Korean Day 6 part 1

*mds* and I woke up the next morning to a beautiful sunrise. For today, the itinerary will be some sort of "back to nature", visiting the Seoraksan National Park and riding a gondola up Mount Balwang.

No idea what has happened to my old spectacle. The low humidity seems to make the protective cover of the lens to crack. Weird....

A snapshot of the mountains of Seoraksan National Park

The bear of Seoraksan

Nice scenery of a bridge over a small stream

A temple in the national park

A interesting blend of new technology with old infrastructure

Another good scenic spot

The Buddha representing the unification of South Korea and North Korea

Korean Day 5

As usual, *mds* and I have to wake up early in the morning for our breakfast. Before checking out of our room, we took a panorama view of the early South Korea street view. For the breakfast today, we have to eat as much food as possible to charge up for our next destination: Everland Theme park. Really looking forward to riding the famous coaster: T-express.

Animals in the mini Zoo. And there is a liger???

Lioness

Giraffes

Tigers

And the main star: Liger. Sadly, he is a loner as it is outcast by both the lions and tigers

Lazy bears waiting for their snacks

Halloween Theme Set-up

Halloween Stage

Halloween evil pumpkins

Polar Bears!! But sadly, I notice that their furs have a tint of greenish algae growing on them. They simply are not suitable to be living here.

For this Everland Theme park trip, I can say that we are extremely unlucky. The whole duration of our stay there coincides with a slight rain drizzle, which means all coasters are down! No!!! My T-Express...... I shall call this theme park "Neverland" instead! Never let us ride their coaster... =(

Dinner - BBQ Meat! Finally some decent meal!

Shop Set up

And our meal, with unlimited supply of meat!! *yay* =)

Korean Day 4

*mds* and I woke up early in the morning to have some abalone porridge. Don't ask me why is it in black colour. I have no answer for it.

Doesn't look appetizing right?

Straight after the breakfast, we set off for the airport to catch a flight back to Seoul. Next stop: Nami Island.

Strange...Nami Island has their own immigration?

Shopping district at night - though I have nothing much to buy. Prices are not that cheap

Free and easy dinner - Black bean noodle and seafood noodle. They taste much better than all the meals we have eaten today!

Night Accommodation - Novotel
