ITINERARY | Seoul & Busan for 10 days!

Salam and hey guys!

Kindly check-out my itinerary for my backpacking trip to Seoul & Busan 

from 22-August-2016 until 31-August-2016

Guess what, we can manage to use only RM2K for 10days plus include buying the souvenirs and I did have sikit baki duit okay :p!

p.s: not included bus ticket (Ipoh-LCCT2) and also flight tickets (KL-PUS / PUS-KL)

Actually, we suppose to fly on Monday, 22-August-2016 at early morning (0115 AM) but our flight gettin' delayed to 0530AM :(

So, kalau kami tiba ke Busan dalam tengahari, means that we will arrive to Seoul at night!

Sebab flight delay, banyak juga aktiviti kitorang kena ubah sebab tak cukup masa :(

Actually I think the best itinerary is just plan and list down wherever you want to go,

lepas tu terpulanglah kat korang samada larat nak pergi ke tidak.

Macam kitorang, beria je nak pergi ke macam-macam tempat, tetiba just pergi yang mana mampu je

sebab Allahu azabnya naik turun subway ni hiks 

Btw, why I said our budget tak sampai RM 2K

mungkin sebab kami tak banyak habiskan duit pada makanan, 

Kitorang memang peruntukan 1 luggage for our food stuff

dari biskut, roti, jam, peanut butter, coklat, sardin. maggi and everything.

lagipun kat area Seoul ni senang nak cari refill air, so kat situ pun korang dah boleh jimat untuk minum, just bawa botol kosong je pun.

Yelah, kalau kau jalan sikit nak makan, jalan sikit nak beli air minum

jalan sikit nak beli itu ini, memang bajet RM 2K bukan untuk kauorang lah huhu

Kitorang banyak perabis duit untuk top-up T-Money

sebab kitorang banyak guna public transportation like subway, bus and taxi

Senang je guna public transportation mereka

dan tak perlu risau nak sesat ke apa, sebab insyaallah senang je hadam 

Ramai orang cakap untuk subway better guna apps untuk check how/which train that we can use

tapi as for us, kitorang hanya guna map yang berbekalkan dari tourism guide center je

serious tak tipu. sampai lunyai jugalah maps tu kitorang buat haha

Daehan Minguk!

Kronologi

Tiket flight : Beli masa promo Air Asia pada bulan January 2016, beli return flight tickets (KL-PUS, PUS-KL) without insurance and luggage for RM542.41

Adds-on : Tambah insurance and luggage for 20kg lagi 3 weeks (July 2016) before fly :- 

Insurance : RM50

Luggage: RM204/4pax (return) so sorang just bayar RM51 seorang

Ticket bus : Ipoh to KL beli lagi 2 minggu before fly (August 2016) for RM45

Mungkin sebab kitorang bayar sikit-sikit macam ni takdelah terasa banyak sangat duit keluar.

Notes: Kadar tukaran mata wang Malaysia (RM) to Korea (Won) = RM36.50 to 10,000W (as for August 2016), jadi aku hanya tukar RM1996.55 so dapat 547,000W je. huuu

With 547,000W, we paid our hostel, transportation, entrance fee and etc for 10days. So far okay je, tak perlu guna wang kecemasan langsung. (p.s: I bring another extra RM700 for my backup money) in case kalau ada apa-apa jadi ke kan. Mujur everything was fine sepanjang kat sana. Alhamdulillah. :)

Sinopsis;

Lee Yong-go is a mentally impaired father with the intellect of a six-year-old, who lives in a run-down house along with his daughter of the same age, Ye-sung. One day, he gets into a physical altercation with the police commissioner, who has just purchased the last Sailor Moon backpack for his daughter, a gift Yong-go was saving up to buy for Ye-sung. Soon after, the police commissioner's daughter dies in a freak accident, in which she slips on ice and suffers a fatal blow to the back of her head while she is taking Yong-go to another store that sells the same backpack. When he tries to resuscitate her, a woman witnesses him and mistakes him to be molesting her. Yong-go is falsely accused of the abduction, murder, and rape of a minor. The police quickly take advantage of his disability and force him to admit to committing the crimes, while ignoring exonerating evidence. Yong-go, who is sentenced to death, is imprisoned and assigned to Cell No. 7, the harshest cell in a maximum security prison. At first, the other men in the cell, lead by gang leader Jang Min-hwan, do not take kindly to Yong-go after reading in his file that he murdered and molested a child, but when Yong-go saves Min-hwan from being fatally stabbed by a rival gang leader, Min-hwan repays the favor by smuggling Ye-sung into Cell No. 7. Over time, they come to believe in his innocence, and make it their goal to help reverse the verdict at Yong-go's retrial.

