Hi All, i took more than 1000 Photos and Videos and it has been a long process to do the sorting and clean up, as well as consolidating everything in 4 videos and finally converting them to a format that is compatible with the forum.
I want to start with thanking Samsung Gulf for this wonderful opportunity, a truly once in a lifetime experience, to meet up amazing lovely people, that share the same enthusiasm and love for the Samsung brand, from all over the world and of all ages.
It was a 5 stars experience, super well organized, no detail missed. It was divided into 4 days, which i summerized in 4 different videos, documenting everything we have done.
Day 1: Orientation.
Boy what a long journey that was, 10 hours direct flight 6,885Km from Dubai to Seoul, South Korea.
I landed, got picked up, checked in the hotel, rested a bit, and off to the COEX center where the Upacked Event was going to be held the next day for Orientation. We were divided into 8 groups, from all nationalities and regions. It was a lovely night, got to meet everyone for the first time, received a full orientation on what is going to happen during the amazing journey, briefed on every single detail, had a lovely 5 stars dinner. During that evening, some awards were awareded to the best group that had docuemented their journey to Seoul, and we did some team building activities.

Day 2: Inspiration Day.
Hands down, best experience ever. We went to Samsung Digital City, but were not allowed to take photos or videos of the best parts. The digital city is the best place to be, Accomodation, Day Care, Health Care, Parks, Sports Centers, Canteens, Shops, Offices, etc etc.
This was my Disney Land, we got to see the buildings where all the magic happens, where the devices are created, where the ideas are created. Each building represents a product, it was magical. Best part of it? the QA Lab, where all the tests you see on TV or Youtube happen, stress tests, temperature shocks, drop tests, crash tests, you name it. After that, we went for lunch at the amazing neverending canteen, then continued the tour. We spent most of the day there, jumped for a quick dinner and headed to the Unpacked event. A truly red carpet experience, the place was packed outside, an invitation only event, what i have been watchin for years on tv was happening live infront of me. You all witnessed how awesome it was, and we enjoyed every second of it. Just when the event was done, we met T.M. Roh, and got invited to see the devices for the 1st time as shown to the world, with hands on experiences.

Day 3: Experience Day.
A very interesting day that started in the Gangnam district, one of the best every Samsung stores. The amazing thing is that they have in Korea a range of watch straps, phone covers, and buds cases that cannot be found anywhere in the world. We spent the day in the shop, i documented all the items worth seeing. After the shop we were off to a workshop with Instagram influencers, had another team building competition where we competed playing Asphalt 9, and we were handed out 1 Fold 5, 1 Flip 5, a Watch and Tab s9 Ultra Tablets to test for the full day, a true privilege. After the workshop was done, we went to the tallest building in Korea, observatory and took some night photos.

Day 4: Entertainment Day.
This was a fun day, started off with a trip to the opening of the Flip Side Market Store. A new store located in one of the best areas in Korea, where the architecture is a mix between indurstrial and modern. The buildings are left on purpose with some Industrial look where you'd think they are unfinished, but it's an architectural masterpiece. We got the chance to see T.M. Roh once again, visit the shop, record interviews and reviews, took lots of pictures. After that was done, we went on a photo challenge around the city, picked some beautiful places to take photos in order to see who wins by the end of the day at the Gala dinner. Later at night, it was time to say goodbye, and the Gala Dinner was the best place, awards were given to the members in different categories, like best photo, best review, most liked photo, etc... Awards were Tab S9 Ultra, Watch 6 Classic, Fold 5, Flip 5, etc.. and the dinner was amazing, enjoyed our time, and had to say goodbye as the journey ended and all of us were returning home the next day.
