korea trip - day 3

this morning's breakfast was at a very nice restaurant in the hotel called Rosemary Coffee Shop. the kids were very puzzled why the coffee shop in korea is so atas as compared to our typical coffee shops in sg. hahahahahaha. 



its really damn cool to see one big group of people in pink. 




today is blazer day again because we are going to another korean school - wooshin high school. thank goodness the weather is quite cooling in korea and i wun perspire. in sg if i wear blazer confirm gone case.


after breakfast we went to Andong Hahoe Folk Village. this folk village is very famous in korea and queen elizabeth visited this folk village before. wow~


must take a shuttle bus to the folk village from the tourist bus parking area. pls do not misunderstand that my kids are all inconsiderate who dun offer their seats to the teachers. they did offer to me and i politely declined. :)







so peaceful~ so tranquil~ this place gives me the zen feeling~ and i like the 101 dalmatian umbrella. hahaha.


and then... disaster struck upon us. it started to rain. and it rain heavier and heavier. the rain is so heavy that orchard road will have a flash flood again. thank goodness the folk village got no flash flood which means the folk village has a better drainage system than the well-modernised orchard road. even with our umbrellas we were all wet. including our shoes and socks. the rain was just too strong and powerful. all of us were practically shivering. :(


our next destination was wooshin high school. it will take us 4 hours to reach there. imagine all of us, feeling cold, with wet socks and wet shoes. super gao3 wei4 to the max. 


ok we finally reach the school, which was about 4 pm. the school looks pretty quiet and most of the korean students were gone. most probably lessons have ended and they all went back home to study. the welcome was definitely not as happening compared to weolsan middle school. 


and my 4 special boys were super disappointed because wooshin high school is a boys school. hahahahaha. they cant collect anymore disposable gfs in their digital cameras. 


so the teachers brought us to a tour around their hostel and school compound. 





i am such a poser. hahahahahaha.


after that we proceeded to their band room. our band students join their band for a combined performance. i think its really cool to have such an exchange.





and then it is the typical group photo session. how predictable can it get. hor ms juliana tan? hahahaha.




this is their chin-up bars.


after the group photo session we went back to the band room. its photo frenzy again but not as wild as compared to the frenzy at weolsan middle school. me and my special ones (especially the boys) were kinda bored so we stayed outside the band room. 


my 4 special boys really love the tour guide.





hahahahahahaha~ so sweet~


more sweet photos to show you:



two of them are really cute and adorable. 


after the school visit we proceeded for dinner. dinner was at a gigantic ship! damn cool.






and then we checked in our hotel, which we will be staying there for 2 nights. the hotel room is really small, as compared to diamond hotel and daegu gs plaza. but this is not the smallest i had seen. casa real hotel @ hk was even smaller. :p


they got a kitchen, which i think was quite redundant for us.




after the debrief and reflection writing with the kids, the three adults went to explore the streets. its super shiok to walk the streets of seoul in such a cooling weather. and we stop over at this homely restaurant run by a few ajummas. ordered food to eat and a bottle of soju to drink! my first time drinking soju! :)




sinful ah sinful~






i love korea!
