Return to The Land of Kimchi

Alhamdulillah, we made it back to KL safe and sound.. im in the mood to write about our journey in Seoul, lets hope the mood last long enough until i finished all the parts.. haha ;-)

Part 1: The Preparation

This is going to be a series of entries relating to my recent trip to Seoul.. I cant remember when i last wrote travelogues before.. Ive read so many travelogues about trips to Seoul but there are v few logs written by parents travelling with toddlers/young kids.. So my perspective will be skewed more on this in hopes to fill in the gap. Perhaps it could be of use to give a rough idea on what its like to travel to seoul with a toddler in tow..

First things first, im gonna write a lil bit on my preparation for this trip.. Lots of infos came from blogs about their recent trips to seoul that i managed to google.. A few of the noteworthy sources are http://budgettravel2korea.blogspot.com/ and the cari forum -- http://mforum.cari.com.my/viewthread.php?tid=644742&extra=page%3D1 .. From the infos i got there i managed to prepare a rough itineray as per below..
