The rest of my Korea Trip 2015

I'm back again for my Korea trip updates! Omg this is getting so overdue my memory is failing me already! I still have my Taiwan and KL trip I wanna talk about HAHA.

Third day of the trip and we're back to Seoul from the rural and mountainous areas! First stop of the day -> Everland!! I didn't have much expectations for it because I didn't read up on it before the trip and I was unaware of the rides available as well. In my imagination it'd just be like any other theme parks right!! But it really amazed me! (Except that it was a Saturday and there were loads and loads of people!)

third day's hotel breakfast was a lot better!!



traveling by cable car coz the theme park is huge!

omg so cute so cute so cute!!!

mommy and I among the pretty flowers!

trying on the cutesy hair accessories LOL

I love giraffes!!!

the whole place was just super nice!!!! plus the weather :-)

We only had a limited period of time inside so we didn't manage to take all the rides! Rushed for the animal safari coz the tour guide said we should definitely try it! While waiting in the queue we also went to get queue tickets for T-Express!!! So happy we got to try T-Express omg and we didn't queue for 1.5 hours coz that was the estimated waiting time...

hello t-express! I wanna ride you again!! IT WAS SUPER FUN!!!!



super duper humongous bear omg 


lol he was begging for food super funny wtf

act chio shot with the head band meant for my sis lol
by then my skin was already peeling like mad thanks to the weather sobs


Line store! everything was cutesy inside!!

so glad we met this cute family in the tour! :-)

We left in the late afternoon coz we had to rush to other places :-( If I have the chance to pop by again I definitely would! Bye Everland you've been superb!!

super dope korean bbq for lunch (thanks tour guide for arranging this!)

Arrived at this super pretty place to board a cruise ship! It was a huge park where people were having picnics and cycling! I wish Singapore had a place like that too!


bread making session!

dope lunch at Incheon Airport!

and it's goodbye for real!!!

It has been a really good trip considering my low tolerance for tour groups! But I really enjoyed myself thoroughly this time round. So recommend everyone to visit South Korea in April when the weather is perfect and there are loads of pretty cherry blossom trees to see! :-)

Hey South Korea, I hope to visit you again, preferably in winter! Woohoo!!

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!
