first day (21/12).
flight there was fine. around 6hrs? and i didnt sleep. i was too engrossed with the movies. the damn headphone was spoilt somehow, but i still survived. HA!
second day (22/12).
the first thing i did when i stepped out of the plane was shiver! crap. it was cold and my body has not adjust to the cold.
took a long bus ride to Everland; a theme park but way better and bigger than escape theme park. tour guide brought us around. went to the mini zoo there and stuff. woooooooo! then had lunch at Everland itself and had our own time to go around to catch the rides and stuff. i wasnt in the mood to go for the rides at that time cus i was tired and cold.
bus ride to some place for dinner. STEAMBOAT! eating steamboat in cold weather is just so shiok! then went to rent the ski stuff. then spend the night at phoenix park hotel; right beside the ski resort!
after putting down our things, our family went to FamilyMart(something like 7-11) to buy alcohol and snacks cus they wanted to warm themselves with alcohol. it snowed. i saw snow flakes! snacked and drank at the guys room then went back and sleep. tatami with 2 pillows for me! heh!
third day (23/12)
breakfast-ed and went for skiing at the resort right beside the hotel! snow was freaking thick. and our tour guide was nice enough to teach us the basics. i skiied until i was freaking tired. so i played snow and stuff. the photographer took many unglam pictures of me. -.-
i got presents from skiing. bruises! but skiing rocks to the core!
lunched somewhere near the ski resort and went for spa/hot spring! indoor and outdoor hot spring! woooh! then headed to another resort. the second resort was way colder than the one beside the ski resort, but there wasa ski resort nearby too. then dinnered. BBQ! but the food is already bbq-ed for us, so we just had to eat. after dinner, my dad was out of his mind. he wanted to take a walk before walking back to our rooms, but it was too cold already. it snowed too!
forth day (24/12).
eve of christmas!
breakfast-ed and photo taking! the place was very nice!
headed to mt. sorak park. took a cable car up and still had to walk. damn cold and snow was seriously freaking thick. hard to move around cus loads of people and the damn snow. then went to the temple for a walk. slippery! we were lucky as there wasnt any strong wind. if nt we might not be able to go up the mountain or even kena stuck there if we are up there.
had bibimbap for lunch. saw how the person made it. i was the representative of my family and went up to mix the food. damn funny. like "lo hei". HAHA!
then headed to another hotel. cool thing is that our rooms were all on the first floor! LOL. first time i see such a thing. then had dinner. seafood steamboat! heh heh heh~
then our tour guide bought 2 cakes to celebrate christmas for the whole group of us! and cakes is not cheap in korea and its christmas eve!
headed back to hotel and snacked and drank in the guys room again. watched a damn funny korean variety show. although its in korean, but body language can roughly tell what is it. smart eh? then went to bed. the room is like those typical korean drama house. interesting and also tatami style.
fifth day (25/12).
merry christmas!
had breakfast and went for ATV (snow mobil)! i was with my parents, so the driver didnt went that wild. my brothers joint another vehicle with 2 roughly same age guys. and my brother went "go! go! go!" so the driver went wild. rocks man!
had sulphur duck and their onion thingy for lunch. and our lovely guide bought fruits for the whole group! and fruits are expensive cus its winter season.
after that travelled to the ginseng farm and learnt about ginseng. drank ginseng milk! heh heh heh~ then went to kimchi school and made kimchi. fun and interesting! then wore their traditional costume. my big brother was pulled to dress the female one. damn funny!
went to a place in seoul where they show the houses of the people lived in the past. interesting, but my brother didnt took much pictures.
had ginseng chicken for dinner then went to hotel and sleep.
sixth day (26/12).
SHOPPING DAY!
went to some medicine shop which sells ginseng and cordeyceps. mum bought. omg. we are all in for it man. hope she doesnt force us to eat those pills.
had bbq for lunch. something like seoul garden.
went to the face shop! cheap like siao! way way waaaaay cheaper than s'pore! then went to a jewellery shop.
went to a duty free place which sells things made in korea only. bought loads of food. the shop provide free packaging, so they boxed up all our items. and apparently our family got the biggest box. lol.
then went to a fashion street; like bugis street. too cold to walk and all winter wear. i saw bags and wanted to buy though.. oh well. then went to a cafe for hot chocolate and cakes! chocolate fudge was great!
then we went to Lotte World; another theme park. we took the carousel (merry-go-round). they filmed "天国的阶梯" there okie! dont play play.
then headed back to hotel. our family went out to GS something; something like 7-11 also. 3 of us bought cup noodles for dinner while my parents went dont know where to eat. we were supposed to have dinner at Lotte World.
last day (27/12).
breakfast-ed on our own. slack around then steamboat for lunch. then off to the airport. the tour guide and photographer waited till all of us went in before they left. so sweet right?
met samantha at changi airport after arriving! woooh! she went to korea too! same flight and stuff, but we only met in changi airport when we arrived. cool or what?!
