(Korea Trip) Day 8 之 Walkerhill Hotel & The Park Southernland

The last hotel that we stayed in was Walkerhill Hotel..
There’s a casino inside, and I, an underaged girl managed to went in.. wahaha..
funny thing is, they were supposed to check your passport before u enter..
But, they didnt check ours, i think is because we went in a big group(FYI, the whole tour group went together)..
even funnier thing is, I saw they check an old man’s passport before entering.. hahaz
the feeling to enter a casino the 1st time is so shiok, but i dun like the cigarette smoke inside the casino.. no good no good..
The last destination for our whole trip was The Park Southernland which was also the shooting location for 太王四神记 .. For all the shooting locations throughout the trip, i have never watched 1 of the shows before, so all is so unfamiliar to me.. lolx..

(Korea Trip) Day 7 之Namsangol Hanok Village

Namsangol Hanok Village composes of three parts: a traditional Korean garden, Time Capsule Plaze and the village itself, which includes hanok (traditional Korean houses)
Many Koreans were here for Chunseok celebrations..
and we could really feel their Chunseok 气氛.. Everyone here seems like they were having lots of fun..Some cute figurines

(Korea Trip) Day 7 之Insa-Dong & Myeong-Dong Street

We finally get to go on a shopping trip..
First up was Insa-Dong, there’s basically nothing much for us to shop there as its a street that sells mainly traditional stuff..
But we got to see many stalls selling their local snacks..
We were able to try making their traditional “mua-chee”.. Look at the size of the squid..
Think this is some kind of sweet..
Love this cafe’s structure..
They were having traditional performances as it was Chunseok festival..
Leaving Insa-Dong, we arrived at Myeong-Dong Street which is the same as our Bugis Street..
and we started shopping!!

(Korea Trip) Day 7 之Cheong Wa Dae & The Face Shop

Managed to take a look at Korea’s version of our Istana.. Its called Cheong Wa Dae aka The Blue House.. The Face Shop is the place where we have all been waiting for!! Its shopping time!!
The things there are a whole lot cheper than S’pore.. For eg, the cleansing foam thats selling in S’pore for $20, in Korea, u can get it only for $7..
Needless to say, we spent alot in there.. hahaz..

(Korea Trip) Day 6 之Yongpyong & Korean Farm

Yongpyong is a place that is located on the mountains..
During winter, this is the place where people go skiing..
Its extremely cooling.. In the morning, u can see the clouds surrounding you..
Yongpyong is also a shooting location for Winter Sonata.This is supposingly the cafe where Winter Sonata was being filmed.

(Korea Trip) Day 5 之Everland Theme Park

After leaving Jeju, we headed over to Everland Theme Park..
As it was a public holiday, there was a very very big crowd..
Everland is really huge.. There’s even a safari zoo inside…Look at the queue..
Took this “cable car” down to the lower part of Everland..

(Korea Trip) Day 4 之Seopjikoji & Songsan Sunrise Peak

The last 2 destinations for Jeju Island would be Seopjikoji & Songsan Sunrise Peak.. Both places are filming locations for All In & My Lovely Samsoon respectively..
The waves at Seopjikoji was a sight to behold (for me)..
The church where All In was supposingly filmed.

(Korea Trip) Day 4 之Haenyeo Museum & Seongeup Folk Village

Jeju Haenyeo Museum is a place where we can get to know more about Jeju Island’s Haenyeos.
Haenyeos are the symbols of Jeju women who were the bulwark of Jeju’s economy as they went on long expeditions to Japan as well as other parts of the country with their strong tenacious hold on life and pioneering spirit which is the characteristic of the Haenyeos.

(Korea Trip) Day 3 之 Rainbow & Korea’s Market

While having our dinner, we spotted this beautiful rainbow..
As far as I can remember, this is the 2nd time I’ve seen a rainbow..
The 1st time I saw one was in Singapore..
The rainbow here cant be compared to that in Korea.
Over in Korea, the rainbow is so much “clearer”.. as in the colours look brighter and can be seen so much clearer and nicer.. After dinner, went to their market to buy some fruits and also to take a look at what their market is like..
Surprisingly, there are still stalls open late at night..
If it was in Singapore, i bet all the stalls would have been closed by 5pm. hahaz
