Anoyhaseyo, Korea! (15Sep 07)

A relaxing day. Visited the 5th biggest park in korea. Check out the scenic view~

The cresent bear, named for its white cresent look-alike chest.

The temples in Korea are usually loacted by the sea or, like this one, up on the hill. It was raining so the Buddha looks like he's crying. Anyway, the weather wasn't good during the whole trip.

Following which, we went to check in at the Yongpyong Ski Resort (the venue where most of Winter Sonata's scenes were taken). But seriously, it's summer! No ski-ing, but they utilise it as a 9-hole golf resort.

There wasn't much activities there since it's not winter. So we took a 20mins cable car to the mountain top, at 1450m above sea level.

"I'm not afraid..I'm not" - that's what on my mind.

The first thing that greeted us at 1450m above sea level - Posters of Winter Sonata.

I'm getting an overdosage of it. Anyway, I don't have much interest in it either. My fave korean drama is still Gaeul Dongwha (Autumn in my Heart) by Song Seung-heon and Song Hye-kyo!

Okay, back to the mountain top.

Meet my guide - Jeson. Though he looks like a Chinese and speaks fluent Chinese, he's a true Korean from Busan! Impressive. (After this trip, I've decided to take up Korean Language after I complete my Jap course and obtaining at least a JLPT 2.)

And here's all the 16ppl travelling together.

Doubt you can see it, but the male lead poster's mouth is damaged. Maybe too many of his fans came to kiss him (even if it's just a poster).

Here's another "mini museum" of Winter Sonata, right in front of our hotel.

At the exact spot where winter sonata actor/actress had a meal. The dishes that they ate are display on the table too. The photo frame on the window showed the moment they sat there. (Professional. They even provide evidence of their presence.)

Costumes of their school uniform in the drama. Should be a duplicate, I guess.

Not much activities but we had fun taking pictures:)
