I wonder who still blogs these days.. For the first time in my life, i went on two consecutive holidays, first to South Korea then Vietnam right after a few days break.. In addition, I got 1 high distinction and 3 distinctions this sem and I'm really satisfied after the hard work i put in (Don't laugh i really studied hard)

It was on a whole a really fruitful and brilliant half a year...

I had intended to blog about my escapades here but i guess Facebook is a more appropriate avenue for reference.. Throughout my trips.. there were some interesting points i experienced and picked up..

South Korea
- I dyed my hair to blend in , but i was the odd one out instead, yes there are very conservative and traditional.. the juniors reallllyyy respect their seniors/elders
-Scenery there is brilliant... Weather was brilliant
-Made friends with my tour guide hyung and the photographer boy dongsaeng..
- My tour guide changed my bad perspective of tours for the better cause he was really good..
- my tua yee and tricia really don't eat a lot of stuff haha.. the meat meals we got there were delicious !

Vietnam
-My first trip alone, accompanied by my girlfriend..
-really hot.. but we got to really explore certain places like Mekong Delta and Mui ne
-still a developing country and a lot of poor people there
-kept thinking that my girlfriend was an experienced traveller, but after everything, she's still a little girl to me and i just want to take care of her..
-Rude tour guide accused me of misplacing my bag but in the end it was his fault, pissed me off. We almost got stranded in Mui Ne but saved from my nut's quick thinking and we almost got extorted money from 3 boys but saved by my wits and guts and i think they got scared off by me.. and my nut nearly lost her wallet but we went back and found it.
-On and off very interesting experiences.. some were nerve wracking, some were scary.. but we got off unscathed and i guess we were lucky and really enjoyed the trip.

I would definitely recommend going to both places, my Korea trip cost my bro 1500 for the package excluding personal expenses there.. Vietnam trip cost me 225 for air tickets and roughly 400 odd for my expenses

Mui Ne

Bumping into yang there!
