South Korea Trip Comments

Ai Tuan and me had a great time during the 17 days trip with all of you. Actually both of us can go alone on this trip but we choose to join Yongo because we love to travel in a group. Its so much fun to travel in a group, the interaction, the sharing of jokes, experiences and laughters. I underestimated the trekking at Jirisan. Without proper trekking shoes, I'm not able to join some of you to the peak. My feets was really hurting me. But I have no regrets. Challenging to reach the peak is not my objective of this trip.

Thanks ever so for the great company! The trip was unexpectedly marvelous and I really enjoyed myself, albeit so tired when coming to the end, kekeke… To be honest, I was a little distressed few days before the trip, it suddenly became virtually clear that I knew no one in the group and worry if I can mix around!! Many friends commented that I am weird to join the tour on my own! And to do trekking when I was the lousiest amongst all when climbing Huang Shan!!! Well, the fear is so unnecessary as I was having great fun, despite tired when coming to the end, hahaha… so, I told my friends that I survived bravely! And beautifully! And they could only envy to see my high spirit . To share a little on my last day experience in Seoul. That morning when u people departed for the airport was really dread to me. I haven’t been feeling so sad and lonely for ages. Just felt I had enough of Korea and to head home together with the group! Anyway, I felt much better after meeting my cousin. We didn’t do much but only strolled along the university area for shopping, then to the Olympics Park for a leisure walk, and to meet some of her friends. Kinda relaxed and pleasant, but I was really really tired that I could doze off any time any place :P Thanks guys for making the trip such a memorable one! And I am already praying for the next trip to traveled with the same group if possible, kekeke… despite I am currently located in Shanghai, please do not leave me out if there’s a future traveling plan ya J I will beg my boss to approve my leave at all means :P TAN VEE VEE Korea Trek May2010 (Newbie)

I am so blessed to meet all you great people which makes me feel young and able to live a life which I wanted in my younger years but was unable to fulfil it due to life's commitments. Anyway, it is due to all of you who has helped me in one way or another to achieve this - especially when I know that I am physically unprepared for the 'endless walks and climbs'!!! .... and the unfamiliar shelter stays with unthinkable amenities etc and the con-lines eg. it's the end already lah - just 2 more bends, aiyuh - you can rest at the big open area leh and no need to go further etc ... well, thank God for the patience (from us both hor) that I 'conquered' (hahahaha) the unthinkable and was able to 'look down' on the lands below! Wow what a feeling to be on the top of the world (ok, ok - it's not the very peak but at least 2nd highest one mah from Jirisan hor. ). Wah ... the memories of 'begging' for food while on the walk and of course, the pathethic look that must be on Sim's, Vee Vee's and my face must have said it all to the other trekkers who had shared some of their rations with us.

I must say that despite all the obstacles that I encountered during the climb at Jirisan, I felt a sense of achievement having gone thru the many ups & downs of the mountains, & walked 16km all in a day. Each time it was uphill, I told myself that this would be my last trekking trip, but I've forgotten the hardship now. And I will sure to go thru it again. This time I'll make sure to be more well prepared ie. proper attire, equipment, etc. What am sad about now is AM SO DARK already. Chia, thanks for reminding me about the walk under the hot sun with heavy backpack!!!! OUCH!!!! that too explained why AM SO DARK NOW!!!! hahahaa...... Ai Tuan asked me how come I was so quiet after the unfruitful walk. my reply to her : If I ever open my mouth, it would be
...*&^%$#$%%&* so it's better to stay quiet... hehehhhheee...... JUST KIDDING!!!! Yes, I'll definitely join another Yongo tour, this time will rope in my friends or go solo again... my LK told me this kind of tour is not meant for him, or... he's not mean for this kind.. rrr... oh, whatever...!!!!!! We shall meet again in future trips that are suitable for us / ME physically. MELISSA OOI Korea Trek May2010 (Newbie)

Such a bunch of cheerful (& charming, right?) Malaysians who were once upon a time strangers, could somehow made same decision (wise, right ?) to pick the same agent (which gave us so many different types of self-discoveries, right?), travel during that same timing (semua ada, sejuk, panas, dingin, taufan pun ada, right?) to same alien destination (neh, heh, sign language all needed, right ?), some even so courageous to venture into a new sports (thought "trekking is walking", right?)....to experience some trying moments, many happy hours and together we fostered that famous word " FRIENDSHIP" !!!
