korea is damn cold.. like freezing... the lowest experienced was bout -10 degrees.. was shivering all the time...and most of us ended up like eskimos.. haha.. practically grabbing any sweaters,never mind the colour mismatch... and whenever there are heaters ard.. the first thing is to run next to it.. damn funny.. at times like this..we wished we'r back in s'pore.. sighs..but oh well..winter's great too! anyways.. there weren't any snowfall though cos appararently it's DRY and cold weather there.. so ya.. wat a pity! tour guide said that usually there'll be snow n stuff.. i guess its jus not our luck! grr...

foodwise.. hmm... this i must say tt.. korean fd sucks..u have kimchi,all types of veg on the table everyday.. barbecued pork or steamboat(tt kind where u jus put water and throw in the veg,no taste!) as for my mum and me... we are left w our maggi mee-s fr s'pore and ya.. once in a while.. 2 plates of mixed veg w rice.. urgh.. and yep.. bread everyday 4 us too... haha.. cant blame the koreans thou.. cos apparently.. fd to them is not tt impt..for wat rank top is their appearance,2nd-hse,3rd-car then comes fd.. there fore not tt much interest into preparing gd food.. haha.. yep.. as i was saying... yes.. koreans are very brand-concious.. fr top to bottom-all branded.. from those lil kids to old pple even...they wld rather spend their $$ on these than on food.. unlike s'poreans..(fd all the time..) haha.. yep yep..
