My friends and I already bought the hotel and tickets. But, because of the virus, we still are considering. We are considering maybe Dali is our another option.

I just start from two years ago. This year I think it’s difficult for me to continue it because I can’t go to Japan.

First, I have friends in Korea so I visit them and they can recommend good places. I’m good at Korean so I can search online. Jeju is only view city while Seoul and Bushan are shopping hotspots/destinations.

At that time my dream is talk with my idol without a translator. Even in China, I saw my idols once. After H.O.T, I like Arashi.
