Pyeongchang Rural 20

Seoul- Odaesan- Uiyaja (pyeongchang)- Seoul

November 27-28

This was a first for me again.

A week ago, i stumbled upon this site that led me to another site called "Rural 20". Apparently,
its a government program from Seoul that brings foreigners to the countryside of korea to let them
experience what it is like there.  It started late August, and ends on November. Its a marvelous program to say the least, because aside from a great itinerary, which was handled by Lotte Tours, everything from hotel to food were free! Thats right. Free! So sad to say, i only got to join the last one.:(

This was the program i attended . Wind Village.

Anyways, the day started quite well, i had to wake up around 630 in the morning since we had to meet at the Seoul station around 8. Since this was my first time,(and probably last since that was the last tour until next year) i didnt had much sleep and i wanted to make sure i arrived on time.
I arrived at the station at exactly 8, and to my surprised there were a lot of foreigners. Two buses full. equals to around 70 of them, which was great because i had a blast changing experiences and getting to know what people think on the other side of the world.

Because of the "snow storm", we had a 6 hour bus ride instead of 3. The traffic was horrible and we had to stop 3 times because the traffic was that bad. However, it was all worth it. When we arrive at the flower farm village, though it was winter already-meaning no flowers, the site was still amazing. its like you're in a fairy tale and you don't want to leave. We had special bibimbap there for lunch which was around 4 pm already^^

After Flower village- hotel -drank with group- slept for 4 hours-  ate bulgogi for breakfast-temple visit- wind village- seoul .

yes im tired of typing already.

note to self: stop being lazy and write everything down for once before you forget them!!!

Lessons learned in this trip:

1. Laos people have a cool way of talking and they look like pinoys.
2. Its always nice to explore. You get to see a lot more if you make yourself more "adventurous"
3. You can buy a 2 liter pet bottle Soju -_-
4. Uzbekistan people can drink a lot. and i mean A LOT.
5. Bulgogi for breakfast and scrambled eggs are amaazing! 
6. 6 hour bus ride ain't so bad.
7. When you see snow make snow angels , and also a snow man!! Don't forget! 
8. Charge your camera battery especially during COLD Trips! the cold drains your battery fast! 
9. Sleeping on the floor with heaters heating your back is not a good idea. 
10. Zealously find more FREE STUFF that the Seoul Government has to offer.

No Excuses. Go and Get it.

I think this is what we all should live by. No excuses



We only have one life to live. Lets make the best out of it in every situation.
and as this guys says, lets not live our lives making excuses.

Don't let ever somebody tell you you can't do something.
People who can't do something themselves are the same one who tell you
you can't do it.
If you got a dream, you got to protect it.
If you want something
go and get it. Period.




*just some inspirational videos.lol

Stay Hungry Stay Foolish

"The first step before anybody else in the world believes it is you have to believe it. There's no reason to have a plan B coz' it distracts you from plan A. Being realistic is the most commonly travelled road to mediocrity."

Note to self: 

Never be mediocre. Never do things because people expect you to. Stick to the game plan. Don't be afraid to handle criticisms. Never falter, and don't hesitate either.

 Give everything more than your all. and more importantly, believe in yourself. Believe that no matter what, something good will always come out, and that you have been given a gift and talent to share to the whole world. 

Dont' and i repeat Don't give up on your dreams just because people say they're unrealistic - because most of the time this comes from the same people who gave up on theirs.

Set a Goal. 

Set a Timeline. 

Inch by inch. 

"Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” - Steve Jobs

First Trip outside Seoul by myself

seoul-dajeon-asan-onyoung- asan- seoul in two days.

No plans. Just wanting to get away from it all and go to some countryside and practice my
half-baked korean.

Notes to remember in the future.

1. walked probably around 80km at the least.
7 hours of walking with only 2 20 minute break for dinner and leaving my things in the motel.

2. Non-city dwellers are more eager to help.

3. I got to practice my korean at hardcore level and guess i have to say im proud of myself for having returned in one piece with no plans whatsoever for this trip.

4. learned a TON of new words.<-thanks to the dozens and dozens of people who helped me along the way:)

5. Prepare for a longer trip

6. Logistics is important to get to the good places

7. you can ride KTX for free if you dont get caught.

8. North Face bag is awesome with the backsupport.

9. I got to buy a good cross trainer for walking. My sneakers just wont cut it.

10. Koreans are horny people willing to pay 500, 000 won for one night stands.

*special Mention and thanks to these people for the Gyudon, extra rice, and conversation

Traveling Alone

Traveling alone in your country is pretty hard.

Traveling alone in another country? harder

Traveling alone in another country that does not speak any of your language? arghh :| (pulls hair)

Traveling alone in another country's rural(countryside) area with no one speaking any of your
language? !@#!@#! arghh >:|(pulls whats left of his hair)


Traveling alone in another country's rural(countryside) area with no one speaking any of your
language and without enough cash? *cuts of head.

Traveling alone in another country's rural(countryside) area with no one speaking any of your
language, without enough cash, and constantly bothered by a foot injury and not to mention no one taking your picture there? priceless memory.
