KoReA Trip ~Day One to Three~

Its time for another trip again!

And this time it's Korea... Initially wanted to go Taiwan to 吃喝玩乐, but then all those who are interested are girls so its not very safe to go 'free n easy'... Hence we decided to go Korea instead!

Package costed us SGD$1421 incl. tax. Compulsory tips amts to USD$40. Package did not cover some meals and some theme park rides and hence costed more than expected in total. Things there are also quite ex, so if anyone is intending to go Korea, remember to bring more $$$!
Ok so here goes the trip details and lotsa photos...
**************** 31st Oct 07 ~ 7th Nov 07 ***************
Day One
We departed for Seoul at 1055pm!~
No photos coz its juz slping on the airplane.

Day Two
We arrived at Incheon International Airport in the morning. After washing up, we proceed to visit Kyongbok Palace and National Folk Museum in Seoul.

Nth much very interesting here so there's not much nice pics to show. =)
Next up we depart from Gimpo International Airport to Jeju Island situated at the southern most part of Korea. Well, I muz say that it's a misconception that southern part would not be so cold. The winds there are so strong that it simply penetrates the clothes~ Brrr...First we visits the mysterious road.. which looked just like an ordinary road. But your vehicle is able to travel uphill by itself without motor power~ Legend says that it may be the work of some 'mysterious' power but it may well be some optical illusion deceiving us.

After getting mysterified, we goes the the seaside to view the Yongduam Dragon Rock (龙头岩). As the name suggests, the rock is supposed to look like the dragon’s head.
*Can see the ‘dragon head’ in the background?
This is one of the places that I enjoyed, coz of the magnificent waves!
Ah here u see the ‘土地公’ statue~ Our tour guide told us that those who wish to give birth to boys shld go touch the 土地公’s nose. Don’t ask me why muz be the nose but the tour guide says muz walk to the back of the statue to look then will understand. (Shall 卖关子 here… Find out the answer if you go Jeju one day~) Oh one peculiar sight is that u can see the 土地公 statues and figurines everywhere in Jeju!

Lastly we went to the underground shopping street called ‘Jungang Underground Shopping Centre’. Din buy anything there coz lazy to bring the stuff all the way back to Seoul.

Day Three
*Nice view taken at our hotel early in the morning
Day three is still spent in Jeju, places visited includes
1. Chonjiyeon waterfall (仙女桥)
*Picture of the 仙女桥
*The waterfall is seen after walking down a long flight of steps
2. Holland Village (Filming location for Korean Drama ‘All-In’)
*This is the bench that the main actors sat on… Erm but I dun remember their names.. =P
Oh while exploring around the place we discovered a beach hidden all the way down below the cliff! But we only have 40 mins. So we began a mad dash down the tedious flights of steps coz since we’re only here once, muz grab the chance to see the nice beach! Ah but realli not enuff time to spare, so the three of us only reached thus far~ Wat a waste… But at least we got a nearer view.

3. Teddy Bear Museum
Simply cute bears here~ They have all sorts of teddies dressed in all sorts of costumes in all shapes n sizes! A Teddy bear heaven for teddy lovers =D
*My personal favourite
*Ee Ling’s Choice
*Helping out at Teddy’s Store
*The most expensive LV bear
*Climbing tree wif frenly Black Bear
*Joining in Teddy’s Party
4. Songup Folk Village
This is one of the filming location for Da Chang Jing.
We took one photo wif one of the actors in the show~ SPOT HER!
5. Mandarin orange plantation
Lots of oranges here, can pluck and eat them fresh from the trees~ Yum yum…
6. Songsan Sunrise Peak
20 mins climb to reach the top of this volcano crater. But it’s all worth the exercise! Of coz its beri cold up there too~ Coz of the wind…
The view is too nice for the camera to capture the beauty (Needs panoramic lens.. Ha)
*One edge of the crater
