There are the three different places that we went to during the study trip.

Firstly we went to N Seoul Tower. It is an observation tower located at Namsam moutain in the central of Seoul. N Seoul Tower has a height of 497m above sea level and we are able to see the entire Seoul city from the observation deck. It was officially open to the public in 1980. There is a gift shop and also restaurant on the ground floor of the tower. Next to the tower itself, we are able to spot a tall red transmission tower.

There's also a National Palace Museum of Korea located nearby the entrance of the palace where we are able to see some of the items that was being used by the people back then.

Di KOREA on the 4th Day

Hi, 4th day huh? That fast....Today we visited the SAC, HU and SDMC. I will explain later.
First trip, Seoul Animation Center. This place is majored in cute cartoon and animation. This place also teaches to sutdent and kids who wanted to learn more about this kind of arts. Most of their character had many different kind of emotion like what I is been shown previously.

Next, Hongik musuem. This place had a gallery and auction that showcase 3d artpiece , 2d art and also special classes for different kinds of module.



Last study trip of the trip was DMC. This place is like IT holy. It has different kinds of IT that will happen in 5 years time. Their kind of media and creation are totally beyond my expectation. I was able to try different kind of technology that was invented by them that was meant to built in 2015. Also they were responsible in the 2002 World Cup stadium creation. Two words to describe:
Impressive/Brilliant.

Di KOREA on the 3rd Day

Ok..so here I am on the third day of the study trip to Korea. Today we visited two of the most notable place in Korea. They are KNUA and Taewool Entertainment.
The school had different kind of major school like fine arts, film and drama. They had student come from around the world and what they do everyday was to kept practising on their major even though during holidays to make it perfect. There are criteria to get into this school like they need to work for 5 year based on their major to get in while foreigner do not need much criteria. Their famous play are like Winter Sonata and the Host movie. Also to add on, KNUA had all kind of equipment that has got to do with art and the best parts is, student are able to have full access on those equipment

Taewool Et. really impress me with their MMORPG skill. They are the first martial art online company in the world. They showed me what kind of tool they are using like the T3 sandbox to do all kind things to make an RPG game success. Also, they told me that a complete game may take UP TO 4 YEARS to complete. I really respect for their effort.
So basically for what I learn today is that PATIENCE will lead someone to success.

So today we visited to the MBC, the broadcasting cooperation. We were given a tour and were showed many different broadcasting room, famous interviewee and DJ that had worked hard to earned a 'Golden Mouth'.

Even though we were tired and shag from the flight, we still had fun on the tour and I wasn't able to take much picture due to my camera battery weak. On that day also, we Malay were treated to an India cooked meal where it was too delicious to miss it
