Mrupupup went to Seoul, South Korea. It was a great trip. I loved Seoul after since the K-wave swept through our TV screens. Many things to see in South Korea. Here goes the trip day 1. Landed in Seoul transit via Kuala Lumpur. The airport in Seoul is pretty clean place. You can check out the eating place 'Food on Air' that serves decent Korean food at good prices. Go to the basement level of the arrival hall of the airport. The basement food court of Incheon Airport served a nice set of dumplings and bibimbap for late breakfast or lunch. Pretty nice and hot food after a long flight.

Do check out the SMTOWN the Stage Movie (documentary). Very nice and thrilling show (because of the fast paced hip hop dance). Mrupupup saw this documentary movie which described the lives of the Korean singing and dance artiste in the Korean music industry (SMTOWN).  The  documentary presents footage from Korea's SM Entertainment's recent worldwide concert tour, " SMTOWN  Live World Tour IV" in Korea, Japan, and China and  features Korean superstars & groups like  BoA, TVXQ, Super Junior, Girls Generation and Red Velvet. One could see many things like backstage action, how they trained for many years to be famous, how trainees need to train on and on to get at least a chance to be on SMTOWN Stage. One Korean Group trained in dance steps and lyrics for two years to debut one single Korean song. Wow, two years the same song on and on. Very nice show and Mrupupup thinks only Golden Village Plaza Singapore and GV Tampines are showing this movie in their cinemas.

Mrupupup went to Jeju Island, South Korea. Along the coast of Jeju Island, there are female divers that dive into the waters off Jeju Island to bring fresh catch of fishes, sea cucumbers, oysters and all sorts of fresh seafood. The female Jeju divers are tough and capable to dive in deep waters with just basic equipment. Along the way, Mrupupup managed to catch a group of female divers singing and serving their fresh seafood to their customers. The singing was spontaneous and the Korean people were so happy. Pretty impressed with their lives and happiness all around in the video clip below. If got time, do travel to Jeju Island to enjoy the beauty of this island.
