hi all!! i just returned from Korea 2 days ago. for me, the trip was just so-so, not super fun, except for the shopping part. and, I HATE SKIING!! the shoes and ski board are really heavy!! it is also super dangerous as the ground and stairs were all covered in ice. its ICE not SNOW.... and it was really slippery, you could really fall to your death if you were super unlucky. almost everyday there was negative degree celsius, terribly cold!! but surprisingly, i could actually perspire when i was skiing, maybe because got exercise... haha. good experience though... we also went to 2 theme parks there: Everland and Lotte World!! Everland was nice!! there was this Petting Zoo, and the animals inside were adorable!! Got rabbits, chickens/chicks, cow, genuie pigs, ducks, swan, sheep and............... the sheep was the cutest! it follows the zookeeper wherever he goes, then when we wanted to take photo with it we had to hold it as the sheep will want to go to the zookeeper.. haha, the sheep was really soft and clean!! how i wish that i could keep it as my pet, haha.. there are alsomany rides there, it's a pity, i did not dare to sit... then somemore got a place where we can get close contact with lions, tigers, bears!!! the animals are alloewed to roam freely and we will be in the bus admiring them. there is also a lion+ tiger cub, only got 2 of them in Korea, if die already no more liao.. the bears are cute!! they are very obedient to the bus driver, cos the bus driver got biscuits for them.. that's about all the fun things in Everland... and in Lotte World, not as fun as Everland la.. We went there on a Saturday, so naturally, there will be shit loads of people there, and you will have to line up for 1 hr or nore if you want to get on a ride. so, we went there just to eat... haha. there was also a show at about 7.30pm, got alot of performers wearing different coutries costumes and faciful cars!! there was such performance in Everland too!! okay, enough of theme parks. we also went to the Da Chang Jin(Jewel in the Palace) theme park. took many pictures there, all the houses and venues were exactly the same as in the TV show... we also went to DIY kimchi!! it was quite simple according to the directions of the expert... then later, we changed into traditional Korean costumes and took pictures!! everyone looks cute!! okay, thinking back now, the trip was quite fun afterall, only i wish that the next time we go, it would not be during the winter season!!!
