I was quite nervous when we got to the airport. I still had my spots and I was afraid I might get a fever when we pass by the body warmth checker or whatever it is called.
But praise the Lord I did pass it with a breeze. We waited for around 3 hours before we were boarded. We played Category games just to amuse ourselves.
Oh did I mention that we stopped by KFC for dinner and I almost cried in disappointment when I realized that I couldn't eat chicken. Sigh, I had to go to a nearby restaurant and eat bland Roasted Pork. Not to mention the boisterous drunk table behind me while I waited by my lonesome self for my food because the others could eat in KFC.
After three and a half hours on air, I couldn't wait to leave the airplane. After using Cebu Pacific in almost all my travel, I couldn't help but compare their service.
First and most important to me is the staff. The staff from Cebu Pacific are always smiling and you feel light when you board the plane, unlike Philipine Airlines where the FA's look tired and worn out. Not to mention older than the FA's in Cebu Pac.
The Cebu Pac planes, although smaller are and relatively newer and more well kept that that PAL plane we rode. It was stuffy inside, quite hot and the audio system did not work. So much for having an edge over Cebu Pacific in terms of service and amenities.
I recently watched a Japanese series (Attention Please) and the series gave me an eye opening view into the world of FAs so I can't help but compare.
It was cold in Seoul. A 21 degrees in our air conditioning did not prepare me for the 5 degrees that greeted us in Seoul. I tried my thin jacket outside and I hurriedly came back in to change.
Afterwards, we went to Nami Island. A ten minute ferry ride will get you to Nami Island

Here we are goofing around, pretending we were on our way to Australia.

First order of the day, buffet breakfast at the airport. Yay! We need to eat quite a bit to keep our strength up especially since some of us slept for only three hours and others, like me, slept for an hour tops.
Because of the tension between South Korea and North Korea, the tour guide told us that they will change our itinerary. So first stop of the day, Blue House where the President of South Korea lives.
Then off to The National Folk Museum of Korea where only a few artifacts are left since during the World War, Japan took thousands of artifacts. During the recent G20 summit, they returned 1,500 artifact.

Quick history
Namiseom is a tiny half-moon shaped island located in Chuncheon, South Korea, formed as it was inundated by the rising water of the North Han River as the result of the construction of Cheongpyeong Dam (청평댐) in 1944. Its name originated from General Nami (남이장군)[1], who died at the age of 28 after being falsely accused of treason during the reign of King Sejo, the seventh king of the Joseon Dynasty of Korea. Although his grave wasn't discovered, there were a pile of stones where his body was supposed to be buried. It was believed that if someone took even one stone from there, it would bring misfortune to their house. A tour company arranged the grave with soil and then developed Namiseom into an amusement park.
