Day 8 (20 Feb 08) Pictures of Shinchon Fashion Street and Incheon Airport

So sad that this is the last day of our tour in Korea and we would have to reach Incheon Airport at 2pm for our 4pm flight to Singapore. I took some pictures of the view from our hotel room. The 2 nights stay at Lotte World Hotel was the best hotel stay during the 7 days we spent in Korea.





We had a very yummy buffet breakfast at a restaurant and i especially loved the ginseng chicken porridge which was really nice in the cold weather (-2 to 6 Delgree Celsius).







Today's weather was not as cold as the past few days but foggy. I really like the view from our hotel and after breakfast our tour guide took us to a duty free cosmestic shop where we bought some Beauty Credit products. We were quite dissapointed that they do not have Face Shop's products as one of our tour members Rain and i had wanted to buy some more facial masks home as it was really cheap at about S$2 each compared to S$4.95 in Singapore. I also noticed that Koreans really like adding ginseng in their beauty products and i also bought a box of ginseng facial masks from Face Shop when we were at Jeju Island. I have not tried yet so i'm not sure if it is really good.

I had wanted to buy some Laneign products but the sales staff advised us that it is only suitable for women below 25 years old :< what a waste! She was saying that Beauty Credit's product was for women below 30 so i could buy :>



After that we went to a Tongchunghacho shop to look at cordyceps. Again most of us were not interested in buying as it was quite expensive and we do not know how to eat it. After that we went to Shinchon Fashion Street and i bought some more products from Skin Food but just could not find Face Shop there although we spent some time searching. I also bought some donuts from Dunkin Donuts to bring back to Singapore for my brother. I also bought a very cute handphone strap and notebook from an interesting lifestyle shop.






Our last stop in Korea was to a shop selling lot of Korean food stuffs. We bought alot of food stuffs like seaweed, chocolate crunch, tangerine tea, bean paste so that i can eat with BBQ meat in Singapore :> It was a miracle that we can stuff everything into our luggage!

When we reached Incheon Airport we took a group picture with our tour guide and thanked him for helping to ensure that we had such a fun and memorable stay in Korea.





The food was great and i would definitely want to go back there again for holiday and more skiing! I would really miss our stay at the ski resort with the majestic view of Taegi Mountain from our room. Thus end my postings of my trip to Korea. Hope everyone enjoys reading about it as much as i enjoy writing about it. Really brings back fond memories of the trip as i write and look through the photos. Do consider Korea if you are thinking of going for a holiday soon ;>
