On the first day, i boarded the flight - 1st korean flight.I was expecting a personal screen but to my dismay,we had none of that.Hence, i decided to sleep but i was interrupted by an old man nearby.Initially, i thought that he was just a normal old man trying to seek attention.As the times go by, the old man looks like a pervert...He was only seeking attention from the pretty stewardess. i was hoping that he is not one of the tour group members but i was wrong.
After a 7 hours flight,we finally reached Seoul!We were welcomed by the 1st good looking korean guy-which is our cameraman for the whole trip.After 10mins waiting for everyone to gather, i found that there is a group of indon kids - rich kids,2 married couples, 3 sisters,mother and daughter, and an old man with the pervert guy!!
We were sent to Dongdaemun market to take a look - all shops were closed as we were there at around 930 am. After spending one hour there, we went to Namsan park and Seoul tower.We took our lunch after that- our 1st korean lunch!
Thereafter, we flew to jeju island.( 1 hour flight).

2.Folk village - went to see black wild pig and where the scenes of the jewel in the palace were taken.The ppl there tried to hardsell us some stuff =D

Seoul(Friday)
=====
We flew back to Seoul! Today was a hot day!
1.Gyeongbokgung palace- This is a huge palace with lots of lodgings for the emperor and empress.
2.Traditional cake musuem - we were given the rice cakes and cooling tea.The tea was nice but the rice cakes were not to our liking!
3.Korean folk village- this is different from the folk village we visited in Jeju. Other than that, i cannot recall what is actually in it ( i shall post more on this once i recalled!)
4.Everland theme park - my 1st theme park with my dearie! We visited the night safari, the amazon express, tram ride , rolling x-train and splash water. We only missed one exciting ride which we purposely did.Hehe, after the last 2 exciting rides, we gave up.It was our 1st time that our rides were after 7 pm. This enhanced the excitement that the rides gave us. In addition to that, we were so hungry and dare even to take a bite before the rides.
Farming day ( Sat)

1. Cheese making- eww, the final product that we made is ridiculous
2.Potato eating - grilled , we skipped the digging ( i think the ppl there thought we are useless after the cheese making)

4.grass sledding - some of us fell down while doing so , luckily i was fine! there were alot of sheep shits scattered on the grass!

Time to fly back!!!
We had such a heavy breakfast that none of us ate lunch, but of course we bought some nice buns.
Kimchi eating- ... hahaha actually all of us got so sick of it.
But i still luv the korean rice bimbap and thus, i still chose the korean food for dinner in the plane! I will miss the hot paste ...
2nd dinner=>
We ate a 40 dollars seafood meal per person on the 2nd day at Jeju, this meal made all of us broke.None of us dared to protest to the tour guide....she must had a good dinner without paying.
For the 2nd last dinner=>
We chose to eat burger king for one of our meals - coz eating kimchi 7 days for 3 meals is not a good thing.
