"Jal Danyeooseyo"

The place that I choose as my destination someday that I would not hesitate to choose is South Korea. The main reason why I would choose Korea as my destination is that I want to visit Seoul and Jeju Island.

According to my research Seoul is the capital of South Korea and it's one of the modern cities in the world. Korean people are usually friendly, very kind and willing to help their friends according to my sister who work in korea for almost 5 years . Korea was so amazing and Clean if you forget your phone they will return it to you and if they are done eating they are the one who clean it. The one main reason why i really want to go their because I love their foods and I want to go the sea food market in Noryangjin pick your fresh sea foods and specially their Kimchi , korean noodles and many more .

The second part of South Korea I would like to visit is Jeju island because it has hot tourist spot booming with unique attractions. Jeju's romantic sunrises and sunsets, mild climate and a beautiful place to lived . I want to experience to Hike at the Baeknok Lake at the top of Mount Halla, South Korea's highest peak. I also want to sea "haenyeo" female divers gathering fresh seafoods, and the iconic " Grand father statues" displayed outside of many restaurants. Most importantly I hope to see my favorite KPOP stars by chance .

There are other countries I could visit if I had opportunity to visit foreign country. However, I think South Korea would be my first choice.
