I was very lucky to stay at Jongno area during my trip in Seoul. The place I stayed is practically walking distance to many attractions and also convenient to get  subway to anywhere I want. One of the attraction is Cheonggye Stream which located about 5 minutes walking distance from place I stay. During my trip there is this  Festival going on along the Cheonggyecheon Stream. Over 30,000 lanterns of various sizes and shapes, depicting Joseon Dynasty lifestyles or representing company/org logo. The stretch of lantern is between Cheonggye Plaza and Seungyo Bridge. There are many activities going on, lantern making, lantern floating for good luck, lantern fortress building and wish hanji (traditional paper) hanging.   Cheonggye stream served many important functions since it flowing through the capital and restoring the Cheonggye Stream is the wisest the decision since it helps to recover 600 years of Seoul's history and culture and is helping Seoul be reborn as an ecologica

I am taking my sweet time to update my solo travel adventure in Seoul. On Thursday, 14th Nov 2012, I was very excited about this trip to DMZ , Pamju and 3rd Tunnel.  My new military boot, I bought the night before DMZ trip at one of the shoes wholesale market for 35,000 won. Same night , I bought another pair of boot for only 20,000 won. Crazy , huh!!!! When leaving for Malaysia , I was scratching my head on how to carry all this thing.... uwaaaaaa.... my luggage expanded. Thank God the USO office not so far walking from the subway station. The weather was chilling cold. This day trip organised by USO kooridoor who organised by UN  army there in south korea. My group basically the retired army from US and Europe country. Only 4 asian , myself and another 3 , I guess one from Japan, vietnamese and philipines. Many area can't even bring in the camera.... most of the time got to leave our bag in the bus. When take photo need to aim towards the north..

Monday morning, woke up as early as 3:00am. Basically , I don't even sleep a wink....afraid I couldn't wake up. Nervous! Cab came at 4:30am. 6:55am board the plane to Yangon. My meeting with Myanmar govt at 11:00am Govt being a govt.... Meeting was delayed to 12:30noon. Reached to their office for the first time was like.... mmmmmm.... am I at 1960's or 1970's era in Malaysia. Its like in one of P Ramlee's movie set up. Old building....people was wearing sarong and longyi. Since there was a tender opening going on , when I reached there.... Too many people lining up and it was crowded. I was a bit culture shock. Came from the big and modern city like Kuala Lumpur.... I am mesmerised with the scene in front of me. Meeting end up until 2:40pm. Traffic was hell too overthere. I end up having lunch at 3:00pm. Off for another meeting and then by 4:00pm off to airport to catch my 5:15pm flight. Flight was delayed. I end up reach KL at 10:00pm. By the
