대한민국 Part #1: Walks in palaces, and teddy bears of all sizes

AND WE’RE OFF!

15th September 2018

I can never sleep well on planes… but at least I now am well-prepared to take on the dry air and crying babies with a mask and IEMs. After an intermittent nap and TV on the plane (eh sorry I always sit budget airlines LOL) we finally arrived in kimchi land (YAS I LOVE KIMCHI):

Changdeok Palace

Oh yes. With much reluctance I followed the family in this tour group (see said yellow flag ^) but never again!! I like my free and easy routine better HAHA. Though I have to say the food was really good I gained like 2kg maybe ❤️

Everybody couldn’t get in so we had to crowd around the entrance HAHA ^

Secret Garden (Huwon)

The sister was very taken by the lotus leaves but having killed many house plants in 27 years of existence I obviously have no interest in them I just followed instructions and took many photos.

Lunch

In the streets of Seoul. I love how each city has its own distinct identity, even when they pretty much look the same. Perhaps it’s the smells, and how the paths feel on our feet. Or maybe because everyone is speaking in Korean.

Off to our first proper meal!

Dinner

First taste of Jeju with their abalone (which was still pretty much alive and moving about in my soup) ❤️ IT WAS VERY NICE

Sorry we were too busy eating to take any more photos of other stuff HAHA.

The night ended with banana milk and an episode of Show Me The Money (it was fun, I like listening to rap HAHA) 🍌
