{ Korean Diary. Day 1 }
Ok ok... here's my up date from my very first day to the last in Korea.... 11:32 PM • Monday, June 20, 2005
Day 1
Reached the Seoul-Incheon Airport at around 6.30am Korea time. Now I know why it was voted as one of the best arcitectural structure airport. It's only the arcitecture nice arh... not the people hor.. It's very spacious, and for the first time, I entered an airport that has alot of entry gates.
People there were rude, I always wonder are they deaf or dumb. They dun seem to know how to say, "excuse me." They will push you or tab you on your shoulders (so suay) to ask you to siam... but not saying excuse me.
Never mind, I can tolerate that. The biggest problem in all international airport except Singapore's: Slow immigration.
It took me more then 15 minutes to queue and get my bloody passport stamped.. ARH!!Irritating man!!
So finally got the luggages, got out and met the tour guide as well as his assistant, the so called cameraman of the grp. The tour guide (Mr Zhang) said it was too early, so we had to spent our remaining time in the airport (until 7am). Got to know that Macdonald's in Korea is really ex, almost S$9 for a meal, compared to S$6 in Singapore. And it taste funny..
Anyways, first stop, Everland. On our way there, we met this bus of crazy achool girls. I mean really crazy. Just imagine yourself chasing after your favorite artist and the bus you are in is right beside your idol's. get what I mean. I thought they saw some bloody superstar among us or what.. Haha but no, they were eyeing on Tommy (the korean tour guide's assistant). He, I wouldn't say is very handsome, just above average looks, was making these girls going gaga. That took place everytime our bus got beside theirs. But he, doesnt look like a korean. He has double eyelids, very sharp nose. I was so curious to ask whether those were real.
Anyway we reached Everland at around 9.15am, 15 mins before they open. Got to see their so called "opening ceremony".. Trust me, very dramatic. The place, very very magical like. It looked like Disneyland, but not quite a Disneyland. Anyways, the place was divided into 2, moutain top and bottom. We went to the bottom of the mouatian by sitting the so called Cable car. Not the ones going to Sentosa okay. It scary, your feet are free, nothing supporting them, letting your feet free. Me afraid of heights lah.. hehe
Oh ya all of their game attendents, snack bar people, wave like mad like that. Must show you the action personally. Ok first stop, we went to this ride to see Liger. Nope not a spelling error. This animal is a hybrid between a lion and a tiger living together at the Safari in Everland. Very beautiful creature I must say. Then saw many bears. So CUTE!!!! went crazy when I saw them.
Oh ya and I realise Korean men are all "paedeophilic" they like to pinch kids, including the youngest cousin of mine.
Oh ya I also went for another ride. A water one. Everyone got wet but I was all wet. Really wet.
It was sad that I couldn't ride those rollercoaster. If I were to go to Everland again, I will not go with Kids or aunties, non of them will go on rides with me... Sob...
Then we took another 3 hr bus ride to a Mountain resort. Really beautiful I tell you. THe hotel was part of a golf course and it was gorgeous. The view and the hotel. The room was huge and the lobby's toilet, was even CARPETED!!!!
At night, we went to a Casino nearby, I didnt go to the casino of cos, we went to watch the cabaret show. Not really fantastic, I almost feel asleep in there.
