Annyeong Haseyo 2

Took me a long time to update on my trip to korea. Busy with school stuffs during the first week, school was pretty fun but stressful for me now. ICT Christmas bash is just round the corner, so we are in the mist of preparing that event.

Day 3
Everland, korea's largest outdoor theme park is the place we went. All got up early and prep up for a day's of fun. My uncle arranged transport for us, a tour guide and a driver. Reach there early with all my young cousins excited about this trip. All were sing and laughing away. Everland is basically a korean version of disneyland that you will find in USA, so they have all the animals for young kids and rides for the older ones and other stuffs for the even older ones. So at everland, we took a safari ride which is one of the attractions in there, a bus will take you up close with the lions, tiger, liger( cross breed of tiger and lion) and bears. The bears are the cute ones, all sitting around waiting for the bus driver to feed them. They even had a street parade, based on christmas as the theme. Well, its a day more for the kids.

Day 4
Skiing!!!! This is the day i have long waited for. Itching to ski for 4 years and i finally get to do it again. Haha... 2 and a half hour ride to the ski resort, again arranged for the same tour guide and driver. i snooze on the way there, and looking at the video my uncle recorded, he actually took a video of me snoozing away. Lolz! Wee... took my ski equipment and headed for the snow. Lost touch, plus the snow was not in a favourable condition, they were kinda old so basically u were skiing on ice instead of snow. Fun! can't wait to do it again. Perhaps skiing lessons at snow city first... hmmm...

Day 5 - 9
Shopping time, went to 2 famous area for shopping. Namdaemum market and Dongdaemum. Namdaemum market is something like what you will find in chinatown during CNY. Lots of wholesale activities going on, mainly fashion. Dongdaemum is more of a shopping mall, it caters to local and tourist. Clothes at dongdaemum are fashionable and trendy. Basically, if you are looking for clothes for yourself or to set up a business, these two places are the best place to go. Anyway, we shop mostly at night, i mean mid night when the kids are asleep so we sneak out of the house. Hahaha.. its was fun. Dongdaemum actually doesn't sleep! Besides shopping, did a little sight seeing. But one of the days were disrupted by a DEMOSTRATION! so we decided to cut short it. didn't get to see it, but get to hear it, even though we were quite far from it.

During these few days also have to endure my cousins fighting and whinning and crying. Haha.. it will be my last trip with the elder cousin among that bunch.

My flight TG 629 from Seoul to Bangkok was very pleasent. Except for the rude customer service people at hong kong. There were not from Thai, its their airport staff. Surprising is the aircraft used was the same one that i took from SIN - BKK. Registration HS-TJE

TG421, BKK - SIN. Was much less enjoyable, mainly because the flight is filled up with singaporeans. aircraft used was pretty old too... Registration HS-TAF. The flight made me feel like i was flying budget. Hahaha... anyway, that about all i would want to say. It could be longer, but i decided to cut it short.

My reflections, very enjoyable trip, manage to learn some basic korean words good enough to communicate to get my way around. Had lots of fun and made my passion for travelling and flying stronger! Going solo the next time round!

Korea, i will be back soon!
Gamsahamnida! (Thank You)
