Hello...........Gwen !

Chloe and me were at the Gwen Stefani concert last Tuesday, 21 August 2007, courtesy of JeanRichard, the edgy Swiss watch brand. While I have heard of her name before, I wasn't really a fan of hers. Her music of which I had a taste of that night was interesting but way advanced for my liking. Nevetheless, her energetic performance and the excellent dancers certainly made it an interesting show for all of us. What was suprising was we saw many celebrities and notable people (ie. Datuk & Datins) going for the concert as we queued to enter the hall. That surprises me as I didn't knew she was so popular, with the young and the old. Also, apparently she had a Malaysian connection - her father in-law is a Malaysian !

Sarang Heyo ! - Day 2

Day 2 started off with an off site breakfast where buffet were served. It was to be another tiring day for us as we headed to Chungu Lake for a boat ride. The scenery was nothing spectacular, Vietnam's Halong Bay was better. Furthermore it was drizzling. An hour later, we moved on to Suwon to visit the old fortress city of Hwasong. From Suwon we proceeded to Everland, Korea's version of Disneyland! Just as we were to enter the themepark, it started to rain heavily. However, there was no turning back, and we went through the guided tour in the rain.

We ended the day around 6:00pm when we arrived at our destination - Danyang Hotel. Another shabu-shabu dinner awaited us at the hotel restaurant. We were soon to be shocked when we checked into our hotel room, an empty room with no bed! Never in my whole life have I stayed in a hotel with no bed. We panicked and searched for help only to realized that the floor mat was our accommodation for the night! As we were too tired, we slept right through to the next morning while it rained heavily outside.

Anyong Haseyo ! Day 1

" Anyong Haseyo ! ", greeted us, as we walked into the Incheon International Airport of the land of kimchi. We finally arrived in South Korea, tired and restless at 09:00. There was a long queue that day and it took us almost 1.5 hours to clear immigration and collect our luggage. From the airport, we arrived at the Yeongjong Ferry Port where we took the Wolmido seagull cruise to the mainland. Along the way,we stopped by the old Chinatown of Incheon. A few picture moments later, we proceeded to the War Memorial Park. Our stomachs grumbling, we couldn't wait to have our first taste of Korean food. Soon, we reached our lunch destination, where we were treated to our first real meal for the day after the long flight - Korean Ginseng Chicken ! After lunch, the guide brought us to "Antique Street" - a tourist souvenier place. About 6:00pm, we finally reached our hotel. The Co-op Residence was near to Dongdaemun shopping area, where many of the city's fashion and accessories wholesale outlets are located. Excited, we had a quickie dinner next door and immediately wasted no time and went shopping around the Dongdaemun area. Our conquest ended around 12:00 midnight, and we were totally wrecked!
