Korea Trip Day 1 - Seoul and Jeju Island

*Long overdue summary of my trip there. Paiseh, coz sorting out the photos and thinking of what to write ma. Hahaha. * Our trip was about a week, so I will blog day by day stuffs going on.

Annyong haseyo? (Basic good morning/afternoon/evening greeting)

Haha, this phrase was greeted by the tour guide to everyone (20 peeps) on the same trip with my family. And she "forced" us to know this by hand, so everyday she praticed with us. haha.

First time going to Korea, anticipating it (after watching numerous Korean Shows). When we reached there (Seoul) the temperature was around 5 degree celscius, erm but was quite cold already. hoho! (But the air flight is pretty jerky, not a pleasant ride at all. :P) From Singapore to Korea is about 6+ flight.




When we reached there, the tour guide immediately brought us to Nami Island (南怡岛). We need to take a small ferry to go across to the place. This island is where the famous Winter Sonata filming (My mon ultimate fav movie. hoho!) took place. The tour guide "bluff" us, said actually very near to where we stopped our ferry, but the more you walk you realised it is not that near after all, and pretty big place. Too bad, when we went, nice leaves have already fallen, so mostly you would see tree trunks with baren leaves branches. :(

After about an hour at the island, we went to shopping area (东大门市场), ok la quite big. And in the late evening, we took an hour flight to Jeju Island/済洲岛. (something like from world trade centre to sentosa la...but is X500 times longer lor. haha!) And Jeju Island was pushed forward according to our past itneary, coz the flight there will need to depend on the weather. Only if it is ok climate condition, then the flight can take place. So the tour guide took the opportunity to bring us there.

When we reached Jeju Island, we settled in a Jeju Oriental Hotel. And that's a day trip le.

**P.S: The one thing I want to complain about the Hotel is the switch plug, real lousy la. I inserted in my chargers and it kept dropping out (the rest of the plugs in the hotel room I stayed also gave me the same problem), so in the end I went to find something to support the base and force it up to stop the charger from dropping out. Frustrating, Argh!
