We've waited so long for this day to come. It would be great if this trip is going to be taiwan, it was a sudden change to korea. I've een there about 10 months ago.. i knew i would be visiting some familiar tourist attractions for sure. The worst thing is... we are going there during this summer season.. the weather is the same as singapore. Equally hot and humid.
The company trip to Korea Seoul begins...
Day 1 (17th Aug): We were so tired after the 6 hours flight from singapore. Yesterday we were still in the office working till 8+PM when we started off to take the flight at 10.55pm. We reached the familiar Incheon airport at 6am in the morning. We are going together with Malaysia & Indonesia branches. Hang ard till 9 when we started off to the 1st place... A village where Da Chang Jin used to act. Quite boring~ It was hot!! After that we went to eat BBQ pork. I think that was nice, smells good.. unlike the pathetic breakfast I've ate on my 1st day in Korea 10 months ago.
Continued our journey to the Herbs Island. Saw a couple of lovely flowery tea houses. Today's trip is more towards the countryside so every single trip seems so far. All of us took turns to take naps in the bus. At night we went down to meet the rest of the ppl to play pool, ping pong ball, ktv, eat snacks etc. They r all free of charge. The table tennis really kept me laughing. Table tennis become floor tennis. We have to save the ball no matter how far the balls go. Basically no rules. We have been running everywhere in the entertainment room to hit the ball... saving them from the floor...haha... very fun.
Day 2: Changed hotel to Seoul. After a long day, we reached hotel at 9+pm. Met up with Yo young mo. He has to come to Itaewon to pick us up in the hotel lobby n we make him waited very long. He has changed abit but his laughter is still so funny. Introduced wen jie to him. So hard to talk to him in english. Have to use sign language as well. He felt so tired trying to communicate with us. Yo young mo gave me an advance birthday present during our late dinner, or rather supper? All the shops were closed. So good of him to show us around although it's very late. Especially that famous beautiful stream.. So romantic with waterfal n lightings. He wanted to help us pay almost everything but i insist to give him money. He's still a student. Came back to the hotel at 2+am. Yo young mo decided to play lan nearby till dawn. Very strange.. maybe he's broke? He seems reluctant to leave us. We might not be able to see him in years.
Day 3: Last day, Free & Easy. Went up with arlene n wen jie, just the 3 of us. Went Dongdaemun, Namdaemun ad MyeongDong. Bought alot of things. At night after reaching hotel, Arlene n i rushed to take sauna for the 1st time. So weird to let her see me naked.. weird n shy...embarrassing! I didn't see anything. =X Saw so many naked aunties walking around like no body business. It was really really hot during that short 5 mins in the sauna room. I can't sit on the benches man. Too hot. 5 Mins seems to long to me. Next step was to jump into the cold pool... to close our pores. After that..we got to enter the hot ginseng pool... We are like chickens being put into the oven, dipped into cold water n den steamed us in the ginseng soup.. Ready to eat. Everything was so close cos the closing time is 10pm n we only had 20 mins to do everything. My face is sooo red...like i've just came back from 2.4m run. Feel like sleeping immediately...
Day 4: Today is the last day. Say bye to korea~
