!
A funny thing happened at the airport. My dad only knew his friends by Mr. Moon and Mr. Kang. He doesn't even know their whole family name. Or their home address. Imagine the consul asking random questions about lodging, money, hosts and how we'll get around and my dad was there answering, "I don't know." Not only once, twice but everytime the consul asks questions. What settled the argument was when my dad gave them Mr. Moon's number. After which, our passports got stamped! :)
11/11/11 - Annyeonghaseyo Busan, Korea
I really liked how they made us embrace the whole korean culture. They never made us eat anything foreign. Even the tables are presented in a very korean manner. As in we'll have to sit in the floor. :) We drank agad nung first night! SOJUUUUUU! :))
