Korea Day 29 to Gyeonggi-do!

2nd school tour to Korea folk museum at gyeonggi-do, then Taekwondo and end with Noraebang at night with friends!

We woke up early, walked over to school in the rainy day... I remembered we climbed the slope with umbrella and me wearing slippers... lol road was pretty slippery

Anyway, we went to school early cos... we wanted to secure the bus MoA is in! but then, due to uncertainty, we changed to bus 7? we were in bus 11 by the way... End up, bus 7 tour guide is the lady who brought us around during the first school tour to Gyeong Bok Goong! We dont really like her cos she doesnt know how to control her tour group leh...

And despite being early, we couldnt be with MoA :( and I went, "모아야 어디에가요???? ㅠㅠ"

Oh! and in korea, you have to put on seat belt for tour bus when in expressway!

Anyway, reached the place!








traditional korean game!






Performance!


Performance was pretty repetitive and I was at the back so I couldnt see a thing!! Hence, I went around to snap photos when nobody was around... No photobombers!






















Photobomber!








Crowding around the prison's torturing equipments! Seeing photo experiencing it themselves! and spot MoA!


MoA!









There's a prison room that tourists get to enter and pose for a photo... I thought it was pretty creepy so I didnt! There are others who did it though!















대장금!







Chimney!




성균관 스캔들! 유천오빠!!







A REAL COW!








some statue that protects the village. yin and yang. male and female.





Restrooms are available! No worries!





White horse!




Head over to the wedding ceremony!







entrance of the bride!

















Lunch afterwhich! we dont have to pay for this! I suppose we have already paid for it under the Activity Fees before the exchange itself... Bulgogi for all! it was okay! For vegetarian, Bibimbap is available!

There are food place, souvenir shops, convenience shop, kpop shop, restrooms, dessert store avail in the museum!



after, its free time! we went exploring!






bus over to taekwondo venue!

it started off with the students in taekwondo suit performing to us. omg their performance seriously beyond words can explain! when they kick, punch, yell in unison, its so fantastic! u can feel their energy even far away!! its just goosebumps... should have taken a video!!

then, we were all told to get up and get down to the ground and try taekwondo! so we tried a few of their moves! we were even asked to try hitting the cushion; both kicking and punching! a few of friends went away to toilet hahah i guess they didnt want to participate! whichever it is, its pretty fun experience! i mean, we dont get to learn everything, its just trying... and since you are here in korea and taekwondo is their national sport, why not try it? no harm! worse come to worse, the students laugh at you only lo! but there are so many people trying it! laugh together lo! hahah


see skku students infront of the taekwondo people? we are actually waiting for our turn to break our pine wood! we were given one and a marker after the taekwondo experience! suppose to break what you hate, or what wishes u want to fulfill!




show you my wood later!


photo taking!


we got off outside SKKU! and then, we went to check out for Jimjilbang in hyehwa cos I read somewhere that there is one! we randomly asked one teaching assistant, and she was very kind to bring us there... partly cos she's going towards the direction to board her bus too


This is the one! Its opposite Kang Ho Dong bbq restaurant in hyehwa! Can get here from the Hyehwa station, exit 4, walk between the lane of ZioZia and Baskin Robbins... you should see a green colour convenience shop (forgot what its called), then theres a lane at the left side! Turn into the lane! u will see Kang Ho Dong man size poster!


The pricing! this is pretty small... smaller than dragonhill spa and siloam i think...

Experience (we did jimjilbang on another day):
1) On the first level where you find the counter, once you enter, you have to take off your shoes.
2) On the first level, too, you have the shoes locker. You keep your shoes in the locker assigned.
3) Head over to the ladies level for changing/showering/clean up/locker.
4) at the level, you will find the naked ladies and ahjumma! HAHHA
5) At the level too, you find your own locker, keep your bags and valuable. Change into the jimjilbang clothes. NO TOILETS. you are suppose to bathe then change... but we were shy and bathed earlier so we told the ahjumma that and we just change our clothings...
6) For jimjilbang, head over to common area for the heated and cold rooms!



we went back to the samgyetang shop that we initially wanted to eat at but was unfortunately closed!
The entrance!



the interior! we went into the room. so have to take off our shoes!








and... my pine wood! HAHHA the taekwondo guy told me, he saw snsd... walao.. like envy much la
But well, i saw them too! but that was during concert! I wish to see them up close and like get to talk to them or something? even if its awhile. but heh impossibru! cos im sure many many fans out there want that too!


And we met up with MoA and yuxuan's JYJ friends for Noraebang at night! thats the last ktv session in korea! and I finally know how to control the system hahhah
