{ Korean Diary. Last day, Day 5 }
Day 5 11:56 PM • Tuesday, June 21, 2005
Last day in Korea. Kind of sad, I was only starting to get to know the others and we are heading home. The place was nice, my tour was great tahnks to the very dedicated tour guide , his assistant as well as the driver. The people in my grp were big fun and very considerate. That's what make this trip the best overseas trip for me so far.
Oh ya the hotel we stayed in, has got some major telephone problem. My aunt didn't get her morning call so were many others. In the end, we were delayed for about 35 mins to wait for a family who didn't get the morning call as well.
We finally didn't have American breakfast. We had traditional chinese porriage for breakfast. We then headed to a local goodies shop. I spent almost S$100 in that shop alone. No wonder the people were so nice, helped us pack all the stuff into a carton.
We reached the airport about 2 hrs before our plane flies. Bad bad check in procedure. You see, In singapore, when you checked in to get your boarding pass, you will also check in your luggage. That's not the case for Korea, these 2 procedures are done in seperate counters causing massive human jams and wasting lots of time, with only 2 luggage check in counters available, their slow service will sure cause us our flight. But luckily our tour guide was smart enough to get us to an express lane.
We went through the immigration. Usually, we get our passport stamped before we had our hand carries checked. But in Korea, they checked out carriers, even my shoes!! What the fuck!!
Never mind, that was not the worst. The immigration qeue was a madness!! It's like in singapore people queueing for some freebies queue. We managed to get to a short one but the woman ws under training and she is so SLOOOOOW!!! Fed up, another man opened a new counter and asked us to queue there and commented that she's new and she's slow haha.
The airport is like Singapore's, alot of gates. Ours was gate 23. So I saw gate 26 right in front of me, I thought, hey won't have to walk so far... WRONG!! we walked for about 5 mins then we reached gate 23.
But even when we boarded the plane just 15 mins before take off, the plane was delayed bcos of the immigration.
Reached Sg at 6.30pm... shag man... tired... but fun real fun
Will post pics asap...
Watch the space..
Welcome.
