Korea Grad Trip Day 7 - 21Jun10

Day 7: Off we go to Jeju!
Gimpo Airport + Yeha! Guesthouse + Sea + Early Dinner + The Mysterious Road + LOVE Museum

The best breakfast place around our Seoul Guesthouse. We patronized it almost everyday when we were in Korea. Super cheap and delicious food offered. By just looking at the pictures, my stomach is growling now. Oh! How I miss those days..
Individuals with the food :)
On the subway towards the Gimpo airport for our flight to Jeju
Still as happy :)


After we've arrived at the Gimpo airport and with all those checking in, we started to take photos again! Is there really so much stuffs to shoot? LOL!

Here we took a quick lunch before boarding the plane
It's a fastfood restaurant which I forgot it's name :p
Zuo Yuan always look so funny :D

Here we are inside the domestic plane, getting ready to set off to Jeju!
Woot~ The air stewardess are so pretty :)


Arrival at Jeju after an hour plus of flight. I'm really excited and look forward to what's going to come next :)

The first amazing thing we saw was this very well dressed lady directing the traffic in the middle of the road in the first picture. This is what we don't usually see in Singapore.
I took some photos in the taxi as well. Nothing's going to be missed out by my very pinkish canon camera :)

Yeha! Guesthouse is so cosy and clean! I totally fell in love with it. Serious!

After settling down, we went to our nearby scenery places nearing the sea for an easy breezy walk. Jeju was a slower pace island as compared to Seoul which emphasizes on RELAXING.

Ajumas (a.k.a. Aunties) could be seen sitting just a short distance from the sea, selling fresh seafood

What a great place for taking photos and relaxing. I just love the nature :)

Feeling hungry? Luckily there were some food stalls selling finger food.
Stupid tourist act came in again. Zuo Yuan was always the one -_-

Zuo Yuan, Von & Weisi chose to have fresh seafood at the nearby seafood restaurant
Looks real good isn't it? :)

The rest of us decided to go for the kraze burger instead. Healthier choice. It really taste good :)

Our mains looks extremely attracting too. I JUST LOVE IT!
Individuals with their food

The washroom was really clean and high technology. Flush and etc buttons are all beside the toilet instead of at the back!

Some artistic photos which I really like :)

Our first stop after the early dinner - The Mysterious Road
It was said that all objects that was put on The Mysterious Road would go against the gravity. And YES! The saying IS TRUE! We placed a glass bottle on the road and it just mysteriously rolled upwards.

Next up, we went to the LOVE Museum as it was one of the tourist attractions listed in the brochures that we took at the Jeju airport. Quote Auntie Lucy: SO EMBARRASSING! LOL!

It was indeed a LOVE Museum as lots of related sculptures could be seen once we enter in
Look at Ling! LOL!

Stupid tourist in action! Always loitering around couples (that's how we got the name)

Miniature models could be seen in another section in the museum. Interesting I must say!
Definitely an eye opener!

This photo by Von's mum was a Thumbs Up! So dramatic!

Back to our Guesthouse, Yeha! Guesthouse after a day of exploring Jeju.
They have a HAPPY HOUR promotion which entitles every staying guest a free cold drink! Bravo! Love it!

Decorations of the living room of the Yeha! Guesthouse, with Xiao Ming & Ling as their spokesperson :)
The color pencils and Simpson notebooks are for guests who wished to write something about anything. Really Cool~

OMG! Look what Von & Weisi is doing? -_-
Drinking beer at such a late hour?
That's all for the day! Do stay tune for Day 8 activities :)
Thank You!

Korea Grad Trip Day 6 - 20Jun10

Day 6: Namsan Tower + Gyeongbukgung + National Folk Museum in Korea

On our way to take cable car to Namsan Tower :)
See, I took a photo with the vending machine (the one Goo Jun Pyo had in the drama Boys Over Flowers)
Nice scenery at the area and acting begins again

Photo with the big N

Namsan Tower also is a very unique location for couples as they have this padlocks area where couples wrote their messages on the lock itself and lock it there for eternal love. See how countless the locks were over there (Khuntoria couple came during their shoot in We Got Married too)..
Acting begins AGAIN~

Taking down the process of their eternal love locking moments

There's a mini Teddy Bear Museum (actually a mini shop) around the Namsan Tower area and of course we had to take a picture with it :)

Flying postures at Namsan Tower area
Super like a I am a Tourist Act

Taking photos with the beautiful scenery along our strolls
Lunch at a pasta restaurant where I ordered something special, Baked Topokki (baked rice cakes). Spicy rice cake was one of my favorite food in Korea :)

Individual pictures with our food :)
Reflection photos at the subway :)
Mischievous I think :p

Group photo at the Gyeongbukgung's entrance

Very drama kind of scenarios but they are true history

Gyeongbukgung has so many beautiful scenery and we just kept pressing the button on our camera.

Zuo Yuan and Weisi acting "stupid tourist" (we named it for some fun moments)

Posing with our zodiac animals statue :)

We entered the National Folk Museum of Korea which was inside the Gyeongbukgung as it was FREE. There were some really interesting stuffs inside.

I was acting again -_-
How to not act when there are so so many interesting and drama stuffs in the museum?
LOL!


Emm.. As Zuo Yuan and I was so engrossed in taking almost every picture in the museum, the rest ended up waiting for us outside. Look how tired they are.. I'm so sorry.


Another super KAWAII kid with me (",)
He's chubby and cute right?

Dinner settle in a shopping centre which I can't remember which one -_-

Had Mister Donut for supper :)
We went to Myeong Dong for some late snacks everyday before we went back to our guesthouse.
LOVE IT!

Internal shoes section before entering the room and our bathroom

Our room number 205 :)
Although our room was pretty small but it had everything.
TV, fridge, hair dryer and everything that was essential.
