Korea - The Land of Morning Calm 24 - 31 Dec 2008

Had a very enjoyable and fruitful trip back from Korea. We were fortunate to have a good local guide which made me changed my mind about joining tour groups :D

We stayed at Phoenix Park Hanwha resort for one night. Took this picture in the early morning from the hotel room's balcony. It was freezing cold. I dashed back into the room right after taking a few shots :P



Due to some 'mistakes' we were given a huge royal suite with 3 bedrooms and a big living room! How nice! Just for fun sake, we slept on the futons in the living room instead.. lol. funny..

The room's heater was set at 39 degree celsius. We couldn't adjust the centralise heating system and so had to open the balcony window to cool down the room. So, the floor was very warm but the freezing cold breeze blew in at the same time. A weird feeling of hot and cold at the same time.. haha.. it drove my friend nuts..

happy new year! nice pics! btw, do you use any photo-editing software to touch-up your pics? so you use your S5 for this occasion?

i used my sis's canon a640 for this entire trip and did some minor adjustment (adjust level and burn) using photoshop.

thanks for viewing!

hi there, thanks for dropping by :)

don't worry about climbing to the peak cos the cable car will take you all the way almost to the top. the walk from the station to the peak is actually optional. if you can manage, then can take a slow walk up, otherwise, the view from the station is already quite superb ;)

enjoy your trip!
