Annyeong Haseyo!

So tired after a long flight back home. But its nice to be back, why? school is going to start otherwise i don't mind staying for anther week or 2!

Day 1
Check in at Changi Airport for Flight TG 402 to Bangkok continuing TG628 to Seoul via Hong Kong. Total Flight Time was about 10 hours. There was a long queue at the airport, and we were the last few people to check in for the flight, thanks to my small cousin who is reluctant to get up! haha.. anyway, the seats assigned were spread out. For me, i was flying alone for the SIN-BKK sector, with a japanese guy who sleeps all the way and only wake up for meal and a Indian guy seating on the other side la. both know how to sleep. Amazing!

Flight TG402, aircraft registration HS-TJE

Well, 2 hours later we landed at Bangkok International Airport. Because mine is a window seat, i look out as we touch down, i saw a golf course in the middle of the 2 runways! Argh! haha... I got out of the plane first, waited at the gate for 10 mins before the rest of the gang got out! Bet they were looking for me in the plane! We hurried through the airport, looking which gate the next flight were and go through security screening. When we check out the next flight, it indicated that it will transit in hong kong! Only then we realise it! hahaha.... anyway, we board the plane and head to hong kong then to seoul. Service on this flight was much better than SIN-BKK flight.

2 and a half hours later, we found ourself in hong kong. Been there before, but was many years back. Checked out the new airport they have, it was HUGE!!! its the world largest! again, went through screening again and waited at the transit lounge. Airport Customer Service was rather average in hong kong.

Down to the final leg, HK-SEL, same flight, same flight attendent and same plane. 3 and a half hours later, touch down at Incheon International, hop on a taxi, illegal one i think, and zoom of to my uncle's house. Terrible communication breakdown with the driver, but we still manage to find our way there. hahaha! One hour journey from Airport to downtown Seoul. That is one day of travelling. Meals are serve onboard.

Day 2
Got up rather late, my two cousins living in korea were off to school and the rest were just lazing around. Finally we get our ass moving and off to Itewon, a toursit attraction equivalent to Singapore's Orchard Road. Its just walking distance from my uncle's house. Well before we leave the house, my uncle called from work telling us that it snowed at his workplace which is the other side of seoul. anway, light snow started to fall at my uncle's house, my first sighting of snow fall. Light snow fall now and then, off to Itewon for lunch, and then heavy snow fall! Wow!!! Awesome sight indeed! i was coverd in snow. The first snow fall in Seoul! To add on, I heard a brass ensemble playing outside baskin robbins! haha.. some chirstmas music, and i am totally surprise that they are able to play at 0 degC! Didn't hang out much and headed back home, the kids are whining away so the older ones stayed at home. Got a awful pain behind my ears, due to the cold temperature. Dinner was at a local korean restaurant? Looks sort of like our coffeeshops where you just pop in for a quick meal. Tried their Cal Bi (Beef) and my favourite Kimchi!

Temperature is around 0 degC.
