What seemed like a long time at the time in actual fact flew by just like that.
our brief Korea : Jeju Island break was meant to be a battery reboot trip, but instead turned into a major fatigue boost. you'd think joining a tour would make things easier coz after all, how hard is it when all you have to do is get on n off a bus when told to. easy-peasy! well try doing it that about 15 times in a day, ontop of which only takes no more than 10mins between each stop. could the island be any smaller! *smack my own head* at one point we got off to go to a orange farm, to find that oranges weren't in season so what do u know, all the oranges we saw were fake plastic oranges hung on by the farmers to CREATE a orangy farm scene for visual effects. even the ones on the ground were painted kinda brown to make it seem like they were half rotten. but none-the-less it was a pleasureable trip since we got to eat tons of fresh uni by the sea on the last day. *weeeeeeeee* thankyou to the at-first-weird-n-creepy-but-then-turned-out-to-be-very-nice-gambling-dude in our tour for telling us where to find those "sea-women" who sell fresh uni. (see picture above)

after getting the chance to use some of my drama-tv learnt broken korean, im all the more motivated to learn the language. doubling my all things korean craze. unfortunately no sight of dobboki (rice-cakes) this time, though i did see those microwave packet ones at 7/11 but its just not the same as spotting a dobboki truck by the side of the road, wok full of flaming red sauce covered rice cakes!!! we want the real deal eating it outta those polyester bowls!!!!! guess i'll just have to pray for better luck next time. (i will see u there zandra!! haha) i propose we shall all meet up there! that would be so cool!! (THATS SO COOL!!) also it would be alot cheaper than holland. since we all know that holland is a little out of reach right now. money wise that is. well, if anyones interested, let me know coz im all up for it!! haha

ps. stay safe all my friends, especially those in the kansai area what with the H1N1 hope you guys are still all alive n dandy!
much love~
