Korea Trip

Yes yes yes, i know that this post is long overdue especially since it has been almost a month since i returned so here it is. Basically just to keep things short, from the 19th - 26th of december, i was on holiday in Korea with my family. While there, we not only got to take in the local sights and sounds but on top of that also got the chance to experience a little of their culture and most importantly, their food. We got to sleep on the traditional Korean heated floor as well as savour their local cuisine. This especially so when we had kimchi almost every meal! But well, this trip turned out to be quite an experience for us-- riding horses, going onboard a submarine which took us 30 metres underwater to view a man made reef and most importantly, the oppurtunity to see snow(well not falling but all over the place) and ski in it! So there you have it, i'd say the trip was to a large extent enjoyable minus the fact that we were a little put off by some of their local's behaviour (pushing and shoving around and the presence of a little hostility as well as lack of hospitality and service). One thing was for sure, it sure was cold over there! Especially more so for someone like me who is not only afraid of the cold but who has never been to a cold country before.


The following are some pictures taken during the trip. Enjoy=)
