Things I want to do in Korea!

Eat ddukbokki at a road-side stall
I love ddukbokki.
Mm..~ It's definitely addictive.
And the best place to try these yummy spicy ricecakes?
At a road-side stall!
*yum* ^~^
Go to Namsan Tower
These locks of love are so romantic and ... romantic!
I don't have a boyfriend, and I'm not planning on having one, but just going to the tower itself would be such a dream. <3
... aaah~ *_*
Participate in an SM Weekly Audition
If I go to Korea, I would definitely join an audition in SM!
On second thought, even if I do go to an audition, I probably wouldn't understand anything anyone said, unless they said it in English. :X
oops.
(by the way, I didn't know what picture to put, so I put one of Onew before debut. haha.)
Shop in Myeongdong
Ahhh, Myeongdong~
Visit Se7en's restaurant
Haha.
It would be so daebak to have chicken in his restaurant!
And it's so funny that Onew visited it. :P
Go to Garosu-gil
The tree-lined street! ^^
A mini Europe in Korea, haha. ~
Although the shops there are mostly out of my budget (I'm only a student, boohoo. >< ), it would be fun to window shop. :D
Visit a Korean high school
It would be so interesting to have a tour around a high school in Korea!
Maybe I could even sit in for one of the classes..? (;
So many korean dramas have schools as their setting, so I was curious about what it would feel like to be in the shoes of a korean student. ^^
Take an evening stroll around the Han River
The Han River looks so beautiful, especially at night. <3
I have lots of daydreams involving the Han River, haha. (;
It's such a romantic place!
Stay in a Hanok traditional house
A trip to Korea wouldn't be complete without a stay in a Hanok house!
It would be so fascinating to experience a part of korean culture first-hand!
Shinee stayed in a Hanok house during the filming of Hello Baby, and they showed me the charms of the traditional house. <3
Go skiing in the snow
I've never skiied before, so it would be an exciting experience for me to ski, especially in the snow!
I've only ever experienced winter during a trip to Australia with my family, years ago.
Singapore is a tropical country, so we basically have summer all year round.
Anyway, when we went to Australia, I was really young (about < 7 years old?), but I still remember it being really, really cold.
When I stepped on snow, it melted into a puddle of water, and I was intrigued by it.
My impression of snow before I actually saw it was that it was really fluffy and clean.
But ... my impression changed after that trip to Australia. Haha. :P
So... skiing in the snow would be daebak! :D
Spend a day at Seoraksan National Park
I really love nature; it's so beautiful.
I'm sure that I would love Seoraksan park, with all its natural beauty. <3
Go to the Jeongseon 5 day Market
I love markets like this.
We have similar markets in Singapore too, and we call them "pasar malam", which means "night market".
I used to be able to find pasar malams easily around Singapore, but nowadays, I can rarely find one. ):
There would be a tent above the entire market, and stall owners would hawk their goods (and there were not only food being sold; there were other things, too) to the passers-by.
I loved the atmosphere of the pasar malam.~
Anyway, the Jeongseon Market would be a unique experience for me!
Visit the KBS Mungyeongsaejae Drama Studio
I have watched many KBS dramas, and I like dramas with a traditional setting as well.
In fact, one of my all-time favorite Korean dramas is Dae Jang Geum, or Da Chang Jin in Chinese.
I remember watching the entire 54 episodes with my mother, who loves the drama as much as I do.
I have a passion for cooking, so I could relate to the drama.
It would be so (for lack of a better word) awesome to have a tour around the drama studio and maybe even try acting out a scene there! :D
Go to Jeju Island
I've never been to Jeju island, but it's one-of-a-kind.
There are so many things to do at Jeju island, like visit their museums, hike Mt. Halla, or take a ferry to Udo Island.
Aaah~ It'll be so fun!
Take a Taekwondo class
Taekwondo is well-known throughout the world, and it is a big part of korean culture as well.
Taking a Taekwondo class would be really interesting and an enriching experience for me.
Besides, it's always good to know some self-defense moves, right? (;
Try lots of Korean food
Yum ~
Korean cuisine is popular everywhere, and is mainly associated with kimchi!
(ohh, I'm hungry now. ._. )
I want to try kimchi jjigae, naengmyeon, bibimbap, and other food in Korea! :D
Yay ~
Visit Dongdaemun Market
Dongdaemun market is well-known as a popular tourist spot, and I really want to go there!
We have something similar to Dongdaemun in Singapore, which is Bugis Street.
Dongdaemun would be totally special, though!
Aaahh... I want to go.. ><!
Alright, I shall end this post with a picture of Onew socks! :D
(I have the exact same pair! ^^ )
I have lots of daydreams involving the Han River, haha. (;
