Hi to all in Arirang TV,
This is my special post just for your channel and K-stories contest.
I can never forget my dream travel to my dreamland South Korea, Seoul. It was all like dream.
I was listening to 2PM's Fly To Seoul song when the pilot said: " Ladies and gentlemen, We are going to land in Incheon airport....", suddenly my breath is going to stop, my hands start to shivering and my legs couldn't tolerate my weight anymore. I told to myself: "Here Gilda, Here you are, finally in Korea!"
After checking my luggage, I went to take an airport taxi while my lungs were feeling Korea's weather. Such a big smile on my lips :D
My hotel was located near to SM Entertainment department, and it means I could walk toward it easily and if I was lucky girl, maybe could meet my idols.
After resting enough (Although I was so excited and didn't understand my tired.) in my comfortable room, I decided to start my adventure in Korea.
At the first time, I mounted a train in Seoul and went to " Yangsuri ". Such a cozy place, it was the best time for going there, It was solitude place and full of meaning for me.It was like I'm walking through historical K-dramas.
So I decided to go somewhere and act like I'm really in historical K-dramas in another day.
War Memorial Of Korea was awesome, It gave me the feeling of power. Even the soldiors statues forced me to respect them, the feeling that they were fight for their people and country made my eyes water, but this tears were not cause I was sad, it was cause made me so emotional.
My second destination was " Anseong ", It was a fall season and the best time for making Kimchi. I went there and help with 아주머니 to making so delicious and spicy Kimchi.
I showed them my Kimchi photo that I made before in my home and they were so shocked. I told them my Kimchi was not as good as them but I tried my best !!
Having a lunch and eating fresh Kimchi with those kind 아주머니 was really 대박^^
Next day, I went to Ilsan park to can visit Korean people and enjoy my afternoon.
In the next day, I went to Gwanghwamun (Haechi) Square, and the photo is telling how much excited I was.
As I was promised to myself, I went to " Haengju Sanseong " to can experience myself in special Hanbok and feel like a real Korean princess in K-dramas.
I can never forget the water sounds of " Han river " . It was really like a dream. When I was sitting on the ground and looking at the river and bridge, suddenly the light up in the sky, Yes it was Han river's fireworks. Really like a fairy tales, wind blows among my hair, my bare foot can feel the grass and my eyes just looking at the shines in the sky...
Telling to myself: " Hey Gilda, record all second of seconds in your mind, maybe it will never happen again in your life."
Finally sad day comes, the last day in Korea. It was so many places that I wanted to go but hadn't enough time. I must visit my Korean friends and told them how much I'm happy to be here, but time was over.
I was prefer to going " Yangsuri ", so took a subway and went there while was enjoying the scenic route.
Time to go....
Always saying goodbye is difficult, and I have to say goodbye to my love, to Korea...
Standing out infront of airplane and close my eyes, breathing deep and smile. Finally my dreams became true. I thought when I will travel to Korea, then my heart beats for Korea will getting slower, but now I found I really want to be in Korea more than past.
Maybe it's right, I'm a really Korea addicted. Looking at the people, many of them are from foreign countries, but my eyes are just searching about people with an oriental eyes.
Tell to myself : " Of course it's not a temporary love..."
Mom is opening a door and look at me while writing: " Do you still writing your Korean imagines? "
I answer: " Mom, it's not a simple imagine, it's all my life that I try to one day make it reality." :)
