and here we board this giant cable car which took us to very great heights. all the way to the top of this mountain. scaryy stuffs. (damn the blurness. the guy in the photo is a pretty cute korean cable car attendant.)
korea has almost all the restaurants we have. kfc, macs, bk, coffeebean, dunkin donuts blah blah. at kfc, they still serve Twister! and they dont have chili sauce packets anywhere in the country i think, only tomato sauce. booo. wilson will like it though. heh. 
apparently this street was used to film some scenes in winter sonata, and so there were handprints of the leads. they do that a lot in korea, (make film sets into tourist attractions)pretty alert of all the korean hype asia-wide eh. 
and this restaurant vows to make all customers look freaking stupid before they settle for their hot stirfried meat and rice. 
ohh. the pained expressions on all our faces. the orange apron's making us all depressed. 
if it was autumn, the leaves wouldnt be green but red. once again, this is some scene of some korean show. 
stir fried cabbage might not look very appetising. but actually, korean vegetables are really sweeet, and im so used to eating bucketloads of vegetables every meal, i found it hard to digest my meesiam for today's breakfast. 
there was this totally hot korean couple who started taking photos like this, balancing on the log. and yar. er. we copied.
and again. my father's funnyy.
ahhh. my new converse shoes. not as clownish as i thought they would be. footsteps in the snow sounds like, kerraacsh. kerrasch.
ive entered a new level of magic, where im able to make bouts of snow spin in front of me.
and on the boat back, the two of them just kept yakking yakking about maplestory, ran online, blah blahhhhh. yak yak yakkety yakk. what's a girl got to do.
that's our entire tour group! very small number.. for once, i'll like to join a tour group where i actually make some friend who i'll still keep in contact when we're all back in singapore.
at least chang jing looks like she's looking at the camera.
i think my father looks a bit like zhang zai he here. no? whoopps. hehh.
im in the jail cell too! wooo! chang jing and han shang gong have touched the exact same tarmac im stepping on right now! woooo!
my friends, i am bringing back the presents from korea for you all. but it was all too big(plus stolen), and the extra baggage fee was too much. so i had the plane dropped it all. sorry my friends.
and the parents pose, with the snowy hut and all. all these modern clothing was so outta place.
everyone was a bit tipsy as we yamsenged our wine-ginseng chicken. look at my ahgong's beet-red face!
my bro looks muchhh better without the harry potter eyewear. this is before the totally rude display to our guide by us.
my cousin's and brother's hard work. 2 round snowballs. now ive learnt how to make them!! you got to compress the snow long enough for the shape to stay.
we're running back to singapore! thud thud goes the shoes on the snow.
mommy! on Nu Ren Jie. this shopping street was near to some rich girls' schools and so almost everything was girly girly girly.
ahhh. christmas decorations!! actually there's a big stage being set up beside me that's supposed to have teenagers come up and perform. it's a tradition every weekend.
the roasted ginseng chicken we brought back to our hotel room! along with roasted sweet potatoes, baked pastries and bananas. wadafeast!
the last hotel we stayed in was uber-cool! there was a sauna with six water jets in one room and a whirlpool jacuzzi in the other.
AND there was a vending machine in each room. HOW COOL IS THAT?? it sold everything, from roasted butter squid, to erm. glow-in-the-dark condoms. (im not making it up.)
this was the last shopping stop all tour groups made before going to the airport. and so everyone felt obliged to bring awayy as many korean goods as possible, hence the need to box up everything. we were freezing there. because it was still in the negative tens, but our winter coats were all boxed up since we wouldnt be needing them in the airplane. BRrrr.
final shot in Seoul Airport.
wooohh. 3:26AM! mighty tiring entry to make, especially since internet explorer hung halfway, and i had to redo. drats. but its all done!! :) with the truckload of photos, the money spent seems worth it now.
