Korea Trip (2009): Part II – Nami Island

 

We don’t want to miss the “Winter Sonata”/ Nami Island fever during our first visit to Korea, so we requested Mr Lee our Korean research associate to bring us to Nami Island. He, being a good host, brought these three eager Malaysians to visit the place. Yay! Open-mouthed smile 

 

The place is quite far from Seoul city centre. Took more or less one hour drive to get there.
