I'm going to Korea!!!

I am going to Korea!! For my next overseas trip, I'm going to the now very popular location of vacation! This would be my longest trip so far— 54 days! I'll be going to Korea University for a Summer Abroad Program for 6 weeks followed by another week of vacation /graduation trip. If you are an undergraduate who is interested, here's a link to their website.

As you can probably tell, I'm extremely excited about this trip and I have been preparing for it for quite some time now. I'll post more about what I have done for preparations nearer to the date. I'm really looking forward to eat all the food in Korea, and see if I can spot the eatyourkimchi crew in Hongdae or just anywhere around Korea. If you don't know them, they are YouTube celebrities who provide informational insights on living in Korea as a foreigner. You should watch their videos if you have not already. My favorite videos are the FAPFAP (Food Adventure Program For Awesome People). The latest I have watched is the Korean Grilled Meat- Camping Style. They are super entertaining and awesome at what they do!

Anyway, perhaps I'm sensitized to information about Korea, I've seen so many companies advertising free trips to Korea ranging from Psy's advertisement for Bibigo advertisement recruiting Psy's one-month chef through video upload and voting, to Singtel's M Countdown KPop Celebrity Lookalike Contest. It seems that there's an increased leverage on SNS (Social Networking Sites) as a medium to promote themselves. If you are interested in winning yourself a free trip to Korea, Singtel's M Countdown Photo Contest is still open till 21 June. The more votes and the more similar you look to the idol of selection will get you a higher chance of winning a 3D2N trip to Korea inclusive of accommodations! All the best if you do /have already submit your photos for the competition!!

I'll update more about my Korea trip soon!
