Sparkling Korea - Day 4

Buffet breakfast in the hotel.
We left Gyeongju for Yeongju after breakfast.

Finally reached Bulguksa Temple.
I din find the spring water tasted any different thou.


There is a story behind each architecture.

This 木鱼is one of the 4 things a temple must have.

The stairs to the temple above was really steep. Each step was 2/3 the length of my calf.


We went to Daegu shopping district.Then we headed to Daegu International Airport to take a domestic flight to Jeju.

Not all the planes had linkway for the passengers. And it happened that our plane didn't have it.

First thing upon reaching Jeju --- dinner.
I didn't quite like the dinner for that night thou.

Checked into our hotel --- The Hotel.

The casino in the hotel was quite small thou.

Sparkling Korea - Day 3

We woke up feeling refreshed. The tatami mattress could really keep us really warm.

Outside our room...












Me making Korean mua-zhi.





Next came Korean calligraphy.




Not too bad i guess.


Next came the wedding ceremony. A couple from our tour group were asked to dress up in wedding costume and play a role in the wedding ceremony. They looked very cute!



Our next stop --- Spa valley



There were both outdoor and indoor facilities. Due to the cold weather, we decided to stay indoor.


The indoor was divided into nude spa and non-nude (swim wear allowed) spa. Initially, the lp n sf were too shy to go, and no one to acc me, so we went to the non-nude one.


My shoe locker.



Juz as we were abt to leave the spa, we saw the aunties in our tour group were entirely naked. They went to the nude spa! Since aunties were so daring, we must'nt lose out to them rite? And so, we went. haha.
By the way, when we went to the locker area to change, we were quite shocked to see naked women, regardless of shape and figure, walking ard like nobody's business. So there was really nothing to be shy abt.




Then the doctor fish spa. Liping seemed to have lots of dead skin on her feet. Look at that school of fishes! It was damn ticklish, I couldn't keep my legs in there for long.



Eating ice-cream in a cold weather was the best. :P



We checked into our hotel. I am a toilet fanatic. By that I mean I appreciate nicely furnished toilets and they can be found in most 5 stars hotels.



The night was still young. So we decided to go to the streets.



The english seems funny.
