This should be the last posting for VIP Invitation Tour. Really sorry for taking up to three months to complete blogging it.
Kim eonni was panicking searching for us when we reached IFC Mall from KBS Exhibition Hall. We're late half and hour late as miscommunication on the timing. Therefore we immediately hop to the bus and go to the Incheon airport.
Jas eonni, Tere and few other members proceed to check-in counters as their flights were earlier. Lucky, Naz and me were waiting at Lotteria. Kim eonni ordered food for us first while waiting for Jas eonni and Tere to join us.
Lunch for our team as we didn't eat at IFC Mall.
My Mozzarella Cheese Burger.
Where were Kim eonni and Jas eonni?!
Shopping at AK Plaza Duty Free Shop. Actually, I only bought
moisturizing cream to prevent cracking skin in winter, the rest
were for my sister's friend.
Self tax refund counter with helpful and nice volunteer staff.
Please note that it's relocated to Gate 24 and 41 instead of Gate 27. Please check this link for more information on the procedures on immediate tax refund when purchasing goods at tax free shop or claiming back tax refund at other locations.
Self Tax Refund machine with language selections
which is super user friendly and easy to use.
After claimed our tax refund, we headed to Korea Traditional
Cultural Experience Center for free activities to kill time.
You can buy Korean Traditional souvenirs here.
We'd to register for Dancheong wooden keychain painting, as you can see there were a lot of people also interested in this activity, we're put in the waiting list...
Signed guest book with calligraphy pen.
I love Korea very much (한국 많이 사랑해요)~!
Too bad that Hanbok Experience only available for those
boarding Gate number above 100, where you can go there
however there will be no way to return here.
Traditional Dancheong Painting with 5 basic colors (Obangsaek)
of blue, red, yellow, black and white.
Besides functioning as decoration and protection against wind, rain and harmful insects. It also has symbolic of preventing fire and defeating evil spirits.
Heard the announcement that Royal Family Procession was going to start,
so I quickly painting the dancheong and ran out for the procession.
Crown Prince and Princess.
Last time they didn't have photo session with the royal family, but now you're allowed to take photos with them. Of course I didn't want to miss this chance... I wish I'm in hanbok too.
King and Queen.
Princess.
With Royal guards, lady in waiting,...
No wonder Incheon Airport has been voted as the best airport in the world. You don't need to worry that you'll get bored with so much activities and they're free of charge.
After bidding good bye to Lucky and Naz, we went separately to the boarding gate. That's ended our unforgettable and memorable VIP Invitation Tour.
On the flight back to Singapore with Korean Air.
