exactly. well, manchu or not. let's call it 'Mainland' to avoid confusion. so yeah, korean & japanese are highly likely to be originated from the mainland. biggrin.gif

not sure about japanese, but like my guide said, all the korean words were modified from chinese letters. that's why sound very similiar too. haha oh well, not a very history person here. blush.gif

Materials to prepare the..er..sauce?

First add the chilli powder.

Add garlic..onions...

..soy sauce..ginger..etc.

user posted image
Mix them up all together~

Spread the sauce evenly on each leaf of the cabbage.

Then you tie tie tie and wrap and it becomes like this.

My masterpiece. XD

Basically everything was over pretty fast. Zzz..the rest of the time spent there was taking pics with the costume and buying over priced souvenirs. =/

does anyone know where is the nearest place to purchase T-money once we reach Incheon. I read from the T-Money site, it stated that there's no counter selling T-Money @ Incheon. And since I'll be arriving in the night, are these shops/booths selling T-Money still open?

I'll be there for 4 days, will be travelling only in town area, furthest i presume will be Hongdae and Namsan area, how much in your opinion should i top up my T-money?

Going tomorrow noon ^^

have fun~

you don't really need a t-money card unless you want to hop around subway and buses a lot.

zstan: thanks.. your blogpost has helped me a lot in planning my trip..  thumbup.gif  and most prob will get the T-money, for keepsake and convenience. and I might need to store my luggage at the subway locker on the last day since flight at nite, and will check out in the morning.

Super excited~~  rclxm9.gif

So after all the visiting its time for makannnnnn... Ginseng Rice with glutinous rice!!! =D

Technically the restaurant was just below where i had my breakfast. =.=

user posted image

Cold noodles. Very stupid of me to throw the whole bowl in the soup which literally decreased the soup's temperature by a lot! =.=

user posted image

Ginseng + alcohol

user posted image
...and out it comes.

user posted image
The rice is inside the chicken itself. The meat is also very tender. Including the bones as well. A bit troublesome as you need to spit out the bones every mouthful.

After lunch it is off to the amethyst shop. Nothing much to see except buying things again.

user posted image
Amethyst deco, if you don't know how they look like.

and more leaves.

Aughh... I don't like naengmyeon during cold season, I don't know why they serve you that.
It only tastes good (I actually don't like it though, whatever the season) during summer time, especially if you work as a labourer.
Enjoy your time!
Don't worry about anything, just enjoy!

the guide told me its more pricey. that's why serve us this. =.= other alternative is the maggi mee noodles.

Honestly it tastes almost the same, or maybe less tasty than the one i had at Kimchi & BBQ, Johor Bahru. The kimchi and appetisers they serve is also very limited. But one thing i like is the UNLIMITED REFILL of the pork!!! XDDD ate about 3 bowls. wakakkaa. If only i got more time i can eat more. =P

As of 18th Nov, I withdrew from Citibank Korea at a rate of RM2.80 = 1000 won.

Personal opinion
Busan - not worth the trip, Seoul has so much more to offer! I am here for 2-3 days and can't wait to run out of it.
Jeju - More boring than Busan. If you have been to many other countries before, it is pale in comparison. Required a lot of walking if not on tour. Night time is a dead town.
Gyeongju - If you really have no place to go, come to see one temple and tombs. Day trip is sufficient. My 2 days trip here is quite a waste.

wa u go how many days. i seoul 2 days also not enough. laugh.gif

@Niel, is there a lot of Citibank branch over there? I meant is it easily located? Or HSBC?

Anyway, me I'm going to borrow winter clothing from friends. See any trendier and cheap one then only buy there.

I saw one type of Adidas before in Japan. It's quite lightweight and not that thick. Didn't buy during then and regretted until now.

go nandaemun la. see until your eyes blur. so many to choose from. laugh.gif
