The Clock Strikes 12 and its Day 2!

hihi yes! Time for the second day!

This is the most packed day that we had! Given the places that we see, pictures that we took! and especially the food that i ate HAHA!

Well! Breakfast was a real treat!

Here we have! Seafood soup! Along with side dishes like kimchi, steam egg, luncheon meat with egg and meat slices! Whats best about this!

Once again.. The soup base is clean singly refreshing for the morning! The mussels adds the sweet flavor to the soup base too! I also added the seaweed x 5 packets to eat with the soup too!

Awesome=) And that made me a happier person prepared for the day =DD

Next event was even more awesome!!!!! It was an interaction with the SAGE South Korean Teams!! Haha yep! I met some old friends there =) and made new ones too!

And so i presented about Singapore, JJC as well as my team's Winning SAGE project! (i'll add the pictures for these ones i get them!)

Whats best!! Hyewon and her sister prepared gifts for My SAGE team with Joseph and Shazwi!
Really sweet of them and they even remember that i liked BigBang =D!

Here they are! A BigBang Album, Younha Album and One by Epik high!
Simply splendid! (On top of that i ripped a DBSK and Super Junior Album that Min Wei bought hehe =X)

Right after that.. we rushed for my favourite hobby.. LUNCH!

At a Japanese Resturant though.. hmm? The idea came a little weird to me though ._. Hey we are in korea ? HAHA.
Even still i think every 1 still had....

Their fun! As we waited for the chief to prepare our food =DWell so we had some sorta Japanese pan cake!


To me! I feel that this an improved oversized Takoyaki Balls we eat haha! But hey! The It taste really good! More importantly! the serving is generous! Unlike what we eat in Singapore ._. ...
Really felt like having more of that.. But still its too oily and unhealthy =(

That was one of the small highlights... But here is the main deal!

The Gyeongbok Palace!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ROAR! (Lets start the picture Tour!)

Hmm the overview of the entrance? Haha ^^

At the Entrance as you see! The imperial guards displayed their march! Nice dressup i'll say!
The footsteps towards the imperial court!

Yea! We are the Backseatboys!

What a scenic view =)My photography improved didn't it ^^ =) here's the entertainment pavillian as said =)
Nice lake view... I wana stay there too XD

Another random shot! =D

Now now.. Mr Yuen the imperial guard! nice shades and shoes don't you think ^^ LOL

Group photo!! Mr Yuen looks good in red! haha

Wenjie! Chia Miang! and Me! ^^
Behind us was where the Empress stayed! But a pity the room is emptied ._. cause of the cold weather the tour guide said...

This is a fine dragon art piece hanging by the Emperor's Study room! =) Still look magnificant even through the passing of time!

A Sun Dial! Thats what they use to tell time in the past =) Smart ancestors ain't they!

After that we headed to the National Folk Museum! Under the Pagoda

Alot of momuments seen near the musuem.. This is the chinese Zodic the horse!
(Horses gather!!) Anyway.. Their Zodic are humaniod.. unlike those we often see in chinese temples..

This monument is used for divinations purposes... strong mix of chinese culture as you can see.


Personally! I think this is the best picture i've taken in the entire trip.. love it =)!
Tell me is its good eh! HAHA

Anyway! Before we left.. that guys and I decided to do something funnie HAHA ..
Yes! Onward towards the sky! We'll soar LOL.

So the Imperial Palace ended with a bang!..

But the fun's not over yet=p....

So we headed to Seoul Tower!!!!

Its located uphill so and we had to walk a real steep road up....

Till we saw... THE BEAR MUSUEM!

Cool! nice bear christmas tree they have haha!
Some interesting bear we saw...


A bear Peter Piper?How about a bear Sherlock Holmes
Or even a bear Mona Lisa? Cool eh!

Next! we went up the tower through a super fast evevator! and there.. the Skyline of Korea!

Haha .. or Seoul that is =)...
Nice sight seeing haha!! We hanged out around the tower for a while and some of them tried getting their faces sketch out too...

But of course.. i think i'll talk about dinner =) ! Much more interesting =D
Yes! and we came down to MyeongDong street for dinner! to prepare for the SHOPPING later hehe..

Yepyep! A nice cosy dining environment we had!


Now we have the STAR of the day.. BEEF STEW!~~~~ WEETS~
Here's what's awesome about this stew!
1. Its full of flavour, with a strong sense of herbs and beef!
2. You just don't get tired of drinking it!!!!!!!!
3. The beef has such a nice tangy feel =) 10 times nicer than what Singapore has ._.
4. I finished everything to the last drop again =D
5. The portion is really big!!!!

Here's the down side..
1. I honestly didn't touch the side dishes... (apart from a piece of Kimchi lol)

Okay=) really prepared for shopping (for food) after that!
The girls went for the face shop!! For cosmetics ._.

And i got doughnuts and tapicoa pancake with brown sugar and peanut!

Yep! its quite oily! but the crunchy mix of brown sugar and peanuts really makes you water for it!!... especially when the pancake is pipping hot and its super cold out there hehe=p

I loved day too the most =)

Okay.. hoped that you enjoyed reading too hehe!

Now! Time for awesome day 3 tomorrow =)

Heading for bed now^^

Enjoy food people!!

With Love, Ying Quan
