Day 5, we woke up fresh and energized as we were back to the room early the night before and managed to catch sufficient sleep as compare to the earlier few nights. Today, we will be checking-out from Hanhwa resort and on the way, we will be heading for fruit-plucking, kimchi-making and dress-up in traditional Korea Costume.
Here's our first itinerary of the day! Fruit-Plucking! Chameh is the fruit for picking during June! Chameh is a type of Korean Melon which I have never try until we were there. The korea melon does not have a lot of commercial exposure. It is said to be difficult to harvest and easily ruptured and sunburn.
The Korea melon is oval shaped with deep evenly spaced white linear sutures throughout its yellow rind. Its translucent white flesh with highly concentrated sweetness. When ripe the melon's flesh is semi-firm in texture with a mild sweet flavor. The melon is completely edible including the seeds and it very very tasty that i miss it's taste until today.
We plucked, washed , removed the skin and tested our first juicy sweet Korea Melon!! I love it to bit, it tastes so much better than Honeydew, Rock Melon.. i was afraid that I cant find it in Singapore therefore i "tapao" quite number of melons back home...hahaha then to my surprise that it actually sold in Singapore too but of course with higher price and it may not taste as good as the one that we eat just next to where it grows. Guess that's our breakfast if i remembered correctly hahaha.... i forgot where we eaten our breakfast in Day 5 though!
Next we proceed to Kimchi-Making, one of the unmissable itinerary in Korea trip. Even Dan was given a chance to participate in it. That's is why it is always my principle to expose him anywhere/everywhere around the world as it is one of the best learning-process that one book cant have it all. Some parents may find it too young for them to remember for some many things but to now whenever we flipped through our photo albums, Dan can easily recall what he had done during the trips.
Oh, what's a cute little one, our local tour guide assistant-Jimmy was so kind to get this attire ready when we were still making our Kimchi, he went in just to measure Dan's hands and when we arrived at the Korean Clothes Room, he handed it over to me for putting on for Dan, thanks to him otherwise I wont be able to search one as the room was super crowded with other tourists around too.
As you can see, he was quite please with this "boy" attire and taking photos happily!
Finally, all the ladies in Hanbok!! Then i noticed now...where is Linda gugu?!!!
Tour guide-Jing Jie came up with this prank idea to dress Dan Dan in "Girl" Hanbok, look at his unaccommodating expression, I got blamed until today to force him dress like a girl...hahaha whenever he saw this photo.. furthermore i developed this photo to showcase it in our living room where everyday we can see it.
After a busy morning experiencing Korea Cultural activities, finally we were brought for lunch!! This eatery house a bit different from the usual restaurant that we were brought to where those restaurant cater more for tour groups whereas for this, we saw some local/individual customers visited the restaurant too.
After a heavy meaty lunch, finally something really merry/ pleasant with galore of lively entertainment awaiting for the kids and of course myself, i love theme park because I can snap a load of nice/colorful/fun-filled photos from theme park. Here, we were at YONGIN EVERLAND.
Look at the following photos where we took our group photos with, the fake tulips are vividly captivating.Everyone was looking great and cheerful!!
We have real nice family photos !
Jing Jie had planned out nicely our itinerary in Everland! She brought us to try out those rides that deem to fix/appropriate to all ages!! We had very professional and involving tour-guide! She actually took the rides with us and challenges some games with us too.. What's a fun tour-guide we had
Next, we visited Safari World and enjoyed the bus tour to see the wild (Tigers,Lions,Liger and Big Brown Bears!) in close as some of them can even perform right outside the bus windows in order to get some reward from us, but too bad, we didn't have any for them. For smaller family tour, there are jeeps (fully protected with steel rods) rented out.
Above is the Liger
The one and only available in the world, the baby of both Tiger and Lion!
We had so much fun in the themepark, Danzel managed to try out few rides! Guess this was the most memorable day to him throughout the 7 days trip.
After dinner, we we back to our hotel at Seoul, also marked the last hotel that we were going to stay!! We checked it our hotel located at Gangnam!!
