back home~!! startin to miss the weather.. the shopping.. the sightseeings.. the place!! s.g is so hot! the weather over there was so cold n nice.. n in s.eo.ul itself.. when the weather is gd.. it's quite sunny n hot but with coolin wind! i love the wind!haha.
overall, the trip was great.. did some last min crazy shoppin but the tings were generally quite expensive. the bad weather on the 2nd day almost spoilt our entire trip n my indig,estions/stomachache on the 3rd nite almost spoilt my trip too! tink i gave minz a bad fright too.. coz i juz couldnt stop vomittin watever meals i had earlier n watever med that went in. there werent any docs ard coz it was a sun.day.. almost went to a.n.e but thnk goodness.. i recovered the next day n we could haf some fun in e.ve.r.lan.d!=)
poor b.y.j. n cj.w for always having 2 big lightbul.bs with them!haha0k.. gona do day-to-day account of the trip.. be prepared.. it's gona be looong~!=)
DAY 1
took a 1am flight to i.nch.e0n int ai.rport.. couldnt slp on the p.l.ane at all.. n we managed to see the sun rise on the pl.anE!! chao chao pretty! dawn breakin~!
DAY 2
Reached inch.e0.n int air.po.rt at abt 7+am.
found our to.ur gu.ide n saw our tou.r mem for the first time. realli small grp..only 14 of us.. n it was gd.. but the only bad thing was the bus! it was lyk our size.. small.. juz nice.. n the trip was freakin bumpy!! for abt 4 days.. when we were not in j.eju.. our bus was that.. so no matter how slpy i was on the bus.. i couldnt realli slp properly.. i would either end up slidin down my seat or juz get "bumped" awake! damn irritatin n uncomfortable.
ok.. back to day 2.. was suppose to go to j.eju.. but th.ey switched the itinery ard.. n so we ended up in se.0ul for the first day..
first stop was ki.mchi school~! made ki.mch.is n wore han.b0ks.
this is so colorful!
d.j..g lookalikes?nxt stop was shoppin time! ahha. damn fast eh. haven start sightseeing.. n we are already at the shoppin stops~ first shoppin destination was d0ng.da.emun!! next was my.e0ngd0.ng n na.m.daemu.n. as usual i love mye0.ng more than dong.dae! coz dong is too ex.. we saw so many nice stuffs especialli earrings!! but th.ey are all so freakin ex! my.e0ng was super crowded that day.. sometimes it felt lyk we were being pushed to move instead of us walkin by ourselves.haha. gg into the shops to shop was lyk gg into some crazy batt.le fi.el.ds! but.. it was fun! haha. spend realli a b.9om.b at tfs! as if the products are free.. juz grab n plc it into the baskets=). din shop at nam.d.ae at all.. coz there wasnt any time n it was supposedly a plc meant for ahj.u.m.mas more than us.
our hotel that nite was super gd! small.. but the facilites were wow. minz n i juz couldnt stop wow-ing at the things they haf.. a super big t.v.. nice bath.tu.b with those jet or duno wat u call those stuffs.. n we love the bedrm lite.. too bad it was only one nite over there n we were too tired to go for some nite shoppin.
That's my t.v~Day 3.
it was rainin.. n so it was freezin cold. went to ch.e90ng.w.a.d.ae to take some pics. n proceeded to gi.m.p0 dom airp.0rt for a flight to je.ju..but our flight was cancelled coz of the bad wea.ther.. there was strong wind over at jj n the other flights b4 n after us were oso cancelled.
so in the end.. we juz had to wait ard at the airport to see whether we could even get a flight in the late afternn.. we almost couldnt get it n they were considerin switchin the itinery ard again.. means we would haf to travel to e.ve.rland first instead of jj.. but the only bad ting abt this was coz if it rained in se.oul means the other parts of kor would oso be rainin.. n even if we go to eve.r.land.. it would still be rainin n we wouldnt be able to enjoy ourselves.
was quite disappointed but luckily.. in the end.. the weather cleared up over there n we managed to get a 3.30pm flight!yay!! so we juz loitered ard the airport till that time.
while waitin.. smth interestin happened.. n i had to realli make use of my minimal kore.an!haha. we were juz sittin there when this kor lady tapped my shoulder.. she spoke in korea.n la.. n frm it.. i guess she was askin me whether i was ko.re.an.(do i realli looked lyk?!). i juz shook my head.. but she continued askin.. somehow i managed to catch it n so i replied s.p0.re. tinkin that i understand kore.an.. she proceeded to ask more!-____-". cant rem wat she asked le.. but i noe it came to a pt where i couldnt understd a single thing at all.. n i was lyk lookin at acie n pei for help.. but the best thing was.. they were both juz lookin at me with that " wat did she juz said" look-____-". bo bian.. we juz lyk smile n shook our heads.. show a "i dun understd u" look.. but she juz continued tryin. even passed me a bk n ask me to read.. since she asked me to read the word out.. i juz read la.. but i dun understd wat i read ma.. n i tink she assumed or somehow think that since i can read.. i can figure wat it means. coz in the end.. she passed me the bk n it was all in korean!!-_____-". found out frm the guide that it was a re.li.gion bk.
reached jj at abt 4+ n started our journey to y0n.g.da.um dr.a.g.0n ro.ck! the wind was super strong over there but nice! nxt was t.ap.d0ng st.. nth much.. we juz shopped at the duty fr.ee plc. last stop was dinner n then ho.tel. we put our lu.g.gage down n went down to explore the plc.
gui.de told us to cross the road n walk str den turn right to go to some streets that has some shops. call us sua.kus or roa.d i.dio.ts.. coz such simple instructions.. but we couldnt find the plc.. we ended up on this st that was so quiet.. n we had to shopped in a fam.il.y mart ak.a. 7-.11 instead!-____-. bought ice pops n it was nice to eat smth cold in a cold weather!haha.
