6 Days Korea Tour ~ Day 1 (25 oct 09)

This is our first trip to korea. Either levin or myself speaks hangul or a fan of korean drama. But I was really keen to see maple leave and after much consideration I decided to take up the challenge to draft out an itinerary from scratch for a 6 days F&E trip to korea. We took the midnight SQ flight and reach incheon at 720am. Took an airport limo bus to Seoul, call our apartment Mr Ko to pick us up, dropped our luggage and here we are in Seoul.......

First stop, lunch cum shopping at Myeongdong which is 10 min walk from our apartment.
Next destination ~ The Seoul Tower. The cable car station is a 15 min slope walk from our apartment. The walk wasn't that bad especially the weather is very cooling and we actually went back to the apartment to rest for more than 1/2 hr.
The cable car station to Seoul Tower. The cable cabin has only standing room with a capacity of abt 20 to 30 pax.We reached the Seoul Tower. The yellow leaves are the most beautiful among all the other color - purple, red, orange and yellow. Levin thinks so too.

Another attraction at the Seoul Tower is the Teddy Bear Museum. There are only 3 in Korea, ie Seoul, Sokcho and Jeju.The bears are so cuddlabe and even charlie could not resist them.The Museum uses teddy bear to illustrate the ancient and modern korea. I personally prefer the olden days display which is more interesting and very well presented with all the fine details. Some of the teddy bears can even moved and danced with music.
After which, we went for dinner and back to the apartment for an early night. Charlie was so tired that she actually slept throught dinner time and skipped her meal and milk while yy was so "stone" siting on the chair facing his port cultet rice but not eating much.
