This is my first time travelling in Korea.
What did I find? My beloved Poppy at one of the Petrol Kiosk station.
What a lovely dog. It just bring back lots of loving memories looking at such a familiar face.

Korea - Pessimon
Pessimon
This was taken from the bus during traffic jam.
Look at those pessimon that was hung there.
Wish I can grab a bite at those.
They are selling pessimon in bunch pack in red net.
Approximately 15pcs in a net.
If you do not want to buy the ready packed.
You can select your own pessimon but of course at a higher price.
This fruit is not in season yet. Next month would be a better month
for to try it out. The dried pessimon that was bought was dried last year.
They have just started to harvest the fruits.
Dried pessimon's skin is used to make tea. Locals told us not to eat
the center part of the fruits as it will cause constipation.
Korea - Nami Island
Nami Island
A flock of birds in this beautifull park.
This is the filming location of the Winter Sonata (Korean Drama),
and is famous due to this heart wrenching drama.
The drama picture/poster can be seen at nearly every corner.
The souvenirs shops also sell related products.
What is more surprising then to find our Merlion sitting in the park itself.
This place is still under construction.
Korea - Jeju - Teddy Bear Museum
Visited the Teddy Bear Museum at Jeju Korea.
This teddy looks normal on the outlook. But a closer view will reveal the 24k gold thread embedded in it.
First read about it in the newspaper and never imagine myself coming face to face with the real teddy.
With gold prices increasing in value, this teddy is precious.
Oh gosh! Louis Vuitton Teddy.
When they first mentioned this LV teddy, I imagined the whole teddy to be made in LV monogram leather.
But it was only dressed in LV coat with a LV case.
The price for this teddy is Kor Won 229,783,793.00.
Approximate SGD 275,740.55 (Rate @ 0.0012).
This is the Swarovsky Teddy. Looks really cool.
The crystal is kind of large (on the vest) and didn't bling well
as compared to the small crystalls.This three teddy looks skinny
and not those fluffy round teddy that we get use to. Not that
adorable and cute. But they are certainly very expensive.
This is my favourite. Teddy round and fluffy.
I got the badges. Am surprised and glad to see the real teddy.
This one really capture my heart. Its so adorable.
Wish I could read what's written (in korean) on the board.
Korea
这是青瓦台. 总统办公的地方.
这是银杏. 从没看过. 现在知道它原来是这个样子,而且臭到不行!
我的最爱为和那么臭. 这可能就是opposite attract.
两排的银杏树, 就相黄金一样, 站岗在路两旁, 好美啊.
Korea
哇!好兴奋.好久没有出国了. 现在的离境处已是自动化了.
把护照放进去,第一道门便会开启. 再把拇指放在扫描器上,第二道门便会开启.
这样就算顺利通过. 如果手指纹路不清楚,就得用原始的通道了.
抵达汉城的第一道韩国料理. BBQ五花肉和白菜汤.
烤五花肉的油飞溅四方. 这道料理可为惊险万分啊.
带眼镜的朋友可得把眼镜护好. 饱餐一吨后, 您的眼镜可会有斑斑的油点啊!
不知道他们在做什么. 看他们的衣服漂亮变拍下了.
后来问了地陪黄小姐才得知这是示威行动.
只有两个人默默站在那, 没喊口号.

Giant Peas!
I called this "giant peas". Or beans. I have no idea how big this is going to grow. But to date its size is about 8 inches long and 2 inches wide. How long or huge is going to grow? Its actually an eco-green plant hidden in a egg shell. Just pour water into it and the beans will sprout out from the egg shell in a week. Later we transfer it to a pot. And...ta..da...it has since grown into a very big peas or beans. Its should be very sweet. Because it attracted alot of ants. You can compare the little baby bean in the other photo with the grown one. From a pink flower, into a baby bean and into this huge thing of which I doubt its matured and ready for eating. Its pretty hard at touch. No furry leaves and smooth texture.
Above is the flower of the beans.
Butterfly Photo
Beautifull butterfly captured in motion - drinking water. Look at the colour of the wings. Its so nice and changes under the light. Nature is so wonderfull and full of beauty.
