took this photo at the Oil Vegetable Flower farm..lolx..dunno wht's it called in english la..but it's 油菜花。 Urgh...got influenced by the tour guide liao..haha..well..if u see carefully, those tangerines behind me isn't real..haha..they are decorations..


the above few ones were taken at the Teddy Bear Museum on Jeju Island... Very nice... forgot to take photo of the world's smallest teddy bear..anyway, it's 4.5mm..so SMALL..haha
went to learn skiing in Korea too..can't believe that all the tour guides in Korea are all qualified to teach skiing..and it's so tiring for noobie like me..haha..but i still had quite a lot of fun...
CONQUERED MT SORAK...Climb to the highest point of Mt Seoraksan...haha.. come to think of it... i was almost near to givin up after climbin halfway up the steep slopes with only a few helpin steps...it was really steep... u can imagine if i move an inch to my left...i might have drop off the cliff...fortunately, i was determined enough..haha..phew...in the end only two auntie and i made it to the top plus the tour guide of course..haha.. the tour guide is so experienced lor... it's like nothing to him..haha..can't believe some korean girls wore heels to climb..haha..violent sia...
well...most memorable thing was the parting...had to say good bye to everyone in South Korea...quite sad la...haiz... but South Korea's standard of livin is too high liao.. dun think i can afford it..haha...maybe can be a tour guide there bah..haha. tell u..they can earn alot...esp the photographer..
