23 April 2013 - Yongin Korean Folk Village ~ Suwon Hwaseong Fortress ~ Suwon Hotel

I hate travelling on a plane as I cannot fall asleep on matter how I tired I am. And to add on, the damn flight entertainment was not working so there was no movies I could watched, no games I could played nor music I could listened to. Sucks!

I could not be more than happy when our flight touched down at 0700hrs. We meet our driver who took us to meet Jac & her family. They had arrived the night before, hence we picked them up at their hotel first before heading to our next destination together.

The drive to Yongin ~~Everland~~ Folk Village took slightly more than an hour & when we arrived, it was drizzling. Damn! The rain never stop & it continued into the night.

Cherry Blossoms were still around everywhere in Korea & we were lucky to have seen it. Due to adverse weather conditions, the flowers were still in their cheeky bloom :)

There were many, many school children everywhere. Goodness! I'm not sure if it is their school holiday or what... Every corner we turned, groups after groups... However, I was totally pissed off at their manners!

Some of the many performance we caught. Cant possible looked at all; the rain, the crowd, and majority of the umbrellas posed a danger. Those children never did bother about the adults around them; swaying & swishing their umbrellas as if there were fairy wands. Yikes...

And when they blocked our views. we had to gently but firmly pulled their umbrellas aside & with our hand gestures, told them to ~~buzz off~~ please move away ( we do not know how to speak their language). Except for Jac who can speak Korean.

Our lunch consisted of some spiced pork slices & bean paste stew. For those of you who can read Korean, you can read & understand the menu.

Suwon Hwaseong Fortress. Walking under the rain & cold wind, we were exhausted but the walls never seemed to end. It was only when we saw the map, we realised we had: (1) started off from the wrong point in the 1st place & (2) only 1/4 of the walls covered after such a long time.The rain was pelting down heavier & we were very reluctant to open our umbrellas as the wind was so strong; our umbrellas could have been blown away.
