In the past, when I heard someone said "KOREA", the first think that occured on my mind is Korean Drama. But nowadays, when I heard "KOREA", I'll think about Running Man and K-Pop, but don't worry... I won't forget about Korean Drama. I was falling in love with Korea because of the three things that I mentioned before. After I watched the Running Man, I really want to visit South Korea. Why?? Because when the Member did the mission, the game shows that there are still plenty of landmark that must be visited in Korea.
If KOREAN AIR, KTO, andbuzz KOREA give "Gennie in the Bottle" to me that can grant my wish. Ohh, Of course I would love so. There are a lot of things that I want to do if I could go to Korea. If I list the wishlist about the things that I want to do may be it will take 2 Days 2 Night, hohoho just kidding (because there are too many things that made me curious about Korea). But, I'll make it more specific so we can generate it to the most things that I want to do in Korea.
A. Football always life in my heart
I really love football and I watched the World Cup 2002 that held in South Korea and Japan (but only on Television, ohh Poor me!!). One think that was occurred to me was that Korean people LOVE their National Team Squad, which at the time was the name of Park Ji Sung and Ahn Jung Hwan become so famous.I got goosebump when all the people in the Stadium sang the chant that have this phrase:
Oh, that made me amazed with the way of Korean people support their football team. So, I decided If I go to South Korea, I want to watch the football game (maybe Qualification fase og World Cup 2014) that hold on the Seoul World Cup Stadium. And I want to sing the chanting together with all the people in the stadium (that will be an honour for me to cheer up the team), like in the following video :
I've heard from my 선생님 that if I go to Korea, it will be great if I try to taste many kind of food from Korea. And there are some foods that made me curious to try it. The first food that made me curious about the taste is Patbingsoo (Korean shaved ice dessert). I want to taste the flavors of this dessert. Patbingsoo originally began as ice shavings and sweetened azuki beans. In contemporary culture, it has become a very elaborate summer dessert, often topped with ice cream or frozen yogurt. Hmmm.. It sounds Yummy..
The other kind of foods that I want to taste is Bibimbap (비빔밥 , that means "mixed rice"). Bibimbap is served as a bowl of warm white tice topped with namul and chilli pepper paste. A raw of fried egg and sliced meat are common additions. The ingredients are stirred together thoroughly just before eating. Therefore, I want to visit Jeonju to taste the most famous Bibimbap in Korea.
Traveling to korea is not complete without kimchi. It means I would like to know more about the history of kimchi. And to answer all my curiosity, go to the Kimchi Field Museum in the basement of the COEX Mall is the right choice.
The last but not the least from food section, I want to learn how to make delicious Kimchi directly from the native Korean mothers because many people say that the most delicious Kimchi is made by the mother.
C. Life would be empty without the entertainment
As we know, there are lots of different types of stage shows in Korea. From all the many types of performances that exist in Korea, there are two kinds of performances that I really want to watch.
The first is Nanta Cookin', this show is amazing. I want to watch a live show of Nanta and I want to hear the rhytmic banging of knives, pots and pans that they create from the show. I love this performance because the show involves acrobatics, magic tricks, comedy, pantimine and audience participation.
The other performances that I want to watch are Marionette show, JUMP show and Ballerina Who Loves A B-Boy show. That show is a show that must be seen before you leave Korea, otherwise we will regret it.
D. Vacation is not complete without traveled
It's means that there are many places must visit in Korea and
I want to visit the Teddy Bear Museum that located in Jeju island. Why would I want to go there? Because only in these museum we can see "teddy" that wore Hanbook. The teddy bear in these museum show us the hostory of Joseon Dinasty with the cute way, it feel like watching the historical drama of Korea or we can called it Sa Geuk. And if it allowed, I would like to take photos with teddy bear that appeared in the Goong drama.
I want to rest in Jimjilbang and I want to try to use this kind of towel (see the picture below). Jimjilbang is a curious mix of sauna, spa and entertainment facility and also doubling up as the country’s cheapest form of accommodation.
Seoul Museum of Chicken Art, this museum is an extraordinary. Why? Because this museum only exhibits diverse chicken art from farious culture around the world. And the thing that I want to do here is I want to find out if there are "chickens" that come from Indonesia.
Because I've watched a lot of korean historical drama, I keen to visit Gyeongbokgung Palace. The name of the palace, Gyeongbokgung, translates in English as "Palace Greatly Blessed by Heaven". Hmm, such a great name. This palace is a royal palacbut note located in northern Seoul.
