Tu Do Han Quoc

After landing at Incheon Airport, we had some time at the airport to change into our winter clothing as we were waiting for the local guide to arrive.




Out of curiosity, went out of the terminal building to check out the bus transportation into Seoul.



Before we made our way to the ski resort, we had a short tour of Seoul. Went to the lookout point located behind the Blue House (known as Cheong Wa Dae in Korean) - residence of President Lee Myung-Bak.

Dulich o Han Quoc - Nam 2009

Went on a holiday to South Korea in end-2009 with Chan Brothers. Had a good trip especially with our first experience with snow at Yong Pyong skiing resort. Normally, we would not have the chance to see snow as the period we went was the start of winter. However, two days before we arrived at Yong Pyong, there was snowing at Dragon Peak. The pictures were taken by the South Korean photographer with our tour group.





The skiing part was fun but it was rather tiring humping the skis up the slope wearing the restrictive ski shoes. But no regrets and the weather was beautiful.






And as always, what is a group tour without the usual group photo but this is great!!! White Christmas
