We woke up at 7 o' clock in the morning by the wake up call. Mom also took a few photos of the beautiful scenery of the resort from our hotel room window. Lots of snow, right? :)
We went down to the lobby to meet up with the others. And most of them are all dressed in their ski jackets. Of course, we have to take our luggages out, as we only stay for 1 night in the resort. Once everyone is down and all check-out, we went to the back of the hotel to have our breakfast. We had udon again but this time they serve pork cutlets. Since Muslims can't eat pork, they eat fish instead.
Next is skiing time. But for us, we stay down at the resort for relaxation family time and more photo taking. When we step outside, it was very cold and windy. Brrrrr!! Now I know how people feel wearing so many layers for winter.
We had a coffee in a fast food restaurant called 'Lotteria'. Of course, we do photo taking as well to past the time. And there's something new I had to try. We went to a small mini mart and got ourselves some snacks. For me, I wanted to try the Melona flavored ice cream. I remember "Star Date with U Kiss in Hong Kong" was sponsored by this ice cream brand and both Kevin, Eli and the four girls who went on a date with them were eating that ice cream during the whole show. And since I didn't try it in Hong Kong, I try it in Korea for the first time and see how it taste like. It was quite sweet and it's melon flavor. Well, at least its better than corn or red bean flavor.
It didn't take long for the others to come back from skiing. For lunch, it's on our own arrangement. We tried fried rice with pork cutlet in a food court. This food court is very unique. After you order and pay for your meal, you are given a number to wait for your meal. Once the machine holds your number, you get your meal. Our side dishes were more kimchi, preserved radishes and some vegetables.
After lunch, we get back on the bus and went to the shop to return the ski gears before heading for Seoul. From here, it took us about 6 hours to reach the city. It's just like travelling to Penang. Of course, we had toilet break in between. What do we do in the bus? Sleep of course! :)
Finally we're back in Seoul after a long journey. Next stop is the largest shopping mall called Dongdaemun. It's a shopping district where you can buy clothes, souvenirs, shoes etc. It's like a shopping paradise. What's unique to us is that outside the mall, we can see lots of food stand. So we had to try one. We bought a sausage with chili sauce. My, it taste crunchy. Not too soft, not too hard, just right :). After all, it's pork. Inside the mall, we got ourselves some souvenirs to bring back and give to our friends and relatives. What amazes me is that they also sell clocks, card games, posters, notebooks etc. with a picture of your favorite K-pop stars besides CDs. I hardly see these things in Malaysia. We do sell it but not as much as Korea. I got myself a U Kiss paper notes with their pictures on it.
It's dinner time. We had Korean bibimbap with grilled fish set that night. It's some kind of rice mixed with sorts of other varieties. And oh my word, our faces were burning hot in the restaurant while we're eating our meal.
After dinner, we cross the other side of the streets to our bus. For your general info, in Korea, we can't simply walk on the road anywhere you like. You had to cross the zebra line at all times.
We got to our hotel for check in and get our meal coupons too before we head to our rooms. Inside our room, it was quite narrow and small. According to Jenny, space is very expensive. But one very unique thing is that the floor is very warm. You can even sit on it. Don't worry. It won't burn you, I guarantee ;). After we washed up, it's time for bed.
To be continue.......
