Yesterday, woke up early in the morning to join hubby to "扫墓".. first we went to clementi to pick my mother in law, father in law and Sharon.. then we proceed to "Bishan Teng" to meet up with the rest and start praying... it was very crowded there and we spend quite some time finding a parking space... After that, our next destination is the cemetery at Chu Choa Kang.. as hubby is not too familiar with the route.. we conveyed behind Stanley's car and finally reached the place... it is my first time visiting a cemetery as none of my dead family members were buried... so it was quite an experience for me... When everything had ended, we all went to Labrador Park to finish up all the food that we had prayed... the weather was very hot and everyone is perspiring a lot... we all left at abt 3pm when the sky is starting to get gloomy and rain begin to fall... it was tiring day but certainly a fruitful one!!

Today is our last day in Korea and actually there is no program by SA tours so the tour guide asked if we would like to pay additional and he could arrange the driver to send us to the palace for shooting 'Da chang jin'. Since everyone in the group is okay, we go ahead and also included another shopping trip... The palace was quite a nice place and when we are there.. memories of the show come back and we can now experience and see for ourselves how is it like... overall it was a nice experience and we enjoyed ourselves truly... the shopping area tat our tour guide brought us was also quite nice and we managed to grab some bags there cos were given quite limited time and we found so many things that we wanted to buy... After everything, its time to go to the airport and go back to Singapore... actually I sort of miss home and my bed in our lovenest... *Click on the link below for our pics**Pls view below link for our pics*Our Honeymoon ~ Day 7 Seoul

This morning, we went for a buffet breakfast and got to drink soya bean milk but too bad no 'you tiao'.. Today is certainly a lucky day for us cos when we reach the place for our breakfast, snow flakes began falling.. this is our first time in life seeing snow falling from the sky... we were really very very happy =) Then, we learn to make Kimchi and wore Korea traditional costume for photo taking at their Korea cultural centre... *think we look cute in their costumes* Lunch today was chinese food with 6 dishes and 1 soup.. not bad After that, we went to an amethyst factory followed by ginseng showroom.. all their things are very expensive so we only bought some ginseng powder and ginseng sweets back... Tonight, we will be staying at Lotte World Hotel.. its a 6-star hotel and we will also be visiting Lotteworld Themepark.. there is nothing much at the themepark except that we watched a performance during their showtime... and the outdoor themepark is too cold for us to stay too long.. *Click on the link below for our pics**Pls view below link for our pics*Our Honeymoon ~ Day 6 Seoul

After breakfast, we are leaving the ski resort and going back to Seoul. On the way, we went to Everland (Big 5) Themepark and the tour guide brought us to one of the highlights which is 'Safari World'.. we queued quite long to get onto a mini bus and get to see a lot of tigers, lions and bears... then we went to watch a 3D show. Lastly, we went to try out the snow sledge where we supposed to ski down from the snow slope using a sledge.. it was very fun!! Lunch was BBQ chicken with rice After that, we went shopping at Chuncheon Myongdong and Namdaemun which is just one road apart. There are so many alleys and rows and rows of shophouses selling all kinds of fashion stuffs.. we enjoyed ourselves shopping and walking ard there..

Yeah! This morning we gathered at 7am and had breakfast in the resort.. finally got to eat some western food. It would take 1.5 hours to reach the ski resort but on the way we stop by a ski equipment shop and rented our ski pants, jackets and googles. After we reach the hotel, we change into our skiing gears and went for lunch first. Lunch was dumpling soup with rice. After lunch, we set off for our skiing experience. We took a gondola up 1,500 feet above sea level and it was really very beautiful up on the mountain peak filled with snow. We were given 3 hours to ski after some coaching from our tour guide. It was really very fun but tiring... As for dinner tonight, we need to settle at our own cost. We were both quite sick on the Korean food we had been eating everyday, therefore we bought hotdogs from a fast food cart as well as some junk food and ice-cream from a nearby supermarket.. it really taste exceptionally nice =) Tomorrow, we will be going back to Seoul and we can do some shopping and buy some sourveniors back!! *Click on the link below for our pics**Pls view below link for our pics*Our Honeymoon ~ Day 4 Yongpyeong

Today, we took a domestic flight back to Incheon International Airport and went off straight to Nami Island. The coach journey took about 3 hours and another 5 mins for the ferry to reach the island. Before boarding the ferry, we had our lunch at a nearby restaurant and today's lunch is grilled chicken with 'nian gao'...We spend about 2 hours on the island taking pictures (famous row of chestnut trees in 'Winter Sonata') and enjoying the scenery.. after that, we took another 3 hours of coach journey to Mount Sorak. Tonight, we will be putting up at Hanwah Resort which is similar to our chalet in Singapore and hot spring at Waterpia jus before dinner. But hubby and I decided to give the hot spring a miss cos we are not really into this kind of thingy so we rest in the resort and took a walk at the supermarket within the resort...Dinner tonight is tofu with riceWe are going skiing tomorrow. As our package do not include skiing equipment so we check with the guide how much is the rental cos SA advised us that it would be about USD100 but surprisely he told us that if he were to book for us, it would only cost 35,000 won...*Pls view below link for our pics*Our Honeymoon ~ Day 3 Nami Island
