Korea pt.3

JE JU ISLAND!              

             Beautiful palm trees to greet me. Felt like L.A! 
      TREND ALERT! : Older ladies with colorful hiking gear from head to toe. Holla at yo mamma! hahah
Shades of blue, how I love you.

 
Genghis Khan show- worth watching!  
Underwater adventure- this is the little transfer boat that took us to the submarine...waste of $$!!
 
Inside the submarine. Saw about 3 types of fishes? The handler had to lure them near with food.. my mom told our driver to not bring future tourists there. ahahaha
Elephant show
Glass World- Korea's #1 Glass Theme Park
Glass arts exhibition that has over 250 glass artworks from all around the world on display
  
 
Looking through the glass telescope!
Soinguk Miniature Theme Park- Models of famous architecture all over the world!
. Went horse riding! Apparently they are famous horses! as they've appeared in Korean dramas
Love Land
Outside the Botanical Garden
Inside the pension we were staying at, forgot to take photos of downstairs!
*
&& we stopped by the Je Ju mysterious road! Despite the road appearing uphill, the car still moves as if the road is going downwards! optical illusion. be sure to check it if you go :) Also stopped by Hallasan,  Folklore museum n much more. Beautiful Island . Je Ju

And yes, if you've noticed in pictures I got a perm! Loving it, but not so much my bangs ..so until it grows out i'll be pinning them back!

Korea Pt.2

EVERLAND THEME PARK!  
                                                                                   Here are several interesting photos---- enjoy!
Fennec fox I believe. So cute. apparently some people have them as pets?! .. so google says.
Great white Pelican!  I was in awe because it was so huge..
Flamingos! they drink water with their head upside down lol
BLACK SWAN! hhahaa youz crazy?!
They were waiting anxiously for food. 
           LOL so cute. my cousin showing off his new dinosaur. The monkeys were so fascinated and scared. hehe
See the lion on the right? lol he's a pimp! so many gf's . hahahah
Inside the safari bus!    so close, it looks fake. haha

Pretty much just came here to see the animals! Previous visit to Korea I'd gone on majority of the rides, this place is huuuuuuuuuge!

Photo snaps- Korea pt. 1

None of which is in particular order:

          Set to go!
          Stopped by Myeong Dong shopping district- it's filled with flagship stores of major global and local brands
Was so hot! had to stop by my favorite donut shop! DUNKIN DONUTS
The flower shaped one ( Olive twist ) at the bottom is the best! They have rice cake in their batter making the bread so chewy n yummy~
 Was able to see Namsan Seoul Tower from here ! From the top of the tower you are able
to gaze down on the city of Seoul.
My mom promised to buy my cousins toys so here we are at the toy shop! 

 Photo of one of my cousins :) 
 Place where all tourists stop by: Namdaemun Marketplace
The largest market in Korea. 
They have everything from household items, to souvenirs, clothing, food etc.. Best place to get celebrity items ie. socks, keychains, posters haha
Bought lots of makeup and skincare items, lots of which isn't in this photo. But here you can see
eye brow kit, cleansing foam, cream and essence, sunscreen, colored lip blam, eyeliner, and moisturized 
cotton pads before applying on bb cream etc. [ All bought from Etude ]
These are strawberry rollers! they were so cute I just bought them to give them a try. Basically you
just roll them up in your hair when it's dry and after 20 mins or so you are left with curls!
 Stopped by to watch my uncle kick some ass  ;) 
 Supa baby~~
Ssamzie-gil -Place in Insadong, where you can enjoy shopping and Korean culture altogether.
 Entrance of Changdeokgung (Palace) "Palace of Prospering Virtue" [one of the 5 grand palaces ]


























  Built as 2ndary palace of Gyeongbokgung in the Joseon Dynasty.  ( originally we had gone to the main palace but happened to be closed! >.<) didn't take many decent photos of the palace ..
 
 
 & Just a fraction of the secret garden
