Korea Trip 2015 (Day 2)

I am back with a new blog layout! Even simpler than the previous one omg am I really getting old and boring? (Yes I think so)

So continuing from my previous entry...

We woke up pretty early because we were on a tour and I was quite sleepy(zzz). Headed down to the breakfast place and horrible food greeted us omg. I guess we didn't really like it because it was quite different from SG style or rather typical hotel style? It was just (yuck). The variety was also bad and there were ZERO hot drinks. No coffee or tea....... only plain water and milk....

rice.. kimchi.. cabbage.. rice.. soup.. more rice..

First stop of the day: Teddy Bear Museum! Anyway I always thought only Jeju Island has this teddy bear thingy but apparently not! And our tour guide told us that this one was actually the first and original one in South Korea! I choose to trust her by the way (lol).

the whole place is not very big but everything was just cute inside!

omg look at them with the Korean costumes (SO CUTE)

my selfie attempts again

qtpie Abigail!! (I miss her so much sobs)


so cute so cute so cute I want to hug her rn

cuzzies! (lol had a hard time squeezing inside)

me mommy and ling!

so pretty!

hello qtpie!

master of poses a.k.a me celebrating my bday L O L

The tour guide brought us to some seafood market place after that (which I don't even know is some impromptu plan or we're really supposed to be there coz it was a super not touristy spot).

and we spotted this poor crab lol




my daily want - BANANA MILK!!!!!

really not touristy at all ah...

And up we went to Mt. Sorak~! Some touristy temple place but with super nice scenery! The whole place is pretty huge though so you gotta walk quite a bit and it's uphill. A plus point though was we went during spring and the weather was really cooling because I can't imagine climbing all these under the hot sun (ew).





so you pick a stone on the floor, make a wish and balance it on top of any of these...

group shot! (with abigail asleep lol)



we then climbed up some stairs for this great great view


climbing yet another set of steep stairs to see...

this

and it was back to our hotel! (omg it was like a 3 hours ride up the mountain and I needed to pee real badly cries)

dinner time!!! :-)

mushroom hotpot! super nice tho there wasn't much meat and we were deprived :-(

I super love!

At night my cousins and I went to the hotel hotspring and we had to strip naked (omg huge barrier over here) but we decided to do it anyway with my mom staying in the hotel room herself hahaha.

It was a great experience though because once you're inside nobody really cares anymore and no one will be staring at you, people (mostly ajummas) just wanna relax!

The eye-opener was that the ajummas were so dedicated to scrubbing their bodies.. and they all had really nice complexion! When we were washing up before stepping into the hotspring, we got scolded by them for not scrubbing enough, omg embarrassing much lol.

Anyway the hot spring water was sooo comfortable I really wanna experience that right now again. Everyone should just go try it at least once(even if you're super shy to strip naked)!!

And that marked the end of Day 2!! Bye!
