Back from yet another holiday! Seoul, Korea...

The past 2 years I have been very blessed to be able to travel to various countries... From America to Malaysia to Thailand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and this time round Korea. Every time is a different experience and this time round, it was great, great and GREAT!

Great company... Great weather (-7 deg)... Great place... Great itinery... Great food! What more can I ask for. Initially we thought that in Korea, we definitely would need to follow a tour. But we found the best package, a half-half win-win situation. We had a tour guide for 1 day, a local bus tour for 1 day and 2 1/2 days of free-and-easy. I must say it isn't all that difficult! You can always act out what you want to tell the person. Example, when you want to hand carry your food and eat while you walk, or that you want to go to the war memorial museum. Just act it out! Although it isn't a total guarantee they would understand or that they would listen to you. Ha... But whats surprising is that many can actually speak Mandarin and they do it more fluently than me!

4 1/2 days seem short but it was a very very very fulfilling trip. We did many things, we slacked, we ate, we had fun, we enjoyed! Thats what most important in a holiday :) Praise the Lord for everything and that we were all well! :)
