Day 1
Took Asiana Airline down to seoul at around 2pm singapore time and reach there at around 10am korea time. Straight down from the plane, we made our way to the Kim Chi school to learn how to make Korea traditional Kim Chi. And after our lunch, we took another plane to jeju island. So thats day 1 in korea. haha. Sound short, but its really tiring. Maybe its because we took the plane 2 times in 1 day. lol

Day 2
We had Jeju's very famous Abalone Porridge at a small restaurant that's near the shore of Jeju. After breakfast, we went over to the shore to take some pictures and there's one rock that look's like a dragon head according to the tour guide. Then our next destination is a Korea traditional village which is also the filming venue of the show 'Da Chang Jin'. And our guide is also a actress in this show but only starred for 2 minutes washing clothes. LOL. She's damn funny lah. Keep on stressing that she starred in 'Da Chang Jin' for 2 mintues. HAHA. Lunch was black pig's meat then was mountain climbing and Teddy Bear Shop next. lol. The most interesting part for the day will be visiting of the Ghost Road and Sashimi Dinner. When we are facing a uphill road at the Ghost road, our coach strangly roll down towards the front. This should only happen if we are facing a downhill. We even alight from the coach to see for ourselves. Indeed we were facing a uphill... and after hearing from the tour guide explanation, actually its our wrong perception. In actually fact we were standing on a down hill. So strange... Then dinner was Jeju's famous seafood and sashimi.
Although the porridge don't look good, but it really NICE!!
Does the rock behind me look like a dragon head?
We have to climb up like 1000+ of steps to reach the sumit and capture this beautiful scenery(:
Korea Traditional Village
Black Pigs
The abalone is still alive and moving. LOL
These sashimi is dam nice!!
Day 3
Took a 1 hour flight back to seoul and then we made our way to 'Everland', a very huge theme park which is about the size or even bigger then TP. There's even a wild life zoo where we manage to get up close with the animals there. A window plane is only the divider between us.
Didn't manage to take to many photos as our camara charger has spoilt and the camara is running out of battery soon ): At night, we check-in into a ski resort thats located just beside the skiing ground. The interior of the resort looks just like a typical korean home. There's even kitchen. haha. So during the night, we decided to buy some instant udon and cook for supper ((:
Us in pjamas. HAHA!
That's the view from our room.
Day 4
Day 4 was spent learning the skills of skiing and also visit the filming place of 'Winter Sonata'. Its freaking cold over there as its located at the top of a hill lah. Then during the night, we check in into another resort that near waterpia.
Waterpia is a place where people can go swimming or do suana. Once inside waterpia, we will have to keep our shoe at the 1st locker as shoes is prohibited inside the compound. After which, we then proceed to our respective gender's toilet where we will strip and change into swimming trucks and keep our stuff into the 2nd locker. We chose swimming cause if we were to do suana, we must strip naked inside the toilet and walk quite a distance without any clothes or towel on to the suana room. I'm shy lah. hahaha. Inside the toilet, its divided into 3 areas. Locker area, wash up area and dressing area. Its very clean inside here, out of these 3 areas only the wash up area is wet, the rest of the area is very dry. not even a drip of water. The koreans really wipe themselves dry before proceeding to the rest of area. Inside the dressing area, There's hair dryer, hair cream, hair gel, hair wax, hair spray, perfume and comb. On top of that, there's even a small dryer machine to dry our swimming trucks. Im damn impress by it man!!

Day 5,6,7,8
The Camera went died. So i only took a couple of picture with my handphone. Fortunately the rest of the days was just shopping and visit some places where taking of photos was prohibited :) Places like ginseng shop etc.
Shopping street in korea, seoul
That's the fliming place of 'The Coffee Prince'. A korean drama.
The toilet is damn nice lah. Its in one of the hotel we stayed in. In total we actually stayed in 5 different hotels/resort. haha
The toilet bowl is dam cool!! Can help to wash your butt one. haha.
Korea was truly AMAZING!! Especially the people, the scenery, the food, the weather!! The korean tour guide, her assistant and our tour leader made the trip even WONDERFUL!! Its been like 10+ years since i've sat a aeroplane. And for this trip, i've get to sit the plane for 4 times in 8 days. haha. Flying between singapore-seoul-jeju.
The assistant was like 22 yrs old only and his really hardworking considering that his primary job is just to shoot photos of us. Whenever we were having our meals, he would always stand by around to assist us until we were almost done before he would leave to have his meal for like 5 mins only, then come to us again to see if we need any help. Without fail, he would always help us to carry all of our lugage whenever we check in or check out from a hotel. This really shows the character of a korean.
Next is the food. Frankly, im not really a fan of korean crusine. But after having their type of food for the past 8 days, i would say korean crusine wasn't that bad after all. Althought every meal seems like a vegetarian diet. lol. What made them stand out is that korean is never stingy with their food. No matter whether you are tourist or not, you can always top up your rice, vege, meat, kim chi, etc. for free.
Now the attractive part, their scenery and weather. Their scenery was truly magnificent!! I dun think i have ever seen such a nice view of a country before!! And their weather was really cold in Seoul, like between -4 to 4 degree and 4 to 12 degree in jeju. The feeling of the cold air blowing against you is really ' SHUANG' !!
8 days really pass by very fast.. Now im starting to miss korea already ): Those experiences that i gain is really priceless!!

3:23 PMTERM TEST IS OVER!! haha. FMF paper is such a breeze man. Before this paper, our lecturer had just literally tell us what each question is asking us and gave us almost all the answer to it. A 1 hr paper can just be completed in 20mins. LOL.
SaturdayHeaded down to boon lay in the morning to visit the newly extended Jurong Point cum having brunch. Duno what happen during the journey, suddenly my stomach ache like hell sia. Cannot take it anymore!! Have to alight at clarke quay station and rush to the toilet. So after like 15mins of BIG business, i manage to get out of the toilet and tab in into the station to continue my journey. Who knows what happen again!! my stomach ache like hell again once i reach the platform. No choice. Have to tab out and do my business for the 2nd time... In the end im late for 1 hour, thanks to my problematic stomach.
So, to refill what i have lost in the morning, lunch was at Ichiban.
Went to bugis during the evening to buy chistmas present for baby. Walked around bugis street and happen to come across this shop that provide Fish Spa. Its a type of spa where the fishes will help eat up all the bacteria on/in your leg. Not very sure its in or on. LOL. Only baby tried it. The auntie was dam long winded sia. The same thing of ( bugis street will be renovating this coming February) and (the advantages of Fish Spa). She can repeat this 2 things for the entire session that last for 15mins sia!!! POWER!
