Part II - Korea Folk Village Minsokchon in Yongin, the Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung Palace in Gyeonggi-do and Other Suggestions!

For Part II of our 1-day Gyeonggi Province itinerary, we went to the Suwon Hwaseong Haenggung Palace and the Korean Folk Village (Minsokchon) in Yongin. I've already been to both locations before and just a couple of hours for both is surely not enough, esp. if you're a fan of K-dramas and want the old Korean village of the Joseon Dynasty feel (or want to see some characters or join some activities). So for accommodations (I am for staying more than one night in Suwon so that you can see the fortress light up at night and explore more! Hehe.), I would suggest the Hotel Prumir where we stayed =)

Part I - My 1-Day Gyeonggi-do Experience Near Seoul, Gangneung and Pyeongchang - the Gwangmyeong Cave Theme Park!

Gyeonggi province surrounds the city of Seoul and one of the things I like about it is that the subway reaches Suwon (and Everland which is in Gyeonggi-do also)! For our last day on this trip, we visited all these sites in Gyeonggi that you might want to explore too! Part I is about Gwangmyeong Cave, which is located near The Grand Masterpiece Media Art Exhibit.

My Most Unforgettable Travel Story to Date! The Wiki Korea Tour ASF Team in Seoul and Jeju Island with Oppa Ricky Kim, Kevin of ZE:A and Hyelim of the Wonder Girls!

A couple of days ago I got a surprise email! I got copies of the pictures from the Wiki Korea Tour. Wee! Thank you so much Oppa Intaek of CJ Entertainment for sending them over!!! The awesome photos without watermarks below is by Hweekang Kim of Star Studio =) As you may have noticed from my Facebook posts, I didn't get to take lots of pictures (compared to my other trips) because we were constantly filming. They said it (our reality show hahaha) is gonna be shown on Channel M next month yey! Here are some spoilers (hahaha) and so many candid/wonderful moments of that 7-day Wiki Korea trip with Buzz Korea and the Korean Tourism Organization. =D As you know, it was because of my first Korea trip that I started this blog more than 3 years ago. This year, I was given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent the Philippines for the Wiki Korea Tour, making this my fifth time to return to my favorite country. I've done so many things in my Things I Wanted to Do When I Go Back to Korea List so unexpectedly hehehe.