Review;

Dah lama aku mencari satu filem yang boleh buat aku menangis-nangis. Tertanya tak salah bila adik aku si baby tu rekemenkan filem ini. Filem ni ada banyak flashback, jalan ceritanya ringkas tapi memang meninggalkan kesan. Bagi siapa yang pernanh tengok filem "I am Sam" lakonan Sean Penn mesti boleh faham filem ni. Actually kedua-dua filem ini mengangkat "hero" yang serba kekurangan namun penuh kasih sayang. Namun jangan salah anggap walaupun MICN7 juga memaparkan seorang ayah yang kekurangan upaya dari segi intelektual seperti kanak-kanak yang berusia 6 tahun, namun percayalah jalan ceritanya memang berbeza.

Kagum dengan semangat Ye-Sung, demi ayahnya Yong-Go yang telah dibicara tanpa ada bahan bukti yang kukuh setelah beberapa tahun dia menjadi peguam untuk membela dan membersihkan nama ayahnya.

Permulaan plot memaparkan seorang peguam (Ye-Sung dewasa) muda ingin membuka kembali kes Lee Yong-Go yang telah dituduh membunuh dan merogol seorang kanak-kanak dengan kejam tanpa ada perbicaraan yang adil. Yang buat kes bertambah rumit rupanya mangsa ialah anak kepada ketua polis. Jadi tanpa ada pembelaan, Yong-Go terus dijatuh hukum. 

Ketika dipenjara, dimana penghuninya rata-rata adalah penjenayah yang sangat berbahaya dari ketua gangster dan penipu yang hebat, Yong-Go yang "kurang cerdik" ini menimbulkan banyak perhatian. Mulanya, dia telah dibuli/pukul kerana kes nya agak kejam, namun setelah satu indisen berlaku rakan-rakan cell nya berusaha membantu termasuklah membantu menyeludup anaknya Ye-Sung yang ketika itu berumur 6 tahun masuk kedalam cell. 

Banyak momen-momen yang cantik dan sedih serta kelakar berlaku sepanjang Ye-Sung diseludup masuk. Rakan-rakan cell Yong-Go yang lain turut berubah sedikit demi sedikit. Malah ketua warden juga telah melonggarkan syarat untuk Yong-Go dan Ye-Sung untuk berjumpa. 

Walaupun ada beberapa scene yang tidak masuk akal, bagaimana seorang pesalah yang menghidapi mentally intellectual tidak diberi peluang untuk dibicarakan kerana mangsanya adalah anak seorang ketua polis, ini menunjukkan bahawa hak bersuara dan peluang membela diri tidak diberi. "Untuk mensabitkan jenayah, tertuduh mesti dibuktikan - melakukan tindakan jenayah (actus reus) dan mempunyai niat melakukannya (mens rea)" 

dan juga ketika scene hot air balloon menanti Yong-Go dan Ye-Sung untuk melarikan diri, walaupun scene itu agak pelik, namun bagi aku scene dan momen itu sangat cantik. Who cares tak masuk akal kan, sebab dengan adanya elemen komedi ni boleh buat penonton berubah mood seketika. 

The unconditional love between a handicap father with his daughter memang sangat-sangat cantik. Scene akhir ketika akhirnya Yong-Go dibawa ke bilik gantung memang membuat air mata menitik-nitik. Direktor memang pandai bermain dengan perasaan penonton, ada masanya rasa terhibur dengan gelagat dua beranak ni tetiba boleh bertukar menjadi sayu dan bikin hati pedih dan sebak. 

First class acting, superb casts, even some of scene got a lil bit cliche, who cares?  It's totally great, fresh and full delivered. Kal So-Won sangat adorable and she can act well. She already stole my heart with her innocent and adorable screen presence. Daebak!

Story: 10, 

Acting: 10, 

Emotion: 10,

Comedy: 10,

Overall: 10.

Till then,
