-drumrolls- The ingredients for kimchi... Cabbage? or sumthing... chilli...the intructor btw
told us wad ingredient is in it and how to make it but i forgotten lols ><>
plus honey drink for us to drink. heheh it was really delicious the drink =)
Dat done, my father bought a whole box of kimchi,6 big packs in total (his a big fan of kimchi
too) to bring back to Singapore to enjoy and we had photo-shoots wearing korea Traditional
dresses. Imagine: Da chae gum those kind of dresses,minsters,and emperors etc.
i was the emperor and my father was the minister hahahha. ;) sis and bro look SOO
cute in their lil costume and my mum wore ...sumthing lyk wad da chae gum wears.
Den next, we went to chaguk palace,where the story of da chae gum was based on its
history. Yea yea i noe... da chae gum here da chae gum there lols . xD
Walking to the palace.... As we went inside, there was a parade goin on, so our tour guide,Linda brought
us to watch it. Was juz as if there was a war goin on lmao. Drum beating and all...
Soldiers,officers..sir de yah lols =..=
Close look of the ppl playing the symbol Den who went inside the palace.. i think this is where the emperor eats..
our tour guide,linda oso told us about the palace's history and i ain't a supergenius
who can rmb everything so..i wun tell u abt this palace's history.ps ^^
NOtice how uneven the floor is? Linda said that at the olden times,
they din have a roller to make the stones flat and dats y its so uneven. She said dat this
floor has 3 uses. first use is dat it creates friction so dat the soldiers,officers wun slip
easily. Secondly, it serves sumthing lyk a "drainage system" cuz when it rains heavily,
the water would go into deeper parts of the floor thus the floor wun flood completely.
AND thirdly, its easy to sprain ur ankles walking in this kind of floor huh? so soldiers
and officers would be looking at the floor,watching their steps, at the same time, Bowing
to the emperor. LOLS. i think sum of these are untrue =P
Almost sprained my ankle walking those kind of lousy uneven ground = =lll
The emperor's throne.... The green dragons.. the number of dragons the emperor have, shows how he is ranked
more is better of course =X
The minister meeting wif the emperor. this is the emperor's meeting room. Can you see two guys standing beside the doors? yea they help the minister and emperor take off their shoe
when entering and help them wear it back when leaving lmao. hope the emperor and minister dun have smelly feets XD. the man in blue... a.k.a the minister
Bowing down to the emperor before goin inside.
THe grand place where the emperor have his karoke sessions xPP See those little monkeys on top? yea they r monkeys... nt man or anything esle. frm the
top of the rooft, they slowly transform into wad we would noe as 'sun wukong' or monkey
king. its suppose to ward off evil spirts.
See all those scary scary lion face on the door? well, they suppose to scare
off birds and prevent them from building their nest under the rooft.
Outside Korean's president house... unfortunately we din get to go inside the Korean's president house cuz there is goin to be a protest, yep korea's protest juz almost abt everything, they r even worst than Taiwans lols. as u can see they is a person wearing red
roller-skating. policeman. lols yep dunno y they dress lyk dat. it can't be a disguise right?
haha . after this , we went to the airport and transfered to jeju-island wif even a lower
class aeroplane. its even worst than budget airline. SO SMALL. MIDDLE seat only have 3,
window seat 2 . no anything. got music but they never gib out headphones lols.
TOok this great sunset frm the plane's window. nice eh?
AFter we arrived at jeju, Lols IT WAS COLD REALLY COLD. i think abt 10 degree celsius.
everyone was shivering and all of them wore jackets except me. too lazy to get it out of
the luggage. lols anyway, seldom get to experience this kinda of natural coolness so i decided to
bask in it rather than to keep myself warm.hehe =/
den dinner ... jeju is famous for its seafood and it was one of the most memorable
i had ever eaten . they put all the seafood into a steamboat and guess wad?
THE CRAB was as small as ur fist, exculding its limbs and the prawns.. aiyo as big
as ur middle finger LOL. and worst to come, it was armour plated wif spikes for its shell
so had to take out the shell, prick my hands twice. haha dats about dat happen
on dat day. hotel was avrg. part 3 continues hopefully tmmr cuz tmmr is a busy
day for me. so gtg now cya!

~~Our tour group... total 33 people . ps the picture quite unclear cuz i tok
it wif my phone camera on the photo lols XD.yea can u see me ? =P
REACHED in korea @ 5.40am in the morning lmao.
All of us so tired but we managed to get off the plane
and take our luggage. Ate Abalone porridge for breakfast
xD one bowl costs 10 000 won .. convert to singDollars
is about $13 lols. and the we all felt scamed. in the bowl,
the abalone is nt lyk one slice one slice. its all Small tiny pieces
and 90% of it is mushrooms lols and we din finish it cuz everyone
was waiting for us. =X but well, its nt really nice to eat anyway.
