Korea Day 6.

The previous night, the tour guide told us to bring a jacket along with us because Jeju's very windy and it would be cold when the wind blows. Indeed, in the morning, the wind was freaking strong and everyone was clad in a warm jacket...all except me. I did not bring a jacket along with me from Singapore but instead I wore a 3/4 sleeved top. Should be warm enough right?

Day 6's breakfast was porridge with abalone...although the abalone wasn't very visible. According to the tour guide, the abalone's "mashed up" so ya, can't really see. -_-


First stop of the day was Seongsan Sunrise Peak. By the time we reached there, the sun had already come out and it was...so damn hot. Luckily I didn't wear a jacket~heh. The last time I went there, I did not climb all the way up because it was too windy to do so but this time round, I actually climbed all the way up to the top. Damn tiring but hey, at least I did it!


Climbing up was tiring but at least it was easy for me. The bad thing about ascending something is that you have to descend it...by hook or by crook...and I hate walking down slopes. Walking down this place wasn't fun because there were soooo many slopes. Arrgh.


Me getting caught in the act of "shitting" on public grounds. WTF.


After walking down(finally!), we went to look at the little shops located there. Bought ice-cream, chocolates and long xu tang. The guy selling long xu tang said that we were pretty(not again...) and that we looked like as if we were 15~16 years old. Liar!!! I certainly do not look underaged lo. Want to lie also must lie better lar...wtf


Had to rush over to our next stop to take the boat because English-speaking uncle misplaced his camera and it took a while to get his camera back for him. It took like 5~10mins to get to the submarine place and boy was it windy!...and crowded too.


Climbing into the submarine was fun and luckily I did not wear a skirt that day. The first part of the submarine was quite boring because we were just going down into the sea but it became quite interesting when the diver appeared to feed the fish.


Hungry fish following the diver.


The corals were also quite beautiful and this picture doesn't do it justice. Sorry la, lousy camera skills.


You survived the submarine tour, Li Ming~!!! =D


Next up was lunch~! Lunch was black pig barbecue buffet. Yummilicious. Had the whole table to ourselves somemore. Whee~


As we were scared that the BBQ smell will stink up our clothes, we changed before we went into the restaurant to eat. So, I wore my ACJC shirt which was originally supposed to be my pajamas but ended up becoming my BBQ shirt. Lalala.


Following lunch, we went to the shooting location for Bae Yong Jun's latest drama, The Legend. Once again, there were so many Japanese there...Japanese aunties somemore...all the Yon-sama fans. Damn scary can! They were all like going high-school-girl-crazy over things in there and buying up his memorabilia. Oh, and the sign reads "Yon-sama's tea", if you can't read Japanese. This was the only tea shop that was crowded okay, just because of the "Yon-sama's tea" sign. -_-


Though not very visible in this picture, the couple behind us was giving us -_- looks when we were taking photos on the bridge. Oi! Cannot ar?!


I was "forced" to do manual work in Korea!!!


Bought a can of coffee from the vending machine outside the theme park because I was feeling thirsty/sleepy. The uncles and aunties from my tour saw me drinking it and all wanted to buy one for themselves too but...they did not know how to use the vending machine. So Li Ming ended up teaching them how to use the vending machine while I enjoyed my lovely can of coffee.


Went to Jusangjeolli to see the wonderful, natural rock formations. Half-asleep by that time so yup, don't really know what that place was about, except for the rock formations part. Lots of school boys there that day and they were scary can. The way they talked sounded so rude(and they were rude words too), so vulgar. I still prefer Japanese school boys. Heh.


Next was the Teddy Bear Museum where I finally got to see the Goong bear, Alfred~ Other bears inside I've seen before so we spent the rest of the time shopping, eating Lotteria and gossiping with the tour guide. =D


Went to the Dinosaur Theme Park to see many obviously fake dinosaurs. When we got off the bus, we heard the song "Toxic" playing and we were like...wtf?! They actually play Britney Spears' song in a dinosaur theme park?! What's the link?!


Each of us received a dinosaur egg and this is Li Ming's, the one that cannot be closed up properly.


Drove past the Mystery Road but we did not get off this time but just switched off the bus engine and feel for ourselves how mysterious it is. Luckily I went there before le. =D Yongduam was up next and it looks really pretty when it's all lighted up at night, as compared to seeing it in the morning.


The mermaid statue with very black, exposed boobs...Why?!!


Maybe because it got molested by tourists once too many times? Everyone who took photos with the mermaid statue just stood beside only...all except for me who went to touch her...erm...ya, you get it. Everyone was laughing at me can. One of the young couples jokingly asked me, "So, you molest girls too?" -________- My reputation is ruined!!!.....Wait, what reputation?


Dinner was a mini imperial dinner that wasn't really appetising. Nobody at my table touched the raw fish and only I dared to eat the raw sotong. In fact, I finished the whole plate of raw sotong. Rice was delicious though.


The night was spent packing our luggages because it was the last day of the group tour. So sad...but it also meant that our free-and-easy tour was going to start soon! Whee~ Shall blog about it another day. Damn tired now. =D
