Korea here we go!

I had initially applied for 10 days leave just so I could avoid the Philippines trip after Good Friday. I am pretty sick of travelling for work & I personally feel that other fellow colleagues who have yet to travel before should be given a chance to do so. Otherwise how will the management know their competency? In my opinion, being able to stand alone overseas to troubleshoot & solve problems certainly does prove something.

Anyway, armed with 10 days leave + a public holiday, We decided to go on a tour to pamper ourselves. Despite the current economy downturn, that is. Hahaha! We had wanted to visit Taiwan but decided a change of destination to some place cooler or perhaps even snowing. Japan came to our mind but we decided to leave it till next January when it is snowing. We settled for a Korea trip as the temperature there is much cooler compared to Taiwan.

We are both pretty excited about this coming trip as we've been trying to find a chance to use our new luggages & digital camera. It can't get any better than this. 8 days Korea tour + another 7 days Hong Kong free & easy. This is the first time we had ever planned such a holiday before & up till now we have yet to calculate the costs involved!

My better half's sister in Hong Kong seems very excited about our visit. She is trying so hard to squeeze our schedule with places to visit & various food to eat. For me, I just want to get away from work & out of Singapore. Don't give them a chance to cancel my leave.

Anyway, the tour guide just called me & briefly informed me what necessities are required. The one thing he mentioned was swimming cap! Some hot spring there requires patrons to be in swimwear with swimming cap! Damn it! I guess we need to go shopping tomorrow afternoon to get 2. He also mentioned that some hotels do not provide toiletries too. Oh this is just great!

Nonetheless, I still hope we enjoy this trip! Korea here we go!
