It was summer last year (2011), I planed to visit Yongma waterfall park which is located in Yongmasan with him. I guess you guys wonder how did I know this place. I discovered this place a couple days after my finals, when I was searching for some good places around Seoul to visit on his Iphone4. And finally I found this place. I was so excited that I could find a good place that I have never been before.

He and I met in front of Belarmino Dormitory where I am living, and we went for lunch at Sogang University's cafeteria. After that, we headed to Sincheon station, and went to our destination by subway.

It took us 45 minutes drove from Sincheon station to Yongmasan station. The weather was pretty hot and cloudy.

Dah!!! On our way there, He got me pissed of because he kept saying that he didn't like my hairstyle. So, I went to the nearby restroom and redo my hair, and finally he confessed that he liked it.

Oh My ...!!!He got his body wet because of the weather. So did I. We decided to take a rest under a shadow until we felt OK. Then we went to see the water fall. This park actually pretty boring that time. There were not so many people as we expected before. It seemed like people who did picnic were whom lived nearby.

And again, the only attractive part in this park is the rock mountain that the water comes down, where I really like so much. This waterfall is kind of artificial, where it only works according to the schedule that already set up. The operation hour is mainly only at the afternoon, and three times a day, seven days a week. Because we arrived at the time when the waterfall was not operate, we had to wait until the operation hour. It seems like we waited for an hour from our arrival.

You know what, I was not patient to see the waterfall that is why I kept asking him the time. I could notice that he was laughing at me even if he pretended.

After wait, wait, and wait, finally it was time to open the waterfall. Whew! I swear the view became more wonderful when the water felt down from the rock. I was so damn excited :). We took a lot of photos with my SONY cam. Well, actually we did take lots of photos before that too. I love taking photo anyway.

Ooooppsss....Suddenly it's raining. We ran to a small house and hid there until the rain stopped.

Korean weather is too strange. It drove me crazy that summer vacation . I could say because of this crazy weather, I canceled some of my trip plans. You who lives in Seoul might know this too. The weather become hot after rain, and even before the rain too. I hate it.

Well, then we just to go back to Sinchon. Anyhow, we enjoyed our time. But he looked so tired. He said that he got headache. I thought it was because of rain. Stupid rain!!!

By the way, some foreigners here in Seoul might not know this place maybe. So, I planned to upload those photos that I took to Facebook in order to recommend them for visiting.

I think this place is a lil bigger than waterfall that I visited in Jeju Island. Only the surrounding park looks not that much pretty as Jeju has, plus it looks boring as well (maybe only that time we went there). Also, waterfall in Jeju is Natural one while waterfall in Yongmasan is artificial. However it is still look wonderful with his triple waterfalls, and it is near to Seoul, without entrance fee as well, so people who live in Seoul can go visiting it instead spend lots money for visiting Jeju.

HOME SWEET HOME

TIMOR LESTE
1. CRISTO REI & AREIA BRANCA

Finally I went on a date with my cousins and sisters. It was the best time ever for me since my arrival in East Timor. My mom's busy and she didn't stay at home for the whole day, so my dad took her place doing housework. Since I was at home, I swear I didn't have enough time hanging out with my family because of helping my dad did the housework.

Well, it was 27 January, around 4pm; I was intended to go out with my sisters and cousins. But, unfortunately I was totally broke. dah!!! Emergency~thought I need to go to Western Union for getting the money that was sent by my boyfriend. And, whew, finally I got the money!!!

After I came back home from Western Union, I realized that it's already 5pm. But, gossshhhhhhhhh~~~the weather was freaky HOT. It seems like it's 1pm. Then I and my cousins and sisters went to Cristo Rei, the giant statue in Dili East Timor. I was sorry for them because they waited me for so long. Hehehehe~~

And when we got there, just after 15 minutes walking, without knowing I got sweat all over my body. Anyway, I had a really good time with them.

2. LECIDERE PARK

After getting my new passport, I and my sisters took a taxi the Minister of Justice's office which is located in Colmera-Dili, and got out in front of the Palacio do Governo (The Government Palace). We planned to take a walk through the sea side until Virgin Mary Statue in Lecidere Park. It was cloudy and wasn't that hot. We We started take a walk and took some photos. The place's still the same as 4 years ago before I leave Dili to Seoul. There’s no big difference for me.

The view from Palacio do Governo

It was shower for a while when we're still around in front of the Palacio do Governo for taking photos. We then continued our step to Lecidere Park. It seemed like my younger sister already got tired, but because of me, she pretended to be ok to walk with us and always showed her smile until we got to the Lecidere Park. (Ow~~I miss her already)

The statue of Saint Mary in Lecidere Park

Once we got there, I saw some people sell coconut around that park. I really wanted to taste the coconut, but I have no money. Plus, my sisters didn't like coconut. What they wanted to have was bakso. Well, the park was redesign into a very beautiful one and better than before. It made me wanted to stay more there, but the weather didn't support us. So, we decided to go back and had bakso in small restaurant.

God, it was almost 10 minutes we were waiting for taxi right in front of the Park's gate to go to the restaurant, but there was no taxi passing by. Finally we got a taxi when it started raining. I quickly opened the door and we got inside. After around 10 minutes, we got to the restaurant.
