It'll be kinda nuts to blog day by day about my Korea trip, so I'll just type briefly about Korea : My impression before and after the trip.
One thing's for sure, Korea's a SHOPPING HEAVEN! I'm not kidding yo.
Myeong-Dong is lovely for shopping. It's definitely the place to update your winter closet!
You get to buy lovely clothings at a really affordable price. That, you'll never get in S'pore!
Imagine having bought so many things during winter, what will happen if I were there during summer or even spring? Shopping will be OH-SO-AWESOME!!
Well, Korea's also an ideal place to spend X'mas. There was this super cool Ice-skating ring outside the crew hotel we stayed in for the first 2 nights, before meeting up with my relatives for the tour. There was this super huge X'mas tree and a really hip place for you to countdown. People were already wishing us Merry X'mas way before the actual date itself. HOW COOL YEA? It's so much better than our Orchard Road.
It snowed on X'mas day itself, when we were skiing. The view was really scenaric, totally awesome! You'll definitely wish time would stop at that moment, i kid you not!
And, Jeju would be romantic if you'd gone during summer. Its more for honey-mooners luh. Haha.
Okay, in short. Korea is pretty much similar to Japan. The housings and buildings looks so alike! Their sense of dressing is pretty similar as well. But I'll have to admit that Japan has a much efficient transport system than Korea. JR Rail in Japan can link you up to all parts of Japan. You can't do that in Korea. Those sights in korea requires you to join their local tours. So yea, Japan beats Korea in that no doubt. Food wise, Japan probably leads as well. Its Kimchi all day in korea, so if you're not used to it.. THATS IT! Hahaha, but it's not bad to me. '
Well, Korea definitely leads in their K-dramas! ( thumbs up for that! ), and Korean actors are a million times more handsome than Jap actors. My Kwon Sang Woo's definitely a great example! HAHAHAH.
Alright, enough of all the korea-japan talks. Just know that, the actual spelling for Korea is COREA. Long story behind it.
ANW, it was quite upsetting that I couldnt meet Joyce junior before i departed for Korea - diff terminals.
& I have been really careless this trip. First, my wallet dropped out of my bag in my study room. CRAP! There goes my Korean won. Thankfully, mommy paid for everything luh. So those money that i didn't spend goes into my pocket. LALALA.
Secondly, I lost my hp in Korea. Jeju island's hotel i guess. Sigh, so please to text me till i get my phone tmr i hope.
Thirdly, i keep dropping things. I'd even drop my camera casing while taking the open-air ride thats transport you frm the upper ground of EVERLAND to the lower ground!
Despite all these, Korea's still not bad. It's like what you see in the dramas. Esp the Han River! Where ppl cry their hearts out after a heartbreak. LOLS.
And did i mention, our photographer 'J' was really cute, and helpful. He took really beautiful pictures for us. Gawd, I'll miss him! HAHAHAAH
