RMT Seoul Trip Day 7 (Last day)

Day 7 - Lotte World
Was the most excited for this day! Actually this day was suppose to be free at leisure, but we somehow convince our tutors to bring us to Lotte World. We went in the morning around 9am(?) and thank god that day was not raining! Hahah, it was my first time to theme park. Epic fail, I know. I didn't even been to Escape theme park in Singapore before. Haha, hey but my first theme park experience was Lotte World okay!






We took Viking first! Set towards the end and it was crazy! We were screaming our head off and I totally felt that my blood was going up my head when the 'ship' was heading downwards. Hahah!



The interior of Lotte World! It seems big but not really that big though!



Didn't manage to take the Giant Loop!



I didn't know my hair was THAT straight at the bottom till I see this picture. :o

Our local tour manager!


And then we head to the outdoors (Magic Island) for more epic rides! Oh ya! Koreans are so cute! They kept greeting us in English like 'Hello' and 'How are you' when they saw Dash with us. Hahah!


Mum said it look like Disneyland! 



We took this Bungee Drop thingy! We screamed like mad while going up and I totally shut my eyes while coming down! LOL! We also took a bigger version of this and that was even more crazier, I was screaming when it was going down, but till halfway I lost my ability to scream. LOL!!! You can technically feel that your spirit is leaving your body when the ride started gushing downwards! Dashani got took a video of us taking, will upload if I can! It was super hilarious!




Didn't manage to go in there though!

We took this roller-coaster ride thingy. 40 minutes wait but it's damn worth it. It's like the most awesome-st ride  ever!! Considering how usually roller-coaster will slow down at the peak but for this the speed was super fast all the way. And there was all these turns which were horizontal that you can feel that you are slipping off the seat. We screamed our head off till I feel sore in my throat. LOL! That ride was the most addictive one and I swear I will ride it again in the near future!

We ALMOST took this. HAHAHHAHA!


Group pic!

With Mr William Wong!
And they kept on saying they can't believe I took all these rides since it was my first time and I don't look like those person that will play all these. Lol! Well, I had a crazy time there and I think I lost my mind there anyway! Hahah! Tried dukbokki there for lunch and the taste was quite disappointing. Maybe it suited Korean's taste buds but all I taste is chilli. Ahhh, I miss Lotte World and that roller-coaster ride.

Around 1.30pm, we travel to the airport. Reached at 3+ and linger around till our flight at 6pm.

Beautiful sunset!


End of RMT Korea Trip! Man, I miss Korea and their weather.

RMT Seoul Trip Day 5 & 6

Day 5
First we went to the Digital Pavilion, where we get to see all of Korea's advance IT technology. The place was quite boring though, just taking pictures everywhere. I think I'm those person that are unsuitable for sightseeing. Hhaha!









Hahah! Us doing stupid movements invented by Qiwen!



Then we went to the 2002 World Cup Stadium. Not a football person so it was boring as hell for me. 


Apprently, they planned to go for a mountain climb after that but it happen to rain. Thank god. So they bought us to Shinchon Fashion Street. It was raining heavily and Qiwen and me had no umbrella. I left it in the hotel and we ended up drenched. No photos cause it's impossible to take with the rain. Oh and we happen to see this long queue of fangirls queuing up! I wonder who was that! Actually planned to wait but we had time limit. Sigh~ Bought a top for myself and a few other stuffs there!


Then they bring us back to Namdaemun to source for our merchandise. But it was raining so heavily that it was impossible to shop at all. Lunch on our own so we had our lunch first at a small restaurant which is so homely. 
I had the fried noodles which is so good. I thought it won't be spicy but actually it was so spicy once you kept on eating.
After lunch, the rain is still very heavy, we were stuck at the underground of Namdaemun for 1 hour plus? Shopped at Lotte Young and some other shopping malls. The rain then subsided a bit and we are able to walk out of those malls. Btw, those malls are exactly like ION Orchard.

So wet!!

I didn't know my camera can zoom until so close! LOL
Then we walked to some streets which is very very similar to Hong Kong and it got very crowded at night!



That day was very unfulfilling. Did nothing much and didn't source for any merchandise for confectionery that day. Changed hotel and we stayed at Valentine Hotel for the last 2 nights! I swear that those hotel we stayed had really weird names - Neighborhood Hotel, Kobos Hotel and Valentine Hotel. LOL.

There is this Lotte Mart which is near to our hotel, thus, we went there to source for our merchandise. Our pile up our trolley and everyone was looking at us with weird expressions. Hahah! They scanned our trolley from top to bottom. And the cashier ajumma even asked whether we are having a party, but I said it was for school. Their reactions are damn epic when they see our trolley. Hahah!



Watching Family Outing with our super big tv!
Day 6
Since it was the last day to officially shop on Day 6, I decided to just spend my money even if the item was expensive but acceptable. LOL! It was nice that it didn't rained on Day 6! We went to Time Square Mall, the mall was super big but the interior reminds me of NEX. We went to the E-Mart in Time Square Mall to get lots of confect items. My arms almost died when carrying the box of food. And everyone was staring at us with the box of food. LOL!


Time Square Mall
 We proceed to Insadong Antique alley afterwards. It was super crowded in the afternoon, bought a few stuffs from there too!



While walking, they had this emperor role play thingy from the past era. Everyone was so fascinated that we kept on snapping pictures. LOL





That's a job to die for! Just standing there and carrying a banner.

And we saw Jojo's (Qiwen's dog) clone! The owner told us her name is Mal-ja!
**Mal for Maltese, Ja for Yeoja (Female in Korean).**
This is how we carry our confect items back everyday!
Still waiting for some other pictures to be uploaded by my friends. Will add them in asap! Oh and did I mention that I cut my hair yesterday? It's short now and it seems nicer when it's messy with my natural curls. When it was combed and tidy it looked horrible. Hahah! I'm serious! And I told my mum that my hair will be forever messy from now on, even during presentations. Lolol!

Day 7 tomorrow! :)
