Day 4 Time[0530 GMT+9] Place[Daegu The Grand Hotel]

we woke up bright and early today.. ok so maybe it was not as bright other than the few street lamps. ok fine.. it would be pitch dark if not for the man-made lights.. it was a moonless night then.. for once we were able to eat hotel food - it also turned out to be the one and only time.. but it sure did feel good to be eating something farmiliar. we set off shortly after towards Mount Sorak.. which well.. unfortunately for all of us.. a 6hour bus journey.. how did we keep ourselves company? one option was to watch the "movie" which our tour guide had prepared for us.. it turned out to be "da chang jin" the consized version of the whole storyline.. OR.. simply well.. like what i always do on long boring journeys.. sleep..
we stopped along the way after about 2hours to get a toilet break.. and that.. was the first time i saw snow.. YES.. it is my first time.. i couldn't help myself.. the first thing i did when i got down the bus was to cup together a bunch of snow and simply hurl it at the other youth whom i had made friends with during our short time together.. our first snow fight..=P.. and so the story goes on.. go back to bus.. bus moves.. bus arrives at lunch place and we expected something great out of it since it was stated in the itenary that it was seafood steamboat.. SEAFOOD it was.. a crab lay in the pot waiting for us to crack it open to allow us to relish the.. -.-".. pathetic amout of meat in it.. so much for crabs exclusive to korea and japan seas.. alright.. enough complaining.. we finally reached mount sorak and a splendid view it had to offer..

this was the tour group i had spent my holiday in korea with.. a complete mix of lively.. shy.. rude.. ill-mannered.. ok.. u get the picture..
OK.. from here on.. it would plainly be pictures for this section of the entry on Mount Sorak.. i really don't wish to bore you with me explaining what happened every hour of the trip..

Family SHOT!!

great background ain't it?

*insert text here*

Temple at foot of mountain.. the statue is about 30m tall.. or perhaps even more than that..
ALRIGHT.. so now here is the highlight of the trip.. SKI!! we finally reached yong pyong ski resort and geared ourselves up for the exciting time ahead right after dinner..
skiing really was not as simple as i originally thought it was.. NOT.. it was really simple.. for me that is.. after we were taught the basics of course.. and so.. some stuff really i am not good at explaining in words.. well i'm just lazy okay.. lol..

FAMILY SHOT AGAIN!

did i mention it is rather hard to stop when going down the slope? lol
