Korean Experience Part II
Day 3:
Everland Theme Park... Is the place where the sick will recover... b4 getting off the bus, my colleague warned the students who are not feeling well to not play the 'over-exciting' rides. But I commented that, when there're things to play, they'll recover from whatever sickness they have. True enough, we asked the boy who had fever the previous night... He's all ready to play...
I love roller coasters... But I hate Vikings... and I was half carried and half pushed onto the Viking... As I expected, I went all giddy and wobbly... I hate that... I lost my appetite for lunch... But it gave me the chance to ask for nicer treatment and the boys helped me carry my bag... =P And guess how I recovered? Another roller coaster ride does it!
Skiing... URGH... my success rate is barely 20%... Worse than my Time Crisis accuracy...
Out of the five times that I tried skiing down the slope, I only succeeded once, and it was the shortest one... I think I'm lousy when my own feet are not touching the floor. Just like rollerblading... urgh...
Day 4:
Nxt day we went to the Digital Pavilion, where you can imagine everything and anything become 'virtual' in front of your eyes.
Then our guide brought us to the World Cup Stadium... It wasn't in the itinerary, but he paid for our entrance fees. Where the students went crazy... and I was like... ok... stadium lor... But that's where I bought the stamps of the Olympics in Korea in 1987... I love stamps... YEAH!
Then we went to the DMZ, the border between N & S Korea. Very strict security, where they have to check our passports, and we can only take pictures behind the yellow line... Then we went down the 3rd tunnel... discovered in 1978... It's a NE Journey cum workout session. Halfway down the slope, I wanted to go back but I still went on to the end... at the bottom of the slope there's still another long tunnel, and the boys' safety helmet kept on hitting the ceiling cos it's low and they had to bend their necks haha... That's when the girls including me start talking about the benefits of being short. =P As expected, the walk upwards was exhausting... by the time I reached the top, I have half a life left... I was sweating even though it was very cold outside...
Then we went to Kimchi school! We had to pay for the session cos it wasn't in our itinerary. But it was all worth it. We made our very own very small Kimchi. Then we could wear the traditional Korean Costume and take as many pictures as we want! My sis said I looked slim in the costume... Ya... cos the costume is meant to be very loose. Oh we took numerous pictures. While the girls had many different colours to our costumes, the boys all had the same ones. They became the background that all the girls wanted to take pictures with.