The last but not the least, I want to play in the world's biggest theme park, LOTTE WORLD. There is also an outdoor section: Magic Island, connected to the indoor area by monorail. It’s also possible to go ice-skating or bowling in other parts of the complex.
There is still a lot of things I want to do in korea, I hope I can win these competition so I can realize all my expectations above.
Mungkin banyak kawan yang belum tau apa itu Floriade.
Penulis saja sempat menyangka kalau Floriade ini sama dengan Florida (alias
nama salah satu kota di Amerika Serikat). Tapi setelah di CEK and RICEK
ternyata FLORIADEitu merupakan sebuah “World
Holticultural Expo”.
Denger World Expo kayaknya wah banget, mengingat Belanda bukan termasuk Negara Agraris,
agak miris sih ngedengernya secara Indonesia merupakan Negara Agraris tapi
belum bisa mengadakan even internasionalsebesar Floriade. Tapi mari kita lupakan itu dulu sejenak, mari kita
kembali menyelami dunia per-FLORIADE-an.
Floariade ini merupakan sebuah event 10
tahunan, jadi kalau udah kelewatan sekali kita harus sabar nunggu 10 tahun
lagi. Tapi beruntungnya tahun ini merupakan tahun penyelenggaraan Floriade yang
ke-6. Dan untungnya even ini masih berlangsung sampai saat ini, karena Floriade
ini berlangsung dari 5 April – 7 Oktober 2012 di kota Venlo.
Biar makin penasaran buat dateng ke Floriade 2012, jangan lupa klik video di atas ya...
Pergelaran tahun ini mengusung tema
"Be
part of the theatre in nature; get closer to the quality of life"
Jadi bisa kita bayangkan dong, bakal ada beragam pertunjukan
dari Teater Perkebunan yang nggak pernah
lihat dan bayangkan sebelumnya. Inilah salah satu bentuk dari kehausan akan ide
baru dalam dunia perkebunan yang dilahirkan oleh masyarakat Belanda.
Relax & Heal Area di Floriade 2012
Di Floriade 2012
terdapat 5 buah area taman dengan tema yang berbeda. Tapi ada satu area taman
di RELAX & HEAL area yang membuat penulis begitu EXCITED. Salah satu pavilionnya
yang bernama “Home of Health and Happiness” terlihat begitu sehat dan menenangkan. Coba
bayangkan kalau kita tinggal di rumah yang begitu hijau dan segalanya terbuat
dari tanaman.
Ada banyak tanaman herbal begitu juga tanaman
bumbu di rumah ini, jadi sebelum masak kita bisa langsung petik deh itu
bumbu-bumbuan yang kita butuhkan. Mau tidur-tiduran santai bisa tidur di kursi
malas yang diselimuti oleh rumput halus, jadi kita bisa tidur sembari merasakan
refleksi dari rumput-rumput tersebut.
Meja Makan versi "Home of Health and Happiness"
Lucu kan???
Jadi bisa kita
bayangkan bagaimana sebuah ide bisa tercipta hanya dari hal-hal simple yang ada
di keseharian kita. Tapi yang bikin TERPUKAU adalah ide membawa masuk
tanaman-tanaman dari kebun yang outdoor ke dalam rumah. Jadilah rumah kita
Taman Indoor. Ide ini sebenarnya ingin
mengajak kita untuk mendukung hidup hijau dan sehat yang terinspirasi oleh alam
tanpa melupakan segi Estetika dan Arsitekturnya. Semua ide ini diusung oleh “Home
of Health and Happiness” dengan mengambil konsep ‘living nature’
.
Selain itu di sana juga
terdapat RABO EARTHWALK di area taman ENVIRONMENT, Rabo Earthwalk ini berbentuk
seperti belahan bola dunia. Rabo Earthwalk merupakan pavilion yang akan
menampilkan atraksi berupa film untuk memberikan pengunjung pengetahuan tentang segala aspek alam di sekitar kita.
Selain itu di sini juga terdapat glocalizers. Apa itu glocalizers??? Cek disini….
Rabo Earthwalk
Jadi nggak sabar
pengen berkunjung Floriade 2012 di Venlo. Pengen coba tidur-tidurn di kursi
malasnya Home of Health and Happines, pengen nyobain masak di dapurnya Home of
Health and Happines, wahhh Pokoknya jadi pengen semuanya deh.
WISH ME LUCK!! buat
berkunjung ke Floriade di Venlo tahun ini. Dan terus dukung IDE-IDE gila para kreatif dari Negeri Kincir Angin....
