fishy fishy fishy

Lovely weather today = lovely outing! Our student voluteers came to pick us and we had ginseng chicken for lunch! it may seem like a common thing in singapore but ginseng chicken in Korea is alot different. The soup was bland and they added glutinous rice in the soup... so it's a dish by itself. Supposedly, the heat from the ginseng chicken is supposed to counter the heat in Summer, so it's really quite cool.


Apart from the ginseng chicken, they served us ginseng alcohol as well! Alcohol content wasn't high (about 10%) but it tasted really yummy and good for our health! I drank the most cos june didn't really like it and i drank her portion =P.


' Traditional' way of pouring wine... like not much different from singapore.




And ginseng chicken!



And we got ourselves transportation cards to travel around korea! it's similar to EZ link cards but the cards can be hung around the handphone and they're cute!! So much better than in Singapore!


Mine and LS's.

Next up... Jagalchi Fish Market!




i saw this really cute boy playing with some metal pole stuff and i couldnt resist taking a picture of him

Us and our student voluteers.

Went to this park later but i couldn't remember the name.

Had candy art while shopping in Nampo- dong. Apparently, the uncle's famous in korea for candy art, appeared in variety shows for his candy and travels around selling his candy art. Just walk up to him and tell him the figure that you wish to have.. and he'll draw it out using heated candy.

This deer was given to us by our student voluteers and the eminent uncle drew it out in less than 5 minutes and sealed it in a transparent bag for us!

so that's all folks!

School's starting soon and we're all dreading it =(. Hopefully we'll be able to take lesser subjects and plan the timetable to a 3/4 day week. Really wanna seoul soon... sooo... keeping my fingers crossed!!
