Ahnyeong haseyo!

WARNING!: This is a very long post. Those who hate long post, pls leave before the pictures. Thank you.

Ahh finally I can blog abt my holiday to korea. Was totally busy. Morning :work with my mom. Night: resizing my 700 odd pics. It was too many that I took 3 days to finish them. How come took so many? I took buildings, men, ppl, flowers, trees, mountains, teddy bears many many more. Just so I won't miss korea. Hahahahaha..

All right let's not waste time. So how was my holiday?? It was fantastic!! I would want to go back there again! The weather though was really cold, but I love it. At least its not as cold as winter. Best time to go is late march onwards, in case you guys want to go. :)

Everyone in the tour was really friendly to one another. I'm lucky that I get to meet friendly ppl there. Made friends with all of them except for one. (let's not go into there). The tour guide is funny, the tour leader is fun to be with and the photographer is gd at his job. lol..

Didn't get to do much shopping as the clothes there are super duper expensive. Like a normal office blouse starts at 40 bucks. What more adding a few laces. How much would that cost? 70-80 bucks! Lets not talk abt bags, cost even more. But you see, to the koreans, its normal to them. But I bought food more than material things. haha.. as they are much more useful. I bought the one and only blouse. Couldn't try it, not allowed to try. In the end, I tried it at the hotel room and I couldn't wear! sad... BUT I bought sunglasses, shoes, teddy bear and cosmetics. hehe...they are cheaper than the blouse. Too many stories to tell but so little space. Oh well, let's play pictionary!
