Seoul 首爾 - Play 玩樂 - Postscript 後記 Postscript The best getaway for me is to be some where quiet, slow, and spacious. The relax that Museum gave is no where can compare to. The creativity that art pieces revealed is nothing can go beyond.

Seoul 首爾 - Planning 規劃

Flight and Hotel	機票航班和酒店
Every time I travel, I book flight (or air ticket) before hotel.	每當我旅遊，我都會先預訂機票, 然後訂酒店。

Tips#1	小貼士#1
check if you have saved air mileage, for free ticket <-- this is what I did for this seoul trip check if there is any event or store you want to go, ensure the place will be opened (which day will be closed in a week or month). <-- the travel date may change accordingly.	檢查是否已存有足夠的飛行里數，免費換取機票 <-- 這次首爾之旅就是用飛行里數換取免費機票 事先考慮你有否想要去的活動或商店，確保場所將會開門營業

Day Plan	日程
Highlight a few things you want see, place you want to go, items you want to buy, food you want to eat, and people you want to meet during your trip.	列舉出幾件你想在旅程辦到的事情，如你要看到，你想要去的，你想買到的物品，你想要吃的食物，及你要約會的人。

e.g.
Things I want to see in seoul   我要看到	Art pieces and south korea history   藝術作品, 南韓歷史
Place I want to go   我想要去的	National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Hangang, Hanok Village, Royal Palace, CheongGyeCheon, Tea House   國立現代美術館, 漢江, 韓屋村, 皇宮, 清溪川, 茶館
Items I want to Buy   我想買到的物品	Clothing, Innisfree, Primera skin care product, VDL eye shadow, Korean snack   護膚品，VDL眼影，韓國小吃
Food I want to eat   我想要吃的食物	Galbi, bulgogi, Tofu soup, Seafood Pancake, Cold Buck Wheat Noodle, Egg on a Cake   烤肉，石鍋拌飯，豆腐湯，海鮮煎餅，冷麥麵，雞蛋糕

Tips#2	小貼士#2
check if there is discount or free service buy a travel guide book that show shops in an area <-- for me, I need a map show me the name of the restaurant, and cosmetic shops near Myeongdong station. guide book list restaurant and so as discount <-- the restaurant offer 10% discount if I show the guide book to the cashier ^^	查考是否有折扣或免費服務 購買旅遊書，顯示那區鄰近的商店 <-- 對我來說，我需要一張地圖，顯示那區鄰近的餐廳名字,及明洞站附近的化妝品店。 旅遊書介紹的餐廳和折扣 <-- 例如出示旅遊書,餐廳將會提供10％的折扣 ^^
