Won't be posting on day 1 cuz it was a night flight and reached korea in the morning. So the 'adventure' starts on day 2. :)
Day 2, 29 November 09
Reached Korea and went to the Da Chang Jin filming site. It was drizzling plus there was wind so it's damn cold. Domestic flight after that to Jeju Island. Lots of eye-catching sceneries there, amazing! Went for some sauna thingy and stayed inside a 83degrees room. Burning when i first stepped in but it got better eventually. :) Ohyeah! The korean women/girls are damn open!
They change like infront of the lockers and when i say change i mean completely naked!
They just take off their clothes like that and all the females from my tour were damn freaked out. LOL.
Changed back and off to more sight seeing. (No, i didn't change like that. I used the toilet cubicle. :D)
Most of them are filming sites of dramas and advertisements so there isn't much, shan't elaborate.
Day 3, 30 November 09
Submarine tours, horse riding, sight seeing and even more sightseeing. Teddy Bear museum was one of the best in Jeju. World's most expensive bear and world's smallest bear are all showcased there. The bears from Goong (궁), a korean drama was also there. Mysterious road after that.
Ohgosh. That place seriously freaked me out. The bus driver stopped in the middle of some road then switched off his engines and the tour bus somehow was moving/'driving'. Back to hotel to sleep.
Day 4, 1 December 09
Spent the entire day at Everland. (a theme park almost similar to Disneyland). Wasted quite alot of time taking pictures, walking around and eating. But still, we did have time for rides/shows/adventures k! :P Took the T Express, World's steepest roller coaster and highest, fastest, longest in Korea. Mygod, the slopes were damn steep and damn high! You could see the whole of Everland, even higher than the trees! I almost died from the pressure while going down. -.- Went for a Rotating House thingy where we got to experience what it feels like to rotate 360degrees in a house. Really fascinating! These two are actually the few which i enjoyed. Dinner and back to hotel.
Day 5, 2 December 09
Sight-seeing and sceneries again. One of the nicest scene! Took cable car up and climbed abit up to the mountain top. Snapped and snapped and snapped like as if there's no tomorrow. The snow plus trees plus mountain plus sun was really beautiful. Totally worth climbing!
Went to a water theme park after that. The outdoor rides were closed cuz it's winter so played indoor. We did go to the outdoor pool (it's linked to the indoor one) but stayed in the water cuz it's warm. We would've been frozen if we got out of the pool.
Went to a 38.6degrees jacuzzi pool, shiok! Bathed then walked for 5 minutes back to the hotel. :)
Day 6, 3 December 09
SKIING! Firstly, the ski shoes were DAMN HEAVY and it was hard. So everyone looked like robots when we were walking from the lockers out to the ski area. Some were tired even before we started anything cuz the equipments were really damn heavy and it's tiring to walk with them on.
It looked easy at first but it was scary for the first time down the slope. Fell twice and got the hang of it. :)
Oh it snowed when we were skiing halfway and everyone got so excited. The snow was really small though. Looked almost like dust. The Face Shop after that. Omg the things there are dirt cheap i swear. Prices were less than even half of Singapore's! SG, 1 piece of face mask = $3+. There, 1 piece = $1!
But 100 pieces and get 10 free so mum bought it. Nail polish also, 1 bottle $1 only! Spent more than $500 Sing Dollars there.
Lotte World after that, filming site for 'Stairway to Heaven'. It's actually an indoor theme park but 1 ticket could only limit us to 5 rides. Played and watched people ice skate on first level then walked 2 minutes back to the hotel. :)
This hotel was the best of all! 6 star and they had almost everything we needed! Damn clean and classy.
Day 7, 4 December 09
Visited the Presidential Blue House (the President's office/work place) then went to some Ginseng stall and Crystal Factory. Not very interesting though. Kimchi making after that. I was quite disgusted by the smell of the chilli/sauce but it still wasn't that bad. Took pictures in Korean traditional costumes after that. Off the Dongdaemun Market after that! It was exactly like Singapore's Orchard Road!
The christmas lightings and decorations and not forgetting the crowd plus traffic. Walked around but only bought cosmetics from Etude House cuz they only sold winter clothings and i had nothing to buy. -.-
Day 8, 5 December 09
Did last minute shopping cuz flight was in the afternoon. Snowed again while we were shopping and the wind was a killer! But at least this time the snow was slightly heavier and it didn't look like dust. Shopped and went to airport, checked in, blahblah, movies/music in the plane and here i am!
Finally back to Singapore! After coming back i really hate the weather here. It was so cold in Korea we completely didn't perspire!
And so almost 3/4 of the tour bathed only once a day. Now when i'm back in Singapore i've to bathe 3 times a day. Plus it makes my face feel oily and disgusting. Tsk.
I think this post is long and wordy enough so i'll stop. Will post SOME of the pictures up here.
Though most of them will be on facebook. So stay tuned and please continue commenting!
K i need my sleep so goodnight! Love you bye. :)
