Planning for the Perfect Beach Vacation

Everybody enjoys taking a swim at the beach or just strolling by the white sand enjoying the beautiful scenery. Before rushing to the beach try to consider these tips:

1.) Save before the trip. It would hurt if along the way, you encounter problems that need money or maybe you might regret not bringing enough so you could buy the souvenirs at the shops.

2.) Choose the right beach for you and your companions. Research about the beaches you consider in your planning.

3.) Plan your whole travel. This includes transportation, fare, tickets and the like.

4.) Research about the accommodations and choose the right establishment for you. There are many reviews in the internet.

5.) Choose your companions. You wouldn't want to go to the beach knowing the people you bring along may waste your day boring you to death.

6.) Plan an itinerary if the beach isnt the only place you wish to go to.

7.) Make a list of the things you should bring:

-sunscreen lotion
-lots of towels
-extra underwear
-destination guides if youre not well acquainted with the place
-your favorite swimming wear
-comfortable sets of clothes if you prefer not to wet yourself
-sunglasses
-goggles, snorkels, and flippers if you wish to do activities which need these
-food and water including paper plates, disposable cups and napkins
-liquor if you are with friends. Just make sure its legal and the person driving doesn't drink too much.
-garbage bags
-bring a camera and lots of film or lots of space in your memory card

What a muslim lady doing in South Korea?

Muslim = no pork, no alcohol but that's like a whole cultural thingy for Korean!! Majority of my Muslim friends will quiver when they heard me saying "I want to eat Tteokbokgi when I'm in Seoul!" Isn't it HALAL? A very sensitive issue where I almost refuse to discuss with my Muslim friends but avoiding it is almost sounds like a sin. Hehehe.

Of course finding a HALAL certificate is almost impossible in a non-Muslim country in Korea but recently Korea has taken amazing effort to boost their tourism to focus on Muslim visitors.

For a proof, come and visit Tour2Korea official website here. They have prepared a special section : Muslim Food Guide.

Other than that, let's just believe that I will survive with instant noodle and serunding! Chance to get slim the natural way. Hahaha... another amazing race in the making.

Why travel solo? Isn't it dangerous for a lady?

These 2 questions has been asked zillions of time even though I don't know how zillions looks like. (I told you, I failed Maths..haha). Well, traveling solo seems always pretty dangerous for ladies but mate, you have to count your risk like 1,2,3..bla bla..before you even start thinking about it. Like Zati said, you take calculative risk not simply "You jump, I jump" Dicaprio style.

A lot of times during my traveling solo, I depend on my gut,hunch,6th sense,psychic..whatever you call it. But what I really want to make a point home is that..please use your COMMON SENSE, that 7 inches between your two ears aka your brain. ^__^ You gonna be safe if not the other way round.

I'm not gonna say that there isn't any risk. There IS risk! We encounter risk anywhere, everywhere and anytime. We just don't realize it.. yet. Hehehe. But traveling solo has been always a SWEET risk. Only those who experienced it will know that gushy mushy feeling. Shweeeet..

I'm way out of topic! Sorry guys, that's why I always got whacked by my language teacher while doing essay. I always get to pluto and refused to return. Hehe..

Solo almost..almost feel like FREEDOM. You determine all decision by yourself. There's no one to bicker backer with, no one to nag at you when you are in "I told you so" situation and all the TIME is yours to enjoy and get pampered.

Get the xyz of my point? FREEDOM = TIME = no one nagging at you.

Wow..another Nobel prize for creating another silly formula!
