11:44:00 PM
Hello helloooo :D!
Back with my Korean trip post again, i'm aiming to be able to finish the trip's posts at least before the half year mark passed >.< *such a low standard now, eh? LOL*. Fourth day's kinda busy, so again i have to split it into two posts!

Mt Seorak National Park is the first destination of the day |
Like i already told you in the last post, we totally overslept that morning! I decided i prefer not to shower (it's in the dead of winter! And i already showered and washed my hair the night before, so i am not gross!) rather than not putting on some makeup *LOL*, thankfully we didn't take a lot of things out of our suitcase so we could pack up fast and jump to the dining room for some breakfast.
Yeah, well. I'm not missing breakfast two days in a row, that's for sure |
I guess we're not that late because we managed to had breakfast in peace, and even attended to morning business before we depart-on my case *grin evilly* ihihihihi.
Anyway, we're off to Mt. Sorak afterwards.
KC and Bebe. I should make Antavaya Tour pay me for advertising them in my blog *LOL* |
Silly guys haha |
The place's gorgeous, so of course it's going to be one of those posts with endless nature pics haha |
LOL |
Too adorable not to post! |
I do love winter, apparently |
They have a scale for hikers to check if their backpack's too heavy, we're not going to hike but it's fun to just check hahaha |
Hulloooooo |
So... i don't even know the right words to say it. It just looks so cultural and rich in history. I love that! |
Da crew |
Say hello to Hana, our Tour Leader (who's 20, she's just a baby *LOL*) |
Hugging train ^^ |
Crazy wefie with the TLs, guides and photog |
We're queuing up for the cable car |
Here it comes |
It's so crowded i didn't have space and time to be scared. Kidding, cable car doesn't really scare me anymore haha. I guess i'm getting better with height |
I think it should be a river? |
Told ya it's a blog post full of breath-taking views :P |
So sorry about the glare ya |
Once we arrived, the first thing we checked out was the cafetaria *LOL* |
What's with the pose, hun? |
Sonny started hikinh up this rocky hill like a mountain goat |
Seriously, i'm not even going to attempt to |
We kept on taking pictures with Tom and Bebe, i guess we should take some with Sonny too. I think the other guy is Ken? I can't remember >.< he's from the other bus (a photog like Tom, i think) |
LOL, no need to look so happy, Sonny |
Okay, i'm a wuss. And very clumsy, i repeat. So i decided i'll just stay there at the bottom to be safe |
Which resulted in this kind of pic zzz but i guess i can live with that |
Gorgeous (the backdrop, not me), if there were less people around i might ask hunny to take some outfit pic hahaha |
Well, i'm sure people from four seasoned countries find it hard to understand why everything's so fascinating for us, tropical creatures. This is definitely not a sight we get to see very often... |
Awww my monkichi |
Yeah, like i said, we decided to go back afterwards |
These two are a lovelier sight for me than the mountain haha |
One to add to his future wedding video? LOL |
Selfie with CL |
Of course, we'd never skip having snacks whenever possible *LOL* |
So please bear with me (bear, not bare. It's so annoying reading people writing "Bare with me", what do you want us to strip with you?) through it >.< |
Somehow the slightly blurry images makes them look a bit vintage looking, as if i'm taking it with a traditional roll camera *LOL* |
Weirdly she snaps back to normal at times, it's harder to track the reasons of her blurriness! Is it the cold (at least she still worked well majority of the time, KC's camera pretty much died and refused to work 95% of the trip!)? Or what? Anyway, we're heading to Sinheungsa Temple |
Awww, why so cute ^^ |
MT and i, i look more like his older sister than aunt, no? LOL (of course i do, if you say no then you're delusional. I've been told that i look like Baby Boy's sister for goodness sake *LOL*) |
Almost all of the pictures Au took of us here turned out blurry or fugly zzzz, thankfully Tom also snapped one here hahaha |
Group pic! Is it just me but does my beanie makes me look like a gnome *___*? |
Donation box, of course Baby boy just wanted to "feed the frog". It's a frog, isn't it? |
One of the temple without people cluttering it |
Lots of our tour group's members (including KC. Yes, i have a multi-religion family. My parents have different religions themselves. KC's Buddhist like my dad, i am Christian like my mum) |
On the way back, we stumbled into this tea house/souvenir shop |
They were serving free tea here, thankfully Au bought something or else it'd be very embarrassing just getting the free tea (but honestly we came in because of the "Free tea" sign #kiasuforever) |
We're heading to Everland next, it was so sad-the amount of time we were given to spend there *LOL*, we managed to play like.. I dunno, three rides? LOL. But we did get some nice pics, it'd bee too long to post here so i'm making Everland visit as part two of this post.
We were offered an all you can eat Korean BBQ lunch or we could just eat at Everland (it's one of the rare time we had to eat by ourselves during the tour package), since we already knew we wouldn't have a lot of time in Everland, spending time for a buffet meal seems absurd *plus i simply don't do all you can eat, it's a waste of money since i'm so picky hahaha*-and we ended up bargaining to have lunch at this rest area on the way there instead :
Baby Boy isn't fond of Korean food, but he really does love their snacks and street food! He preferred to have a huge sausage instead of a real meal here |
Hunny's dumpling |
Or ice rocks lah |
Then there's this corn ice cream. It tastes like corn but cold and sweet. My taste bud went all confused!!! |

ReplyDeleteIyah, yg banyak d Nami sih kemaren hehehe tp dinginnya lumayan bangett
DeleteAwww, the hugging train is so cute!
ReplyDeleteWe are very cuddly hahaha
DeleteWow it's great to experience winter in Korea. Did the beanie from Uniqlo did its job well to keep you warmer and cozy? I will be going to a cold country soon and I'm thinking of getting warmers and a beanie too. The hugging train looks so cute! I guess that Korean food isn't really for picky eaters and kids. Most are pretty hot and spicy.
ReplyDeleteIt sure did! My main problems with cold's definitely around the ear, hands and feet area, the beanie protected and covered my ears well! Actually most of the food we encountered is leaning more to the bland taste and my son wasn't happy about it haha
DeleteYou spent just 1 day in Mt. Seorak?
ReplyDeleteYep!
DeleteAwesome! Your vacation experience in Korea is very memorable and a lot of experiences you get there. Thank you for sharing your vacation experiences and knowledge. theapartmentsubud.com
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to offering flexible packaging solutions for many different sectors, China Aluminum Foil suppliers play a crucial role. Their premium aluminum foil is ideal for a wide variety of packaging needs, including those involving food, drink, and medicine, as it prolongs the life of perishable goods while keeping them fresh. Modern packaging would not be complete without recyclable and environmentally friendly foil choices, which have become increasingly common due to developments in production methods.
