Are you ready for a kwela koreanovela series featuring the GOppets? ;))

I assumed we will just take a small carry-on luggage each coz.. KOREA. What will we buy there, right? WRONG. Apparently, Korea is a shopping haven, take my word for it. Kulang pala ang tig-1 malaking maleta sa amin, pramis! @_@ Good thing the kids took their own initiative & brought big half-empty luggages in spite of my advice to carry light, lol. And Kap, knowing us, wisely brought 2 foldable luggages as his emergency back-up for his shopaholic family. ;))

Super appreciated the bulkhead seats, extra pay but so worth it the 4 hours we were on air. Btw, guess who were on board with us via CebuPac? Akalain mo yon? Nagba-budget fare din pala ang mga superstars? 😉 Isabel Daza & her mom, former Ms. U Gloria Diaz, were among the passengers Korea-bound. Gloria asked me pointblank what places I recommend they visit.. uhmm.. it’s also my first time in Korea? LMAO.

When I first got hold of my share of Korean money, I was SO HAPPY! Aba, ang dami ko namang pera? Good mood ba si Kap my Kap? Naging instant milyonarya ako! Yun pala, pagpapanggap lang. 😛 Ang isang libong won, katumbas 43 pesos lang. Ahuhuhu. Kay sakit, kuya Eddie!

Again, thank you Ate for your initiative of pre-booking a ride to the apartment. :-* I have a great fear of being mugged in a foreign country. Although in fairness, mukhang safe naman ang Korea, my impression from the short time we were there. Sobrang kampante ang kalooban namin unlike in Europe na takot agad kami pagsapit ng gabi hehe.

For our first meal, syempre naman, Korean BBQ all the way! After going around our neighborhood, we finally settled on this restaurant. Mukhang masaya sya at maaliwalas, so we went inside to fill our growling tummies.

I was complaining pa, how uncomfortable naman the seats. Yun pala, may purpose! Voila, it opens up & doubles as storage for your bags to prevent it from smelling like Korean stew & bbq the whole week. Magaling, magaling, magaling! 😉

The owner was so kind to assist his clueless customers on how to cook the CORRECT way. All along ang yabang ko, having my own griller at home, feeling expert na ako hehe. Oist, may ganito pala? Pwedeng ihawan ng itlog?! Instant omelette. Boss, pabili nga ng isa para maiuwi ko?

Taking his cue from the owner-slash-cooking-sensei, my Babyson tries his hand & acts as our chef for the night. 😉 Saraaaap naman ng luto mo, anak! :-*

Walked off our heavy meal of meat, meat, and more meat after that very filling dinner. Takot bangungutin. ;)) Ended off with ice cream from the 24-hour convenience store located on the ground floor of our building.

Bok was really friendly & helpful. He assisted Ate in booking a taxi limo to pick us up from the airport and answered all her queries. He also gave us welcome drinks & snacks which we found on the kitchen counter upon arrival, and a pocket wifi that we could take along daily on top of the fixed wifi in the apartment.

Naturally, Kap & I got the bed kasi matanda na kami. The girls naman got the sofa which, when opened up, leaves only 2/3 of the couch sleepable -if that. The remaining 1/3 side is made of wood which made it very hard & uncomfortable to sleep on. That left my Babyson with just piled up duvets to sleep on in the spare room meant as a dining room. Kawawang bata. I wanted to buy him a mattress the next day kaso alam nyo naman itong si Kap my Kap, umiral na naman ang matagal na nyang sakit, hay naku! Magtiis daw ng konti. @_@ This pad is definitely NOT for a family of 5, more so 8 as advertised. 2-3 maximum.
