Wikitravel

I found a website. It's named 'Wikitravel - http://wikitravel.org'. If you have already heard about wikipedia, you might get what kind of site is. Yes, it's branch of the wikipedia(http://www.wikipedia.org) It includes lots of travel things, just like lonely planet. It doesn't seem better than lonely planet, but I think it will be getter better than lonely planet. As we know the story of Wikipedia. 

To know English makes life getting better. I can surf lots of websites written by English. I was not able to imagine this past. Wow it's totally new world to me. In the internet world, there are lots of things to do. I was totally ignorant. 

I'm so glad to studying English. 

Here are some part of article from wikitravel. It's about Seoul. Yes I like to read Korean things written by English. -_-;;

Apgujeong (압구정) is the upmarket area of Seoul. Walk around the streets and you'll see kids valet parking their new Benz or Audi, strutting their new designer threads and looking generally, well, rich. That said, a lot of people who party in Apgujeong aren't necessarily rich and actually live far away. There are some clubs and bars here, but it is a rather subdued venue for partying. Nightlife here consists mainly of designer bars and restaurants. Places where it isn't possible to valet haven't turned out to be great hits traditionally. That said, there are a few small clubs in the area. Expect English to be more commonly spoken in this area too, due often to overseas education or excessive private tutoring. However with it comes a certain desensitization to foreigners, so don't expect people to stare or approach you as much as they would in other parts of Seoul. Consider Apgujeong as a great place to hang out, not rock out. If you wanted to impress a date for example, this would be a great place to go to. The backstreets of Apgujeong tend to sprout and lose new clubs seemingly at random throughout the year, so exploring off the main drag from time to time can sometimes yield a new "hot club of the month."


I used to work near Apgujeong. It's take only 10 minutes on feet from Company to Apgujeong. So me and my co-workes liked to hang out in Apgujeong. I miss that time. Apgujeong is also one of my favorite date place. There are lots of fancy restaurant and pub. I think it's perfect place to date. haha.

Hi, this is makiko. You should update your blog, because I also just started! I was reading some of your old ones and actually surprised that your article is getting longer and better! I hope mine will be, too :-)
