First night @ Seoul. Wandering the streets searching for a good place for dinner.
1st dinner!
In the subway where we were making so much noise,the koreans were glaring at us.
In front of Dongdaemun
Day 2 - At the Seoul International Youth Hostel
Our hostel room.
Opening Ceremony
The heads of the various national delegations had to give a speech. totally impromptu. gosh, nerve wrecking.
The Singapore Chapter of the Asian Law Students Association!
Where we had the welcome party on the 1st night. At a pub on the highest level of this building. It was pretty cool, with free flow of booze and really good food.
3rd day was just Governing Council meetings and more meetings.
4th day - Went to the National Assembly (equivalent to our parliament house) & the National Human Rights Commission of Korea
In front of the Human Rights Commission
that's the national assembly building! isn't it grand and majestic?
our luncheon at the national assembly. That was not all the food. *rubs tummy*
with lin & linda (korean caretaker)
Best dinner we had in Seoul! BBQ Pork~ Delicious-yo!
We look totally satisfied!
Outside the resturant
5th day
Cultural Night!
We sang "singapore town" and bribed them with pineapple tarts and almond cookies.
I wanted a hanbok so badly but they were so expensive. sulks.
6th day - Tour of the palace & the museum (which i did not take pics of cuz i was too tired)
Gloomy palace. Weather sucked big time , it never rains but pours.
With our Korean caretaker, Seung Won.
With Wenzhao in front of the 400 yr old tree he insisted we should take a pic with.
my 15000won ($24.50) lunch
at this restaurant. really pretty. and it was extremely comforting to have lunch there because it was raining cats and dogs outside.
Last night in Seoul. Played drinking games with a whole bunch of people (koreans, singaporeans, HKers, indonesians)
Forfeit! Tsk. Kinyew looks totally sad. ha
my roomies! 4 SG gals + 2 Japanese gals (one missing from the pic)
Erina let me wear her yukata! i look darn fat with my layer of clothes underneath.
Miss these gals!

Since the balloting system refused to grant me any tickets for the actual National Day Parade....
A room at Swissotel is the way to go!
People starting to form the Singapore Flag @ the Padang
Almost done...
Done!!
When dusk came.. Singapore looks even prettier than the last time I saw it.
St Andrew's Cathedral
Fireworks!
This year's NDP has been extremely memorable, from the moment the SQ pilot announced that we would be landing on the 9th of August which is Singapore's National Day, till the last moment of the fireworks.
I've been away for 3 weeks, to 2 very different countries. I have had my share of fun and though I could and would love to live in the States (not in Seoul though, the communication breakdowns frustrate me), Singapore is my home and really, there is no where I rather be..
