韩国🇰🇷 Our work-hard-play-trip

And so it's been ages since I stepped into this space. Yet again, a hundred and one things happening in between. So here are some updates about my life, not that it will interest anyone, but to keep myself in check and leave some memories for reminiscence decades later.

Touched down on 22/11 and had one of the first Korean meal, loads of appetizers, and Koreans have no qualms about food wastage, really.

And we went to enjoy the autumn colors at Yeouido Park, which made a really nice evening stroll. That is after we've done some fretting over our lesson plans. (It's a semi work trip~) 

It makes me wonder why we only have garden by the bay, when parks all over everywhere else are so naturally beautiful!!

And then the 辣炒年糕 at Hongdae Street for some shopping and soaking into the night market atmosphere. 

The Korean Nano blocks are apparently the lastest trend here, so here I am to join in the craze.

Ok... Work time... (And many more days stuck in the hotel room working hard! fighting!!) 


And after few days of preparations, we head straight to Haegang High School to conduct 2 lessons. (Ops photos all in Chiaying's camera) 


When you have nothing to do while waiting for in the subway station, you can entertain yourselves like this:


Ok... It really depends on how cute (retarded) your personal limits are.


Brace yourself for the sun!


Welcome to Haundae Beach at Busan!!

Our fantabulous teacher- hosts who brought us around the warmed the winter nights!


Awwwww... This is why autumn is forever mersmerizing!


Sunset atop Shinsegae at Busan


Buddhist temple at the sea...

Chang An Temple on the mountain. I think you get the drift... 上山下海 on a weekend.

If you think it's all play, think again!! We worked our asses off too!

#5 Attended Music Fest where I was most impressed with the oldies alumnus back to perform for the school in the church hall.

#6 Observe English Class


#7 Our crazy prepping for final presentation 

All ends well and we can let our hair down, like finally!!!!!!!

Off we go to Jeon Ju staying in the hanok house for the weekend and Chiaying had to nurse her backaches from sleeping on the ground and we had to embrace the chills at night ;) 

 
I am getting lazy to type so just bomb you with pretty ladies k...



Oh and beautiful scenery atop the Hanok village.



Tons of mural works on the wall to end our evenings. My phone died from exhaustion of my abuse for taking so much pictures in a day.

The evening was breathtaking... (Hopefully you'll get updates from Chia Ying's fb :D)


Our lunch to give us energy before heading back to Seoul! Till then...
