Seoul searching: Day 2


We woke up at 5am today to go to Mount Sorak National Park for a cable car ride and a little hike to the peak. It was sooo sooo sooo beautiful, it's indescribable. The tour guide told us to hold our photo taking frenzies (our group was the worst in this sector) but we couldn't resist but to snap a few. I mean, u cannot reverse sunrise, and we are only here ONCE... so it's justified to be rebellious ;)

The view from the cable car was amazing, like a postcard, with 3 shades of gold, red and brown leaves and a little stream with white pebbles. We then went for a little hike to the peak, and the higher we went, the view got better and better. Even my camera could not keep up with my photo snapping that the battery was almost flat by 9am. :) It was all worth it :)

After Mount Sorak, we were off to Everland... something like a Movie/Dream world sorta thing, Korean style. Was a little skeptical at first, because after all, these places are all the same. But I must say these Korean trained animals are awfully intelligent! The sea lions can brake dance to clubbing music, they even train guinea pigs, geese, zebras, monkeys to act like humans etc etc...and I had a thought... does this mean that the animals are Korean? The parrots did speak in Korean... :) So animals can be trained in all languages. ;) We also went on a wild life safari and saw life lions, tigers and cutest of all, many bears standing up begging for food... so adorable. Always wanted to go on a Night Safari so this fulfilled it for me :)

We also amused ourselves later at the souvenir shops with many crazy pictures which had to be censored on this blog so I don't embarrass myself in public! :) Sometimes it's the company and not necesarily the tour that makes my trip "seoul" fun!!! :D
