Annyeong Hasaeyo!!
Finally I am back. I am so happy to be back home!! Actually I was already back on the night of 10 January, Sunday but I was so tired and sick. Had slight fever + sore throat + flu during the end of the trip in Korea
On the first day when I reached Korea, it was snowing very heavily. If you had watched the news, you'd have seen it being reported cos it's one of the worst snow in Korea. Everywhere was jammed heavily as no one expected the heavy snow to come so suddenly. And I was stuck in the coach for almost 6 hours.
On the 2nd day, I was dying to go home. I've never been a cold-weather person. I hate cold! I wore 2 long johns, 1 thick turtle neck, 1 wool sweater, 1 heavy thick long jacket, thermal socks, another pair of socks and boots, 2 snow caps, ear muffs, thick scarf, 2 gloves, 4 heat pads all over my body and I was still shivering. Imagine all that clothes on me.. all that weight.. argh. But well, on the positive side was good shopping and food. Food was good but I was sick of pork after a few days. They served us black pork [from black pig] almost everyday, but in different styles.
Steamboat, bbq-ed, grilled, bbq-ed and more bbq-ed. haha.
I love their stir fried rice cakes!! [炒年糕]

Unfortunately, I have to apologise to spree-ers who asked me to buy from Skinfood. I planned to buy on the last 2 days cos the tour guide told us she'd bring us to the cosmetic shop in Seoul so she asked us not to buy in Jeju. But she did not tell us that there's no Skinfood where she is bringing us to. =( So I didn't buy Skinfood.. Very very sorry!
One of the places I really loved was the teddy bear museum. Firstly I love teddy bears.. I've got a few of them at home and they've got names! My husband thinks I'm crazy to actually refer to my bears by names, as if they're humans. And here's a picture of the bears used in Princess Hours. I love that drama!
I spoke abit of Korean there but I guess I sounded funny cos everytime I said something in Korean, the Koreans there would reply me back either in Mandarin or English. If not, when they replied me in Korean, I can hardly catch what they say cos they speak really fast.
I am so grateful for being born in Singapore, the weather may be hot sometimes but at least we don't have to put on 5 layers of clothings everyday. My face and hands are peeling now and it feels horrible.
Okie I've already replied all mails. Many sprees have arrived and I'm dedicating the whole day today to sort them out. I'd try my best to do the invoicing today as well =)
Oh yes, I'd be opening sprees either tonight or tomorrow. More likely tomorrow cos I'd be busy today! haa. do let me know what are the sprees u'd like to see ya. email me!
love,sherry
