korean trip - day 2

well...2nd day of my trip...! having buffet style breakfast...juz ordinary western style breakfast...after tat wi will go 4 ski~~ skiing!! skiing u know? i guess 2day will b an exciting day 4 us...esp 4 mi as i nv experience skiing b4...nv even touch the snow b4....!

Queued 4 quite sumtimes 2 wait the korean tour guide 2 grant us the entrance ticket so that wi can enter (sounds funny) n rental of da equiment for skiing...wow...took quite sumtimes as many tourist there n of course many local ppl headed 4 skiing as well...


thick snow~~ it really caught all of my attention...~~


wow!! the snow mountain is magnificient~~ it's so huge!!


well equiped~ couldnt help myself but wish to get started to SKiiiiiiiii immediately!!!~~


the video~~ i enjoy eventough i keep falling n hitting my butt~~~ cool~~


ooops! struggled to stand up!


here wi are~~ skiing, a brand new experience 4 us~~ hav funzzxxxx`~

ski-ed(i dunno da past tense 4 this) 4 half day, so tired yet happy! wat i cant imagine n nv tot of was, i sweat a lot! while skiing, i sweat! in this cold weather! pheww~~my lips were freezing while my whole body was sweating...paradox... 0_? anyway, wi really had fun~~ it seemed totally not enough 4 us juz ski 4 few hrs...should b given 1 day...hehheheh~~


ok, b4 wi left da hotel moving 2ward next destination...here's da photo 4 memories...

after burning all my calories...i shall consume much 2 refill my hungry tummy~~ our lunch 2day was da famous korean bbq...


da bbq meat, well marinated n complimentary side dishes


bbq meat 2gether wif da rice + vege + seaweed soup

after satifising our stomach...wi moved on to our next target...on da way, wi stopped @ the petrol station...many headed 2wards wash room...while wi wondered inside a mini market...

in there, da korean tour guide claimed tat in korean, during winter, they eat ais-cream, while spring they drink herbal soup like ginseng, which seems so heaty 2 their body...it's all bcoz their theory is in winter, although da weather is cold, but in fact in their body is so heaty, meanwhile, during spring, they sweat a lot, so hav 2 drink sum tonic stuff to build up health...seems weird? but it is quite logic as well...agree?

listened 2 korean's theory, therefore i bought da ais cream...


again, due 2 da standard of living is so high in korean, this ais cream is so pricey...rm8 +/-

okay...time 2 move on...sleep in da bus throughout the journey to our destination~~ woke up tat time was abt to reach korean national park...it's relatively cold here~ coz the whole island/area/state (should b 1 of them...kekeke) is surrounded by MOUNtAIN~~ how cold can u imagine?


seoraksan national park (as u can c :p) this "bear" should b da national bear of korean...if i m not mistaken...da tour leader said b4...but i have forgottan...


go further, wi got da chance 2 hav a look 2 this buddha...according 2 korean, this is 统一大佛, but 2 mi, "it" is 释迦摩尼佛...


moved deeper, wi found this bridge...after passed by it, u will b "suci"...sumthg like tat...not sure...hahah

wat's next? ok, again...visit scenes where Autumn in my heart took place...i dun really like korean movies, keep crying, sad face...make mi feel so sorrow...so obviously, i didnt watch this movie as well...


1 of da scene in da movie, a fish village...


this is da movie tat i've mentioned abv


the mini mart where the actress stayed...or work (in da movie of course)....watever :p


the beach where the actress went when she was going 2 die...

tat's all...nth special...haha...~~ may b i m not into those korean series, so all these sounds unrecognizable 4 mi...

abt 7pm like tat, time 4 dinner...this meal known as 石头拌饭,stone rice (izzit call so?)...da rice mix wif egg, seaweed, korean chili sauce, vege, stir n eat...



again, the side dishes...every meal there will b all kinda side dishes...esp korean signature, kimchi...all side dishes r bottomless

after finishing our dinner, time 2 rest~~ da hotel was difference wif yerterday...but this is hav extra facilities, tat is hot spring~ rm60+ per entry...n wat? u r not allow 2 wear ANYTHING, which means naked...in side da pool...cool~~ i didnt try, as no companies + too tired...now think back, lil' bit regret...should try as an experience...:p


errm...b4 u click 4 larger view to "sumthg", i can acknowledge u tat this is outdoor hot spring...da 1 i mentioned abv was indoor...*blekzx*

okaaaayy...time 2 enjoy cooking kimchi la mian, fully utilize da facilities ;) bye!
