Wednesday, December 2, 2009 at 12:10 PM Hey guys! I've finally manage to post this :D So as you all know I went to Korea with my relatives on the 22nd to 29th Nov. And, I'm sorry as I cannot remember which place we went first, so the orders of the pictures of places are not in order, but I'll just tell you the name of the place and what I did there :D So here goes: Hahahahah, actually I also don't know what this place is called, but it's somewhere in Seoul, something like an Imperial house garden or whatever. Our tour group went there for a while to waste time as we landed quite early, around 9am and our flight to Jeju on that day was at 1pm +     2. We finally got on the plane and flew to Jeju Island, where we started off our tour by visiting the Dragon Head Rock. It's suppose to be a rock formation or something.   On the way down...  There! Can you see it, the dragon's head? :p  We had to climb so far down this steep path...  It's not easy, lol.    When we went back up, there was a pony-horse thing animal that was damn poor thing because it was tied to some fence and it couldn't move around. It was for tourists to pay money and ride on it. D< src="http://img138.imageshack.us/img138/5900/koread138.jpg">  LOL, first time I see cactus got flowers sia.  We were told that the people in Jeju had mongolian ancestors or something, and there was some war story behind it, thus there is this statue of a monolian thing, that is placed in every shop and house.  They had a replica of limestone formation inside caves in Jeju near the volcanoes...   Korean bear ^^v    The skeletons of animals that used to live on the island before they died during the multiple volcanic eruptions at Jeju.    These are actually real insects that have died and have gone through the process of taxidermy. There are also animal displays that have gone through taxidermy but it freaked me out so I didn't take any pictures heh.  These are all the different types of oranges that can be found in Jeju, like wth, and I thought all oranges were of one kind only -.-        Pictures above are displays of how the people in Jeju used to live. We then went outdoors of the museum and we saw the pretty leaves and more displays of volcanic rock lol.   Volcanic rock ^   I just happened to take a picture of this sunset and I think it's damn chio lah, that's why it's up here. HAHAHA.    This was our hotel for the first 2 days in Jeju. Omg the floor was damn nice and warm, like it had some heater underneath or something. 4. Next day we went to some mountain place.   As we climbed up, we could see the view of the whole place. Also, we took alot of pictures there, where me and my cousin sat on the grass & attempted jump shots, but the pictures I took were damn unglam so ya. No let you see. 5.We then went to the Teddy Bear Museum, and I took like over 200+ pictures there, so I've cut them down to like, 20.  I like this display alot; it's of the Beatles~ hehehehe.  Bearish replica of the sand soldier statues thingy in whereever (china?)  I like this fashionista-ish bear lol.  Michael Jordan [?]   "The Thinker"  HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA.  Mona Lisa   The world's most expensive Louis Vuitton [?] bear! :D  Me & my cousin then went outside of the museum and there were more bears! We had to wait damn long to get that shot of hugging the bear because there were like fucking old and irritating aunties that were 40 - 50 years old and probably from China or Hong Kong that were hogging it up.         Tea Museum! Aish, actually not much to do here...   There were different kinds of tea cups and pots that were on display.  But I screwed all that and went to eat Green Tea ice cream. LOL, it's my first time eating it.   Took a walk outside the museum and there was this super pretty garden. We also went to Everland theme park! It was basically split into a zoo, a rides theme park and a games theme park.  The tour guide led us to the animal part first, and it was raining and cold so we took this bus ride around the zoo.  Like duh, there were tigers and lions and owls, so I don't wanna post anymore of that up here.  But, guess what's this interesting animal? It's a Liger ! Lion + Tiger ! But unfortunately, it's the only one left in the whole of Korea, and it cannot reproduce because if it did, the DNA of its offspring would be seriously messed up, like some down syndrome tiger lion animal.  This bear is like a damn good food-catcher, as the driver of the bus wound down his window to anyhow throw biscuits, but the bear stood on 2 legs and followed the bus, catching all the biscuits.  This was a bowing-bear. It kept bowing k omg. There was also a waving bear but I don't know which of my bear pictures it is, lol.  We sat some rides and after that there was nothing else to do so we sat this open-air cable car thing up and down. We also saw this polar bear that kept using its paws to close its eyes and swimming. I had a picture of it, but I can't find it because my computer is fucked up and I don't know why ):  This is the rides part of the theme park, and this Christmas tree was at the entrance.  So pretty eh omg the place! Once again I lost some pictures here due to my computer. _l_  We saw this theme park character so we went to take a picture with it!  One more time! :D  Ah, this was some hotel place that we went to take a look around.   Hahahahaha, when we flew back to Seoul, this was our 3rd day hotel, walau eh, damn wasted because we only stayed there for one day, and the whole place was damn chio and fit for a queen lor.  We went to this kimchi school and after that, they had some Hanbok-trying thing so I went ahead and tried it. HAHAHA.  Went to Naminara Island!   There were these pretty heart-shapes made from dead leaves on the floor, throughout the whole island, I think the sweepers there did these on purpose.  You're supposed to put your hands on them to warm them up from the cold. It works, heh.  We played with leaves and all, lololol.   Somewhere along the trip we went to this temple-ish place, and there was this huge Buddha there. We bought a huge white candle, wrote our wishes on it, lit it up and placed it in front of the Buddha ^^   The place was beautiful too. Went to the skiing place!  The place was so pretty, omg.  I couldn't take pictures of us skiing as I didn't have my camera then, but the tour group's photographer did help me take a few shots and it's now on developed film, so maybe, if I'm not lazy, I'll scan it and post it up :D I think somewhere on the last day, we went to:  Yap.   Like duh, it had a village setting and all, and there were even children playing games that used to be played during very long ago, like the one above. It's like a see-saw, but instead, each person on each end jumps down hard on it while the other person jumps up, thus, can you see the boy flying up?  Super nice lanterns in the village houses...  Ah, we went back to Myongdong to get some stuff and I bought a Super Junior top ahahaahhahaha (L)  After that we went to Lotte World to play :D  Well, actually not really. We only sat one ride with the whole tour group, and we found no other interest in the other rides, so we just walked around. Then suddenly people were screaming and running towards the stage, and Abracadabra suddenly blasted ^^ I also kaypo and went to go see, but I didn't manage to take a clear picture or video of the performance D: There were performances by a girl-group (Rainbow) and a boy-band (Beast). And, frankly, I don't even know those 2 bands existed, LOL.  Went to see waterfall...  Took this picture at the entrance, so pretty right, the leaves.   Me, Cheryl, Aunty Jess & Uncle In.  After that, we crossed that bridge and then we saw this wishing fountain.  Each animal represents a value ie: mandrin duck = love. And we are supposed to stand in front of our chosen value, make a wish, and throw a coin into the pouch at the top. If the coin lands in the pouch, your wish will come true. ~ Visited some village thing again, where the lady guide was damn hilarious and funny, because she kept clinging on to my uncle, pretending that he's her boyfriend, lol.  She introduced to us some korean natural honey had no other things added inside, and she demonstrated that if you added water in the honey, the water and honey would be clearly seperated and weird hexagonal shapes would form in the honey.  There was also this pig in the village, where in olden times, its owners would shit into its sty and the pig would eat it. We ate that pig for lunch. Jia sai ttm.  This was our final picture in Korea before we headed back to Singapore D: -- Actually, there are alot more pictures, but I'm really lazy to blog them all here, as I took the whole of 2 days and 5 hours today to upload all the pictures. So if you wanna see more pictures of the places/me, then PM me :D Thanks for reading and i love you! :D |
