Trip to South Korea!
I went there with Mummy, Aunt and Aunt's friend, Auntie Sandy.
We joined CHAN BROTHERS tour group to Korea.
(DAY 0)
We're in the F Group!
Auntie Sandy called ourselves the F4. HAHA.
We met up with our Singapore Tour leader, Peter Nah,at Changi Airport.
Air ticket!
Waiting for our turn to check in our luggage.
I drank a small cup of wine, WOOO~ so nice. hahas.
In the toilet before we board onto the plane.
On the plane, Asiana Airline (:
Mummy and I (:
I had this super duper heavy supper on plane, around 12am.

The start of my grow-fat holiday trip. HAHA.
(DAY 1)
We reached Incheon Int. Airport around 6am.
Gathering everyone,
Peter Nah's waving,
Xiao qu's 'taking attendance',
Kingkong's looking around.
HAHA.
Had our breakfast at the airport.
Breakfast was on our own.
We end up eating super expensive breakfast for the first day.
Mummy spent around 30+ SGD just for our breakfast. LOL.
Immediately after we step out of the airport,
and when i started talking, there's "smoke" coming out from my mouth.
It's cooling there! No, I should say it's COLD there.
niceeeee (:
We took a long ride before we reached our first station,
EVERLAND.
It's a wonderland in Korea! SO SO SO Beautiful there.
Lots to see and lots to play!
We took the skyride to the other side of Everland.
ZOOTOPIO!
We off to watch the Liger (:
The animals inside are all walking around freely.
We took a bus ride in, and these animals are walking just side by side with the bus,
without any fence, so cool.
(Look at these animals with a different point of view, and you'll find them interesting.
Think of them as animals living in Korea! do they look interesting now? hahas.)
tiger.
zebra.
giraffe.
Liger!
bear.
3D Effect show!
lunch at Everland.
Everyone got a meal coupon.
I got myself a pork chop rice. Yummm.
I ate the first Kimchi in Korea.
After that we ate Kimchi almost every meal, for 7 days.
It's tasty with rice! (:
Aunt and I.
Mummy and I.
Yeah, Giraffe (:
KIMCHI! (This is what they say when they taking photos. hahas. CUTE.)
Eating Ice-cream in cold weather,
that feels so 'shiok'. LOL.
There's lots of students in Everland,
i thought of taking a picture with one of them,
and this guy so happen to walk pass, so i asked him to take a pic with me!
hehes.
Beautiful flowers planted!
They're really colourful.
'F4' = 4 ladies from Group F.
After we left Everland, we went to the HERITAGE PARK.
On our way there, when everyone's on bus,
our tour guide 小曲，damn cute，
cos most of the people were sleeping on bus after 7 hours of air ride,
he said: "上车睡觉，小车尿尿。" LOL
So rhyme.
Heritage Park:
It's cooling there, it's windy there, it's refreshing up there.
I only realise there's a window in the cubicle after I finish using it.
So sexy huh. LOL.
LIM!
Sadly I cannot find mine, there's not enough time for me to look for it.

Mummy's so blur.
She stick the Warm-pack directly onto my skin, LOL.
She thought that's the way how it is used to keep the body warm,
but in fact we should stick it on the shirt -.-
IT'S SO PAINFUL WHEN I PULL IT OUT FROM MY SKIN. HAHAHA.

We went fruit farm after we check out from MUJU Hotel.

That day was the most strawberry I ate! hehheh.
我们边拔边吃，亲自拔哦，然后再亲手把它们送入嘴里。哈哈。

It's quite cold over there in South Korea,

城山日出峰
海女,
they dive to earn for a living.
The oldest age of a 海女 can get to 80+ years old!
Jeju Oranges.
A.T.V 四轮车;
Initially Xiao Qu did remind us not to press on the engine too hard,
cos it'll cause the 4-wheel bike to move on at a high speed.
When i was on the 4-w bike, i started by pressing a bit,
but it doesn't seem to be moving ):
So I pressed harder, and... THE BIKE FLEW OFF.
Gosh, then they second time i tried to start the bike, I banged into another bike.
I am told to wait at a side.
Then this cute Korean guy came sitting behind me after everyone left.
I guess he's in-charge of driving me around on the bike, in case I knock onto anyone or flying off my seat. lols.
Everyone took the same route, all the slopes we quite gentle,
but that guy brought me to another route, with all the steep slopes,
we went flying up and down, doing stunts.
DAMN FUN. hahas!
Although I wasn't able to drive on my own,
but i got to enjoy all the 快感and刺激 of the bike flying all over the place
(erhem, and with a cute guy!) LOLS.
还真的是塞翁失马，焉知非福!
He's the one (:
Lunch;
I always drool when i watch Korean dramas, especially when they're eating,
and now i got a chance to taste it myself. WEEHEE.
you've got to put everything into your mouth at one go,
cos the sauce will drip out any moment! hahas.
This is where 大长今filmed their show.
Trying to ask our way out.
But there seems to be a communication break-down. hahas.
(there's cute guys in korea!lol.)
TEDDY BEAR MUSEUM;
titanic, so cool right?
this bear is a clarinetist!
world most expensive bear. BRANDED.
bear bear 的兵马俑
MYSTERIOUS ROAD;
顾名思义, it's mysterious. LOL.
This is a up-hill slope, but when any vehicle is on this slope, without starting it's engine,
that vehicle will automatically go up-hill !
we were on the bus and the driver stopped the bus engine,
the bus really move upwards by itself !

Different building is used for different purposes.
It's interesting! (:

the net on the roof top is used to trap birds and snakes.
ticket in.
龙头
我觉得这个地面的来源还蛮有趣的。
在皇宫里的其他地区的地面和在勤政殿外的地面是不一样的。
其他地区的地面扑满了沙子，
但在勤政殿外的地面是用大块的石头扑成的，凹凸不平。
着是因为他们要那些路过勤政殿的人，都低着头，小心的走，
而不是高高的台起头仰望勤政殿。
勤政殿和龙头。
东大门＋街边小吃；(Dongdaemun)
Shopping time!

We got a complimentary bag after buying over 500,000 won worth of things.
damn scary, mummy and aunt bought them like nobody's business. HAHA.
but cos it's cheaper there, so everyone was grabbing.
we went shopping again!
Mummy's so attracted by this.

The taste is quite different from what we eat in Singapore.
(Maybe cos I'm in Korea, got the different atmosphere, the taste got better. hahas.)
