Yeo Si Min's holiday reflection

I went to Korea with my family on a tour. After we arrived at Incheon Airport, we went to eat the famous Ginseng chicken soup. 
Next, we went to Doota where it has mountains of clothes, bags, shoes and stuffs. It is a shopping paradise!! 
After that, we sat our tour bus to Gimpo airport to take our one hour flight to Jeju island. Jeju island looks as big as Singapore from what I see and it turns really dark when it's only 6pm there.
We rested one day at the hotel and our Jeju island adventure started the next day. We visited the mandarin orange farm and tasted orange chocolate for the first time. 😋 We went to the Glass palace, Teddy's bear museum and horse riding. 
We went to have our dinner after our visit to these places. After our dinner we went to the Ice musuem where it has beatiful ice carvings and a ice slide. 
Next is the trick eye museum. This is actually a place where I wanna go a lot because I have seen my friends going there and it's very funny and cool. 
This marks the end of our Jeju adventure. The next day we went back to Seoul and have our lunch. Next is our long awaited EVERLAND! Yay 😻
Next we went to Vivaldi Park where it's the ski resort. Almost all Koreans know how to ski from a very steep mountain slope and the view from our room was simply majestic. We went skiing the next day. We were taught the basics by our tour guide. It was really hard to move around when I'm not on a slope because I'm too heavy haha😹. 
After our fruitful skiing experience, we went to the Ocean Park next to the skiing mountains. As it was really cold, we could only go to the indoor pool and it was not really fun. The most interesting thing of all is they do not bathing cubicles for women. Every girl and woman just go naked walking around when they finished bathing. I was really embarrassed that time 😹. 
Right after that, we went to a new hotel and stayed there for one night. The next day, we took a ferry to Nami island which is the place where the renowned drama 'Winter Sonata' was filmed. 
We went to watch a non verbal artistic comedy "Drawing Show" after our shopping at Shinchon University street. It was very hilarious and they were really professional in their drawing. We travelled to Gangnam province and stayed there for 2 nights. During the 2 days there, we went to Gyeongbuk Palace. 
We went to the local cosmetic shops. There's like hundred over cosmetics there. Ginseng showroom is place we visited too. After all this, we went to Lotte world and there were like millions of people as it was Christmas and I only get to ride one attraction ><. The next day, it was goodbye Korea 😢. It was a fruitful and enjoyable experience although I had food poisoning in the end.
