Seoul searching: Day 5
Last day in Seoul. Can't believe a week has gone by. Time flies when you are having fun. Looking extremely stoned due to my lack of sleep the night before, we could not even think properly on what to do today. We asked to break from the tour but since we have fulfilled our retail quota in the wee hours of dawn and feeling extremely broke... we decided to stay with the tour.
Went to visit some Kimchi place whereby they let us make our own Kimchi. Kinda... the cabbage was already all washed and soaked and the "preservatives" were all set. We just needed to rub the preservatives on the cabbage. Nevertheless, great fun coz we have been eating kimchi for breakfast, lunch and dinner so it made sense to learn to make it. In olden days, Korean women who can't make kimchi would have difficulties getting married! Man, these people do love and take their kimchis seriously!
At the same venue where we have the Kimchi making, we could also wear traditional Korean costumes to take photos. The costumes were pretty... but it made us look real fat. Like 5 months pregnant or something... hahaha.
Thank goodness we stayed with the tour coz we were brought to Sichon, a nice shoppin place. Due to lack of funds, the retail fun died down for us. But the place really reminded me of Melbourne... the little shops along the road with many things to purchase.. something like Brunswick St. Very lovely.
And that was that... we went souvenir shopping at the last minute. Always impulsive as we tried to finish the wons. Had just enough money for lunch at the airport. And off we went home.... back to reality!
It was a great trip!! And even more so, the company I went with! 4 crazy people who are photo freaks, shopaholics and are comfortable being ourselves just made the trip so much more memorable as we created our own fun in every situation (even the fact we could not understand fully what the tour guide was saying).... and except for that ginseng tour which even photo opportunities could not be thought of *grins* .... all in all, I love you guyz heaps!!!!!
