Yo guys!
kays...heres the scnd day on the 6N8D

korea tour i juz went to recently. it gonna be quite short but
ahs... cuz second day was lyk transfer frm Seoul to
jeju-island;its a very beautiful island btw. So...

after eating breakfast, we went to the kimchi-making



place immediately. Kimchi was the world 5th




most best food according to wad the tour guide said.




and it has 5 times more good bacteria than yoghurt.




Well, i agree on dat XD. And did u noe dat kimchi




IS a complusory dish in all Meals? a meal would be incomplete




without it for the koreans. And during




the winter season, koreans eat only




kimchi and rice? i'm nt so sure why but




they would always make 1-3 yrs worth




of kimchi and keep it in a fridge specially




designed for kimchi. Yup, it would spoil




or rot. Cool eh? =P








kimchi tastes really good (to me ^^)




those who had eaten kimchi should noe




how it tastes lyk eh? a lil spicy but as i




eat it everyday three times a day in korea...




kimchi's spiceness became almost no feeling




to me. LOLs.








-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!

bye!