Den the tour guide, Linda(shes a korean chinese and oso the best tour guide i every came across ) marked everyone's attendance and
we proceeded to Nami island for sightseeing in the morning.
And during the bus ride to there .. the whole tour group
was ALL COMpletely quiet except the tour guide who was
introducing us to korea and stuff. i guess pratically everyone
was too tired/shy XD. Nami island is the place where it is
named in the memory of a brave korea soldier
who fought @ the age of 18 and died at 27. the island is
shaped yea MAGICALLY LYK A LEAF and it is also one of the
filming site of a hit korean drama, winter sonata.
And man.. it was really magical
when u enter the island.Once we reached there,
we folowed the tour guide around the island and were given free time
to take photos . Scenery was one of the nicest i ever seen
and it would have been even nicer if it was authum. A picture
speaks a thousand words so... here are sum pics of the
really really beautiful island ^^
The boat that ferry us to the island ... heheh daring me.. i risked my phone
taking this picture XD LOLS.
Entrance to the island... See the trees growing in a almost straight row. yep its a hard
and long process for to make this kind of stuff. pity theres sum ppl blocking
the view =..=''
Encountered this giant guitar and piano on my way so decided to take a pic of it.
Looks quite interesting xD
This is wad i call...Breataking. and in authumn.. everything would red..and even if a person is standing beside u and ur looking @ it... u wun even noe if the person fainted.
See... sum of the leaves are turning red alrdy.. btw.. they r maple trees =)
Trees...Trees and more trees.... =D Message by the aliens in the woods OMG..call the FBI XD
Impressive 7 -storeys tall trees..had to crane my neck to take this pic
Seen enulf trees? Heheh..den aft dat, we went back to korea shore and
the bus driver drove us to our lunch restarant. Its juz a short drive there
so we reached there in no time. Initially before i went on this tour i was
worried dat there would be no one around my age.. teenagers... dat
kind of stuff but now for the first time.. the bus wasn't all dat quiet..
everyone was sort of making frens here and there and i saw lots of ppl
around my age..in fact...older than me but still youths ^^ as u see in the tour
group photo. Ah... the relief.
Lunch was great..one of a kind where u can only eat in korea. It was
cabbages and seasoned beef plus sauce in a wok where u fry them by
urself..man SIMPLY SHOIK. =)Plus got free unlimited coke FREE.UNlimited.
XD drank dunno 10cups ?
Unripen acorn i plucked frm the acorn tree while we were goin to the restaurant
or chang ting =/
The delicious food right in front of me..wahahaha-evil laughs-
Den after eating we procceed to LotteWorld Adventure Theme Park...
the tour guide'company in fact xD. Lotte is a common name and a big company industry
in Korea becuz i came across Lotte Hotel,Lotte Chewing Gum.Lotte Theme Park,
Lotteria(fast food restaurant), Lotte Duty Free Shop, Lotte Tour guides.
haha imagine the boss muz really be a billionaire. everything is really up
to standard. LotteWorld Adventure Theme Park WASN't really fun(juz on par wif genting's)
or all that mayb becuz we only could play 3 rides there(dats wad the tour covered
for everyone) ? Tight
schedule >_>
Tok this on the monorail ...the "taj maha" of LotteWorld =X 1 ride gone.the indoor of Lotteworld .Yep there is a indoor and outdoor .
Played the other two rides on Vechicles that stimulates egypts and simba's
stories. dats wad my bro and sis dared to sit only lols. so.. nth much =/ cnt
find a good sovereign too. Dinner was a so-so even though the Linda said
it was 'nt bad' . i ordered one that was so spicy(it din even say it was spicy)
and had to drink more than 10cups of cold water for 1 bite . Y_Y
den Lotteworld had this regular parade @ 7pm everyday so we went down
and watched . IT was really quite cool..considering theres a mad man to spice everything
up during the parade. Look out for a man dancing in the vid. hes nt part of the group btw.
Yay ...the almightly croc dances XD
hohoho..i am the Queen of the world ;)
lols sumthng is wrong wif the vid...-.- u might nt see it but nvm these two dat u
muz watch .Anyways after Lotteworld we went back to Seoul Garden Hotel.
Lousy hotel -.- its 5 stars in korea but internationally its only 4 stars.Still
same standard as korea. Imagine Seoul its lyk Hong kong plus New york.
Crowded , streets so busy even after 12 am ahs. Carried all our luggage to our
room was tempted to take a bubble bathe but decided nt to. Bath tub doesn't look too appealing lols yea. gtg now...DAy 2 (part2) continues tmr xD post is too long haha .Cya!
heres the last vid.
bye!
