"I heard Namsangol Hanok Village is a perfect spot to take a walk. I am really interested in traditional Korean culture such as foods, clothes, games, and marriage ceremonies! This place is filled with the breath of Korean ancestors. I want to learn about what it is like to live in a traditional Korean house Hanok. I am a great fan of the South Korean television dramas such as "Daejanggeum." I am keen to wear a hanbok and taste kimchi and kimbap"

"I want to visit Nami Island. The island is famous for the drama location of the Winter Sonata. I haven't watched the series yet but it is amazingly popular in Indonesia. When I came here for the first time, my friend suggested to me that I go there by sending Nami Island's pictures to me. I've been totally attracted to that island. I heard Nami Island has four distinct features as seasons are changing. Gingko road is romantic in autumn, Cherry Blossom road is fantastic in spring, fresh green is very nice in summer, and serene snow is a sheer joy in winter. I also heard that Nami Island is not too far from Seoul. Moreover, it costs less than traveling to Jeju Island.
