KOREA..sEA cRUise

I shall end my story on Korea trip by sharing with you on this lovely sea cruise and views.

on the way...

fishermen busy preparing for the day catch...

ticket booth

huge & spacious...total 3 storey

Upon entering the ground floor, we were caught by surprised looking at the senior folks (men & women) enjoying themselves dancing on the floor with loud hip hop music and a deejay. Not forgetting interesting act by few expatriate dancers and performers.

The music blasted loudly on the ground floor and we couldn't tolerate it anyone. We proceeded to second floor and it was even better with lesser crowd and comfy songs rendered by a foreign female singer & a male pianist.

Next we went up to the top floor and amazingly, the weather was extremely cold and feel the wind cutting into our skin. Luckily, we had two jackets to keep us slightly warm.

time to relax mind & soul here..

Do watch the video below

I hope you do enjoy watching the birds flying very closely to our cruise during feeding time.  

KOREA...red WINE

I love drinking red wine especially during cool/rainy weather. It helps to warm up our body through blood circulation. Visit to the wine factory was supposed to be on second day but our guide changed it to the last day. Anyway, there is nothing much to see (not even wine making/process) except a short tour to the place where barrels of wines are kept and a shop to taste and buy red wines. Wasted a total of 2 hours travelling time! 

KOREA...cosmetic/SKIN CARE

Included in our itinerary is a visit to A Plus Cosmetic centre.  Since skin care and cosmetic is my daily necessities, I also did my shopping spree in 7-11 and also Lotte duty free airport too. Take a look!

Lady & Skin Hydro Care Water Drop Essence (KRW33,000)

I can feel the water immediately penetrate into my skin after applying it. My face feel extremely moist and supple. Only regret was IF I have bought 5 bottles as advised by the promoter at the cosmetic centre.

KOREA.....museum (ii)



Located nearby the first museum is The National Folk Museum. Big in size and packed with mostly tourist. Since I am not a 'history' person, I went inside, randomly took few photoshots and came out quickly within 20 minutes. 

love this traditional kitchen....compact and cute!







assorted kim chi's....looks palatable

they even have museum for the kids..wonder what's in store?

I prefer to stay outside witnessing the lovely trees and hill in a cool breezy wind! I enjoyed the surrounding so much and didn't notice my group have left till I saw my Korean tour guide waved his hand at me. LOL!

 

KOREA.....museum (i)

Honestly, I don't like the word museum or going to museum. For me, it is a boring place to be with all the statues and etc. But you can't escape when you joined a group tour.  Having saying that, I have to follow do with a little excitement and  I did learnt and gained some knowledge about Korean culture. 

This is our first stop at Cheongwadae Sarangchae, Exhibition and Museum. A relatively modern and small museum.  

love this breath taking view

inside...modern and clean

wow...all my favourite korean movies

at the souvenir shop

I feel relieved cos' I don't see any statues inside here.  Instead, there are colorful pictures and painting in every corner and walls.  Morever, this visit took less than 30 minutes only.

 

KOREA...MT SORAK...more pics

After a brisk and fun hiking up to Mt Sorak, our group proceeded to another discovery... mini temples and giant Buddha. Let the photo do the talking now.

Another relaxing and fantastic sight seeing!
