Woke up super early today cos we are going to for KBS Drama Settings tour at Suwon, outside of Seoul. It takes around 2hours plus to get to Suwon I guess. So we traveled all the way from Anam to Gangnam where we took a bus to Suwon.
This is how the train in Seoul looks like. Looks pretty similar everywhere I guess.
Waited for bus 3002 to Suwon from Gangnam Subway Station.
The ride to Suwon via the bus took around 30-45mins I guess. We reached Suwon at around 1pm, and the tour starts at 130pm. So we had half an hour for lunch. We found KBS and settled for some nearby cafe for lunch.
Noodles. Dumplings. Yum!
The torrential rain came after we finished our lunch! Seriously! When KBS is only a street away, the rain wants to spoil the mood. ARGH! Nevertheless, we braved through the rain (haha) and arrived at KBS.
Welcome to KBS!
It's a pity the tour is in Korean. So it doesn't really matter if we listen or not cos I don't understand. There were only 2 ppl who understand Korean in the group of people who went. So the tour started and we were all busy taking photos! And we were always lagging behind the tour. It's a bit embarrassing cos the rest of the Koreans were waiting for us, and the tour guide starts only when we assembled. Until a point, where he just continued without us. LOL!
Artists.
面包王!!!
DREAM HIGH!!!
Outdoor drama settings. The walls of these buildings are fake! Not made of cement, just some soft material. Should be rubber.
Olden days settings.
Ok. Done with the tour at around 315pm. Audrey and Sarah went back first cos they were too tired. The rest of us continued to the HwaSeong Haenggung Palace. It's the place where they filmed 大长今. The palace was super big. We finished the lower level of the palace and realised that there was this stairs leading ALL the way up to a pavilion at the TOP of the MOUNTAIN! Obviously, we didn't climb up.

Some cute child games we saw on our way to the palce.
Finally arrived.

Finished the tour. And the rain started coming again! We went to eat one of the specialty of Suwon, galbi. It's BBQ Pork that the Koreans wrap in lettuce and onions plus some sauce. NICE!!
Dinner.
Taking photos is fun. Especially if you have a good camera. I want a better camera. The current camera doesn't give nice colours. Jennifer is mad about taking photos! Lol.
Am deadbeat today. Need to get some rest soon. There's korean language test on Monday. OMG. And I need to seriously faster think of modules to take in NUS.
