K-O-R-E-A!

Hey yall! I'm finally back from Korea! Well, I came back yesterday but, heh. I was really tired and had to turn in early for my CCA meeting which was today. What a good timing indeed. Anyhoo, this here post is about my totally awesome trip to Korea! What I can remember from it of course. ;D
It was a eight day 6 nights trip in Korea and I almost became broke after it. The first day had no time for us to settle down AT ALL! The moment we touched down in Korea, we were told to get something light(food of course) before we set off to our first stop, hai3 ou1 chuan2, a direct translation would be seagull boat. Well, it's so not a boat shaped like a seagull (if that's what you thought of). It was freezing outside, literally. We got onto this ship(oh what a day to wear a pair of boots!) and got to see tonnes of seagulls circling the ship/area. We had loads of fun feeding the seagulls and (no doubt about it) I took quite a number of pictures. :)
Well, that was the main highlight of that day. Hmm, I guess I can't really remember much so I'll just type out what I can remember as I go along. I remember we did shop for an hour(pathetic, I know) at ladies street. It got its name as along that street it sells clothes, accessories, shoes for ladies only. :D Awesome-ness, no? I bought a skirt, two pairs of stockings/leggings(black and dark blue), a silver hair band and a gray turtle neck. Not too bad for an hour.
Hmm, then we had lunch and stuff and then we flew to jeju island, our pitstop for the day. The hotel wasn't up to my standards. I mean, being a four star hotel, it should have a better toilet, no? anyways, my stay there was not enjoyable at all. I hated it when I had to shower in there. Yes, I took a lot of photos too.
erm, the following day we had bao1 yu3 zhou1. We felt kind of cheated as there was only a tiny piece of bao1 yu3 in the zhou1. ): Yeah. Er, then then then then. ):
OH! The seafood market! :D Yes, we tried raw sole fish and squid. Apparently, the squid struggled for it's life when the lady picked it up. )': I wanted to take a video of it but by the time i changed the mode, the lady had already killed and sashimi-fied all three squids. -,-
Shopping was fun on the first day! I bought myself a pair of brown boots that costs $40++. :) Yay, cause the sole of my black pair of boots came off when we were sight-seeing in the afternoon. D:
took more pictures and er yeah. Dinner for that day was delicious! But spicy. ): The second hotel we booked into was awesome :D It was a little traditional and we had a wonderful view of the mountains and stuff. Unfortunately, I was too busy listening to DBSK( miriotic album) that I missed the part whereby I could had actually slept in my own room. The thick blanket and pillows were in the cupboard that I was so reluctant to open thanks to all the horror stuff. D:
Oh, Mt sorak was on the next day. I took tonnes of photos, maybe some random ones here and there just because I love the digi cam too much. It has awesome functions. A 10.1 mp cam with a 5x zoom. :D Since it was late atumn and stuff, the photos that I took were mostly trees and stuff. Of course, not to forget the mountains. :) I almost made it to the top of mt sorak but my mother said to stop as she said that it was too dangerous. More pictures! XD
Erm, we checked out of that hotel and then. er. D: We went to the temple cause 4 out of the 14 people in the group wanted to, so we had no choice but to follow. Instead of going into the temple, we actually went up the steep hill,(I picked up more maple leaves) and took more pictures. ;D
OKAY, LETS JUST SKIP TO EVERLAND THEMEPARK.
Everland themepark is said to be the biggest themepark, or one of the biggest in then WORLD! It would have been a blast if only we came on weekdays instead of a saturday. The place was totally packed and the min time that we had to wait for a ride was about 40-50 mins. OH! They have a very big viking ship. :D And extreme cups and viking too~ 한, all in all, I sat only one pathetic ride in five hours. At least I got myself a lil something from there.
AJAA~
HWAITING! :D
The third hotel is the best of all! A five star hotel. Love their toilets :D Sad thing is, we only stayed there for one night and for one night only. They actually give us a small bottle of CHANEL shampoo and body soap! XD The last two days were spent in a good hotel too. :D Though I still love the previous hotel's toilet.
The last few days was spent on a lil sight-seeing in the morning followed by shopping. The faceshop product are hella cheap! :D 한, cheaper than Singapore that is. Got myself a set. ;D Though, on the day that we had to leave, there was only an hour for shopping and I got kind f pissed off when I didn't get to finish my shopping list. ): We got sweet and seaweed for yall! BE HAPPY, OKAY! WE SPENT OUR LAST ONE HOUR(whihc was actually meant for shopping) TO BUY THEM. >,<
Hmm, overall...
I love the weather, even though it can be a lil too cold at times. BUT! I so totally fell in love with the view!
Oh, and in total, I SAW FOUR HOTTIES. :D One at the garden area at some er, place. Performing! :D His side profile is uber cute ;D ( I took a picture(s) of his side profile and my dad took a picture of him. Too shy to stand with him.). The thing is, he smokes. ): Oh 한, his looks makes up for that. XD
Two of them at the themepark, both were attached(I took a picture of one of them secretly :D). Sad. The one near the shopping mall, SINGLE AND LOOKING GOOD! :D He was walking with his buddy and I was practically just staring at him, and he stared back. ^^" I saw two not so bad looking ones too. One at the themepark and one near the shopping mall. The one that I saw at the shopping mall smokes too. ): He's a staff though. He came out quite a couple of times to smoke. sad.
한, no wonder Korea has so many 'say no to smoking' ads. Adorable ones too! Speaking of ads, I saw one of the WG's ad! They were promoting some orange flavoured drink. ^^" And they look so adorable, and of course, PRETTY!
Ah! Almost forgot. I bought socks, gloves and a thin belt too! Pink striped ankle socks, black and gray striped knee-high socks and a pale pink belt. Though, I should have bought the orange one. Oh well, what is done, is done. (:
YAY. LOVE KOREA, LOVE KOREAN. LOVE HOT KOREAN GUYS. :D
환호,당신은 당신이 저를 사랑한ㄴ다는 것을 알고 있다, XOXO, Lyna
idk. Last thing to add. The flight back to S'pore was the worst EVER. Turbulence is understandable, but the landing was unforgivable and unforgettable(ahh~ love that song!). The plane bounced and skidded. D: I got motion sickness and a REALLY BAD HEADACHE TO THE POINT THAT I ONLY ATE TWO SMALL PORTIONS OF COLD SOBA(which was really delicous!) AND MY EARS HURT LIKE HELL. D:
HEY! DON'T BRING ME DOWN!
Labels: Korean is awesome and so is KOREA.
