Winter Sonata Nami Island

Now I understand why it is called a packaged tour.... everything is so PACKED in one day... you wake up at 5.30/6am and have to be on the bus at 7.30am..... Gosh!!!

Whether you like it or not, you have to go along with the group... if you are feeling sick, tired, restless, nausea, hungry, you need to persevere, as for me, I always like to answer nature calls more frequent than others........ (someone commented next time wear pampers! LOL)

Ok.......after our Korean costume wearing funtime, we continued on our journey and our next destination was Nami (Namiseom) Island where the famous Korean series Winter Sonata was filmed.

this is the jetty to Nami Island

my girl felt sick here..
vomited just after she got down from the bus

while waiting, we warmed up our legs standing here..

time to catch the ferry....

someone is pouting.. wanna cry liow.. poor girl...

meanwhile Andy was admiring the cold wind....

and suddenly Aaron said we were approaching the island...

the first thing that greeted us was this ostrich....

and the beautiful snowy scenes...

they called this Winter Sonata ...

now my kids are watching the series!!

you can have 2 walking paths..
one is slippery and one is not..

I was being cautious... too cautious..
I ended up slipping and fell on the ground...
(will show in my next post)

Before the Fall...
One for the Album...

  3. That is very special...this is the first I have seen people warming their legs like this. How come they didn't show us this in movie or drama?

  7. The 'pack'aged tour is not bad... By looking at those places you visited, it's soooo value for money. Which agent hah?

  8. Weather in Korea is really cold... my parents are still in Seoul... and my dad is complaining that no matter how much he wear, it's still cold when he goes out. But each time they come back to Msia, they're gonna complain that Msia is too hot. Ish ish ish...

    Did you go to the 'Full House' bungalow? That place is nice too...

  9. Someone took a picture of you when you fell? Ouch! Hope you didn't get hurt! So you and your girl were both very sick on this trip? And yet you are still smiling!

  10. I prefer package tours. Just follow, no need to worry about anything...but I hate it because there are always very inconsiderate people who are always late - the same people all the time...and they always behave like nothing has happened. Real kurang ajar!

  19. The view was simply breathtaking. I only joined package tour once and thereafter I prefer to be on my own. :) Though a lot of research to be done before the trip but it's all worthwhile.
