Singaporewoken up at 3am to have breakfast.

left 2 hrs before reaching korea.
so slept & woke up many times.
overnight flight is
NOT a good idea.
Seoularrived at Seoul arnd 5+ in the morning?
but in Korea it's 6am. 1hr diff.
so stoned at airport till 7am. [using Korea's time]
the group was splitted up into 7 groups.
& i was in the last grp. -.-
our tour guide's name was james.
waited for the bus & it drove us to our first destination.
Gyeongbuk Palaceit was a palace that was burned down by the Japanese
during some war thing. it was reconstructed. the palace
was nice. it had a dragon with 7 claws on the ceiling.
Drove past the
Presidental Blue House &
Namsan Folk Villageaft that. the Presidental Blue House was heavily guarded.
& i can't rmb driving past any village. so i'll skip that part.
Somewhere out of SeoulHot Springswent to the hot springs aft that.
i'll skip the part abt the changing room. it's X-rated. -.-
the place has a children's water play park & water massage place.
the water massage was super painful.
the place has 3 hot springs. 38°c, 39°c & 42°c.
dad & i decided to go into the 38°c one. SUPER hot. aft while, called sis
& chuayi to join me in the lazy river. we followed the river outside where
it was FREEZING cold. & there was this drain which made scary noises like
"GRRRRRRHHAAAAGHH." SUPER freaky.
Daemyung Vivaldi ResortAft that, headed to our resort. we went to loan our skiing clothes before tat.
it was freezing cold & the ski slopes were made up of 'snow'.
the ski slopes & hot springs was opp our resort. so it was convenient.
our resort room was in the traditional style.
so we slept on tatamis & the floor was heated by some hot water mechanism.
went for dinner in one of the convention rooms beside the ski slopes.
it was a buffet dinner & i didnt eat much. [those who know me will know why.]
i'm SUPERSUPER picky abt food.
had some award presentation thingy & lucky draw.
headed back to our resort arnd 11+. [Korea's time]
