Korea day 6

In the morning after breakfast, we set off to some Korean Palace

 

 

This is my favorite picture <3 p="p">

 

After that, we went to a crystal shop, gingseng shop and 肝保店. At the amethyst shop, we bought some amethyst keychains while at the gingseng shop, we bought some gingseng candy and stuff. After that, we went for lunch at a ship restaurant.

 

 

There, we had Korean Steamboat and...

 

Bibimbap! I always thought bibimbap would not taste nice as there is egg yolk and beef in it. But the authentic bibimbap just taste so delicious! With the simmering hot plate, you can cook your rice for a while, after that you can add condiments and the ikan bilis! It is just like pepper lunch, but nicer and tastier! And fun, as you can cook your own lunch and have it whilst its hot.

 

 

After lunch, we went to a facial shop where we were taught how to cleanse, tone, moisturise, and take care of our skin! Of course, the aim was to promote their products. But we learned quite a lot on how to take care of our own skin. Especially for a growing teen like me who do not quite know how to take good care of my skin. We used their products like the gingseng facial mask which is still not for sale and the product that can remove our dead skin-which I think was quite useful.  We also used their BB cream which can cover our blemishes and protect against UV rays. After that, we made our way outside to shop for facial products, we bought 100pcs of facial masks which were damn cheap like S$1 per pc, sleeping mask, dead skin remover...

 

Following that, we went to Myeondong

 

This is where I shopped till I dropped and got lost...

We went to Uniqlo where I bought a minnie mouse tee and a furry jacket which I love so much! Then, we went to facial shops like The Face Shop and others where we bought nail polishes and masks. After that, when it was almost time, Godma told me to walk backwards from where we came. But the stubborn me who wanted to shop more thought I was so damn smart that I know how to walk back to the place where we were going to meet the group.

 

Finally, I declared that we lost our way, we went around asking the people how do we go back by showing them this picture that I took.

 

 

 

But I had a language barrier and nobody understood what I was talking about. Me and Godma just had to ask strangers to lend us their phones to make a call to our tourguide. After much asking from the people, a guy helped us called our tourguide, who did not take a long time to come. Our tourguide had said that if you ask anyone from the streets to lend you their phones, they will surely lend you, but that does not seem the case! We asked almost every passer-by that we see but they simply rejected or ignored us, some even told us they do not have phones. How can it be, Korea, the most high-tech place on Earth where you can't lose a connection even in caves. EXCUSES...

 

Lucky, our tourguide came and brought us back without a word of complain, while I hung my head in shame and embarrassment. Breathe hard into my scarf as it was so damn cold, me and my Godma were anxious and wandering round the streets of Myungdong. Vicky Jie also kept teasing me for losing my way... thinking back, I felt that I was a laughing stock, everyone was already present, waiting for us only.

 

Night soon came and we went to Lotte World, like a finally! A theme park with both indoors and outdoors amusement. But it was quite dim inside.

 

 We had a light dinner at this Crystal Palace, before going for our rides.

 

 

The korean drama, 天国的阶梯 was filmed here. Running Man also filmed one of its episodes here!

 

It was a holiday for the Korean kids too and that day, Lotte World was damn crowded with long queues and waiting times that extended to hour plus. We queued up for quite some time for this pirate ship. The rides were also temporarily stopped because of the parade. 

 

 

The pirate ship was the most shocking ride ever, rode it and I could not stop yelling and shouting when it goes up and came down. I could feel my heart falling out from my mouth. My legs turned wobbly when I got off from the ride. During the ride, I clutched onto Vincent's arm very tightly and almost sank my fingernails into it. Luckily, he did not mind >,< Also, we were wearing thick winter clothing, how could my nails sink that easily. After, this ride scared the wits out of me, I did not dare to take any ride after that.

 

Here are some clearer pictures of the parade

 

 

 

After that, we went outdoors! Super regret not taking this ride! Why did the pirate ride have to freak me out! Okay la, who ask me not to have the guts too... Damn wasted. Vicky Jie and Vincent egged me to go on the ride and they said that the scenery up there was super nice! After that you will not even get to scream as it comes down in a flash, you won't even have the time to feel scared at all.

 

 

 

 

Then we wanted to queue for another roller coaster called the Atlantic, but the queue was too damn long and it was closed...zzzz... Hence, we scrambled back indoors to queue for the roller coaster ride with a 360 degrees loop.

 

Again, when it was our turn to take the ride, I gave up my chance as I was too freaked out...

After the ride, it was almost time, we went downstairs to enjoy the lights show which is about horoscope and star signs (astronomy) and bought myself some minimelts ice cream which tasted awful to calm my nerves. Then, after that, we met with our tour guide who brought us back to our hotel. It was a long day indeed.
