My Korea Trip
Hi guys!
Its been 13 days since we entered into the new year and I just came back from my incentive trip in Korea. I really had a great time over there especially when it snows because it was my first experience in snow country. As mentioned earlier, i will do a short write up on my trip and here is it:
During our first day, we actually experienced the worse snowing in korea for the past 40 years! The total height of the snow was more than 30cm and it caused huge traffic jam! As a result, we took about 5 hours from the airport to the Coex Hotel where we were staying. It was totally freezing but it felt awesome with the kind of weather. Something that I never get to experience in my whole life.
Well after the 3 days 2 night with my company, I continued with my post trip tour to Jeju Island and Seoul where I get to try skiing! Again it was an amazing experience skiing together with the whole bunch wonderful people from my company. Everyone was so sporty and all of us had real fun time. Jeju island is really a beautiful place for honeymood couple to go due to its scenery. Even went to one place where the owner grows a tangerine garden! So beautiful!
Before the ski, I was fully geared up and thought it was going to be real cold since the weather has been about -15 degree. But God knows that after 2 hour of skiing, I was literally sweating inside my body! It was damn hot and first time that I sweated in korea especially out in the cold. I did also tried out hourse riding in Seoul! Riding in snow weather and it was so cool =)
The last day was really crazy for most of us because we all spent ALL our money in 3 shops and some of them went on to swap their credit card to purchase more! 
We were really out there to stimulate Korea economy! Many spent S$1000-3000 on famous Korean Gin Seng and I can tell you that the people were all into impulse buying because of the lack of time and peer perssure. But it was fun seeing people carrying big bags out of the shop with the smile on their face.
Next shop was Faceshop where it was even more fun because it was where the products are cheap and affordable to everyone! It’s where you can see men and women went illogical when it comes to cheap cosmetic. Most of us were amazed by the demonstration done by the sales-girl on their Korean brand ‘OBDO’ Even I also can’t resist the temptation to buy many products for myself! Haha…
Well last stop before we headed to airport was at the Supermart where they sells kimchi, seaweed and local manufactured products. Things were not that cheap but again because we were in Korea for the last hour, people went on to their final crazy shopping spree! Boxes and boxes of the seaweeds and chocolates crunch were being carried on to the bus. I can only say that our people are all quite rich!
When it comes to the food, I had only one comment and that was an Excellent choice to go with the tour because they chose all the nice different type of korean food for us to try. Every meal was good and everyone of us just keep asking the people to add rice, kimchi, meat etc. We ate till we were so full to be able to keep our body warm for the next 6 hours Basically I tried the BBQ, steamboat, gin seng chicken soup, and many others local food. Thumbs up for the food experience!
Some pictures to prove =)
Alright that should be all for my korea trip. =) Will be looking forward to my next trip which is Perth! Meanwhile i will have to work hard for my Barcelona and Yokohama!
Jia you!
