Now this is the fun part...
we went skiing!
was very enthusiastic cos its my first time skiing..
so was like very eager to put the skis on
my cus also..hahas..
ok...then we walked up the big slope to arnd the middle...
carrying our skis on our backs...
when we turned back...
the rest of the tour grp was like...sooooo far behind -_-
ok then the tourguide started teaching us how to skate
i alredy figured out how to wear them but she still wants us to
hold on and wear tgt lolls...
She ( mina, our tourguide ) asked me to demo..
finally i get a chance to ski..
then she use me to teach everybody how to brake..
which is to form an A shape with our skis
So she told me to ski away...
tt was easy to say...
what a move
i pushed myself forward with e 'sticks' and
oh shit i'm skiing downhill alrdy
they kept shouting excidedly to ask me to brake but it was dam hard
its like the skis are moving dam fast and you are to force it to form a A shape
so just zoooommed all the way down and they just stood there
busy maneuvering left and right to aviod ppl
i crashed into a lil boy eventually tho..
hahas..tt reli braked me man...lolls...
but after that..
me and my cus was skiing away
cos we learnt liao..hee..
this is the first sport i learnt the basics so fast lol..
but to walk up the slope was tiring...if onli we didnt have to...
but if we dun go up the slope we cnnt ski down
after being tired of walking up the stupid slope..
my cous and i wandered of to this area full of thick snow
stepping on it can make you sink down immediatly
my father came later and we all had a snowball fight...
(actually its just big pieces of snow...)
At arnd 1pm we went for lunch...
we had barbequed pork? Loll...
i think singapore one nicer..Hahas

Next on our iteniery is hot spring
=D
Its inside the resort itself..
hahas yes its also the DaemYung Resort,
but a different 'branch'
ok first theres this hot bath that is 42 degrees
with a 18 degrees bath beside it
ok...
the 42 degrees bath...IS FREAKING HOT
my skin was burning...
and guess what...
QINHUI WAS IN IT...
splash water on me...darn...
then i dared myself to cross over to the cold one immediatly
FREAKING COLD
omgosh...i was like...frozen there..
then i got out and ran to the 39 degrees bath..

they had this ROSE bath and GINSENG bath -_-
and many massaging pools...hahas
and theres this open air Jasmine bath
ok...the temp of air outside is arnd -minus 5 degrees...
but the spring is 39 degrees..
so you stand up...you shiver...
you sit down...you're burning hot...

Hmm later went to a shopping at some shopping centre
------------------------------------------------------
sadly that's the end of my memory. HAI WHY WAS I SO LAZY.
For the rest of the days, i went to Lotte World and another theme park i forgot.
Lotte world is the one with the famous merry go round that all drama serials tend to have
And the Stairway to Heaven Mural. LOL. Alot of ppl hear alrd jealous hahaha.
But over all, my memory of korea was that it is a very romantic and fairytale like place.
The people there were very nice ( Theres this stall vendor that gave me soup
when she saw that i was shivering at one of the places. So nice right! Can rmb until now)
And we were all eating like the koreans in their food shops. BBQ food! There was one we even took lettuce leaves and wrap the meat to eat hahaha.
It is one place to go for a romantic holiday ppl! x)
