[110225] SOUL SOUL IN KOREA - D-13

SOUL SOUL IN KOREA - D-13

I. Can't. WAIT!

I've been talking about wanting to visit Korea like since 2009. People around got tired of me TALKING about it and not actually going. But this trip took everyone by surprise, even took ME by surprise. Korea was not in the plans, at least NOT at this time. Life happens. So I'm going!

Words can't describe how I feel when I booked my air-ticket 2 days ago (my electronic ticket should be in my email inbox today).

I get butterflies thinking about being in Korea for 2 weeks!

I'm still at a loss what I would do in Korea but since I'm travelling alone, I CAN DO ANYTHING! ^^v

And yes! I would be seeing 2AM at their encore concert "The Last Time" in Seoul! Christina helped book the tickets so I'm definitely going to see the boys in concert again. The last time was last December when they came to Singapore for Mnet Ultimate Live in Singapore. But that's a COMBINED concert. This time round it's PURE 2AM GOODNESS!!

This trip is part business because I want to go and source for reliable retailers in Seoul and perhaps really run that blog shop I have been talking about too. Yes, suddenly I feel like all the pieces of my dreams, hopes and desires are just coming into place. It's always that first step of faith that is difficult but I have started. That's what counts.

So many things I want to do in Korea.

Anyway, I have started a 2AM merchandise spree. Click on the link to go to the IAM for 2AM - 2AM International Forum and check out what I have put up for sale.

Oh right! I almost forgot to mention.

I will be adding in other items into the spree as I roamed around Seoul and other parts of Korea. If you have a particular brand/item that you want, you can also leave a comment in the thread. So far I have intention of visiting:

1. Jambangee (2AM jeans anyone?)
2. BANC (
3. All the cosmetic brands (Tony Moly, Face Shop, It's Skin, etc etc)

Eventually I wish to be able to stay in Korea permanently, at least for a slightly prolonged period of time. I really want to study Korean language and become a translator.

So follow me on this blog as I count down towards my trip, share my anxiety and excitement, go on a virtual tour of Korea with me as I take pictures and write about the places I visited, the sights, the people, the air, etc.

I might have travelled alone but I'm sure with your company, I'd never be lonely.

I'm going to add 2AM CONCERT HOODIE to the spree later today!

Do follow me on @kkaplinesubs for updates on this blog for when I'm in Korea (Please, let there be pre-paid SIM card in Korea! I need to stay connected!!)

Yes, every dream, however ridiculous needs the first step.
Let's hope this would be a fruitful trip in more ways than one! :)
