Sparkling Korea - Day 8

Breakfast. Our tour guide said the instant noodle was a must try. Really not too bad.
We went back to 女人街 to buy the heels we saw the day before. After which, we rushed back to the hotel to check out and proceeded to Incheon International Airport.
This luxurious coach was the air transfer trnasport we took from ou hotel to Incheon International Airport. Each person cost 14,000 won. It's not cheap but it comfortable and convenient. Worth the money.
The trip from our hotel to the airport was abt an hour.
At the end of the trip, I had 2 additional bags.

Shufang had 3.

Upon checking in, we went to Paris Croissant for lunch. The pastries were delicious.
Noe what this is? Its an electronic device which will light up and vibrate when ur drinks are ready.
Like this. Then bring this device to the counter to exchange for ur drink.

My last meal in Korea.

Love this Korea trip. It has been the happiest moment I had for the past few months. Looks like going for holi can make one unwind abit. Initially I was afraid that the 3 of us would face some prob during the one day extension as the tour guide wont be wif us. But it turned out well and was a very nice experience in exploring the place ourselves. Besides that, it was my 1st time going some faraway without my parents or teachers. I have proven to mum n dad tat I can tk gd care of myself. They shld be convinced that I can go on holi on my own or wif frens in future. :)

Sparkling Korea - Day 7

Fried 年糕 with chicken for lunch.
We then proceeded to 女人街 in Korea to shop. There were many shoes shops selling very nice heels there.
This is the place where shufang and I bought the angel T-shirt.
The rest of our tour mates came back to singapore after lunch. As the 3 of us extended one day, the rest of the afternoon was free and easy. We decided to tk a train back to our hotel before proceeding to Lotte World. This is the MRT ticket.
Inside the train. The uncle on the right must be thinking I was a country bumpkin who nv tk a train before. He was looking at me for so long loh.
The Lotte World
Look at shufang's hair band.
Our 1st time taking merry go round. Can u believe it?
According to Shufang, this is the scene in one of the korea drama.

BLEAH...
Cat fight between Shufang and Liping.

We had quite a number of roller coaster rides. Liping couldn't take it anymore. So ended up only Shufang and I went for the last ride. Felt gd to scream ur lungs out. haha.

When we reached our hotel, it was already quite late and most of the restaurants were closed. So we ended up eating donuts. Surprisingly, it was superb! (Not due to our hunger thou)

The Mysterious Rd

So why is it called a mysterious road? Explanations as follow.
After that, we flew back to Seoul and our 1st stop was the Kimchi School.
So we went to learn how to make kimchi. My kimchi. Looks decent, isn't it?
We got to wear tradition Korean Costume too.
Shufang got the nicest costume.
We had 硫磺鸭 (i think its called sulphur duck in english) for lunch.


Next stop - cultural street for some shopping.

Dinner - Korean style 鼎泰峰
小龙包

Sparkling Korea - Day 5

First stop - Yongduam (Dragon Head Rock)



The rock behind us was supposed to look like dragon head. It depends on which angle it is being looked at.
The Stone Grandfather, the guardian god of Jeju island.

After that, we went to Songsan Sunrise Peak - a volcanic crater perched out on the eastern tip of Jeju island.

In order to see the crater, we had to climb up the mountain behind. It was damn tiring, think we nd to exercise more.

The crater behind.

Look tired we were.

It was worth the climb.



I thought it shld be the horse pulling the cart. How come it was the other way round?

In the canola plant garden.



The youngest boy in our tour group.

Our long awaited lunch.

We had black pig/boar meat. OK i dunno wat it is called. Juz a black pig.

This is the one. In ancient times, they fed these kind of pig with human shit. Luckily the tour guide told us abt this later. LOL.

In the Seongeup Folk Village - a perfectly preserved Korean tradition, also a screening site for Jewels of the Palace.


This was the open toilet where ppl would shit. The shit would then dropped down for the pig to eat.

Looks like Shufang was having constipation. :P



Jeju Jungmun Daepo Haean Jusangjeollidae







At the Cheonjeyeon waterfalls. A very classic shot. Shufang was trying to chase a fly away.


Now, the actual one.





Our hotel toilet again. That night we stayed in Lotte Hotel in Jeju. It was damn grand.


Outside our hotel.
