Seoul, Korea, 7-10 April 2011

This was my second trip to South Korea. The first was in February this year, also on business. And it was really a rather different experience.

In February, it was freezing and there was snow on the ground.


We had lots of great food. Every day. Every meal. We stuffed ourselves crazy each time and then said we would skip dinner. Or supper. Or breakfast.

Never happened. Pigs.



Some pictures of our great meals together..


BBQ pork with lots of kimchi side dishes.


BBQ chicken with veg, kimchi and rice thrown in


More BBQ

Yums. Delicious.

This time around, the food was not as great, so no more bloated tums or big burping contests.

But what made it really memorable was the company that we had. It was the SEGi Management trip. 38 of us went, from all centres. We got to know each other a little more. It was special. I had so much fun, so much laughter. And very nice memories.



That's me on the far left, front row. Aih, must remember to stand in a more ladylike fashion next time.

Also went sight seeing to a lot of historical places. These are the kind of things that you'd normally need to drag me to, or forcefully carry me there. But it turned out to be not so bad after all. Must be the people that made all the difference.







We also went to the Seoul Tower. Had to walk up the hill. It wasn't the tower that captivated me, nor the Teddy Bear Museum (although it was a favourite with many girls). No, it was the thousands of locks on the fences, and on rings of steel. From afar, they look like Christmas Trees.



Koreans are so romantic. These are actually love locks, with the keys thrown away, symbolizing eternal love, never to be separated. Locked in everlasting love. Wow. So romantic, kan.






Awww...

It was a 4D3N visit to Seoul. Great trip, great company. But as always, I miss my babies. And I came home, happy to be reminded that at home, I have the greatest love.






Who needs love locks anyway.
