Salam R eaders! FH couldn't be happier when I was given the opportunity by Allah to visit Seoul last week. One year plan finally realized on 22nd April when we finally step on Daehan Land. FH went there with my two good friends from UPM years in 17th College. Yanti. FH. Farahin This entry is specifically dedicated for interesting people I met in Seoul.  In between our 'treasure hunt' journey in Seoul, (FH call it treasure hunting because for me the best part of backpacking is when all our nerves and senses activated to make sure we find the places we are looking for. Adrenalin were high and excitement roar when we finally find our the places we wanted to go), Allah of course planned better for us when we met by chances with few interesting Soul in Seoul.  1) Habil from Bangladesh Habil came from Bangladesh when he was only 16 years old and live in Seoul (specifically Itaewon Area) since then.
