picking the date is definitely not that easy. but i was eyeing two seasons from when i would want to visit and that is spring and autumn. but due to some crazy circumstances, i picked autumn and i am flying during the chuseok festival. ^_^ i guess spring will have to wait.
venturing alone and that i was living with my cousin. i'm saying that i was alone as i was 75% alone the whole time - so what d'ya think does that count? anyway, let's just scratch that - this is going to be my first time travelling - solo. yaiks!
anyways, where was i? ah! 4 days and 4 nights. so whattam i gonna do? the first thing that would come to mind would be filming locations! been researching about it and has found the following sites really useful:
i love littlemisshoo, she has this awesome collection of filming locations and even has directions on how to get there. and in her book, she has grouped those locations which are in the same place which makes plotting your itinerary way easier.
the visit korea website has a list of filming locations of known korean dramas and korean movies. it has directions on how to get there and the working hours, admission fees, etc.
visiting filming locations is not the only thing that i'm gonna do though.. i'm thinking of doing a bit of cultural tour, food tripping here and there and a lot of shopping in myeongdong, namdaemun, insadong and gangnam.
i have no definite itinerary yet. the question of whether i'm just gonna stay within seoul or venture out to gyeonggi-do, gangwon-do or maybe busan is still hanging on my head. plus, also, i'm still looking for a good hostel.

guess i still have a lot to do. speaking of which, i still have to learn some korean phrases! oh well.. as do most koreans say FIGHTING!
