dumb me, the dongdaemun shopping trip was only at day5 not day3 haha... no wonder i thought how come i bought my jeans so early into the trip... anyway this post is all sceneries, since the south korean land is 70% mountainous.. this day is the day of travelling, as up to 6hours will be spent on bus -_-

as we left the ski resort i tried taking down some photos of the mountains we went past.. later we are going to go up one of them! now that i cant seem to upload 5 at one go, oh well one by one then..

note how the climate changes when we advance... no more snow!

ok then we reached a spot where we can take a cable car up to the mountain, where we completed the journey on foot to the top..

wow snow... nt really expecting to see it again...

did i say that the whole route up the top is frozen? literally... we have to grab guiding ropes to prevent us from falling, and to slip uncontrollably down the mountain..

the pile of rock there is the topmost part of the mountain, and there's a trail of guiding ropes up towards there.. a pity that no one wanted to go up there :S

WTH is THAT?! bigfoot in korea?! XD no la it's just anohter adventurous korean auntie climbing up... when i looked back i wonder where were my parents.. turned out that they climbed down again -.-" c'mon when will be the next time we will be back here in mt.seorak? perhaps no more.. i decided to climb up, hoping someone can follow suit and the rest of the teens could come up with me.. i took this photo

and realised the rest were making their way down -_- okok whatever so i had to lanlan make my way down in order not to be left behind.. in the process i took this photo accidentally..

oh well, close up shot of snow, or ice, or frozen tracks :S and one last photo beofre i leave mt.seorak for gd, my return depends on the future of earth 50 years from now..

when we reached the ground level, we were directed to a Shinhungsa Temple, where an iconic Buddha of Peace, erected to pray for everlasting peace and union of the two korean nations.. my my, what a giant!

manx, taking a photo of it in my handphone literally blessed it from harm's way (but i dropped it twice after returning >.< )

i took some more photos of the mountains before i leave, but i guess mountain pics dont appeal to others as much as to me, juz one more nice one...

ok done! back to the bus i really forgot what happened next, i just remembered watching banquet, u know the zhang ziyi movie whose ending dont make any sense to me.. fast forward to dongdaemun, u know why i realised it is at day5? cos of this photo

lolx if u say go dota in singapore, it means go lan shop and play the game... but in seoul, it means go dongdaemun! hahaha...

nothing interesting inside, except one aquarium shop.. guess what they sell..?

FISH PACKS!! LITERALLY! this is where creativity goes overboard, selling pet fishes in packets, like some refill pack of detergent? goodness me... they also sell some perculiar stuffs like this

puffer fish! hahaha...

then dinner is already mentioned in day3, so no point repeating...

the trip is fast coming to an end! and it's a gloomy x'mas eve

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
