Korea Event for May - Jun 2013

I promised myself that I must visit Korea in Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.

Last trip was in Summer, but temperature was around 20 - 25C, my friends there complained that the weather was too hot! As I was told it's hot and humid.

Horray!!! I just packed some short and sleeveless tees with average thickness of cotton material, cardigan and shawls. Should be just fine for me as it'll feel like in air-con room... No need to carry big luggage as it'll be troublesome to travel here and there as we're not joining tour. We brought 1 big and 1 small luggage. We just carried small luggage and left big luggage in my friend, Mr Kim's house as it's just few clothes for the last 3 days in Seoul and some souvenirs only.

It was still alright when we're in Seoul ^^

Omo!!! Was it called Summer? So windy and it was like air-con blown directly to me when we reached Jeju Island (shivering in cold throughout my trip).  Help... Help!!! I think if they're come to Singapore, then they will feel like being BBQ here :P

So to travel in Winter? Hahaha... not sure whether I can survive there or not! Let's not think of that first~~~

Now it's Spring!!! Flower blossoms everywhere... Everyday I saw nice photos posted on FB. Cherry blossom and flowers everywhere! Ok, I'll teleport myself there now...

If I managed to teleport there, I should be landed around Cheonggyecheon Stream as there's Lotus Lantern Festival to celebrate Buddha's Birthday...
