Hahha. Just came back from Korea. Quite excellent trip with the tour guide jie jie and the photographer along. Being such nice local people to guide us along through the days in Korea. Firstly, will briefly say the stuff that i did there daily and the places that i visited in the week there. In total, the group had 4 families of 19 people, quite a small group in the sense but they are freaking nice and friendly people around.

day 1 :
Basically, day 1 is to go to the airport to take the flight of Korean Air to Korea. The flight is at about 11pm and the duration to Korea is 5 hours plus. Saw Shao ting at the same counter of checked in and of course on the same flight too. Hahha. Freaking coincidence to see her there.

day 2 :
Arrived at Seoul International Airport in the morning about 6 in their local time which is a hour earlier than ours in Singapore. In the following days of time would all be in their local time. Met our tour guide after getting our stuff. Her name is Huang Hui Jin, a local Korean but freaking good in Mandarin. Reason for that is because she had being in China and Taiwan for 7 and 1 years respectively. Hahha. Thought that she is a China local at the first sight. Left the airport and headed to the first destination, Gyeongbokgung Palace. Its the place of living of the Joseon Dynasty ( 1392 - 1910 ). Its similar to the palace in China as Korea in the past was also a part of the China area. Met a few groups of Japanese students there too. Think they were on their graduation trip. Freaking cool to have things like the graduation trip. Then, went for lunch of BBQ pork, one of the favourite dishes in Korea. Headed to Dongdaemun Markets & Shopping Malls. Freaking in rush as the tour guide said that there would be strikes around. Therefore, didn't really shopped much too. Towards the Airport again, Domestic Airport to fly to Jeju Island. Time of a hour from Seoul to Jeju Island. Visited the Yongduam Rock, a rock that look like the head of a dragon. Saw the protection god OF Jeju too. Story that touching of different parts of the god stand meaning wanting different blessings from him. Example by touching his head is to wish for better thinking ability. Following is the mysterious road which would play tricks to your bare eyes. Using your eyes to see it would be a upward slope but actually its a downwards slope with only 3 degrees in difference. Having mushroom hotpot for dinner and travel towards hotel.
