Day 1.
Our flight was at 11.30PM. So basically we had to spend the night in the plane. Which TOTALLY sucked because if you're stuck in economy class, you'd barely have space to sit comfortably, what more sleep. Really envy those people who usually travel by first class or business class. :(
Fortunately for me, I got the window seat. Unfortunately for Chia Li, she had to sit beside this korean uncle who brought a stupid big ass map, which he put on the floor. So the map laid across the floor, beneath his, Chia Li's and my seat. =___= damn dulan. I tried pushing the end of the map out, so it goes out to the aisle. As a sign that he shouldn't put his map across our seats. But wth, he pushed it back in. The least he could do is put it in the overhead compartment what lol =.=
Yeah, ANYWAYS, after much tosses and turns, we finally arrived!
Didn't take any pics in the airport though. Here's one vain self-shot in the bus! :D
With Chia Li. I like my hair here! So ang ang LOL.
Our first destination - the Gyeongbokgung Palace. Honestly, there's nothing much there. It's really empty cuz apparently the Japanese demolished parts of it and yada yada. So they rebuilt it. Which, in my opinion, meant much less because this isn't the original.
The main entrance + me
Some (wannabe) artsy-fartsy shot of the interior of the main hall.
Reddish hair again! :D I LIKE!

Basically we just bummed around and very semangat-tedly took pics around the palace. First day what, of course semangat.
It was scorching hot that afternoon btw. And we had this for lunch:
Self-pan-fry Korean pancake and veggies.

And the restaurant didn't have air conditioners! :( I guess it's not common there. Most of the restaurants weren't air conditioned. Oh me, pampered Malaysian. Hahah :D
After lunch, we went shopping down the street. Didn't take any pics cuz shopping > all. :) Also we were given only one hour to shop. We managed to buy clothes though! :) I kinda forgot the shopping area name but it's near Ewha University if I'm not mistaken. The clothes are nice and considerably cheap! I bought a pair of stockings for RM9. :D :D :D
Next stop, Jeju island! TWO freaking flights in a day, damn. :( It was horrible. I started to feel nauseous and sick because of the turbulence.
The first destination was Teseum. Short for Teddy bear Museum. It's really nice. Like as if you're in a world of soft toys! Wish it was bigger though. :(
Pretty mer..bear?
Me with teddieeeess

Okay lah, enough with teddies.
Due to the rain, we couldn't do much that day. So we went for dinner right after visiting Teseum.
On the way there, the tour guide gave us free gifts in courtesy of Teseum! Too bad the bears look cacat. Must be from the rejected batch :x
Dinner! Tofu+tauge soup and side dishes. Grilled mackerel, pan friend spicy pork, kimchi, etcetc.

Credits to Chia Li for the food pics. I was so hungry I didn't have the energy to take out my camera. It always happens when it's meal time. So, all of the food pics except the rice cake one, are and will be taken from Chia Li's. :D
The hotel we stayed at in Jeju was fabulous. Although the room was small, it was nonetheless cozy, modern, clean, and most importantly, not creepy. It has yellow light! Can't stand hotels with florescent lights, seriously creepy.
Didn't take pics of the rooms though :( AIH. Regret regret.
So.. I googled the pics! Smart or what!
It's tiny, I know. Bear with me.
Don't know why the room looks so small here. It's more spacious, I swear.
Clean and bright toilet!

If I'm ever going to Jeju island again, I think I'm gonna choose this hotel once more :)
Okay, this is the end of my first day in Korea. Blog next time!
