Autumn/Winter in Korea: Longest Day Two

November 27, 2010

After tossing and turning the whole night, I did manage to fall asleep and wake up at 7AM. This is the first time that I am alone in a hotel room.

I woke up right on time and just had enough extra time for a full breakfast. Since it rained yesterday, we were greeted with snow in the morning. At first we all couldn't believe it but yes, my first snow encounter. YAY!

Day Two Itinerary:

9AM - 4PM - Off to Everland

Shopping at Dongdaemun

It was Jen's first snow too.

They all gave us maps which by 4PM was all crumpled and torn.

Patches of Snow everywhere. i think it was -5 degrees at this time

Snowflakes everywhere!

KRIS KRINGLE: Something Big

I never thought it would be hard to find something BIG for Php 100 pesos ($2) I short listed the following for my fashionable friend: ...a big box of tissue (useful) ...a big toblerone (but this is WAY over budget) ...a big trash bin ...a case of big oatmeal cookies (last resort) ...a big mirror ...a big bookmark (which i couldn't find anywhere) ...a BIG beer (unrelated) ...a big organizer it's quite difficult really. But I must search for something else. PRESSURE! On a side note, Jamie treated us to Pizza Hut's Lechon pizza. After eating, I felt like I would pass out at any moment due to high cholesterol but it was quite tasty if you're a fan of Lechon (roasted pig). The pizza did taste a bit like Mang Tomas' lechon sauce. A big slice of Pizza hut's lechon pizza

Rizal in Marikina - Waze (app) and Google Maps Marikeno (native people in Marikina) are said to be the most disciplined people in the Philippines. If the cleanliness around Marikina were a testament to that, Marikenos would pass with flying colors. The streets I could say were similar to those in Singapore - free from litter and we saw people from households cleaning their own front area even if it were facing a street. SHOE CAPITAL of the Philippines Marikina produces 70% of the shoes in the country. and holds the World's Largest Pair of Shoes, recognized by the Guinness World Records. In Marikina, you can find the Shoe Museum which houses 800 out of the 3000 shoes that were part of the famous shoe collection of the
