A Sunday spent again at Gelare over Choc Chip Waffle with low fat choc chunk ice cream and chicken and mushroom pie while watching people rock climbing and chit chatting. Just plain lazing on the nice comfy sofa they have and a little walk around. Nice.

Bought this Minnie (Bottom right) for little sis to accompany the Mickey she bought earlier. Carried this around suntec and attracted quite alot of attention. Luckily jie bought the Mickey for wayne already if not it'll be dear carrying Mickey and me carrying Minnie walking around Suntec. Quite a scene i thought it'll be.

Christmas Day. Day started at 9 with morning breakfast at Macdonald's. After which me, little sis and dear went to parkway parade cos dear had to settle his data plan while me and little sis went to shop around. I got myself 2 tops from mango and sis got herself a top from valerie. Happy gals we are. And then headed over to godma's to settle dad's car tyres and sis's car tyres. Hanged around till lunch time and had our lunch at this Thai restaurant along Katong. Not a bad place.

Finally done with uploading these photos. Started on 17th Dec and doing it batch by batch.Really tedious. Took a total of 1460 photos over the 8 days in Korea. Made them into collages in the hope of uploading lesser but in the end there's still 142 collages after carefully selecting the more impt ones. And I thought I better start finishing this post if not more outdated entries will start piling up. So there, our recent Korea trip, 28Nov to 5Dec. We started packing only on the morning of departure.

I fell aslp when I was supposed to be packing so dear was the one left packing. Went with 2 luggages but came back with 4. One's even as heavy as me!

Mum and sis sent us off. Had dinner at 翡翠.

We were quite early so hanged around.

On board Asiana Airlines at 1040pm. Bi Bim Bap for supper.

Arrived at 6 plus am. It's cold.

Our first stop, first activity - Sauna. More of staying ard to take pictures. Locals were slping in there and we made quite alot of noise.

Individual sauna holes.

The tour guide taught us to fold the towel. Those typically seen in Korean shows. Only for gals.

Done with Sauna.

Outside the Sauna place.

Our first meal in seoul. Toast and udon.

Site where they filmed 大长今。

Didn't follow the show at all so this place wasn't familiar at all.

Still took lots of pictures anyway.



My favourite! Spicy Rice Cake! Esp when it's steaming hot in this cold cold weather.

Steamboat for lunch.

Visiting the palace.


At the airport taking the domestic flight to Jeju Island.

Nice cheese sticks.

On board and reaching Jeju.

Our quite late dinner. Thankfully for Dunkin Donuts and Lotteria cheese sticks earlier.

T.H.E hotel for 2 nights. Provides rental of golf clubs and has a casino.

30th November

Getting ready for the day.

Abalone porridge for breakfast. Super yummy!











Submarine tour. Rare and good experience.






Couldn't resist the nice smelling roast squid they have on board.

Next stop: Tangerine plantation. They have really sweet tangerine which we can pluck and take them back.

Can't seem to remove them with the stem nicely.




Went horse riding!

Super fun!





Teddy Bear Mueseum was interesting.




The classic.


More lotteria cheesesticks and shake shake fries.

Dinner at Fear factor restaurant. Food raw and ALIVE! The abalone dear ate started moving when he applied wasabi on it!

Checked out the streets near our hotel and the casino since it's our last night there.

1 Dec. My favourite hotel international buffet breakfast.


Leaving Jeju and back to Seoul.

Everland. A themepark that may seem like Disneyland but definitely nowhere near Disneyland.



They have a safari inside. Quite cool.

Look at that rollercoaster track in the background.It's wooden and it's really quite exciting








Bi Bim Bap for dinner. Me loves!

One night stay at some resort.
2 Dec.
American breakfast provided by the resort.

Shots around the resort.

Cable car up some mountain.


It snowed the day before so there were residual snow on the ground.






Visited some temple.

National Park.


Collecting our skiing attire.

Traditional Korean home. I like. Very cosy. Ski Resort.

Went swimming.



Korean BBQ for dinner.

3 Dec.
Hotel Breakfast again. =) In Ski attire.

Cable car up to the top.

SNOW!





Preparing our gears and getting ready to ski!

We can ski! And I think i'm quite talented. Haha I didn't fall!

Skiing is really fun though very tiring.

And it really started snowing!!! REAL SNOW!! Aren't we lucky?


Very atas hotel for the last 2 nights.

Executive suite.
Very well provided.
Checking out the hotel. Lifts have seats.


Another themepark - Lotte World. Has both indoor and outdoor rides.


The best ride i've ever taken - Gyro Swing. Makes you feel helpless, scared but at the same time shiok.

4 Dec.

Visit the president.

Ginseng chicken soup. Chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice. Comes with mian xian.

Learning how to make Kimchi.
Donning their traditional costume.
Caught their apparently quite famous worldwide Nanta Show. Very entertaining.

The most unsatisfying dinner.

Free and Easy at Dong Dae Mun = shopping! More spicy rice cake to compensate for the unsatisfying dinner. Took a cab back to hotel but the cab brought us to the wrong hotel leaving us stranded, freezing and tired.

My loot that made up the luggage weighing the same as me. Etude House, Skinfood and Faceshop. 150 masks and others.
Last day. 5 Dec. The coldest day ever.
Breakfast was on a ship. Food was great!

Weather was really a little too cold cos of the strong wind.


Last min shopping and it snowed again!!!
And it was time to say goodbye.


On board and it was Bi Bim Bap for me again.

Marks the end of our holiday. Great trip. A very fruitful one.
